Andi, it is so great that your mom got away from that beast. Throw her a party. In fact, throw everyone who knows her, including you, a party, because that is just the best thing ever.
vw, I'm not very good at telling people how much I care about them, so what I do is show up. I'm there, and I like to think that people get that, even if I can't say it. Seems to me like an awful lot of people care about you, and even if you sometimes don't think it, them being there is the best way they show you that.
Also, I was thinking of you today when I was talking to a friend who's brother had serious colitis a few years back. At one point he was on sixteen different kinds of steroids, which didn't even stop the bleeding, and he was in constant agony. Someone told him he should try smoking marijuana in the mornings, and it worked a charm - most of the pain and bleeding stopped and he could cut back on the steroids. I realise that's very much not an option for you, but I was thinking how nice it would be if you could find something like that. If anyone deserves a miracle cure, it's you.
ION...We have another storm on it's way, tonight.
And it's 7(F) degrees here right now.
Much happier-new-life~ma to your mother, WindSparrow.
Andi, lots of ~ma to your mother. I am sure it was difficult for her to make that decision, and it sounds like she made the right now.
vw, you're an amazing person who deserves only good things in life, and that is why you have so many wonderful friends.
vw, I'm back, should be here for a couple hours. What's up?
Are you on the NuvaRing? I think I remember you saying you are, but I forget.
yes I am, and I love it to bits. LOVE.
Ok...whitefonted question:
I'm supposed to go on it after my peroid ends (I have it right now). I've had a yeast infection too, but that should be clearing up around the same time. I should be ok to start it, right? Or should I call the doctor to make sure?
Andi, I meant to comment before, what a huge thing for your mom. I'm sure there are rocky waters ahead, but good on her for something that must have been incredibly difficult.
Much happier-new-life~ma to your mother, WindSparrow.
Thanks! I'm hoping she'll be happy without having a man. Unfortunately I felt at the time she took up with this guy that to a certain extent she was wanting a man, any man, because of the deep-seated, illogical, toxic shame of not having one. I hope either she will learn the lesson of being complete in herself before entering into a new relationship, or she simply will not find an unhealthy relationship to stumble into.
