I can't sleep....

so I think it's time to update. I haven't been able to for almost the past week. For those of you who don't know...I was diagnosed with shingles. No fun. I am so blessed to have so many friends and family who love and care about me. I have to say THANKS with all my heart to everyone. I wouldn't have been able to get through this extremely hard time without you all. I know there's probably still a long road ahead but I have been so grateful for: Amber - for taking me to urgent care, dropping off all my prescriptions, grocery shopping for me, my favorite homemade cookies, and always calling to check on me. Also, letting me cry on the phone without getting annoyed. :) and making doctors phone calls. You are a lifesaver. Jen Stewart - for homemade dinners, doing my laundry, beautiful flowers, all kinds of yummy treats, washing my hair in the sink....oh how I needed that, all your visits and phone calls. It all helped me feel so much better. Not making me feel like I have to always be positive. Even when I'm in pain. Last but not least...my Sonic drinks. Hayley - for the homemade soup, ice cream bars, the medicine to help me feel better, the oatmeal for oatmeal baths, and for rubbing the vinegar on my blisters. You are so sweet. Dave and Drew - for rushing right over and giving me a blessing. I love you both for that. Robin - for coming by and bringing all the "meds" to help to sleep and try to get out of pain. It all helped. Thank you for calling everyday and letting me hear your voice. I love you. Jen Sedillo - for the best pot pie ever! And, chocolate cake. :) And, for your visit and all your texts checking on me. Also, the movie....it helped taking my mind off the pain. Thank you so much! Annette - for the homemade cinnamon rolls. After this is all over....I will be needing to go on a diet. They were incredible! Susie & Eli - for finding out everything you could on shingles and bringing all the stuff you thought would help. I appreciated that so much! Barbra Jo - for filling in for me on my 2 big jobs this week. My clients were in great hands and I knew I could count on you. And, most importantly...my mom and dad. Who has spent countless hours with me....letting me cry...letting me sleep....bringing meals in. Rubbing the vinegar all over my blisters. Bringing me magazines. Homemade soup. Medicine. Helping me bathe. Cleaning. Changing my sheets. Laundry. Making me eat even when I don't want to. There is absolutely nothing like parents. I love you guys so incredibly much and am so blessed you are willing to take care of me. Brooke, Paige and Dane - for the homemade get well cards. The girls wrote poems. I have to share..... I'm sorry Jenny that you're so sad That you are sick and I feel bad. You know when I am sad I think of happy things and then I feel glad. Like a car, a star or maybe a chocolate bar. A sun, a home run or how about a hot dog bun? A ball, a car that will roll down the hall, or maybe a nice trip to the mall. Some rings, a king, oh there are so many things! Some candy or maybe you being so cute and dandy! Oooohh, maybe a nice cool job! Or maybe just some corn on the cob! Oh, so many good things I thought of right now... just think of good things now you know how! Feel better. Love, Paige Jenny bug, Jenny bug. I hope you better. I thought of you when I wrote this letter. Flowers that grow, and candy so sweet, or how about a cupcake, oh what a treat! A cricket helps you scrapbook, jewelry that you wear, sewing classes, blogging and talents that you share. Sonic drinks, a friendly wink, a stroll into the park. There's lots of things about you that we all adore. We hope you get better so we can see you some more. I love you. Brooke There are still so many people who have called and helped. Thank you everyone. I hope the next time I blog....the shingles will be DEAD.
