I'm crying from laughing so hard.     Laugh or cry..what you gonna do?   

[trimmonthelake]

I think we have medical mj up here. ? Big spliff, listen to Bob Marley all day, ja mon, that's the ticket. Get a rasta hat with the colors of the Jamacian flag. Sing " No Woman No Cry " all day and night.  Now I've made myself laff, which is good.

Sounds good Kat.

This must be melt-down MONDAY! I went to Kroger earlier for a couple of things and had the worst anxiety attack I have had in my life. I have been a basket case ever since, and have finally calmed down.

The same thing happened Saturday night when I went for some sick supplies for my son. I have had difficulties leaving home since last summer, so my son and hubby have been doing the shopping for a while. These were the first times I have gone myself in a while. It really got bad last summer around the anniversary of my sister death.

 When I went to the doctor he gave me some anxiety meds, and they only help to a point. I have gotten afraid to leave home plainly and simply. I know there is a name for it, and I believe my mama had it too, although she just didn't admit it. I don't want to end up housebound like she was.

Although I really do have head cold symtoms today, and have a little fever, this has hit me really hard since Saturday night. I know I am not the only one feeling this way, so I wanted you all to know what is really wrong with me.

My hubby and son have been very sympathetic  and helpful, I just wanted my monkey friends to know what is going on. I am going back to the doctor this week or possibly the next. My son is going to make appointments for us both when he can see his way clear on his schedule. It is time for his check up, and I won't have to go alone.

I know if I hadn't had all of you here, I don't know what I would have done. I just especially want NOROSE to know she is not alone in her feelings. I know there are others here that feel the same way.

The MP case and grinding on all of us. I cannot bring myself not to keep up.

..
I am sorry to hear about your path report. I felt like I was getting a cold the day I had the last surgery and then I got one. I have no " push " left right now. I just went to the store with my SIL with no makeup and I have no clue why I was wearing these ugly pants, they were in my closet, look like a homeless person's pants. SIL is home with a cold too and he didn't look very much better than me.  Oh here, they want everyone to get the shot, but there have been too many conflicting reports, advice and all the rest of it. I was thinking of a wearing a burka, why stop at just a mask ? My hands are almost raw from hand sanitzers. My daughter isn't coming to any more hospital festivies with me or for me. I have an older brother, that's going to be his job. He agrees and he is getting the pneumonia shot, the regular flu and the swine shot. He was going to get these shots anyway. The hospital where I will be going for treatment ( I am waiting for a call ) was a hotbed of swine flu in the spring.
I am taking clonazepam for stress. Because I don't know what else to do when I feel the nighttime anxiety. I can't work it off physically right now like I used to.
..
I keep you in my prayers Tevye. There are some cancer babes at my work who have recovered and surpassed the five year mark.

Kat, do you have to wait for treatment? Like, until they find a spot for you? That would stink! I'm so glad your brother is going to be your med buddy. I'd be lost without my sister. When I called her today and told her, I was all yelling and cussing and telling her how mad I was, and that I was gonna smoke my brains out. Total silence on her end. Then, I finally said "Are you crying?" She said yes, cos she just felt so badly for me and wanted to come over and cuss and smoke with me! I told her hell yeah, we'll just burn the joint down, maybe even have a little whiskey! Then we started laughing about it. It's hard for the people around us, I know. I have to be careful not to burden those around me too much.

Oh, and as to your fashions? Doncha think we need stickers that say "Hey, I have cancer, do you think I give a shit how I look?!" on our backs!

TEVYE & KAT, I had to go to the store for some stir fry veggies. We all decided that was the only thing that sounded good. Sorry I missed both your earlier posts. You both have such a good outlook. So pardon me while I am mad at the big C myself. 

I know how hard this is on both of you.

It is melt down Monday.I think everyone is down and out from the last few days.We all have each other though.   

[mizjay]

mizjay and Tevye thank-you very much for the advise. Everything is taken care of legally, I have power of attorney, he did say once a week he will eat at the senior citizen center uptown, which I thought was a huge deal  He is very clean and has things in order, though I do know it is dusty. The shoveling well that is pointless, he has been doing that forever, after the shoveler gets done, he goes out to finish  there are neighbors and friends that call and check in and he goes out to eat every couple of weeks with some of them. Thank-you all for the advise. 

  Here's hoping for a mild winter up that way!   My father fired up his lawn mower a couple days after the yard guys had been there "cause it rained and he would go ahead and get the new growth"  Let go and let God I guess.
Good that he has such nice friends, takes a little of the worry away for you.

