Hi Dawn!

Your story about Marlee reminded me of something that happened when I was a school counselor. I had a 5 year old in one of the Kindergarten classes that was always getting into something. One day he put a knife (who knows where he got it!) in the electric socket in the restroom. The whole school went black when he shorted out the system! He had the teachers all stressed out over his escapades!

Vickie

You're such a sweetie, Lynn. I don't expect any of you to help me....I just

like to vent. What's new, eh?? LOL. Kirk knows that we're behind, but he

doesn't really want to know how behind. Does that make sense?? Things could

be worse, but it still puts a big knot in my stomach. I'll talk to him

tonight. OMG, I had the scariest thing happen yesterday! The girls were in

the living room playing school and I was sitting very close to them on the

couch, doing my cross-stitching. Well, before I know it, everything goes

black and I see sparks fly from one of the electrical outlets where Marlee

was sitting. Apparently she stuck her little metal diary keys in the

outlet!!!!!!!!! THANK GOD she wasn't hurt one bit. I picked the keys up and

they were so hot that I dropped them and the tips of them were burnt black.

She cried so hard and kept saying how sorry she was and that she didn't know,

all the while I was rocking her in my arms. I was shaking so badly for about

2 hours at just the mere thought of what could have happened. God was surely

watching over her.

Feel free to vent anytime you need to, Vickie. That's what's so great

about this group. Even when we don't feel able to turn to our friends

or family, the rest of us are always here to lean on. I'm sorry you're

still feeling so crummy. Seems to me you should be feeling better by

now. Have you mentioned this to your Dr. since you've been taking

IVIg? I too am really fretting about $$. I worked out a budget and we

were doing pretty good at following it, until I landed in the hospital

(which coincided with Christmas) and ever since, we're doing TERRIBLY

with our finances. Well, we're a month behind on all our bills and have

yet to pay Jan. rent. I'm really beginning to panic and I'm too scared

to tell hubby. I'm hoping he can get some $$ from his mom again.

Anyway, I definately know where you're coming from. As for the house

and the rest, don't fret. It will still be there when you are feeling

better (unfortunately). Actually, when I start getting my disability, I

want to have someone come in to clean for me just a few hours a week. I

think that would lighten the load somewhat. I love to cook, but can't

stand the cleaning part.

I think I will call my doctor tomorrow and see if anything needs to be done. Last September I remember talking to her because my potassium and salt levels were getting messed up (that was before I was diagnosed) and she was monitoring it for awhile, but I haven't been to my regular doctor since.

Good idea! Especially since you are on the IVIg now. The IVIg will pull that stuff out of your body. My potassium levels are normal as of last labs (last week) and that is on a supplement.

I'm on 2 antidepressants--Prozac, 60 mg, and Trazedone 150 mg. first in the morning and 2nd at night. I don't know if I am depressed. I want to do things and enjoy when I can do things. I think it is more stress than depression. I guess we shall see if it continues. \

That seems like a lot of medicine. Maybe you need a change in your anti-depressant. Maybe you have become immune to it.....

Geesh, hard enough to stay calm about the bills, without them charging you twice!

They said that they credited my account today but it wans't posted yet so hopefully by tomorrow. Also, they said that if I incurred any bounced check fees from it, they will pay for them.

I will figure out something to do about the money. Hubby just stresses

out too much and it gets me going.

We used to have a hard time with the finances too when hubby paid bills......he would curse and swear the whole time he was paying them. When we went to counseling, the counselor made him agree to pay them when he was home alone or to turn the finances over to me and not to ask questions. So when I left my job, I took over the bills and paperwork. Things have been a lot less stressful!! LOL.

I think you are right about family and friends. They see me move around ok one time and the next time I can't do something and they wonder what is going on. And it is so hard for me to ask people to do things. I hate to impose and I hate being dependent.

It is hard for me to ask people for help too. Not to mention, I am a 'tad' stubborn (no comments from the queen of stubborn, miss vicki!) but I was always independent, was raised to do things for yourself rather than impose on people and to help people other than ourselves.....I had to realize that I had to let some of those people start helping me. I still hate asking though.

I know I just need to be more patient and wait for the meds to start working. I really appreciate your being here!

Your meds should start working soon......I don't mind being here at all. I think we are due for another lunch, eh??? Maybe you girls can come to my house for a lunch sometime....

I am tired, but I am feeling more determined to get some stuff done around here. My muscles aren't burning too bad today, so that helps. I'm trying to let go of the stress and just have faith that things will work out. That's what I need to do too--just take things one day at a time! I have everything I need to do what I am doing now, so for that I am grateful!

Vickie

Hi Vickie!

I'm doing one day at a time, and try not to worry

about it. Hard, tho, y'know?

How are you doing tonight? Staying warm and relaxing?

I don't know what I do with my time, but somehow I never got around to calling the doctor for an appt, so I will have to do it tomorrow. I get so distracted. Start on one thing and next thing I know I am doing something else I hadn't planned on.

I have a real problem with depression, so I am afraid to mess with what is working for me now. I really don't think I am depressed. I am angry about having this disease, and stressed about finances, but also have hope that things will get better eventually. I could use a lot more patience, but oh, well.

My hubby and I used to fight over the bills and that is why I do them now. Normally he doesn't think about them but he is getting worried with me being out of work so long. We just got into it again tonight. I just told him don't worry about it--it is under control. It isn't under control, but it isn't the end of the world either. We are still current on our bills and that is the main thing!

I guess I really worried my sister-in-law yesterday. She talked to my daughter to make sure I was ok. I was just happy to get out and do something!

Lunch sounds great! I have a friend that would be willing to drive me down to your house! When would you like to get together? It would have to be after the weekend!

I hope these meds kick in soon. I would be happy if I could walk 100 feet without muscle spasms....is that too much to ask?

My sister in law has endometriosis and pcos. She has never been able

to have children. She has done foster care and has been hurt many

times. I was talking to her this weekend and she said that when she

goes for so long without having a period that they just do a d&c.

This really bothered me. I know that I do not know a lot about this

problem but is this a common practice. I just kept thinking. No

wonder she can not get pregnant. She is probably scarred. Does anyone

know about this. thanks for your help
