In this house, built in 1840, huge timbers, we go to the center hall and into the closet under the stairs. We built a cellar next door in MIL's house. Son's house is on a slab, so he drives over here. Daughter lives in Gainesville, where they had a catastrophic tornado in the '40's. She has a basement. We built our cabin basement into solid rock, since we'd been hit there twice!

Then I'll have to wear a 24hr holster thingy to monitor it. If I can't get it down by drinking less, with any luck it'll be as easy a fix as taking beta blockers. Will have to wait and see. All those years of heavy drinking were bound to take their toll somewhere though.

I haven't fessed up to the Doc by the way... Can't quite bring myself to say the words...

Zen, it's a Holter Monitor. Been there, done that. I have an arrythmia, not caused by drinking (genetic) but certainly exacerbated.

Look, Z, I had become a hermit. My family had facilitated it. I live in a remoted area, they brought me anything I wanted or needed, I stayed here and drank. Once I left the house, it was refreshing. I had to dress, put on a people face, and I started to like the interaction (from the grocery boys) again! It DOES make a difference. It doesn't count if your going to the same place to see the same people each day.

He sleeps in the spare room and he brings me anything I need also so I don't need to disrupt my drunkeness. I think he likes it that way. Guys, when I said earlier that someone was taking advantage and I left them spluttering on the phone last night, it was him.

I haven't talked to him since last night. Feck him. He knew what he was doing. It hurt my feelings when it dawned on me yesterday. He likes having me in the spot I'm in - it's handy for him.

I think thats quite common Zen, they dont always like it when we change and become less dependent....
