About Me
I lost my brother last August to cancer and my Mother this August from a heart attack. My Dad also had a stroke after my brother passed away. I am having a very hard time dealing with all of this grief. P.S- Now my sweet Aunt passed away from lung cancer. ...I have now lost my sweet kitty who died on May 17th of Kidney failure. She was almost 16 years old and I had her since she was a baby. She lived a good long life. My other baby boy kitty and I are missing her so much. My husband does too but he doesn't know how to show it like we do. I am hoping there will not be so much death or tragedy in my life for a good long while. I know it its inevitable but it's getting to the point where I am use to it and I don't like this feeling. It is no less sad. It's just... numb.

I LOVE animals. They are our angels on earth. I like singing, anything interesting that I can learn, LOVE, family and good friends, nature, and I like writing but I can barely finish anything I write. Reading. The Beach! Oh and I LOVE movies.

I’m With You
I've been on Oxycodone for almost 2 yrs. and it is because, unlike other times after any one of my 39 surgeries (I'm a paraplegic from a car wreck) This time I ust haven't had the discipline to not take the pill when I hurt or either my mood is low or my husband and I fight. I can't give it to him to dole out to me because I don't trust him anymore. I never took methadone but I hear that it is no diff. than morphine. But I have been told that I get addicted so quickly because I have had it so often. I would say take it for no more than 3 weeks and taper off if you cannot quick cold turkey and the pain will generally get better. I am convinced that pain starts in one place and then it becomes a lie..so that when you quit taking the drug the pai subsides. I've been through that but I "feel better with my oxycodone". Yeah, right! But I just learned about dl-pa dl-phenylalanine (not if you're pregnant!!) for a mood lifter. THis is going do help me immensly I hope. I just ordered some Bluebonnet brand 500mg. off of iherb.com

Another little baby adopted...that's great! :>) Good for you! Your little baby is so lucky! So sorry about your back pain, tho...
Basically feeling like I've lost my "smart" karma, but I keep getting told that there are lessons from that...so, I'm trying not to "wall" myself off from "listening"...but, I have to admit, I'm getting pretty sick of keeping my "radar" up all of the time, waiting for those messages to come through! :>0 The rest of the "worry list" continues, unabated, but--no--like you, I've avoided the cliff...would like to get up close and personal with the cliff to see what it's made of, though...any gold in there, y'think? Take care & God Bless! :>)-
