This will be a short answer as I am currently under the weather and Max the Cat is unavailable 😪 Hopefully, people would say that I try very hard, despite all the physical and mental limitations that I am currently battling… perhaps they would say that I am like the energizer bunny… No matter how difficult things get I just try to keep going and going and going to the best of my ability!
Thank yall for reading 📚
And God bless
Anna and Max the Cat 🐈 who is currently unavailable 😪
I had been searching YouTube for a good video to post 📫 that might possibly help. I havent had a lot of luck but I found this short video about chronic pain and anxiety and depression 😢 I know I suffer from a lot of anxiety especially during flares as well as depression 🫥 I dont know about yall.. The video briefly speaks about pain invalidation. (Which is something that I know a lot of folks have probably experienced) it also mentions how it would be wonderful when patients go to talk about chronic pain if mental health was also involved so patients didn’t have to feel like they were being stigmatized or like the pain was possibly all in there head… I hope this helps a little..
It seems to be getting more and more difficult for me to explain this to folks these days 😕 especially doctors! and acquaintances!
I am finding this the case more and more the longer the pain continues without an answer. 😡 Its very disheartening
Has anyone else found this to be a similar experience perhaps with a spouse or family member?
God bless 🙌 Anna and Max the Cat 🐈
Sadly, im back in the hospital for a few days (which hasnt helped my case) upon another return. especially with the doctors 🙄 who are beginning to doubt it’s authenticity…
Max has also been getting visits twice a day from (expensive).pet sitters 😪 I really hope he is going to be okay 👍 I sure do feel guilty 😔
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?
My favorite place 😍 in the entire world is Casey Jones Village in Jackson, TN My mother 👨🍼 and I used to visit all the time ⏲️ It holds very special memories for me. It has the homey and comforting atmosphere of an old county store. 😀
Gift shop
They sell all kinds af things, old fashioned candies, dolls, lamps, soaps, sodas, they even have an old fashioned ice cream parlor!.There are also many photos from by-gone days which line the walls 🧱 You feel as though you have stepped into a time warp back to the early 1900s 😀
They also have a buffet of the best Southern food that you have ever tasted 😋
Buffet
There are southern staples such as macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes 🥔 covered with butter 🧈 green beans, Johnny cakes, fried chicken 🍗 🐔 and fried catfish 😋 👌
The people are so nice and you always come away full of delicious foods, and perhaps with a wonderful new treasure, 😋
Since my mother has passed and I am limited in my travel it is possible I may never be able to visit again 🙄 but it will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
It is about 70 miles from Memphis Tennessee (where I grew up) if you get a chance I highly recommend it..
