    How do I put this????  THE MAN IS NUTS.
    It is 4 a.m.  He has been up and down all night.  It is the Oil Man's Tournament for the Girls and Boys Club here in town.  He booked a trip with a group of 3.  He has cleaned the boat then cleaned it again.   He has got all the equipment ship shape.  He bought (I went and got them) sandwiches from Subway for them....

  • Worried again....Budder

    Monday, June 16, 2008 | An Anxious story

    She has not improved with the Rimadyl...a nsaids for dogs...although it does seem to help her pain.  She is only 8 and I am so worried.  We found a lump under her left front leg on the chest....Having worked for a vet for 4 years I know what that 'can' be...although it could be many benign things. 
    She is the dog.  You know the one that you always dream of.  The o...

    Well, I had my appt with the anesthesiologist since they are going to have to put me to sleep to do the endoscopy.  They tried to do it with conscious sedation but for some reason I had a bad reaction to it and became "combative".  Wow.  People always think I'm so gentle and nice even when I don't want to be.  I guess it took conscious sedation to bring out m...

  • Russ is in a World of PAIN!

    Sunday, August 24, 2008 | An Anxious story

    My sweetie is in so much pain from this tooth.  His jaw is all swollen.  He is on antibiotics and pain pills, but what a thing to be going on after all that COPD....It has made for a pretty awful time for us.  He is not being ugly in any way; but I know how much he is hurting and that hurts me.  Other than warm coffee and soup he wants nothing to eat.  Now remember he has...

  • Scared

    Wednesday, April 29, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I'm scared, or apprehensive, or something.
    Back in January I applied for disability, but because I only had 9 years 6 months of payments into Social Security, rather than the 10 years they require, I was warned that my application would initially be denied. However they said that they would see if I had sufficient credits in the UK which would cover my shortfall.
    Anyway, today I called about th...

    Friday, June 26, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Well, so it seems that I get my big chance to socialize tomorrow...and not just with anyone, but with people in my husband's command as it is his Command Picnic.  This is all good.  I have only met three people from his ship, one briefly in the mall, and two out on dinner occassions.  I do love to get out and meet people, especially those my husband serves with and these are th...

    Thursday, August 6, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Last night I had to go into the hospital for a sleep study. There I was expected to get some sleep while people watched me and charted my sleeping behaviors and such. But right off the bat I was presented with an experience to provoke anxiety in any person who has an inking to get out of  the place alive...
    The sleep lab had its own waiting room and there was a young man already seated on the...
