I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Oh Laura, so many hugs and much support! That sounds like a helluva weekend. I hope you find the help your son needs.

And hugs to you too, sj (unless you aren't the hugging sort, of course). Good thoughts to you and the ltc.

Thanks, I'll take all the hugs I can get. I know logically that this is not the end of the world, but it is just one too many ducks for this week. I seem to have reached the stage in my pregnancy where I cry at everything. I cancelled on going to visit friends today. I just can't deal with the drive.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh I so sympathize with the weepiness! I was a mess when I was pregnant. Cried all the time. The whole GD thing really wasn't bad though, just watching my diet. Annoying, but not really burdensome.

I found all my emotions were heightened during pregnancy, so weepier, also angrier, but also sometimes more elated too.

Thanks, Laura. One of my aunt's is going to take me to my appointments on Friday. Mom is still in FL and TCG can't really take any more time off right now. I know that I should just suck it up and go alone, but I could really use the support right now.

I haven't found this to be the case. Most of my happiness is tempered by the fact that my brain won't allow myself to believe that anything is going to just go right or smoothly.

I'm sorry about your hell weekend, Laura.

sj, I hope that the diagnosis means you'll be able to move forward with more plans and fewer appointments.

My weekend involved some house painting and watching spring come to NC, which were both pleasant. (The former because money, and the latter because spring.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I know that I should just suck it up and go alone, but I could really use the support right now.

You need the support you need. I'm glad your aunt is there for you. I hope you get the answers you need, too. Hugs to you.

Ginger, is there anything special going on, or are you just getting your butt kicked by the chemicals swimming in your veins?

Laura, lots of hugs to you as well.

Many hugs to both sj and Laura. Life shouldn't be so hard, dangit.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Nothing special, WindSparrow, except that some things like the neuropathy are getting worse and side effects like random muscle pain and arthritis flares keep ambushing me. Mainly, I'm feeling nibbled to death by ducks, and I want my life back.
