Sandy - Sorry about the test results. Dang it all! I hope they can do the IV at home. 7-10 days is a long time for you two to be apart. Saying my prayers for you all and sending you lots of cyber:hug:'s.

Fin - I am glad your last day went well. Being busy on your last day is better than sitting around bored and watching the clock.

San - hope you can do the IV at home... fingers crossed!

TK - lol, I can barely wipe me own ****, let alone do a book... but... I WILL think about it, and really appreciate your encouragement dear...

barb - glad I'm no longer in IL, (mi esposo lived there for 20 yrs, he's glad too...) it's 86 degrees here now, at 9 pm. sorry you're havin' a gray day.

Fin - happy LAST day, honey !!

Vonn - good luck on the job-hunting...

Frank - hope you're on the med, prayin' for ya!

Kitty - good to "see" you around... how's it going with you ???

Pearliegirlie - good you're keepin' busy, keep up the STELLAR work !

Try asking any of your docs to RX it. It doesn't have to be from your neuro. You don't have to stop your baclofen or neurontin. I take neurontin myself! I stopped the baclofen, because with the LDN I no longer needed it. My spasticity is way down. Also I have energy up the whoo hoo on the LDN and no more depression. It's my miracle drug I swear!!!!

There has been soooo much symptom relief with the LDN. I would never stop taking it because I feel so much better on it. Besides that my MRI's show slowing of progression and I have remained basically unchanged and stable for 4 years now! A record for me, LOL!!!

Carolyn:hug:

Awwwww, your so sweet:Blush2:

Carolyn:hug:

I hope you guys don't mind me intruding just this once, but I wanted to thank you all for the kind words and condolences you expressed after my brother's death.

My DH is doing just fine after his surgery, and hopefully I'll soon be able to get my head around the terrible way I found out about my brother dying.

It's still very hard, and I'm betwixt and between emotions still.

Thank you all. Every single one of you are special to me.

Koala, You aren't intruding. You are welcome to post anytime. :) Glad to hear hubby is doing well.

~~~~~~

Good morning all :) Sitting here with my usual morning cup of coffee trying to wake up.

The first and most important project of not working - cleaning the fridge! Need to get out the hazmat suit and tackle that bugger today. :D

Will not be on for awhile...will not be anywhere except inside myself...woke up this morning to a note and a check on my fridge my husband has gone,I have two weeks to get out of my house with the kids and a divorce hearing on June 9th apparently been in the works for a long time I was just the ignorant little wife at home with no idea....and my disability was denied so now I have no house...going to go live with my parents....no money (he left me 1000 dollars and cancelled all my cards.....and no income.

Oh, Renee......I'm speechless. I don't know what to say to you except I'm so sorry. My gosh, talk about ripping the rug out from under you. I'm glad you have parents to move back to but I know that's not what you want.

I have no advice....just a hug and know that you and your children are in my thoughts. :hug:

OMG Renee! So sorry to hear that. If you need anything, please let me know. :hug::hug::hug:

Hang in there, Renee. Once you get to your parents' house, there will be time to figure out your next move.

Omg. This is unreal Renee.

Renee, I do not know what to say except I am so sorry. Major hugs:grouphug:

Barb

Oh -- and get a good lawyer

I just spoke to Renee and I am speechless. I wont go into the details since it's not for me to indulge the details. I will say she has contacted her lawyer and they are on it. I just cannot believe he did this to her. Let's rally around her everyone. She really needs us now. :grouphug:

Oh my goodness Renee. I am just......If you need anything let us know.

God bless you honey....:hug::hug::hug::grouphug:

OMG (((Renee)))!! I don't have the words to express how sorry I am to hear that this is happening to you and your kids :(. We'll be here for you when you need us. I'm sure you are in a complete state of shock right now. Try to take care of yourself as best as you can. My thoughts are with you. Many, many hugs!!

Yes its true hubby walked on me and the kids...lied to his superiors etc left me 1000 bucks nevermind a uhal to Arkansas costs 800! My parents are coming and we are going to cram what we can into two vehicles and a uhal trailer since I can't afford the truck! Sandy you can give details at this point I just don't care.

Renee-
Just sent you a PM. Call me. Let me know what I can do. Military wives need to stick together. This bites the big one. Legally he can't leave you with only 1K and walk out. His command (if it's a decent one) will push him to make sure that you are taken care of.

sweet, Renee ... so sorry .. all I have are hugs for you from wisconsin!

**UPDATE**
got a call last night from a friend whose mom is going downhill fast .. and thought it would be cool for me to come and stay with her until her time is over .. basically just pain meds now, hospice, and no resusitation ... she only has a few weeks to maybe a couple months.

I called and said that I would ... but, it's about a 10-12 hr drive south for me ... so we'll see .. another friend doesn't want me to make the trip plus being in the south AND summer heat ...

not sure what to do anyways with the way everything is/isn't going .. nothing from the jobs yet (no patience here) ...

Jenn - how's your first day of freedom? did you attack the frige like you said?

Renee

I have so much to say but I won't. :mad: It's not my place.

I will say, however, that I am very sorry. No one deserves this. I will keep you and the kids in my prayers.

No matter how hard it is, always try to take the high road. It will make you look good and show him for what he is.

Okay, not saying any more....!!

Sending prayers, love and hugs your way. :hug:

Renee- I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. I agree with Carolina, I too could say so much but it is not my place. I can only support you and encourage you through this emotional process. You will be fine and you will make it through it. I will keep you all in my prayers. Sending lots and lots of cyber:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:'s for you and your little ones.

Fin - How was your 1st day of retirement? Well, forced retirement. LOL. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Vonn - Let us know what you decide to do. It may be a nice break to get away from everything. Does your friends mom have a/c? Could you break the trip up in to smaller parts as opposed to driving 10 hours straight?

Sandy - Hugs to you too. :hug: I didn't post on your Vent thread yet. I just sat down and was going to lurk a bit as I have so much to do right now. But, I saw Renee's post and signed on. I will keep you all in my prayers as well.

Hi Everyone else - Thank you so much for all the supportive and kind words you have share for our Renee. How awesome you all are.

I just can't Renee. I don't feel right telling all that is going on. Don't worry because we know the heartache and devastation your going through is enough and we don't need all the details.

I will tell you her lawyer is on it. Jim and I also told her if the military command is on it, he wont be able to just leave her stranded like this. They said he isn't doing anything wrong if he didn't kick her out. What a crock of bs. Jim told her to go up and keep going up the chain of command. He lied to his commanders and that should be enough to get him. Not to mention he lied to her. This is abandonment, plain and simple. He can't leave her with nothing, she earned her right to not be done this way. :mad:

My whole take on this is he should have man'd up and just told her. Not just leave her like this. He wont even return her calls. :( I will say he is placing the blame on her and Dayton which is cruel. Dayton is the one who found the note. :( He says it's about money. :rolleyes: If it was about money why didn't he say something? :rolleyes: :mad:

Renee, get in touch with Kitty because she may have some contacts to help you with a better price for a truck.

UM, I have a little SUV. School for DDs ends next week. We could be there in about . . . 4 or 5 days. :p

Oh Renee, how I wish I could do this for you. :hug:

Renee, I'm so darn sorry you have to go through this.

I'll be thinking of you too. :hug:

Im posting this just in case you read tonight. You will be in my
thoughts and prayers tonight Renee. Give your kids big hugs
tonight Renee, and remember that we are all sending big, big hugs
your way.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :grouphug:

Renee, know we're here for you. No details are necessary. My prayers are with you. Glad you consulted a lawyer.:hug:

Sandy & Jim, sounds like very good advice you gave Renee.



