This is an exhausting entry...and I'm o...Lisa! This is an exhausting entry...and I'm only reading it; you're living it. How long can you keep this up? I think it must be hard for you to delegate that which must be done to those around you available to do just that. This is a trait I suffer from; things will only be done right if I do them (and I know it's not realistic nor healthy but I can't help it). I hope this all works out for you in the end. This is something you wanted so much, so badly. Don't lose sight of that. P.S. My hands act up often in the early morning when I have to put ted hose (supportive stockings that are like a second skin) on residents. I know I have arthritis in my thumbs and there are times when the entire top of my hands hurt and nothing short of manually massaging them helps. Try that. Odorless Ben Gay cream works wonders as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-61376691182582645282006-09-23T20:10:00.000-07:002006-09-23T20:10:00.000-07:00Odorless Ben Gay works.

Wish I could help, all I can do is light some of those candles of mine and shoot them your way. <br><br>JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-16721052876706168612006-09-23T21:50:00.000-07:002006-09-23T21:50:00.000-07:00Oh, Lisa, my heart goes out to you. I so know what...Oh, Lisa, my heart goes out to you. I so know what you're experiencing. I urge you to write your list down. It really does help. Second, soak those hands in some warm water with a fragrant oil added to it. Then lotion up, put on some gloves and go to bed. My mom always said it helped. For those little refreshers that don't take a lot of time, make sure you have a space at the restaurant that's both private and feels good to you, even if it's a corner of a storage room. Take ten minute breaks, even if you have to use a timer to keep them to ten minutes, where you just breathe, shut your eyes and do some refreshing visualizations. I know it sounds like BS, but it's worked for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
