I'm Falling Apart

[Tiramisu]

I'm turning into a big complainer: I've been hobbling around on a bad foot for almost a year, and getting the "runaround" with getting it fixed. I finally got in for my yearly exam yesterday, had the pap, and am scheduled for the mammogram, colonscopy, and then the biopsy. Wish they could just lay me out and do it all at once.

I still need to go to Louisiana and settle everything up on my Mom's estate. My Sister is handling most of it and therefore not much is getting done, but she is progressing a little. We got the headstone ordered to match my Dad's. She's working with the lawyer to get the land divided and all the last bills paid. My Mom was so sick and died and I didn't get to spend enough time with her and I miss her so much.

Thinking happy thoughts: My Hubby and children are healthy. My son is home from Iraq and employed.

You are not turning into a big complainer. Sometimes when things are not going as we wish or as we think they should...we need to voice it to keep from going crazy. You've been through a lot this last year, I don't think you've complained near enough my friend.

Getting the estates settled from our parents is so hard and time consuming. We just now got hubby's step-mothers estate settled and it's been almost two years. Kind of hard to get on with life when this is always hanging over you to get done.

I'm gonna try my hardest to send happy thoughts your way. Life is good!

No Sandy, you are NOT a big complainer. I find that if I don't talk about things, I just become an obsessive worrier about them. If I can hear myself say them or say them to someone (like this forum) then I can process my thoughts better, and I don't worry so much. I find I can even forget about it from time to time.

So, keep talking, my friend, it helps!!!

THANKS for your kind and happy thoughts. My internet modem went out on Monday and I just got it exchanged today, so I'm making a rare evening visit.

It's really nice to see you in the evening! I have cable internet and my computer is in my office - so if I'm working or watching TV, I can check the forums.

Sandy, complain all you want!! We're here for you. You've been through a lot with your foot, the storm, the loss of your mom. Hopefully the future will be much brighter.

We're feeling a bit downtrodden here right now after the election. The rednecks are going out of their minds. Hope they settle down soon. It's getting very ugly.
