It's my turn to whine, although I shouldn't. Since June 23rd, we have had out of state (3) and out of
country (3 from Argentina) family here for a family reunion staying at our house. 3 adult kids with family are living close by.
Altogether we have 5 adult kids with spouses and 8 grandkids over to play or for dinner any given time. You'd think I'd be so happy to have us all together, as I love everyone and we all get along so well. It has been perfect for family photos (19 of us altogether).
Right now I wish I was living on the far side of the moon. Alone. I have never in my life been so exhausted and stressed. I did plan ahead and cooked and froze some meals and stocked up on food, but it's going fast! Cleaned house thoroughly too - not anymore. Most are pitching in to help to some degree and I'm trying not to be picky.
On top of this we had water problems from our well in the beginning and $5,000 was forked out to correct our problem. That was stressful too.
My MS symptoms are acting up big time - mostly spasticity in my legs, major cog fog and fatigue. I had an appt with my new and awesome neuro yesterday and she adjusted my meds and added baclofen to my arsenal. Drove the 40 min back home and forgot to pick up it up at the drugstore
My one dil staying here is 7 months pregnant and having migraine headaches and sleeping if off, my son is working here for the summer and their 3 year old is not taking naps anymore. What to do? They are staying for another month, but we only get to see them once a year! Everyone does plan events away from home, but more than not, I just can't participate anymore. I'm missing out on some fun times. I feel so bad about this and curse MS at these times and feel so mad, sad and frustrated
Thanks for reading - just had to get this off my chest for those who can understand. My husband is also exhausted and stressed. We normally live a quiet and stress free life.