Mizjay. Sorry about your mom, it must be hard to deal with older parents. I really don't know what I would do if I was in your and No Rose's position. I am a hard azz to my dad and step mom with their health and getting them to the doctor. My mom, not so much, she is pretty healthy.

JSM~  Yes, it's hard but I feel lucky that the situation has been gradual. Up until my mother got sick 2 yrs ago basically the biggest problem was hoping they didn't get ptomaine poisoning from ancient food in the fridge, but I really think they have iron stomachs from ingesting leftovers that of course would be just tooooo wasteful to throw out!
The business with my dad has a lot to do with the fact that ya know for 80+ yrs things were always the same and when she was gone all of a sudden he just didn't seem to know what to do. Sell the house, not sell? Keep all the stuff, get rid of it? Meanwhile the grass is growing, bushes blowing up and those lazy azz brothers of mine twiddling their thumbs. the men folk in my family have the "don't ask, don't want to know the answer" philosophy. Why bother to figure out a solution when waiting and doing nuttin is easier?  Answer: Bring the smarter sex into it
  Anyway, I hope it works out, he deserves a little help, it was a learning experience for him to take care of her and the house as best he could. Thankfully it seemed like a "meant to be" thing that I was injured on the job, was off work for quite a while and could go back and forth to help. It was helped along by some guardian angel or something because I'm sure that I would've quit my job to be there for them so........... a big thank you to God.
It's a reality that most of us will face at some point, but you being one of the young chiks here get's to see some of the dilemmas and maybe solutions before you might come up against any of this. That's a positive thing, I wished I'd read a few of those things about aging parents before. 

[trimmonthelake]

Fanny,this week is the 2 yr anniversary of losing baby Aiden,so I get what you mean about the anxiety.We'll work through it. 

[Tevye]

Tevye, roll a couple of doobies, I'll be right over, just make sure you have some extra apple pie 

I guess I'll have to check into my state's medical mary jane laws.....LOL! for now, tho, I'll just get wasted on ciggys! Oh, and there's another apple pie in the kitchen...that seems to be folks favorite "feed the sick" dish, and I am SO good with that!!!

Its good to laugh and you made me laugh too.

[Fanny Mae]

Thank you TRIMM. I know we will. That is why I trusted telling everyone just what is really up. I guess you can't be superwoman forever. It finally catches up with you. 

[Tevye]

Tevye, I am really mad and sad right now for you. I have heard smoking may cause cancer, but I have a friend that smoked through her treatments because that and Margaritas got her through it. If that is what it takes to get you through this, have a ciggie.

Also know, we are hear for you!! Except that d*mn CC, he hasn't been here all day long. 

Thanks, JSM, I'm so glad I have this thread to vent in. However, I think I made CC sad last week, and I hope he's not staying away because of that. We all need his wicked sense of humour, and his mad photoshop skills.

I'd be lost without my monkeys!!!!!!!

[mizjay]

It took me so long to type my last comment ( never could apply myself in school) that I'm way behind on current topic but
                                            to all my monkeys

[ScareyCarrie]

Hope everyone is doin well today i am about to have a melt down

SCAREY, Hang in there. Monday will be over in a few hours. Is Munkey Munk there with you  today? 

Yep we are both here, both have migranes and both about to kick her husbands a$$!!!

I go to dr tmrw and hopefully she will give me the meds i want, she thinks i need some spendy head scan, what does she know!

Fanny, do you go out at all? Like to church or visiting? Is it special situations (I know I'd be a better shopper if they would just let me bring my Smith & Wesson in with me!) or just "not being home" that seems to trigger the anxiety? Maybe if you did limited runs, it would be easier on you. Sort of "aversion therapy". Unless, of course, your whole reason for staying home is just so you can be with your monkeys. Now we're talking trouble, hunny!

I feel the same way about this place.
My mum had agoriphobia, I think. She just thought she was from another planet. It was a fun house some days when I was growing up I'll tell ya.  There was no help for it in those days. Later in her life, she was treated with Lorazepam. And then Paxil. We had to make her leave the house some times. Escort her. Once she got past the hurdle of leaving the house without dropping down dead, she was ok and we would always have to talk to her and remind her of times she did get thru it.
My Dad didn't get it and never did. He was a very social man and a good guy, but when she was in one of the phases of it, he would get just mad.
My poor Mum suffered with it with no treatments for many years. I was older and out of the house when she started telling me about her panic attacks.There are drugs and there is also talk therapy. Your family support is probably going to be the best support you can have, Fanny.

Knowing CC, He is probably one of the ones with the hangover that didn't go to work today.
