My husband was supposed to have an angioplasty on his leg on the 28th of this month. He had one previously and got through it pretty go - a littlle more memory loss but he was forgetting as usual. He just had another one the other day and I didn't know that he was in the hospital. I Kept calling his cell phone and thought that maybe he was asleep and wasn't answering and...

Well I have a new disease to get used to. I went out for two days (how exhausting can it be to push on a toggle to run an electric wheelchair?) and then slept for two days. Between the MS, the Fybro, and now the Addison's all are supposed to cause fatigue and that's what happened. I am worried about getting the tooth pulled because that is surgery in a way an...1 Recommendation7 Comments

I don't know what there is to pray for anymore. I have an aquaintence on here that was in the same or more pain that I was in before I got the pump. She was so happy because I had sent her a message with Medtronic's phone numbers on it and told her to call at least on of the numbers and they would give her a doc's name that implanted it in her area. She has kid...1 Recommendation6 Comments

I was up all night and most of the morning waiting for the doc to call that was going to do the surgery on Nick's toe. The nurses finally found out what time the surgery was scheduled for - 2:00 PM. When I heard that earlier this morning I figured that they would call later and I could catch a nap. When I was sleeping the anastesialogist called and I missed the call. I...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Well I've turned into an expert sleeper. This morning the visiting nurse woke me up with a surprise visit - changing the foley which I have trying to get done through them since I left the hospital at the end of Sept. It was interesting because I had to chuck all my medicine right away including the Florinef because she was going to get a wacky reading. She did twice. ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -
This is a poem about my mother that I just wrote. I know I shouldn't send it to her no matter how badly I want her to read it, but I'm looking for help. Parts of it may not make sense to anyone (even her I think). It's about the fights that we've had. I cannot get them out of my head.I hate the way you send my mindThe way you’re always rightI hate the...1 Recommendation5 Comments

I've been dreaming about cutting everyday for a while; they say using dreams are a catalyst to relapse. I wonder when it's gonna happen. I have forty days sober, and I haven't cut myself in forty days either. That's a really long time. I still think I could use a drink. I need a blue sky holiday. Does anyone know of any cool things to do out here in Northern California? We may be ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I'm just going to go get drunk.
Ya know what happens when you get drunk?
You don't have to feel anything.
You don't have to be nervous.
You don't have to think.
You don't have to be anything, besides SHITFACED.1 Recommendation4 Comments -
Lately, I keep remembering what I was doing this time last year. My mom was suffering so much and it was so hard. It will be one year on August 25th. It would've been their 36th wedding anniversary. So much has happened since then. I am still taking an anti-depressant but am due to go to the doctor next month. I have more anxiety than I ever had in my life. I am a changed person. Little by li...1 Recommendation4 Comments
