    Thursday, November 1, 2007

    My dad has lost a lot of weight, he's vomiting, and looks horrible.  I'm not sure if it's really the gall stone he's blaming it on or of it's the cancer doing all this to him.  Since we work together, I've been keeping close tabs with his daily ups & downs.  He's been getting worse since he changed treatments about a month and a half ago. 
    Y...

    My dad may be dying soon.  He was admitted into the hospital yesterday evening for renal failure.  He has had two dialysis treatments so far.  He told me that the cancer that has spread hasn't grown too much since he was diagnosed, but I feel he may not be telling me the truth now.  He never wants to make anyone feel sad for him. 
    I stayed in ICU with him all...

    I must be stupid.  There is something in me that refuses to believe the truth about how my dad is really doing.  My dad and my husband are my best friends... I don't know what I'd do if I lose either of them. 
    We spent the last year and a half working in the same office.  He was healthy and doing well with his treatments.  I feel guilty ... his ...

  • Memories I wish I could forget

    Saturday, March 1, 2008 | A Painful story

    After I had joined the sexual abuse support group; I realized there was so much more I wanted to say; so much more I needed to say as well. There are so many things in my early childhood that I have blocked out, and to be honest there are so much more I wish I could. Unfortantely, I have come to realize that if  I want to try & heal from my past, and if there is a slight chance I can hel...

  • Bad News, Bad Timing

    Monday, April 14, 2008 | A Painful story

    1 month ago, I noticed the 1st signs of something "off" about Tessa.  When I took her to the vet, they did a full chemistry/blood profile, checked her urine and fecal, checked heartworm, etc. and the only thing slightly off was a liver profile.  It was a hair lower than normal. 
    They wanted to recheck her in 4 weeks, unless she did not resume eating.  ...

    Well, didn't sleep again last night.  Just had to keep going over and over and over again all the stuff that went on in court yesterday.  Man, you'd think I could just turn it off.

    Well, just got back from Dentist...yep! its root canal time but can't get i...

  • Christmas Eve 2008

    Wednesday, December 24, 2008 | A Painful story

    This has been a very difficult day.  I seem to have lost my song... I want to find a place and hide from the world.. I don't seem to find any pleasure in gift giving this year. Mother always loved Christmas so very much. Of all the holidays we celebrated she always made our birthdays and Christmas extra special. My brothers and I are planning to meet at her house and celebrate ...

  • Tough night last night

    Sunday, March 1, 2009 | A Painful story

    Last night was a very difficult night. Buzzy screams out in his sleep and can't get comfortable.I have taken to sleeping on the couch to give him the room he needs to adjust his body into a comfortable position. Last night he cried from the pain.I have never seen him cry, so of course I panicked. I wanted to call an ambulance but he said he would be okay. He is so stubborn, although I can und...

PO contrast. I've not ever had so much discomfort after a CT but i guess with the hernia ( which I'll have surg...

    7/26/09
    Ray's creatinine level decreased by one tenth of a point this morning.  We were thrilled and so grateful to God.  I felt okay about going to Sumter for a few hours, so I did that....after arranging for our son and one of Ray's buddies to come spend time with him while I was away.
    When I returned at 5 pm, I found a totally different man from the one I left this morning.&nbs...