~~~~~

First day was attacking the fridge and doing some lite cleaning. Tired, but a good tired - which I haven't felt in a long time.

I was a little sad at the beginning of the day, but felt better as I did more around the house. I can see the plus side of being able to go to the grochery store during a weekday versus trying to fight the lines on the weekend. :)

Renee, I'm sick to my stomach about his conduct unbecoming an airforceman.

his actions are simply reprehensible, and I sincerely hope you get through this safely and with grace...

I'll be praying for you to have strength and courage to rise above his dishonorable and despicable tactics.

hugs from afar, K

Jim sorry to hear this, hopefully u can get iv's at home, Sandy sorry house is tense, hang in there or try to please, don't need u visiting crackerjack palace

as for me I am feeling better, pnuemoonia is exiting stage left. they won't do nerve block for chucky, too much of a risk for me at present time, they r afraid of infection.
as for my GI tract, it sucks
as for pain meds they still rock.....woooohoooo
I hope eveyone fairs well this weekend, and your caring and concerns have touched my heart.

M'ladies, I thank you all.......bowing deeply with a sweeping jesture of my hat.........

thank you
peace

p.s. keep fingers crossed I get out here today.

Thanks so much for all of your kind words. It is 320 Am haven't slept a wink I have no voice, I bounce between being angry and bawling and lonely and bawling and confused. My parents are coming next week to get us out of here.

Argh, Renee!! I can feel your pain, numbness, shock, and disbelief al at once. I went through a horrible situation with my husband a few years back. It feels like someone dropped a bomb in the middle of your life. I questioned EVERYTHING in our life, it felt like ALL of it must've been fake. PM me when you are up to talking. All I wanted then was to get out of that house, I went to my parents also. Please take care of you and get some help with the kids. ((((Renee))))

:hug: Renee :hug: I hope you got a little rest last night. Bless your heart - I just cannot believe that anyone could do something like this to someone - let alone their family. Just know that I'm thinking about you and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know. I'm glad your folks are coming to help you move.

I know it probably seems impossible right now to even get your mind around all of this but you will get through it. Just take it a day, or an hour or a minute at a time. :hug:

Good morning all :) Have my morning cup of coffee and trying to wake up.

