Iron~ma for sj!
Thanks, Laura! At least I have one more excuse to add to my list of why I'm exhausted, right?
ND, I'm so sorry about your mother, and I don't think it sounds cold in the least not to want to see her suffer.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

Our wings are not tired.
Quite a significant reason to be exhausted! I hope the treatments help quickly, sj.

I'm sorry, ND. For what it's worth, I wish the end had come a bit more quickly for my mom, too. Once all the good-byes have been said and whatever peace might need to be made has been made, lingering in a bad place doesn't do anyone much good.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am so sorry, ND. There are many here, myself included, who've been through it and are here for you.

sj, low iron is no joke. I would up in the hospital because of it. so good for you for getting treated.
ND, I know exactly how you feel. And I knew my mother felt the same way. Once she was immobilized by the strokes she couldn't wait to check out. Sad part, her mind stayed pretty sharp until the end. My dad was the opposite. As soon as she died he deteriorated mentally and his body finally gave up a year later.

I don't normally go out to dinner by myself. The Friday night of the first big holiday weekend of the year was not the best time to break that streak. Lots of couples of varying ages around. The table next to me had a couple about ten years old than me. It suddenly hit me, the decades ahead of me. There was a carnival in the parking lot across from the restaurant. He loved the lights and fireworks. And all the sympathy in the world, no matter how sincere, can stop it hurting.

{{{askye}}} I'm sorry. If you go to the ER maybe they can give you stronger anti-anxiety meds? Can you get in touch with your therapist on the weekend?

I know. I've had to have iron infusions before, but I was doing fairly well up until this point with my pregnancy because of tmi not having my period. I've been exhausted the last couple of weeks, like on the couch unable to do anything after 3 in the afternoon, but I was blaming the pregnancy and allergies.
