My leukemia's back.

I posted all of those nice photos of the Christmas party, then this. .......


Ended up in the ER room for myself last night. Chest pain, neck, jaw, left arm. I've had to go in before for this.. through the past few years. They can't explain it, but said to come in when it happens, just to be on the safe side. Blood work came back fine. X-ray too. I know stress plays a big part when this happens. I had that melt down last week. Go for a follow up with my Dr. on Thursday. Thinking he may up my celexa. Want ..another stress test since it's been a while. Thinking I may need it. I'm worrying so much over my husband. Wish I could be as calm as I've been able to be for other things in the past. This is the hardest thing ever though. ... Not to take away from you Phil. Ok..see your name, looking you up Phil.

Cynthia, I feel for you. Not going through it with my hubby, but seeing a dear saint in our church slipping fast. Every week we see changes, and it’s so hard. Prayers for you as you endure “the long goodbye”.

Phil, are any of those kids, that were ticking you off, still there with you? I know they make you angry, but sometimes it puts a bit of fire in the belly, and gives a break from the grief. Maybe a trip to stay with one of them, or with a friend, for a couple weeks, would benefit you. I know that doesn't exactly sound like something you even want to do right now, but seriously consider it. Having people around, even annoying ones, can help get you through the toughest time in the grief process. Due to the holidays, it's even more important to consider having people around you.

Good points.

Anger might be good.

To Phil and Cynthia!

This can be a tough time for health and loss problems for sure

@Cynthia12 - I get it. Went through this with 2 BIL and just recently SIL's mother. Even from a distance it is devastating. Take care of yourself.

I don't "do" Facebook Phil but I'm happy to be a friend here. I agree with others, find SOMETHING to get up for. ANYTHING. When my mother died in 2003 I lost pretty much all desire to do anything. But I had a job to go to and a family to take care of. That was the max effort I could put out for some time and I sure wasn't giving either 100%.

You don't have those 'required' motivations. Do you have any pets? If not have you considered getting a dog or cat? Just knowing you have to get up to care for a pet gives you a reason to get going in the morning. We have 3 cats but I think a dog would be a better choice. Cats are your BFF when they want something from you. Dogs are more socially attached. One step at a time

for you too Cynthia, you also have a hard road. I hope there is nothing physically wrong with you and that you can find a way to reduce the stress.

Thank you all..and I have to agree..pets...they make you smile. I'm a dog lover, so, may I suggest a Golden Retriever? The best!

@LittleLakePhil has a dachshund named Seven, a couple super cute ducks, and dome chickens. Not sure if he has a cat.

I think he should buy a puppy. Those keep you on your toes.

No everyone has to live in their space.... you aren't taking away from my grief all.
Im so glad my daughter is doing well.
That would be too hard to deal with.....
