Peggy's Blog

I thought since this is my first blog I would tell you about myself which I know I have told Pieces of this already. I am married with three boys in there 20's one works for the school system doing computer stuff, one grad with a psy, degree and is hoping to go to school to be an xray tech. and one is still in college he wants to be a teacher, I have been married to my husband 29 years with its ups and downs. I have always stayed home since my boys were born about two years after I got married. I luckily didn't have to go back to work and have no desire to. By the way I am almost 55 birthday in July. We have liked in beautiful

colorado Springs for the last 19 years and I love it snow in May and all.

I belong to two twelve step programs Al anon and overeaters anonymous. I spend alot of time now giving service to my overeaters(OA) taking phone calls and doing other things to

support my abstinence. I wasn't really that much overweight but had all the isms worried about my weight, was always snacking even though it was just carrots. I am on a food plan and have a connection with God that supports my food plan and life and has turned my life

around. I share this because it is a part of me and one that has made me very happy.

I have only been knitting since December I have learned a couple times but not stayed with it

the way I am now.

I love having friends a on this board it is so much fun. Right now because of my bi-polar and getting the meds right again I am isolating alot and this board really helps. I think I am somewhere near my 30th square. Well thats all for now. thanks ahead of time for all

your responses

Well dear Peggy one of my main concerns at the moment is getting the cat to stop peeing in inappropriate places! I'll be half way through a row of knitting and hear a "scritch-scratch-scritch" and leap up to find a puddle deliberately made, yuck. Seems to be improving since getting a spray from the petshop. We did have to put them in cattery for 5 days while getting my daughter from Scotland and apparently they were very aggressive there....then we were away for a week leaving them at home with the same daughter and they misbehaved. I think they dislike ANY change of circumstances at all.

I'm really sorry to hear you're still having back problems and with the bi-polar meds too. I know I've mentioned it before but have you tried the chiropractor for your back? It was the only thing that worked for me.

With knitting I've just started a cushion of squares of different stitches for my cousin who's recovering from a kidney transplant, and am doing some cute slippers for KAS, see Julia Dee's blog. I have such a backlog to post, really should stop knitting and start packing.

The holiday we had was in an old mill looking out for miles over rivers and marshes...the birds, animals and sunsets were unforgettable (though maybe not everyone would have liked the spiders as much as we did!!!)

Take care Peggy. Love Anne.

Hi Peggy,

It's nice to see you on here again! My prayers are with you and your family. Don't beat yourself up about not being able to knit at the moment, instead of sending squares perhaps set aside 5 minutes each day to have the KAS children in your thoughts and send them a prayer.

Blessings,

Angela

I thought of all of you today and wishing I could knit. I think I told you last time I am having back problems I have had them for about two monthes now going out of the house is very painful so I don't much. I am still having problems getting my bipolar meds right.

Well I just mainly was wondering what all of you are up to.

    last time I had this we used a chiropracter and it didn't help this time is much much worse than last time but still in the same place. I have some exersices to do but all and all not much luck yet. Knitting would help me thru this time but if you remember I was having hand problems getting phsyical therapy before my back started up . Thanks so much for writting back. I miss all of you and being able to participate in the knitting.

I thought I would give everyone an update on me. Life has been quite complicated I have now hurt my back the pain is in the rear end and my bipolar still hasn't been settled. So I am really in a bad state. My husband is staying home right now luckily he can work from home. I have been staying at home except for physical therapy. I need prayers for my hurting rear end we are going to phsyical therapy I hope it works . I sometimes don't see the end of the tunnel well anyways just mostly wanted to pop and say a quick hi and ask for prayers.

    thanks this is all so scary.

      Are your hands any better Peggy? I really hope the physical therapy works. And I bet the extreme heat you're having in the States doesn't help either. Thinking of you xxx

        Thinking of you Peggy and its great to have an update from you. One day there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.A bright spot is that your husband is with you. I hope that therapy really makesa difference.

        We're rooting for you Peggy...just go one day at a time. Can you use one of those lightweight electronic pads, like a Kindle, to read a book while lying down? Having arthritic hips and lower back I do sympathize over sitting problems, and standing ones too. No fun, I agree. :(
        
        Hang in there kiddo. We are praying for you and we have faith you'll make it through. Go gently, take good care of you. Now is the time to be pampered...you've done so much for others, let them take care of you, for once. It's a pretty cool feeling! (I remember that from when I broke my leg) It will get better over time...it will. Have faith hon, this storm will roll past too.
        
        Love, Jeanne xoxoxoxo
