I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Now I just have excess rage energy running though me with no outlet. Nothing online is holding my interest.

Because books.

Maybe try turning your brain off for a little white with Candy Crush or stacking cats or something? I'm sorry you're so frustrated.

I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope he figures it out and soon.

msbelle, I have excess depressed energy. Lets trade.

I did manage to make a salad. But damn my wrist hurts. I think I will take some of my oxy (thank god I have some) and/or sleeping pill until morning but then. I have to work again.

I feel like just when I was starting to have this broken ankle thing down, I get shit on again and life gets harder

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm sorry, meara. That is so incredibly frustrating. I hope you can get some good rest tonight.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Snowy/icy/slushy sidewalks added a whole new level to the tendonitis-in-the-ankle thing this morning. Oof.

That's so enervating. Even a bad sprain hurts a ton so even if it isn't broken it's a lot to deal with.

At this point in your recovery you've used up a lot of your emotional resources so it's understandable that you're feeling low. Do what you can to save energy for yourself, and lay low and keep it simple for a bit.

Oh goodness. Just caught up in here, and my heart is hurting for so many of you. Many hugs to those who want them and warm wishes to those who don't.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh msbelle, I do so hope you get through to him. DH has a lot of success with mentoring kids with far more major issues than Mac or my kids, but they at least have a passion (basketball) that he can work with. When Brendon was younger I could bribe him with Pokemon cards and video games to keep him in line, but by high school he was unbribable. No amount of logic, threat, bribe, or begging would work. Unless they have something they want in life more than being left alone to do nothing it is really hard to motivate. I hope your emails get through to him. I still do that all the time with mine in the hope that at some level it is heard.

Meara! I am so sorry. That is so frustrating. Having to compensate with the wrists for your ankle, and then being down a wrist has to be very difficult. David is right, you need to try and keep it as simple as possible for a bit because your body uses a huge amount of your resources on the healing and doesn't have a lot left over.

Aurelia, and the rest of you with icy slippery stuff, please be careful. We don't want any broken butts!

Zoe gobbled down her dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Still very slow going, but now she is recovering from the abuse at the vet's and on medications. Next is getting an echo done to see what condition her heart is in.
