Mommy's Broken: Life with Lupus: Falling Up

Falling Up

Well I have been doing really well. Or rather I have been doing alot. I managed to get a 40 hour work week in at work. This I am very proud of. I really never figured I would be able to do that again. I know I have been pushing it more than I should but I have goals. All was going well so go figure that I would have to trip and fall. Not a nice like stumble, no I have to take a diving crash into the hard floor. I hurt both my knees and both my shoulders, as well as every other joint in my body. I am kinda impressed with this, one fall and I completly wreck my whole body. The doctor at the ER must not care what my medical records says because he thought I would be just fine to work a nine hour shift today. I can bearly hold a cup of tea. Off to take a bath, seeing if it will help. Wish me luck.

Why Mommy's Broken?

I have two little girls. Trying to get them to understand that Mommy isn't like all the other Mommies is much harder than you'd think. Doing it while trying not to scare them is even harder. I wanted to give them something they would understand on their level but wouldn't be lost on someone else. So I started by telling them that Mommy was broken, as to not tell them I am sick. Sick people get better, mommy doesn't. There are days when Mommy can get up and run around and do all those wonderful things; But there are days when Mommy has to stay in bed and rest. They have been able to take this information and be at ease about Mommy not being 'normal' or 'healthy'. Now I have a new challange of trying to let them know that mommy is not going to get to live as long as most other people. Telling your kids you are going to die is alot harder than you'd think.
