  • What to do?

    Friday, June 13, 2008 | A Painful story

    I feel awful. I know I'm depressed. My wife says since my bout with encephalitis my personality has changed. She does not feel emotionally attached to me. I feel awful. She is my life. I don't feel  like I can explain that to her. I feel rejected. Everyone on the support group web sites tell me how amazing I am, but she doesn't see it. She's the one who counts. I hide my feel...

  • Now I know why I feel like a 200 year old person when--

    Tuesday, June 24, 2008 | A Painful story

    0Well I know now why I hurt sooo much lately.  It's the Fibro which is full blown now!!  I can't get a full nights sleep because of my cat.  She starts screaming from 6AM (when my Mother gets up and comes downstairs - that cat has a clock in her head because she sits there waiting for her and when my Mom eats she eats) all morning long until I wake up and then she sort of s...

  • Sharp pains today because of the weather and lung infection!!

    Sunday, September 28, 2008 | A Painful story

  • Tangie is sick because I didn't get refills on her medicine.

    Sunday, October 12, 2008 | A Painful story

    I am upset right now because Tangie is going down hill because I didn't get her medicines for her and I just started noticing the difference in the last couple of days.  She is very lethargic and verbal which means she is in pain.  I have the cab company coming to pick up a check plus the other stuff they need to go to the store and pick up her stuff.  We have a pet smart here ...
