Rubes, she's on Clindamycin, now. She took two, and will take one every four hours from now until the bottle is gone. I feel badly. I was dismissing her complaints because she really can be a bit of a baby. Turns out she had a legitimate complaint!

Understand completely, Fen. When things are normally overblown by people, makes it hard to recognize the real thing. Hugs to her, and a quick recovery.
Tony, our daughter came home once from college talking about getting a sorority tattoo. Hubs never moved, changed his voice tenor, but told her to go ahead. He'd take it off with a belt sander. And she knew he MEANT it.

Went to cardiologist, Valves, no big deal, but I may have irregular heartbeat. Wearing a H monitor, I have more tests sched. for next week to check for blockages. Times like these makes me very angry that my MOM is such a self centered ass who only cares about her select family members, makes me think if I were to die suddenly I hope she feels like SHIT FOR ALLLLLLLLL ETERNITY!!!!!! That she burns in HELL but not before she feels like fucking shit until she is rotting in the earth

I do not wish to sound like a big baby but I have not gotten an ounce of sympathy or praise from my parents... The lack of such from my mother hurts me the most because I KNOW THAT I WOULD NEVER TREAT EITHER of my daughters this way.. WHAT. IS WRONG WITH HER???????

Yes Fen, a Holter monitor, until tomorrow am 11:30 when I have to quick drive 45 min one way then 45 min. back before work at 1:00. Crazy morn ahead then work until 8:00 pm. Hubs is riding my ass about house work and such. He doesn't do shit around here but cook and make a mess.

Hell if there is such a women, fuck him... i'll take her too. He s such an asshole.......

Well, this is the first chance I've had to get back to you with all of the latest news.
Ashe, Chris and the kids are here with me and reports of her carrying on have been grossly exaggerated. She stopped smoking pot two months ago, wasn't doing meth and hasn't been diagnosed with bi-polar. She is still smoking but wants to give it up and although she did cut loose with the drinking for a while, she's only drinking in moderation now.
They plan on staying here for a few months at least and Ashe wants to study the Bible again and has asked Chris if he will sit in on the study and just listen so he understands what she believes and why.

I had Marcy here overnight on Friday and she admitted I had been completely right and had taken my advice to heart. I told her I had based my decisions on Bible principles, thus giving credit to God.

I am about the happiest Mish I have ever been in my entire life.

I haven't read back yet, but I will catch up and find out what you've been doing while I've been AWOL. One thing I did notice is that Coco is back. Yay Coco. I've really missed you and am thrilled to bits that you're back.

Catch you all soon...I have a bit of running around to do now.

Love and hugs.

Good Morning everyone - I think it is a colonoscopy that you are talking about Bird! Ask Fen, or Jan - they have both had one in the past year or two!!

Mish - I am SO HAPPY for you. Sounds absolutely wonderful - how great that things were so exaggerated too - all that worry for nothing but so good that it was for nothing! I am really pleased :l

Georgie - hope you are feeling a bit better today - those down deep funks are just terrible aren't they? Please let us know what the results of the Holter Monitor are though - okay?

Rubes - are you okay? I wish you would stop stressing and just enjoy! It is just me - no-one to impress! See you tomorrow!

Hi to everyone else - Grateful - how did yesterday go?

Back later, Hugs,

Sun X

G, sober horns are are a good way to vent. Stress, with any kind of heart condition, is a dangerous thing. Mine is minor, but just knowing it's there is stress enough, you don't need any more. Instead of allowing yourself to go into a depression and shut down, let your friends here help you. You are not alone, or the only one who's been in a place like you are now, and there's no judgement here. At the least we can give you pep talks. :hug:
Mish, I don't know what it is about your posts, but your emotions translate perfectly in your written word. I was seriously worried about Ashe, the drugs and partying, but as usual, actual events are nothing like the retelling of them by others, sometimes even by ourselves. I was very touched by her plan to go to Bible class, and asking Chris to come along. What a wonderful way to reach out to him! If he will do it, he can't help but pick up something that will help him, whether he becomes a believer or not. Such a positive step! And at last you have some peace in your heart. This all reminds me of the story of the prodigal son.
Birdie, as we've talked about before here, the worst part of the whole experience is the dread and the liquid dynamite you take the day before. And again, I suggest you tell them you want to be gagged so you don't talk about every inappropriate thing in the world. When my sister was still 'under the drug influence', she asked the doc to kiss it and make it better! And, it was at mine that my heart problem was documented, though I'd had a complete cardio workup the month before. Let us know when you're having it done.
T, feast or famine with work, huh? Hope you get a little rest.
Sun I actually MAY wait till tomorrow morning so I'm not so rushed.Hate not being prepared, but so many loose ends here. Hope we hear from Jan soon. I like to be packed and ready to pull out before the ATL traffic rush. I don't drive through there 6 AM-10AM, or after 2:30. I do NOT exaggerate!
Cooked a big comfort meal for Hubs last night, guaranteed to make him too full and sleepy to be a pain. :H
Fen, hope Mrs gets quick relief from her pain. Have fun on your trip! And hope the weather is sunny and warm for you.
Grateful, I'm just hoping that Sun doesn't decide to mark her territory this weekend, since you've challenged her to a room claim!! :H
