WELL DONE DOTTIE!

Mama - so sorry you're going through a tough time sweetie - but you're tougher!

K9 - not sure if I'm bringing up the elephant in the room here, but are you and the docs convinced that Ms S is telling the whole truth and nothing but? Sorry if I'm out of line, but she wouldn't be the first teenaged girl to ...ummm....let's say 'exaggerate' some symptoms to get attention or as a way to deal with other problems.

Hey Glass
K9...I still have no answers. But I think you should try to meet with her therapist privately....
Hubs is having surgery next week to remove the rest of the cancer on his hand...they will cut and take to the pathologist, cut and take to the pathologist....continue
they told him the growth is deep and it may take all day
SOOOOOOO....I made an executive decision and have cancelled Thanksgiving...we are staying home and I am cooking......Bret needs a break.....and I am making it happen. he will be sore and cranky and I am forcing him to rest and sit in his big chair and let me spoil him. I have told both sets of parents. The boys will go help with Pop at some point in the day if needed, but I am giving my husband the day off. Call me selfish....but I don't think so...back to the pile on my desk
I love you all

NOT selfish at all. He will be sore and tired. Hopefully the margins are clear early on in the procedure. But, either way he will be sore and cranky and need to rest. Im sure he will appreciate getting the rest in his big comfy chair.

Mama - I would never call you selfish! Sounds like a good decision!

Hey there - I canceled Thanksgiving last year. Scott had just had his hernia surgery. It was just too much to try to cook and take care of him and everything. So, I think you should just worry about Bret and take the day for yourselves.

GHE - You are SO RIGHT...and I feel like I'm such a hard place...I mean, I automatically believe her, so she could easily be "playing" me....on the other hand, you hate to doubt or dicredit how they feel.

I think Mama is right, BEFORE I switch therapists I will go talk to him and see what his take is on all of this is, and how HE thinks she is doing. He told her that she can't hide from life (i.e. stay home from school) when things get hard....so now she doesn't like him. She also didn't like MY doctor because my doctor said "You don't mind cutting but you can't handle a flu shot?".... valid point, I thought!

Why can't there just be an EASY BUTTON for life??

Oh, and update...no word from Police Department...I am trying again for Dispatcher...3 full time jobs opened up and I have been eligible since 2011...

Hi everyone...... I just came back from my Cardiologist....where I had my Stress Test. Seems that I have a little problem with my ticker. I'll be going into the Hospital Dec. 5th to have a cardio check to find out about a blockage I have. Wish me luck. Tony .

Oh Sweetie - why can't there be an EASY BUTTON? :l

I just wanted to tell you this, don't know if it will help at all. I have a friend that cut/self harm. She tried to explain to me why/how it felt, etc. She said that it was like cutting let all those bad feelings out. She said she sometimes felt like she wasn't even 'aware' when she did it. I don't know exactly how to put it. I don't think that your doctor should have really put it like that. She was telling him/her about something so private and the doctor trivialized it. I don't know much about it....just what my friend shared. But, I did want to tell you.

Some of the places to harm are - bottom of feet, right by the bottom of the toes so it is in the fold (hard to see), inner thighs, right underneath the breasts. Also, inserting things into her skin......staples, paperclips, etc. Also, watch out if she is burning herself. That was another thing.

I just wanted to share what I had been told. These are things that I never even imagined and I was totally surprised.

I am sure that this is so hard for you. Thinking of you. :l:h

Pauly...Mucinex makes me heart race, so I donlt take it. My ears and throat are still a mess too, so I am going to try to go to the clinic AGAIN and get some anitbiotics
K9......I am glad you are keeping an open mind about Sierra/Adina...it is so hard to doubt our children. When Clay was coming home and telling us he was being bullied we almost laughed out loud. But it turned out ot be true.......so...I guess I am saying "trust but verify". I think the therapist will give you some good insight. they are trained professionals. I wish I could fly out there and go with you and hold you hand. Have you talked to your parents? I know how close you are, but I also know you don't want to freeak them out. And if someone over there doesn't hire you I am am deffo on my way to open up a can of whoop ass!!!!
Tony....keep us posted.....I am SO glad you had the stress test.
OLD AGE SUCKS!!!!
Pauly - whine away babe.
ok.....I am stressing coz my big mouth took on Thanksgiving dinner and I have NEVER cooked one.....I may need help!! But I am excited too.
Back to work, then get throat checked , then back to work...
LOVE YOU ALL TO PIECES
Nora....are you TTFP while you are gone? Excellent bits about cutting....scary stuff....
