Just wanted to say I broke it off with my one time finance/boyfriend last night. What a relief. I think these health thingies I have going on was wearing on him and even though he didn't want to "desert" me, it was better for him to leave. Now I can relax and destress....not having to stress about what mood, how much I will be irritated and bothered when he got home.
Wow, it is a relief. I have told him alot of times over the 3.5 years when we realized something was going very wrong with me, that he didn't have to stay...be involved,,,,etc.... so now I am free to be me, whether that is on a good day or bad.
I still have 3 doggies to give me comfort and they are non-judgemental about my health on any given day.
I hope everyone has a good day today.
P.S.
My creatinine test was normal and so I have my MRI with contrast on Sat.
I hope this time something will be definate,,,whether yes or no....it's something else. for sure for sure.

Oh Geri, I'm so sorry ...that must be just awful, after 3 and 1/2 years. You did the right thing, for you, of course, but that doesn't make the breakup easier.

Take a deep breath, hug your doggies, a lot and try not to stress out. I am here for you..

I say, Good For You, Geri! It's hard to do the deed but, it's much harder to stay in a bad situation for an indefinite period. You'll be better for the wear and come back shining in no time.

Good for you Geri. It is hard to back out of a relationship, but when you make up your mind to do it and feel good about the decision, it is a load off your mind, body, and spirit!

You are stronger than you think. And will be stronger each day.

Thank you Sally, how very nice to respond even though you have had such a loss. I was sorry to hear about your brother.
I had a brother I was closest to who passed several years ago. I miss him lots, but I hope he is in a better place where the illnesses are gone. This brother tried to look out for his little sis even though we were not raised together after ages 5/6yrs old.
My whole life just opened up in front of me. My son is almost 22 yrs old and is finally getting his life on track. Now I can concentrate on trying to find out what is really wrong here and feeling better. Workwise I could transfer to a different state if I want, so.... I don't know where I will go or what I will do, but I have lots of choices and opportunities also some very good friends and I can survive, so I will be fine and happy whereever I am even if I am ill.
Thankyou for being so caring, and I hope YOUR days get better.
Geri

And a big Thank you to everyone else also.
Other than some anxiety issues, I'm doing ok.
I went home at lunch and he had gotten most of his and his boy's things from my house, so less to worry about.
Have a good day. Sunny and 60 here in mid Ill.

Awww --- I'm so sorry, but happy too, for you Geri. It's tough breaking up after a long relationship, but probably a lot less stress in the long run. Yep, those furbabies give their unconditional love no matter what!

Let us know how your MRI goes!

Take care.......

Geri
Just wanted to say how proud I am of you for breaking off the relationship. I just did that myself in Sept, and moved across country to boot.

It was absolutely the best for my mental health. The physical is still limping along. I wish you good results on your mri and a diagnosis of something too!

Feel free to PM me, if you'd like to compare war stories or whatever.

Hugs

Geri,

I understand the situation you and your fiancee found yourself and it certainly wasn't easy for both of you. When MS is involved there is such high percentage of break-ups with couples. As painful as I'm sure it was, you did the right thing under the circumstances.

My wife who had MS and I were married for just over 32 years when she passed away this September. I was aware she had MS before we got married and although we had some difficult times, we managed to stick together for all that time. I wish you the best of health and luck in the coming years.

Good morning everyone. Had a good night with puppies, they were wild this morning. Running around and having fun. Wren is a fawn Dobbie and the Jaxx is a JRT. Both are under a year old. He took the Black,Blue, and the other Fawn(all Dobbies, we raised them) and my Alex, the Red daddy we use. A couple of the girls are in season but I will be getting Alex back, he is the one I need to help me with getting up or walking, or to steady myself when I almost biff it. Which I have been doing quite a bit lately.
I'm feeling physically decent this morning, we didn't have all that much mail here, so I didn't overdue it. Mentally I'm feeling Great!!! I have a 3 day weekend coming up and other than doing a few things around the house, and of course the MRI tomorrow am, I am going to relax and enjoy myself and take alot of naps.
I have had some anxiety, but managed it ok, talked to my good friend, who right now is in PA at a large horse sale. The support team is very important, and I am going to say that you all have been wonderful new friends and I appreciate every one of you.
I hope I can return the favor when needed.
Have a great day!
Geri
