To Xanax or not to Xanax? That is the question.

Today I decided to do nothing but lay around – to relax all day and try to trigger my blood to start regenerating. It’s day #23 and so far nothing! I feel all achy. My cousins Nancy and Tina called say hello and see how I was navigating though my difficult voyage. I always laugh when I talk with them no matter how heavy the conversation. Tina spent time trying to convince me to TAKE the Xanax that was prescribed for me three weeks ago, which I finally filled yesterday (she calls it vitamin X and thinks that everyone should have iit in their cupboard). I mean, how many mental meltdowns do I need to have before I accept “help” in trying to get my head around this situation I’m in? I’m certainly not doing a very good job on my own, am I?

When my son Steve called today I told him how useless I felt and how I can’t get anything accomplished. He said to me that because I’m expending so much effort trying to get well (60%, 70%, 90%?), I only have a small amount of effort left to expend on other things. That’s why things fall through the cracks or don’t get done. People ask me how many books I’ve read or how many movies I’ve watched or how much work work I have done. The answer is ZERO. Is it no time or no ability to concentration or both? Am I trying to figure out something that really can’t be figured out? I am struggling!!

  2. June, Are you praying for help and healing with all of this? We are praying for you to have strength to deal with all of this. I know it is easier for me to say than for you to do, I have not been walking in your shoes this time. But we are here to help you. I will call you. Jeanie

  6. Hi June,
    So happy that I found out about this blog. Hope by now you've taken the pill. As someone else said, it will take the edge off. Stop trying to figure things out (you can't) & does it really matter how much you get accomplished? Please know that I'm thinking about you and praying for you.
    Love,
    Joan