Man, I am sore from yesterday. I have muscles screaming that I didn't even know I had! But it's a good feeling, as weird as it seems. Still have a few other things to tackle today, but I'll do a little at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~

Renee, Hoping you got some rest last night. :hug:

Frank, fingers are crossed that you'll be coming home soon.

Fin - So, what are you going to do on day #2? LOL. Housecleaning can be great exercise. When I clean I stretch at the same time. I make every move count. I decided that when I can clean my whole place all in one shot and in 2 hours, it is time to consider going back to the workforce. It has been 2 years now and I still have to break it up (kitchen/livingroom one day, bathroom/my bedroom the next, DDs room - I don't touch that. That's their responsibility. Laundry another day. Then I do the cycle again. Many days I don't get much further than the kitchen.)

Renee - How are you doing, sweetie? I hope you were able to get some rest. I am so glad your parents will be coming to help you through this. Hang in there. Amp up your inner strength as you need for both yourself and the kids. Still saying prayers for you.

Frank - Glad to hear from you. I'm sorry Chucky is still giving you a hard time and your plumbing is a little out of whack. But, hopefully you will be going home today. Still saying my prayers for you too.

Hi Everyone else! Hope you all have a good day.

I started following this thread just a few days ago.

Geez Renee - this is way tough. Keep going, your kids will help you just with love. Where is the SOB?

I am leaving for NY to see my son graduate from college. dreading the 5 hour flight. dreading leaving the house.

life is so routine in the house.

so we shall see.

Good Morning everyone!

The sun is shining today so I am happy. I am so sick of dreary, rainy days. I have an appointment with my pcp in 30 miunutes. I am still experiencing some tightness in throat/upper chest so I guess that means more tests. He has already ordered a pulmonary function test. Maybe this is MS hug? I know he also may order some cardiac tests.

Renee, Just want to let you know I am thinking about you and your kids. Stay strong!:hug:

Frank, Hope you are on your way home.

Sandy, Hope you have been able to figure out a way to get Jim treatment.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Sending huge hugs to Renee. I thought about you all night and said a few special prayers for you and the kids. I am so angry and hurt for you. After I spoke to you last night my heart ached. You were so sad and I couldn't do anything about it. :hug:

Aarcyn, he's already in Arkansas. He took leave from the AF to do all this. :mad:

UPDATE: I ended up helping Nik move anyway. His car broke down again and so off I went. I got home about 11pm and was tired to say the least. He had it towed to the mechanic but it's going to the junk yard gravesite today. ;) He'll be looking for a new car today and mom and dad will be taking him tomorrow or Sunday to buy one if Jim is feeling better.

No I didn't sleep last night, no the SOB still won't take my calls, I did find out he went to the family support center yesterday to print off directions to Arkansas etc when I went in to fax stuff to my attorney the lady said hey your husband was here yesterday! She said he gave no clue as to what he did. I am still trying to be strong for the kids got a little packing done I am just a wreck though the whole gamut of emotions going on. Love u guys though!

Hi Folks, This is the first time I've come to this thread. Do you just talk about whats going on 'today' & such?
I recognise some of you & you know me! (_@_) (I think you were around then Corky??)

I haven't done much yet. My DH, DD, her gf & I just got back from the college she wants to transfer to (but the subject she wants has a waiting list...she can't get in till 2010 so she'll just stay at UT. Right now I just watching TV & clicking keys. I'll likely be back later today. I usually am home all day, DH works & my kids go to school, work or out with freinds. I come to computer for someone to talk to/write to. http://bestsmileys.com/computer1/19.gif

Welcome Lor! :Wave-Hello: It is nice to meet you. You can just talk about your day or whatever you want on this thread.

I went to my pcp today and had an EKG. It was normal:) So now I am scheduled for a pulmonary function test, a colonoscopy, an MRI, and a cardiac stress test over the next few month. I definitely know how to have fun.:rolleyes: The good news is that my cholesterol and liver tests were fine. I am still waiting on the results of my Vitamin D test.

I celebrated by going out to lunch to a Mexican restuarant.:D

hey Barb ... sounds like an 'exciting' day!! and I bet you are just beat!:thud:

I made the label and sewn it on the quilt for the wedding tomorrow:Bride: ... going to be nice to just get away from the tin-condo for a day ...

good thing this isn't a web-cam - I have a 'mask' on :yikes:... gotta look good tomorrow ... and tried to rest today - even got a nappy in around 4ish...

received the email denial from Cargill over in Minneapolis :Sob:... that's okay - I reread one of my past course papers that I had received full credit for, about my corporation :Clever:... and - seeing that I haven't read it in over a month ... I was quite impressed .. and would consider funding it!

so, going to submit the plan this week ... and 'leave it in His hands' about my future fate ...

my dream: to stay in this area .. .or somewhere close to water ... and have a studio with power and water (and a/c) to paint ... and of course - a bigger, nicer trailer ... soooooo, seeing that I'll be dressed up for the wedding tomorrow, I'm going to stop in at an area mobile home dealer and see what I would have to do - and get some pricing to add to my business plan.:party dollar:
