redelicious said:Hey Tonitis-
A few months ago my husband thought he was dying of the ebola virus. . . or West Nile. He wasn't sure. He went on the internet and convinced himself he had melenoma, so we got some moles removed. No cancer whatsoever, but the doctors were glad to take our money.
He IS a hypochondriac. I am making him go to the doctor however because I no longer have the ability to be objective where his *illnesses* are concerned - he comes up with a new one almost weekly. The next test on the list is a G.I., which is just fine by me. Whatever, get the test done and treat the problem or stop talking about it.
My husband has been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, which he WON'T treat. He went to therapy for awhile until he felt he no longer needed it.
I don't expect you to know the history because I don't think you were posting here when I was, but his issues are pretty well documented.
That and I start the new job tomorrow....can't see trying to attempt that with a hang over. tonitits said:Oh ok, I am sorry if I offended you. I just know that with all that I have dealt with the last year, I think alot of ppl thought that is was just in my head or that I was burnt out at work and just did not want to go. But in my case anyway, I definitely would not fake any of this. When I first learned of anorexia and bulimia my mom and I joked about we wish we could be anorexia for about 6 months. I know that that is a very serious disease and would not wish that on anyone and we didn't really want to have it, just wanted to be able to lose weight. But after this last year I know I could NEVER be bulimic. I hope that he will do what he has to to get better. I wish you lots of luck in this endeavor. My mom was sick alot. She was a diabetic and had some heart problems. We used to get tired of hearing about all her illnesses and aches and pains and no matter what someone else had or what they were going through, hers was always worse. It got to the point when she was REALLY, really sick, that my brother just blew it off. I would tell him, but he just thought that I was being her mouth piece until my other brother called him and told him he thought that there was something wrong with her. At that time neither of them lived near by and liked it that way. SO all the burden of taking care of her, when she needed it was on me. It was so hard. But now that she is gone I look back at those times and I think it was worth it for me. However, at the time I was exhausted and upset because I worked all night, had to come home and get my son to school, make sure she was ok. She would get bored just watching tv. She could not read anymore. She tried to be quite so I could get some sleep. But just as I would fall asleep she would fall and could not get up. I would try to get her up and usually end up calling my aunt to help me out. At the time I was very angry and upset. Not really at her, but I was so sleep deprived and I wanted to cry and did some, and want to know why is all this thrown on me! Why can't the other kids help? Why can't they relieve me at least for a few hours?
Sorry for rambling on. Hope that you have a wonderful day!
Thank you Jeff... although I'm not sure I like being an "oldie but goodie"nrcma98 said:
5. Fiesty...Way to broaden your horizons.

I hope we can catch up sometime soon... it has been too long!nrcma98 said:Okay confession time......
7. So I got the Star Wars trilogy the other day.....I SITLL haven't had time to watch it, dammit.
8. I'm 3 weeks away from my trip to FL....A weekend alone with DoS. If you don't hear from us, we swear we'll come up for air at some point.
9. I'm awfully proud of DoS for the new job and apartment. She even connected her DVD, VCR, and TV without a manual!!!I knew you could do it, babe.
10. I am planning a rather large surprise for her...I'm hoping she loves it. It is coming together rather nicely. <Insert sinister, conniving laugh>.
14. I still love my job!!! The past 7 weeks we have been FULL!!!! Not just full, but with really sick folks. Out clinical resource nurse has gone out of his way to assign me to some of the sicker patients....Demonstrating trust in my skills. I'm getting ready to take a class specific to organ donors as well as onpen heart surgical patients. I am also starting to study for my national Critical Care Registered Nurse exam. Giving myself a year (at most) in which to take and pass the damn thing. No pay raise with it....just the knowledge that i am getting better at what I do.
15. I'll admit it...I am totally bonkers for DoS.![]()

14. You are awesome at what you do, and I love hearing about your nights there. I am very proud of you.

Now that might have worked...depending on the amount of sarcasm included.nrcma98 said:Fiesty.....Would "more experienced" have worked?

I have officially named my laptop "Piece of Shit" so forgive me for not being around more or responding to everyone. I hope to have my desktop up and running by Saturday.
BTW, given your instalation talents, can you tell me how to hook up a home theater?

The move went very smoothly and we are all settled in already. It already feels like 'home' here to me and the kids seem to be adjusting just fine.
A new issue has come up with the STBX (isn't that always the case?) regarding a possible move to where my family is. After all this time and effort trying to get back there, I can't believe that I am torn about what to do. It is complicated by so many things.
My new job is going great! I am in a few weeks of training now which is very interesting. The past couple of days have been tough... discussing topics such as child abuse (physical and sexual) and domestic violence and it's effects on children. Those issues touch so many people on a personal level, myself included. Hearing 911 tapes and seeing photos has really brought up some strong emotions. This job is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, and am very passionate about.
I have officially named my laptop "Piece of Shit" so forgive me for not being around more or responding to everyone. I hope to have my desktop up and running by Saturday.
I hope you are all doing great. It is good to see new faces!It is also great to see Red posting again!
My thoughts and prayers are with Sorta and Danny.![]()
