good morning dixie and all who come in,

dixie, sorry about all your son's dental work. i'm glad he isn't in too much pain.

i am feeling better today, just still a little raw emotionally, but moving forward. today is payday, so i've paid my bills online and will drop off my rent check before heading out to buy some groceries and a few other things. it's supposed to storm all weekend so i don't want to have to get back out. taking my roller cart to save my back and arm.

missing empathy, too! hoping you're ok!!

good day to all!

Kim sure sorry to hear about all the work Jacob will need. Poor guy. Good you at least have the dental that will help. Also good nothing is infected. Sometime when a root canal is required infection sets in. Hope you are able to get some house things done. Mine is a mess. This week and last weekend I did minimum because I knew children would not be here next week. Hopefully we can do a deep clean. We needed last weekend to just rest.

Serenity sending healing thoughts thoughts your way. Sounds like our two days of rain is headed your way.
Dig in girl.

love to all the hens

hippy

Dixie, I had feeling that's what it was as it was pretty self explantory. :-) But I wasn't sure if it was something you were making you were making for gifts or just for your own memories of Christmas. Sounds very nice.

I'm sure you were not happy at all with the out come at the dentists. It sounds very expensive but hopefully he will not have anymore pain. We don't have any dental insurance and it can really be a pain in the pocket book. I had a root canal and cap and I remember it was around $800 but that was a while ago. I did find out that if you do the root canal and have the cap done on the same day from the same Dentist it was a little less expensive, at least it was from mine. You might want to ask. This guy did everthing there in his office instead of sending out for someone else to make the cap.

Funny coinsidence; I live in Dickinson, Texas.

Seren, hope you were able to get everything done before the storm started and taking your roller cart save you some pain in your arm and back.

hippy, I meant to reply last night about your tomato relish mixtures they sounded really nice with the jars. But it was getting late and I forgot to back to it today. I couldn't sleep anyway so I should have.

It was the longest day and night with this anxiety. I had not had a bite to eat all day and I couldn't even swallow water and I was so thirsty and kept choking when I tried. I usually have water by my bed and sip on it all night but last night I couldn't and that was a first. I just knew I was going to choke on it in my sleep and DH is at the ranch. I woke up so thirsty and hungry and instead of taking 1/2 of a Zanax I took a whole one this time and it helped a bit more. The drive to the office wasn't too bad and when I was given change at the store no one make a comment this time about why my hands were shaking. Some have even made a comment about how a family member has Parkinsons too. :-( I just tell them that I don't have Parkinsons; just anxiety and trying not to take anything.

Anyway, long story short. ha! That never happens. But as they say you have to hit rock bottom to finally do something. I finally called the Hypotherapist. When at first the nurse said they didn't think they could help me I was devastated! Seems like someone else had seeked help and it didn't work. She finally let me talk to the Dr. and I explained as best I could what was going on. He told me that hypnosist might not work but he named some big name about what he might need to do. From what I gathered it was like reprogramming my mind. He said there was another person he helped and she would never go out to dinner with friends because of that and that is exactly how it is for me. When I have to go to family functions I always sit apart from them with excuses that I always like to stand up to eat. (It's always easier to get rid of food if no one is looking. :-) Most of them know that by now.

I would love to know who that person is. I've only met one person with the same problem and we became great friends on DS. That was the main reason for joining. Seems like the problem is very rare as my friend and I tried to find anyone else who suffered from this. I looked for months to find a Hypno and they were so far away. And then my friend OLD MAN BEAR (may he RIP) told me about this guy. If it works I would give anything to be able to thank him.

My first appointment is on Thursday and I am excited and worried all at the same time. What if it doesn't work??? I have no other options. And that is one of the reasons I kept putting it off.

Again, thank you my Hen's for listening to my "short" story. Love and hugs!

I hope everyone is having a really nice evening and will enjoy a really great weekend.

hippy, hope you had a good day, too, my friend.

carly, i hope this guy is willing to try to help you and it sounds like he is. living that way is no fun for you to say the least. really hoping relief is on the way.
