Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2005I'm Tired
Just a whine... please forgive me. My DIL just got out of hospital (for the nth time) on Sunday. Wonder how long for this time? At least the first trimester is done now. My ex's grandmother passed away, and I'm leaving Thursday for Saskatchewan to attend the funeral. Because my schedule is tight and my son's employer may not have him in the area in time, I will likely be driving all night Thursday to pick him up and get there and all night Friday to get home. Sleep? Yeah, right. My IBS is flaring, and my i**n levels are in the toilet... still. I still have no feeling in my big toes and only partial feeling in my thumbs. One of my oldest friends is nearing the end of his days (way too soon). I've been working 12 hour days, six days a week... then coming home to look after my granddaughter. At least she's gone home for a bit now. And damn, my back hurts. There. I know my problems aren't nearly what many of you are facing. It cooled off last night so we could sleep, and I woke up this morning. Always a good thing. Sometimes it just feels so damned good to bitch. Sorry. I just have nowhere else to vent. I'm sure once I get back home and things are back to normal I'll be a much nicer person. Janet N. Janet, until that nice person shows up, just bitch away <vbeg>! Hope your DIL does well now.

Good luck with it all. I am sorry so many of your family and friends are hurting. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it.

I know how hard that can be - we stayed at Shuswap Lake the last 2 major fires (the luck of the draw with holidays).

I think that only the first morning brought a lot of smoke into town. Otherwise the wind blew it the opposite direction. It has been very windy, as this area can be, but fortunately the wind was moving away from town. As far as forest fires go, we were very lucky. I think we are getting a bit of smoke now from the Spences Bridge fire, but so far that is more like a haze. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. You have lots to vent about Janet. With luck now that your DIL is out of the first trimester things will go better. You have a lot on your plate right now. Take care on that drive. Will be thinking of you. Kelly ((((Janet)))) You have a lot going on right now...as if your own health situation weren't enough, you have to worry about someone else's _and_ take care of a small child. There is no way I work those hours and dream of being able to move at all. Whine, bitch, moan, scream and yell. You deserve to do it all. I hope things settle down for you soon. Kelly C. > Just a whine... please forgive me. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Janet N. > Just a whine... please forgive me. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Janet N. I hope and pray your DIL improves each day and can stay home. I can well imagine that your granddaughter (as much as I know you love each other) is very happy to be home. Its extra tough when the new baby takes all of Mommy's time and attention from the get go. And when all your adults are worried and extra tense. You know you can come here anytime. No one else understands the extra effort it takes us to do what only looks to them like mildly extraordinary things. Please drive safe. Find safe places to take breaks when you need them. And don't worry too much about details. The only really important thing about funerals is to be there is you can manage it. And to remember. The long drive will give you private time to do the remembering. And if you get sleepy driving, stop and sleep for a while. So you get there late. It isn't like your son's great grandmother is going to care. Jo To much on your plate right now. ((((Janet))) Hang in there just seems so lame. I'll be thinking about you. melissa >Just a whine... please forgive me. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >Janet N. Thanks so much to you all for understanding and letting me vent. I just got off a 16 hour shift, and have to get up in four hours so I can go back and finish my work. My son made it partway home, so I need to drive 7 hours to pick him up, and another 6 to get to our destination. Ugh. I'm glad I like coffee <g> I realized that next weekend I actually have no plans, so arranged to go camping and just relax for a day or two. I put the tent out in the back yard to air out... and someone took it. Good Grief! Some days it just doesn't pay to wake up. Back in a few days :-) Janet N. >Thanks so much to you all for understanding and letting me vent.

Its not worth taking the chance of falling asleep at the wheel. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it.

OOooh, I hope there is a spare angel to travel with you and guide your hands. 16 hour shifts,,, four hour sleeps and long travel do not go together. It reminds me of a truck driver that hauled Schlitz to several wholesalers that was well liked by everyone but would fall asleep at the end of his truck being loaded or in the waiting room all the time and someone would have to find him when it was time to hit the road.. I watched him do this for almost 10 years and then one day we heard that he wrecked his truck out on I-20,,,,, drove off the road into a overpass support leg or pole. It spread his load of beer all over the highway and people going by cleaned it all up. Very little was left in the trailer that had split open. He was a good man with grandchildren who like to laugh at the world and the people around him. He is missed. Harv Janet, I sure hope all turns out well for all involved. You are alwyas in my thoughts, I hope you know that. You take care.  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > Just a whine... please forgive me. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Janet N. {{{{{{{{{Janet}}}}}}}}}}}} Ah man, you have a right to whine. You made me tired just reading your life at the moment. Duckie > Just a whine... please forgive me. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Janet N. Signature_('> (_<_) _ _('< -quack (_<_) _ __('< *QUACK!* <_{__) _('< "|,,|_" (_<_) _('< "AFLAC!" (_<_) {{{{{{{{{{{Janet N}}}}}}}}}}} So sorry to hear life has been so rough as of late! Praying you get a bit of down time to renew yourself and sending prayers that your DIL starts doing better and can stay out of the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy! Hugs! Donna G |
