I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

    Ugh...
    I don't like talking about certain things on the internet, but here goes.
    Ever since he was shot, my husband and I cannot sleep together.  After all the surgeries, and stopping smoking, and him having to sleep with his leg strung up in the air from Dec. 1990 to May 1991, he developed worse snoring, and some sleep myoclonus.  The latter, he nearly...

    Dear Dad
    I love you Dad but I don't love the fact that you drink and it didn't help our family.
