I'm Falling Apart

[Marilyn]

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.

I'm hanging at home this morning because I have a pre-colonoscopy screening 20 miles to the south of my house at 9:15. Then, I'll decide if it's worth the 40 mile drive to work or if I'll have lunch with my daughter and come home.

Not being picky, but I didn't "lose my Mom". I must believe that she is in Heaven, with my Dad and all our family members and friends who have gone before. And, while my memory has never been great - I do have that. I am also of the belief that I will be with her again.

I'm glad that you feel free to post how you're feeling, Sandy. I think that there are several of us about the same age that feel the same way.

It's hard to get everything settled with a loved one's estate. My Dad didn't have much to settle except a few bills and what to do with his meager possesions. My biggest problem was step-nieces and nephews that said they wanted momentos but really just wanted electronics.

You know that we're here to listen any time you need an ear!!!!

We are always here for each other.
I wish you the best.
I remember years ago the DR. would put you in the hospital for a couple days and do it all, too expensive now.

I left home at 8:30 for the 9:15 appointment to pre-screen for the colonoscopy. They scheduled me for November 19th and AT 11:30 sent me for bloodwork. I decided to see if I could do the pre-op for the foot surgery (chest xray, EKG, and more bloodwork). I sat at the hospital, sat at the imaging place, and went back to the same bloodwork place. This took me six hours, going to five different places.

I have had the same bloodwork done THREE times this week, from three different doctors. Did I ask if they could share the same results - YES - and of course - they can't.

This might be a THREE margarita night!

Sandy, you've mentioned margarita's before.... I'm a beer girl, but I am just going to have to try a Margarita!!

Please try a good one! My preference (as I just had TWO) is Jose Cuervo Gold, on the rocks, no salt! I couldn't complain right now, even if I had something to complain about!
