“It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it’s lonely, because you feel you can’t talk about it. You feel it’s something between you and the body. You feel it’s a battle you will never win . . . and yet you fight it day after day, and it wears you down. Even if you try to ignore it, the energy it takes to ignore it will exhaust you.” ― David Levithan, Every Day
The Good Nurse has decreed that today there shall be no blogging. This patient must sleep. And if there is no sleeping there must be rest.
It’s a hard battle this patient is fighting. Up all night with bone pains and burning skin, misbehaving eyes and a stomach and bowels that are most uncooperative.
No, no writing today. Instead there will be medicine, more medicine, and a soft bed, with pillows and attentive canine nurses, which are, of course, the very best kind.
Normal blogging may resume tomorrow. Or not. In any case, we will keep you posted.
Nicole my thoughts are with you as you rest. Mayb we should start a blog for you that you can read so that you know how much we all love and care for you and enjoy these amazing newsletters you put together …
Sending smiles … maria 🙂

Imagine all of us holding you in a cocoon of healing and love. I am so glad you found me. Rest well dear one. Your body loves you so dearly.
Well wishes to you.
You know, last week, I surrendered to rest and it was amazing. Of course it was sickness that got me and even though I was irritated that I was sick, I now look at it as a gift… Because my restlessness finally found some rest and some healing. 🙂
I hope you feel better soon x
There is a very shy canine nurse ‘Oscar ‘ right here now that would give you a great big wet kiss if only he could …you take care sweetheart thinking of you .
love Cherry xxxx
My dear Nicole I admire your stamina and determination. We will all be here when you are well enough to write again. Will miss you each day but want you to rest and take care of yourself . Use all your energy and spirit to heal yourself and don’t worry about us. I think you have given us all so much already that now we can look back over all the previous writings and do the” work ” with the info and inspiration that you have given . I think we should think of a better word for your daily offerings “blog” is just not enough its so much more. Love you and really feel you close Patty
My prayers are with you Nicole.
It’s like a fight within yourself and no one else can do terribly much. I’m resting here in bed having just had the same discussion with Ray. I’m wishing for a canine nurse before another race to the ‘bathroom’.
I feel your pain. Rest well and be kind to yourself.
Like my ‘namesake’ Owls and Orchids to offer wise counsel and delightful sights and scents 😊
Love,light and many blessings ❤❤❤
Dear Girl, lots of love and warmth, thoughts and blessings. y
