Cherry, your body is not listening to you and my head is not listening to me!

I went for a short walk and its made me feel really unwell.
I feel so light headed, these damn beta blockers, i feel a bit panicky and anxious.

Still, good news, the post just arrived and i have an appointment to go get a 24 hour monitor fitted. Its on the 11th October

The weather is sunny but its feels quite fresh.

have a peaceful weekend hens : )

cherry, that 1/2 day idea sounds good...ha, wish my body would listen to me, too!!

empathy, happy for your good news!!

one of my nightmares (of several) was a body transplant!! no joke, i got to keep my eyes and brain, woke up to see my body lying there...woke up with my heart pounding. sorry if that was TMI, but it was a rough night...i went to bed at night hoping for sweet sleep - oh well.

it's overcast, but cooler here. think the rain is due tonight.

wishing all hens a good day!! cluck, cluck!!

Lol, seren, what with the nightmare thread about a baby, and you being in pain and more than likely thinking to yourself, "if only i could get a body transplant" you went and had a dream about a body transplant! That's where that's come from!
What you need to do today is think over and over of a holiday somewhere nice where your looked after and pampered! Then tonight you will dream of that! Enjoy : )

Good Lord! When I mentioned that my last thought of the day would be for everyone to wake with no pain, it wasn't my intent that anyone have transplant nightmares! Sorry, Serenity!

Empathy...be careful what you're doing with the light headedness going on. Glad you have an appt. for the monitor!

I'm so full of stress right now...I may need a valium to calm down. My new tenant takes occupancy of the apartment on Monday morning. My son's plumber made a huge goof which requires a lot of repair to a wall. He started it...did a terrible job...then never came back to do the next step. I'm being blown off like it's no big deal...they'll get to it next week!!!

I had to call my 89 year old Dad to come help. This can't wait. My oldest son is always angry at me and I should have realized he'd find a way to sabotage this project. I'm not only stressed and angry, I'm really hurt.

Empathy, do be careful like cherry said. I'm glad you finally got your appt. for the monitor!

serenity.....was it really a nightmare? I wouldn't mind having a transplant myself!

Cherry I'm so sorry your son isn't taking this serious and leaving you hanging like that! So sweet of your dad to help out though ...bless him!

I went to the library today and got a couple of books. Then treated my youngest to McDonalds. Home for the day now and plan on doing a little cleaning up and then reading tonight.

Hugs and Clucks to all,
Dix

Carly....I know what you mean about alone time. We really need the break from spouses.....my problem is that I am getting too use to mine being gone and when he comes in it's just chaos that stresses me out big time!

Linda ....hope your taking it easy and are able to get a nap in today:)

Enigma, your job just sounds so stressful sometimes! Glad you didn't hire that boy though! He should have appreciated the job when he first had a chance at it. He would always be the type to quit on no notice for a better paying job and leave you in a bind. Good for you.

Hugs all!

hello to all the hens,

cherry sorry you are going through this last minute stuff on the rental. the lack of thought on taking care of something started and not finished is just plain rude. you might need that valium before the day is over. glad your dad could help.

empathy good news on the monitor hook up. i am with the others about taking it slow until you adjust back to the beta blocker and you find out what is going on.

serenity you dream makes me think of a movie i watched recently called Coma. book by robin cook i think. that thing gave me nightmares. i hope you have a peaceful nights sleep for tonight.

dix a book and cup of tea sound good. i love going to the library.

i think i am ready for a nap if i can fall asleep.

clucks and peeps

Cherry, the weather's pretty dreary here as it won't stop raining but we can use it. I wish we would have had more when I was trying to take care of the garden. It seems like no matter how much you water a garden there is nothing compared to a good soak from the rain.

I hope your plumbing problems get worked out sooner than later. So sorry for your stress.....I hope eldest son will lighten up and go a bit easy on you. Whenever one of my girls are upset with me I always have a tendency to feel guilt and think it's all me.

Empathy, congrats on the goodnews for your monitor. Have you mention to your Dr. about the beta blockers making you feel panicky and anxious? Maybe the dosage needs to be changed. I took some once thinking it would help with my swallowing problems and they didn't have that affect on me at all.........but I still couldn't swallow. :-(

Serenity, I so hope you get a good night sleep and stop having those bad dreams. Try thinking good thoughts before you go to sleep. Read a good book and have a nice soak in the tub. Wishing you sweet dreams.

Dixie, you are so right. When you get used to not having dh around and then he is home it sooo changes the rhythm in the house. And just when things seem to be back to normal...........gone again. And often times.........welcomed. :-) I hope you are enjoying a good book right now and having "me" time.

Hippy, I saw that movie and also read the book "Coma". It was by Robin Cook and if memory serves.......which it rarely does lol.........I think he was at one time or still is - a doctor. Very creep book for sure.

Hope you had a great nap with no bad dreams.

Much love and clucks to all my favorite Hens.
