Sharon - years of living with it - and yep - I know what you mean about feeling like a nutcase. I still think you handle it better than me - I tend to stay in and paint, read, and knit - you are hosting dinner parties! So, you inspire me...that said, I don't like to cook - you inspire me because I just feel you understand.
I cherish good days - days with relatively low nausea/pain. I hope you are still working only part time. There is nothing for you to be ashamed of regarding not working so much. I know you love your work - but your health has to come first right now - (stating the obvious, I know). You are a go getter - and I know that sustains you. Just "go get" a bit more slowly I need to speed up - maybe we can morph into one person who handles this "just right" ha! Sending loving thoughts to you across the pond.
