Because of circumstances mostly beyond my control (neighbor selling house to move to east coast to be closer to elderly parents) and from me no longer begging family in the U.S. for some form of communication (email, text message, even a FB message) I have become very isolated. I can't talk to Wing and Alan about it, because that leads to them ( Read more... )

And I went to my counseling session dressed as Queen Victoria, the widow years. And yes, they let me go home. I kind of staggered off to bed, and I was so wrung out, I didn't hear the purr kids' morning antics, and slept through. Wing said I was deeply asleep ( Read more... )

You'd never be caught dead in? Well, I have some like that. More like had. Been throwing them out bit by bit. Been replacing them with thing I can actually wear. And wear out in public.

Dr H suggest I go with a 60mg dose in the morning. Uhh, seeing how Dulox hammers me with nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, I made the suggest about taking 30mg in ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I saw Mr. S, the osteo surgeon who replaced my worn out right knee. The right knee replacement is great, and even though I still have some pain from the operated on compartment syndrome, all is ok with it ( Read more... )

I'm trying to get into it, I really am. But it's more stressful than cheerful. I miss being around family. I know I have Wing and Alan here, but there's Paul and the children, my cousin Mark, Marilyn and Rob... I miss my Aunt Elnore, and Uncle Al ( Read more... )

I had a good long talk to my GP regarding my upcoming MHTP. Baring's one soul and life is an exhausting process. I had Wing there, with the pre-warning to NOT take any of it personally ( Read more... )
