I'll agree...it sucks!

And feeling bad about it is understandable!

I just hope that with some time, you'll start to feel more positive.

 

[Toot Sweet]

That's true, Mary!

I was that way Jay. When he was diagnosed, we thought positive and prayed and decided to have more time together..........we made some changes..........he got a new job so we could be together more. We took more family vacations.................

I'm sorry I'm not being that way now. I"m just not. It's just come to the point where the future isn't very pretty, and I don't want to go down that path, and I'm just being pulled down it. And I don't like it.

Paige, you don't have to be sorry...and I wasn't that way when I was diagnosed...most people aren't. And nobody has to feel the way I felt...I just learned a hard lesson...and even if that is the only silver lining that ever comes out of it...it's a valuable gift. It's nothing I would think anyone would see as a gift "in the thick of things" but coming out the other end...maybe just maybe it gives you something good to hold on to!

Right now you can kick, scream, claw, smash things, cuss up a storm...whatever. Anything you feel is fine. Give yourself that permission...that is all I ask of you tonight.

Paige the anger and frustration you are feeling is normal, and I know you don't need me to tell you that. I also know you don't want us to tell you to be positive, because all that will do is make you madder at the whole situation. It is normal for you to ask, "Why Me?" and all I can say is that you may never get an answer for that, just do the best you can to keep your kids aware of what is going on, without scaring them. I do believe honesty is the best policy, but on their level. You might be surprised your kids will help you find the positive even when you can't find it.

I am so dreading talking to Nick about it. He is an all or nothing kid. He will not deal well.

Lucas has gone to some of the appointments, so he understands all he can, at his age, I think.

Just make sure you cuss in a DIS-friendly way! We want to keep you here!

Well, good, but............some of what's in my head is not too nice. Don't want to scare you!

 

[jaycns]

Hi girls. I went in to watch TV after I signed off earlier. I fell asleep and just now woke up! That was like 5o-6:00, something like that. Guess I was tired!

"mornin'" sleepy!

 

[Toot Sweet]

Sorry, Jay...I imssed it. What were you diagnosed with?

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Well, good, but............some of what's in my head is not too nice. Don't want to scare you!

Let er rip honey, we are some pretty tough cookies around here!

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Sorry, Jay...I imssed it. What were you diagnosed with?

Me too, I wasn't going to ask, glad you did!

 

[Tiffer]

Good night all. Time to hit the hay... talk to you inthe Am.

 

[hiwaygal]

'night, Tiffer

 

[Toot Sweet]

Good night, Tiffer.

 

[jaycns]

Well, good, but............some of what's in my head is not too nice. Don't want to scare you!

Okay...this is totally off topic...but I can't get it out of my head...I keep hearing the guys from Monsters Inc saying "We scare because we care" when I read that post.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Good night all. Time to hit the hay... talk to you inthe Am.

Good Night Tiffer!
I can't believe I am still up. I had a flu shot today, and had a nap this afternoon, now I am wide awake and still DISing. What is wrong with me? Actually, I am waiting up to see if DD (Emily) is going to throw up, she wasn't feeling good before bed and apparently one of her friends has some kind of bug.

 

[paigevz]

Let er rip honey, we are some pretty tough cookies around here!

Well, I tell you what............I don't think mom better call about that party for a few days, because I'm just about to tell those people where they can stick their sodas.

I'm pissed that the dr. told us the way he did. He just came in and started asking symptom questions, so we knew, and then he just said, "Well, you have significantly more cirrhosis, so we're not seeming to be able to slow that down very well. We also have a new disease............"and he never looked up from his notes. The whole time looking at his notes. Then he throws all the statistics crap at us and then he says to dh "Do you understand what I'm telling you?" Uh, yeah, we get it..........it's bad. He's like, "I don't want to scare you but this is a significant disease"...............

 

[hiwaygal]

The biggest reason I'm still up is 'cause I don't have to work tomorrow.

 

[paigevz]

Goodnight Tiffer.

I do have to work tomorrow...............

 

[Toot Sweet]

That doctor sucks, paige. You'd think he'd have a better bedside manner. Sounds like he has a hard time delivering bad news.

Hiway, I do have to work tomorrow. That sucks!!
