Weekend Check In........................
 

Hi all - What's happening, how is everyone feeling. I am feeling anxious, yet no energy to do things.

Having problems with my mom again, not wanting to go to PT and saying she is always feeling sick. I think it is drinking, she had vodka in her soda, tried to lie about it, but I smelled the can. She has a Dr. appt on Tues., so that should help.

I get NO sleep, she is always calling for me. I think it is time to make a decision about her care.

A week from Wed is that day again! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Had a good appt. with my DV counseler this week.

Check in...............................Hugs to all, Nikko:hug:

OH Nikko. I am so sorry but I think you are right. You need to be able to take care of yourself too. Momma sounds like she desperatly needs more help. It shouldn't be up to you to devote every single second of your life to her care. Dang, you sound like me. ;)

I have taxes to send to the accountant. It's ready, just need to meet with him and drop it all off.

Going to take the boy to look at a truck he wants to buy and help him get his POS sold also.

Hubby's parents are coming by to pick up our old air conditioner for their house in the desert. (we went to central air this year.)

I want to get my nails done today. I had them done to go to Vegas and I am liking the vanity of the whole affair. They need to be filled, and I want to be selfish. (it feels selfish, but my hubby say's it necisary(sp) Bear time. :D )

I'm here! I don't get online very often on the weekends because my husband likes to be online. He's off getting his weekly massage so I have the time right now.
Very tired today as I am everyday. Trying to do some things around the apartment like dishes and folding laundry. Trying a new diet and just finished cooking my chicken for the week. UGH! Why do I feel so messed up this week?
My pnurse took me off my Dalmane. She felt it was doing me no good, so I have been feeling funny the last few days over that. My period has me all messed up. She feels my BP is being affected because of that. So I am just a mess. Time to crawl into bed and hide.

Just curious Wendy.
Does your fibro flair as well as the mood swings from bipolar around your period? Mine goes through the roof. Can get very ugly. I know that feeling of crawling in bed and pulling the covers over your head, so that's why I ask.

I am here
 

N - I also agree, your life needs to be simplified, you need time for just 'you', without having to worry about your Mom calling for you. Funny, tho, as I typed that, I realized that my life is similar in certain respects, tho it's my daughter who has me 'on call'. sigh....I fear we will never have that 'empty nest' that retired people speak of. :(

I feel really sick today, lots of pain in my back, especially. I have to skip my normal dose of Kadian occasionally, even last night, because I sacrificed myself by giving my daughter some of my Kadian when her pain was at it's worst from her accident...I am supposed to take the Kadian twice a day, but PM doesn not give me any extra, because it is so powerful (it's like MS Contin). PM wouldn't give her anything more for the pain, as she already takes Vicodin on a daily basis, which is why I gave her some of my meds....

She is better now - finally had her stitches removed fr her knee yesterday, and no more wearing that uncomfortable 'walking cast'. She felt so good, we went out together as a family to dinner yesterday, followed by a bit of shopping at Linens and Things.

Try to have a relaxing week-end, Di, and don't work too hard!!

Hugs

:( I am so tired of the struggle of my life, same old story, my mom who won't agree to live anywhere else but with me, I have no power of attorney, only medical if she is unable to speak.

Court, I can handle the stress of much more of that situation. Now to get the kit to file for divorce, then the money to file it.

Pain issues with my spine.

I am so sick and tired of it all. It seems to never ever end.

My life seems to suck.

Just me on the pity pot, oh well, I know everyone is sick of hearing it, I sure am sick of living it. Not sure how much longer I can handle this life of stress, it's been way too long, over a year.

Sometimes. Some months are worse than others.
Like today, I just woke up about an hour ago and I am ready to go back to bed already. My energy levels are very low and I really don't feel like associating with people. Right now all I want to do is sleep. Todd wants me to go and exercise but I just don't feel up to it. I can take all my meds, vitamins, drink coffee and still be exhausted by 10 AM.
So between the meds, the FM and the BP I am not sure which is causing the problem.
