Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 They are all so angry and yet it doesn't matter if he killed himself or walked out on her, they'd all gang-up and be angry at him for what he did to her- KWIM? _______________________ Definitely. How I failed Yeti. Funny thing is, she's the infant and now I'm the adult. _______________________ I just feel sad for a life that is lost, can't be replaced, the utter despair he must have felt not only living w/nada but probably for a long time since he had a nada of his own. ________________________ We've all known that feeling. Awful isn't it. No wonder he wanted to flee. He didn't see that fleeing that way was misguided, which is a bit tragic. All he needed to do was just ... flee.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Kerrie, good luck with your family whatever you decide. Your perspective on this sounds very stable and firm, although I know you are very upset. It's good to see that your not allowing this to make you vulnerable to the FOO. I know what you mean about being the one to say, " there's something wrong here, this is not healthy " and no one listens to you. My FOO has started to just not tell me what their recent disasters are because I've told them so many times, it's like why bother. If something like this were to happen in my FOO, I'd be sad and angry like you--and I'd be especially angry because I've seen something about to hit the fan for a long time, but the FOO just keeps making excuses. It's so frustrating isn't it. It must be very hard to deal with. It seems unfair for BPD to effect someone you care about enough to make them comit suicide. I think it just goes to show how hard it is for anyone to handle this kind of situation and how easy it is not to come out happy and healthy. I'm glad that you have managed to do this for you and your family. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hi Lyn, I know that what you are going through is upsetting. My father gets really out of whack when he goes to the hospital...something about the unfamiliar environment... You will not be able to " rationally talk some sense " into her...it is just the nature of the beast. When I shifted gears to focus on compassionate care and safety concerns, it helped me find some acceptance and peace of mind. My heart goes out to you and your husband.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I will be sending peaceful, healing and soothing thoughts out to everyone.....I feel now that I as I let go of my fears and worries about my step mom, I have a stronger outlook....or maybe it's easier to focus on others. At any rate....I hope everyone is able to get through all the trying times. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi Meg, Sorry to hear that the dreaded cdiff is back. What a nightmare. Is the doctor prescribing antibiotics again? My dad currently has the gastrointestinal virus which is going around. It is amazing to see the decline from the slightest infection. I knew he was coming down with it 24 hours before it started, just based on how he was changing mentally. In addition to tiredness, he also is weak, uncoordinated and has trouble swallowing when he is tired/weak. Hopefully will improve (including the swallowing) if they can get the cdiff under control. Hang in there...I hope things improve for you both soon. Daughter of Bill, 91 > > my husband who had the C.Diff now has continuous diarrhea > again..

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Penny, I am sure the time hasn't gone as fast for you as it seems to have gone for me. I remember when you were counting in the single digit weeks. You should be done around Thanksgiving, right. You won't have to look too far for something to be thankful for. I wonder if the earlier you don't show a hepc in your body is an indication of it being less apt to return. Hoping that is true for you.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Penny  I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!! Thanks be to God for he creates our tomorrows Love, Lyncia   Subject: Update To: livercirrhosissupport Date: Monday, August 17, 2009, 11:46 PM  I'm getting close to being done with the Peginterferon and Ribavirin treatment for the Hepatitis C. I have 14 weeks to go. As I've told you all before, I was undetectable after only 6 days on treatment. The lab has been doing the viral load test that only goes down to 50, though, so they weren't totally sure that I was completely undetectable. My post transplant coordinator has been trying to get my local lab to do a different test that can tell if there is any virus left in the blood or not, but they were always too confused and didn't understand that it was a different test. They finally took the test last Monday, and I got the results today. There isn't any Hep C virus detectable in my blood at all. Yay! Hopefully, it will stay that way when I stop treatment, and especially six months after I stop. The farther out from treatment being undetectable, the better chance there is that it won't come back. I still get the shot of Aranesp every week to keep my red blood cell counts up, and since they lowered my dose of Ribavirin, my counts have gradually gone up enough so I'm not as tired or out of breath. They are starting to fall a bit again, but we'll see how they are next week. At least I haven't had to get anymore blood transfusions, and I should be able to get through the last few weeks I have left without another one. In 14 weeks when I'm done, I will still have to take the Ribavirin for a while since I'm on such a low dose, and I will have to continue to get the shots of Aranesp until I stop taking the pills, but I'll be done with the Peginterferon injections. The injections I don't mind since they have never given me any trouble, except when the needles were hard to get through the skin there for a while. Actually, every time I give myself the shot, it makes me feel better, healthier, stronger. My new liver is doing great, thank goodness. It's been 1 year and 7-1/2 months since my transplant. I'm amazed every time I see my AST and ALT in the normal range in the 20's, which it has been for a while now, but it just amazes me when I see it since mine were always so high for years before my transplant. I hope everyone is doing well. Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, the earlier treatment shows no virus in the blood, the better chance of it staying gone too, like you said. They didn't detect a viral count after only six days on treatment, so that was a good sign right away. The time actually has gone pretty fast, and it won't be much longer. My last shot will be on November 24, I think. Penny > > > I'm getting close to being done with the Peginterferon and Ribavirin > > treatment for the Hepatitis C. I have 14 weeks to go.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Kimberlee  All sounds like a good solid plan and one I kind of fallowed for a time that seamed to work to get me some what feeling so called normal again just not back to workable.   now as for the race well I was going to say park the V on the drive surround it with flat panels and climb on up there you would almost have a better seat there if you were there in person but you may get dizzy snapping your head to and fro trying to get in every view from every channel surrounding you LOL  but there is nothing like the roar of a motor and scream of tiers early in the morning to get ones blood pumping well that is unless your the one behind the wheel of say a few thousand horses and the willing spirit to cover a 1/4 mile in under 5 seconds . but then again making nothing but mainly left turns can be fun also as long as you keep the rest behind you so they stay out of your way and the peddle is buried to the floor. O yes I am a gear head from long a go and yes I did get to drive a top fuel funny car for a bit also talk about an adrenalin rush waaa hooo! Never did the Roundy Roundy my self but had some friends that did and enjoyed watching them but sadly our old track is long gone now. At one time it was one of the best for setting records in the country. It was called Baylands race way and before that Fremontdrag strip. They had drag dirt motocross and for the none racing next door was a sail plane air port. What a place to grow up as a motor head. but the two we had the old sears point track not to far away also but when the big boys from NASCAR came there it was a bit boring as not many places to do any passing there . Kind of still that way. wish Bakersfield was still around as that’s not to far away but then to SSDI kind of killed my racing both doing and going to watch so enjoy your day and family as what there giving you is very special.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Amy  hope things settle down for you and it all works out and that this med is you wonder drug.  as for gas prices and food well were all in the same boat as you. I just do not know how so many of you can deal with Stills and still work. tried it did not like it and my stills hated it and let me know that so I gave it up but that came with its own problems . so on one hand you have work and the problems of doing that and on the other on you have giving up work and its problems nether one is fun both are hard and both let you live just with changes and adjustments each different from each other . I call it the balance act with the stills and our health being the tool that we use to keep our balance. hugs  The  Redneck  Marty G      I watch the sands of time run threw the hour glass of my life knowing I can not change what has passed. All I can do is live for today and hope for tomorrow and that it's a better day then the one I am leavening here today As I move into the one filled with hope that’s called tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi Amy, Thank you for letting us know how you're getting along these days. I'm glad you got started on medication, now we'll just hope it works for you. At one point my heart used to race terribly and my doctor told me to drink lots of water. Maybe you could ask your doctor if that would help any? I hope things get better soon for you. I will continue to think of you. Smiles to you, To: stillsdisease From: blackbear109@...
