The Mad Chatters thread Part 3

I tell ya, if it's not one thing, it's another! Hope she feels better!

Sounds like bunches of fun! We always go to craft fairs when they come to town, too. Ours isn't until a few months, though.

I love to get Fall and Christmas stuff! Plus I like to sample the breads and soups and stuff. That's how it was in Vegas, hope that's how it is here too!

Have a nice night!

Hi Tricia!

Yes, I'm still feeling bad. My stomach HURTS right now. When I do eat, I throw up, but if I don't, my tummy hurts. That's how it was when I was pregnant both times, but it's also how it was when I had an ulcer a long time ago. So it could be either one. At least I'll be finding out this week.

What's new with you today? How was Walmart yesterday?

So sorry Bonnie. I do hope it's pregnancy, though. Are you taking vitamins? You should, pregnant or no, with all that stomach trouble.

I'm home! My own computer, so nice................

Hi Denise.

Blood test is tomorrow at 11:45. My stomach is hurting SO BAD today. I threw up 3 times, but I think I have some serious stomach acid going on.

I think AR will be good this season. I like most of the people. Didn't care for the muslim guys, glad they're gone; I also don't care for the bickering couple, and like I said last night, the prosthetic-legged lady is a little tacky. So far I like everyone else.

OH, and I get off work at 4:00 each day. Wish I got off at 3:00! Lucky!

I didn't get to watch it yet. Dh DVRed it for me, though, so I'll watch it tonight......................

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Hi Paige!! Good to see you! I'm about to leave to pick up DH!

 

[paigevz]

Oh, don't worry about me; it's only a headache. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight, Bonnie. I can't wait until you find something out, and I know you can't either.

Sorry about the headache, Denise.

 

[paigevz]

Nice to see you on, Bonnie, maybe we'll catch up later?

 

[Bbgrizzle]

I also have back to school night tonight. Gotta go! Hopefully I'll catch you tonight when I get back! Bye!

Just while I'm waiting for someone to join me, I am worried about my mother. She seems really depressed. Now I know she has a lot to deal with and you'd expect some upsets, but she says she'll "never" get better and she hates being dependent on others. She's supposed to be able to use her left leg (the hip replacement) within a couple weeks, and the right (broken ankle) in about 2 months. That's a long time, but she's at the halfway point now, and at least is out of the hospital. She cries over little things...........she couldn't understand my brother on the telephone because she couldn't hear him well, and she cried. She cried because she couldn't find her pen one day. When she's not crying, she has very few moments when she's happy and visiting those who are there.............in the past, visiting with family was her greatest joy. Now, she escapes into a book or into correspondence. She only enjoyed talking with my son for a few minutes at the end of our trip this time...........other than that she pretty much ignored him...........that's COMPLETELY unlike her, her grandchildren are her life.

I think she needs a mood elevator. I told her to talk to her dr. about it, but she said he treats her like she's being a baby about stuff (not sure if it might be her perception). So I wrote a note about my concerns (the crying, not finding enjoyment in what she used to, and her hands trembling when she gets upset.........I just noticed that today when she was on the phone about their business taxes). I asked her to give the note to the dr. I hope he'll do something.

She was supposed to go to the dr. tomorrow, but they can't find transportation for her, so she is cancelling the appointment, she said. She has to have a wheelchair accessible van to get there, and there are only a few available for seniors in the area.............they can't tie it up for a day to take her and bring her home (it's 2 hours over and 2 hours back). So anyway, I don't know when she'll go.

So, should I worry that this is more than simple frustration? And what can I do besides call every day?

 

[paigevz]

And, bless your heart if you actually read my whole last post!!! I have the best DIS friends anyone could want.................

 

[Princess Mindy]

oh Poor Paige! I really hope your mom gets through this tough time. It sounds like she is extremely clinically depressed, and that can be dangerous. I would call her doctor and talk to him personally about your concerns, because he may be able to redirect his treatment routine to accomodate her depression. Its not uncommon for a person to become depressed when they lose their ability to do things for themselves, but it should not be ignored. Talk to her doctor about what could help her through this.
prayers and lots of that this will pass soon.

 

[paigevz]

Thanks, Mindy, the dr.s won't talk to me. It's the new confidentiality law. I just hope she'll take that letter when she goes, and I hope she finds a way to go.

So what are you up to lately? How's things up North? Cool up there? It was pretty cool at my parents' house in OK. Down in the 50s! We haven't had weather like that here since February.

 

[Princess Mindy]

yeah its about 50 or so up here too. Nice and brisk. I like cooler weather so its fine for me. all my cutest clothes are for fall and winter!

 

[paigevz]

I know, I hardly get to wear any nice sweaters or boots..............it's only that cold about 6 weeks, and then everyone turns the heat up SO high, that if you dress warm you'll die! I actually need lighter clothes in winter because nearly everyone keeps their heaters at 80+!

 

[Princess Mindy]

ugh. I hate it when you walk into a building and its either a freezer or a furnace. the temperature change puts my body into shock.

 

[paigevz]

Yes, and then I guess I could say I COULD wear those cute sweaters most of the year, when everyone has their ac on 60!

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

Evening chatters!

 

[Princess Mindy]

thats the ticket Paige! A little backwards, but it works

Hiya Tim hows it going this evening?

 

[paigevz]

Hello, Steph, like the cool weather? I guess most of the country is fall-ish today.

I'm home now, but took little Lucas for a woodsy walk at my parents'. We found some fallish colored sweetgum leaves.
