Let me tell you... dk is one VERY happy kid right now! Even with paying for her own service out of her allowance she's delighted to finally have her own phone again... and a camera phone too! I can overlook the clothes all over the house as long as she picks them up sometimes and mows the back yard for me - which she does willingly. I feel very good to share in (and be responsible for) her happiness. She's already talking about saving her allowance money to buy a 'keyboard' phone to make texting easier... but as long as it's her money, I don't care! I'm just happy that she's happy... and I don't 'need' a camera phone as I have a phone AND a camera! Silly old-fashioned me!

Finished work. Home. Depressed as whale shite on the bottom of the ocean. At least I know I can call my crisis worker if I need to. I just want to lie down and I might. I don't care if it's my holidays and I should be cavorting around on some beach - I'm tired.

I so agree with telling people how you feel and treating them well, and making amends (appropriately) while we have the chance to do so... Yesterday.. I saw my medical doc for my annual check up. I was shocked that I have lost 17 lbs. since lat year's visit. 12 lbs. in the last 4 months. Without trying, really. BP 108 over 68...zippity doo dah..he tells me I am a walking heart attack, and is surprised I haven't had one yet...could happen anytime. Not because of smoking.. he said that had very little to do with it, it is the cholesterol reading of 243. And triglycerides..I forgot that reading. He scared me. I started taking strong meds last evening..even though I didn't want to. I suppose diet and exercise alone will not do the trick..he said he would not let me leave without a script..I would have to refuse it. Yep..he scared me. I thought you had to be heavy to have high readings...sheeesh. It makes me aware, more than ever, of my own mortality. And..how important life really is..what gift it is. All of you treat yourselves well today...and take care of you!

Hey Sis my mom has high cholesterol she isn't a big lady, never was. Healthy as a horse, but her father died of a massive heart attack at 62, and he had those high triglycerides too. Keep in mind, when you take the cholesterol med, that it may affect calcium absorption. My mom was diagnosed with advanced osteo after taking the med for about a year - apparently it interferes with calcium absorption, and she needed to be taking vitamin K or something. She quit the med, and started changing her diet and exercise. She keeps it in the safe zone now. Stay healthy, young lady. Hugs. |

Sorry you are feeling depressed Ro, please don't allow yourself to stay there, I know it is hard but try to think happy thoughts. Stone, maybe pray for some guidance on the HP issue. And don't ask me who you should pray to because I only know of the spirit that I say my prayers to. You could use him though, because I know he won't mind. IO please take care of yourself honey. I don't know what my cholestrol is right now, I must get it checked next time at doctors, but now with new insurance I have to go to a lab for blood work Ugh. My pressure was high though, 110/95 I take pressure med's every day. Must check that too, I have a blood pressure arm machine here. Had a good meeting, I am very lucky to have so many meetings near me each day and night. I can pick and choose where and when I want to go. Lucky indeed. Sponsee just texted me, babbling something I couldn't make out, I just have to turn it over. Least, what a nice thing you did for dk. Kindness some how has a rippling effect. I'm glad you are both at a good place today. |

Thanks for the tip Sis!  My daughter is an RN..I just received an e mail from her, she said my readings were WHACK! and to take my meds! lol.. I'll call the nurse at Dr's office about the K supplement. You know..I was ready to do myself in the day I got clean 3 years ago...now, faced with this..I am a little frightened, and wonder at my reaction. I suppose it's normal. There is so much to live for now...a healthy life. The promises of recovery. A healthy, loving relationship someday..maybe? That would be nice. Hope you feel better today Sis.

Thanks Donna)))) Take care of you, too. He told me a stroke was possible, too. Remember what we talked about two days ago...about accept, "calming the disturbance?"..I am going to be practicing a lot of this. Thank you soooo much for quoting that...it rang through my mind again yesterday..I was truly frightened. So, see..you helped me! All things do work together...

Well I'm still hanging around tonight, wish I had my friends here to chat with. Well Nel you were up very late tonight and you're probably in La La Land right now. Stoney, if you're not here, you are sleeping too. Elizabeth, you're probably dreaming of the Soccer team, lol. Least, snuggled with those doggies of yours. Ro, I love you babes But where is Tanya, IO, Espresso, Dee, Scaredy? Probably sleeping too. |

I'm not snuggled with the doggies yet, but soon. Ck's bf is here and I don't like to go to sleep while he's here, only because my bed is in the living room and he has to pass thru it on the way out... So I feel weird going to bed while he's still here. I might tho, since he's so head over heels with ck he'd stay 24/7 if his parents allowed it! Dk is over the moon about having a phone again. Hasn't had one in months. Mentor gave her a phone but shut it off when her grades went down. So now she's in her room texting like mad, even tho she doesn't have a keyboard like on her old phone... but her old phone didn't have a camera either... and she'll gladly do the old way of texting just to have the camera phone. I am glad I just happened to have that free phone so she could have it. Now I can contact her when I need to. Not to mention the look on her face when I told her I was giving her a phone of her own! She can be a real Brat sometimes but it still makes me happy to make her smile that big!

Good grief Sher, take those meds! We must have a different way of rating cholesterol here cos mine is 6...just on the cusp of being a tiny bit high, it should be 5, lol. By the way, not wanting to die is normal...healthy even!  I have got the bad headaches back, I am gonna start nagging the new Doctor. Sorry you are still depressed Ro. Hi to everyone. :ghug
