Hi friends, I'm feeling frustrated right now and need to vent alittle. Thus far this year - I lost my little nephew Robby - I lost Sonny - I lost my little superman Tazzie - 2 days after Robby's funeral we got a phone call from his mom and she said that one of the other sisters have 3-12 months to live because of cancer. (This sister helped take care of Robby because he was severely handicapped.) - Robby's mom has had 2 surgeries and right now she is in the hospital with MULTIPLE blood clots in both lungs. She needs a blood transfusion but I don't think she's going to let them do it. She won't eat since she throws up when she does and frankly since Robby passed she really doesn't care if she's here or not. - My husband now has 3 blown disks and since we're in a lawsuit with his employers. We're supposed to use only their doctors and their doctors said it was just a strain go back to work. MRI says 3 blown disks. My brother-in-law fell off the train he was working on and now he's disabled. We have been fighting with the private insurance to make sure Richards wages are still covered. They want more doctors but as I said before we're only supposed to use certain ones. We have been battling these guys since January. We have been in the lawsuit since 1997 and they pressure us daily. - We have 11 insulinomic surgeries coming up 8 adrenal surgeries and now have 6 confirmed lympho's - And to top this all off, today I'm supposed to baby-sit my granddaughter since it's Wednesday but instead her stupid parents decided to send her to kindergarten. Can you imagine LOL. AND they refuse to give us another grandchild to baby-sit on wednesdays, they tell me to have my own if I want one on wednesdays so badly. I'll be 41 in 2 months and I'm a good 50 pounds overweight. Can you see me trying to keep up with a baby, 16 ferrets, 20 dogs and 6 cats LOL?!!! Here's some good news: We adopted out the last of the Chinchilla's, 3 kittens and I think within the next month we will be adopting out 10 of the Shih Tzu puppies. We have gotten 6 of them fixed so far and have 4 to do next week. AND my baby went to kindergarten so she could learn to read to me! Thanks for letting me vent! As bad as things get I know they can always get alot worse. Sometimes it just seems overwhelming. Lois Missing 8 Hugging 16 [Posted in FML issue 3889]
