Re: help - i need a chill pill

[Guest guest]

a,

thanks. I actually had surgery on my right wrist and the cellulitis and

tendonitis is in the left arm/hand/wrist. Today the pain is a little better

but I am back to feeling so exhausted. I feel like I am on the verge of

just totally losing it. I really just want to have a good cry but I can't

do that right now.

I fell asleep in the recliner and I was sleeping so hard that my hubby and

daughter had to wake me up to do my IV antibiotics. Nikki did the

antibiotics for me because I was just too out of it to think clearly. She

did very well, but I could tell it made her nervous. My husband had to help

me to bed because I could't even see straight. He asked me how much pain

med I had taken. I hadn't taken any more than usual, I think I was just

dopey because I am absolutely exhausted. Last night I was feeling so

stressed about everything that I just felt like I was going to lose it. My

house is a wreck. The floors are so dirty they are disgusting. The

bathrooms have not had a good cleaning since before my hand surgery (over 3

weeks ago). I did make my husband change the sheets on our bed because his

side was gross! He has oily hair and he doesn't like to take a shower at

night so you can imagine what his side of the bed looks like after a few

nights! YUK! My husband will do anything I ask him to do, but getting him

to really clean things the way they should be done is impossible. He is

just oblivious to the details! My sis cleans a few houses for extra money.

She used to do mine on a regular basis but when I retired, that was one

thing we had to cut out. However, I'm going to have her give my house a

good cleaning as soon as she is able. She can use the extra money for

Christmas and I swear at this point, I'd pay $200 just to have all the

floors cleaned, the kitchen and bathrooms really cleaned, and everything

dusted. She was going to do it last week but she has been pretty sick with

this upper respiratory crud going around. She thinks she'll be up to it by

Friday or early next week.

I had to have my mom take Bud for his knee surgery. I am just not up to

driving and I'm certainly not up to sitting around in a waiting room for

hours on end. I feel guilty, but then on the other hand, I feel too crappy

to feel guilty for long!

I thought having my daughter and fiance here would be a help, but frankly

it's only made things more stressful. Of course, Nikki getting the flu and

being sick didn't help matters any. She is a great kid, but when they are

here, there 'stuff' is all over the house and it makes me crazy! I could

never tell them that but right now I just want them to go home so I can have

my house back! Also, even though 's dog is much better, he's still

kind of a pain. He has this horrible shrill, yappy bark that I sooo hate.

My dog, KayDee, is a miniature dachshund and she does not have a small dog,

yappy bark. She's really not a noisy dog at all unless the doorbell rings.

I can tell her to hush once or twice and she stops. Samson will bark

non-stop for what feels like forever.

Okay, obviously, I am in a bitchy mood. I feel like it's PMS from hell! I

keep trying to tell myself it is me and it's just that I don't feel well,

but I'm having a hard time keeping myself from biting everyone's head off!

Nikki and have gone to register at a few stores for wedding gifts

and then they are leaving to go home this evening. I think I just need need

several days of peace and quiet and vegging out.

Hi , Sounds like a puzzle to me. What about an IV site from when you had surgery?? No crime in having a good cry. If there was I'd be serving a life sentence. As far as the tiredness goes, of course having Lupus causes that as does having an infection, but so will depression. When we are really depressed the body tends to want to just shut down for a while and 'veg out.' Also, maybe you do need a real chill pill once in a while. Sure no crime in talking to your doctor about it. And, when your Sis is done with your house, send her over here. a
