Anxious Stories

  • Daddy continues to fade

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | An Anxious story

    July 23, 2008 -- I spent the weekend with my parents and Daddy has failed a lot since I was there last. He is under hospice care which appears to be good but he does not like having to depend on others and Mama does not like having people in her house.  So it was a stressful weekend.
    Since nobody reads this, I will leave it there.

    I went to My PCP and had my labs done. She prescibed me some anti-axiety medication for the next couple of weeks.
    The only thing I'm concerned is that they will cause my hair to fall out even more. Adding to my stress.
    I took one and it knocked me...
