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.
Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Pregnancy and parenthood are both arenas where the worries can get to you. (Just ask me about my weekend, or on second thought, DON'T. Although I can see with hindsight how most of my anxieties are really based on minor complaints.)
Mainly, I'm feeling nibbled to death by ducks, and I want my life back.
Oh man, Ginger, how I wish there was a magic pill that could erase all the crappy side effects. You've dealt with so much, and with such grace. But it's well past time for the gods to stop testing you.
Ginger, I wish there was a spell or ritual to perform to give you your life back.
Cancer Patient should be a viable entry in the Occupation box on taxes.
Ginger, we are going to party like rock stars when you do. Anyone who can get to you will and we'll have satellite raves hooked up by feed. It shall be indulgent to a shameful degree and utterly undignified for people of our advanced years.
Dietician tomorrow, followed by shopping with Thessaly. Diabetic counsellor on Friday followed by Urologist at a completely different hospital.
Hey! Shopping with Thessaly! :)
Hugs all around to those that need them.
sj let people support you as much as you can.
I cancelled on therapy because I couldn't deal with the cold and the drive and crying and stuff like that. I just don't want to. My therapist called me back and made sure I was okay she wants me to get out of the house, I'm trying to figure out if going to the mailbox counts. The current temp is 22F feels like 11F.
Anyway Kristen reminded me that if I needed it she could work on getting me into a more structured outpatient program or even inpatient if that's what I needed. Which I don't think I need.
Also got a bill for nearly $400, that was for the whoopin cough test. I called and they are sending an applcation for financial assistance there's a chance they'll forgive the whole thing.
Yes, shopping will be the highlight of this week. Even if it just ends up being Bed Bath and. Beyond and Trader Joes.
Askye, thank you. Sometimes I need a reminder. I really hate asking for help from anyone but TCG or Mom.
askye, I'm sorry it's so hard right now, but I do approve of your therapist checking up on you. I know if Kristen feels like you need more structure, that it will be helpful for you. Also, I hope the financial assistance comes through.
sj, I'm so sorry everything seems fraught right now. It's good that you have a support system, and that eventually you have people to go with you or drive you to appointments. Take heart in what Laura said about the GD. From what I hear, it's pretty simple to take care of--far less hassle than the actual diagnosis. I hope that's true for you.
Ginger, I want your life back for you. I wholeheartedly support Trudy's plan, and will attend avec bells, either live or by video feed. There will be clothing, in my case, along with the bells, no worries.
Laura, man. I wish I could just hug you right now. It's just so freaking hard when they won't--or can't--listen to good advice and when they insist on doing exactly the worst thing for themselves. I wish you and your son every success at sorting this out and getting him on his feet. And giving you lots less stress.
Todd, how utterly awful--and completely predictable. I hope it gets sorted, and soon, rather than later.
Calli, it pleases me to think of spring in NC.
