Every time I start to think no one could possibly know how I'm feeling or what I'm going through each day I think of you and a couple of other people here and I realize we get each other through. What we sow, so shall we reap.
Babe, *I* need a rest period in IKEA!!!minkydog said:Hi Paige,
I'm doing okay. I took my DH to IKEA today Oh man! What a great place. He was completely worn out by the time we left(even with a short rest period IN THE STORE ) but we had a great time. Tomorrow we go to the cardiologist(not expecting anything bad there) and the pulmonologist(kinda dreading that one.) We find out tomorrow if DH goes no methatrexate. also we have to discuss permanently stepping down from work. I feel bad for DH. He does not want to have this converstion.

paigevz said:T&B, you must've posted while I was writing mine. You are a very kind and compassionate friend. I won't soon forget how much you encouraged me when I was first meeting the PMSers............I don't know where I'd be without that bunch and the Mad Chatters now.
Thanks to all my friends for understanding............it's easier to run away (and believe me, I've had plenty of friends do just that) when there's something this big and uncomfortable. You guys just came closer and let me lean.
You don't even have any clue what that means to me.

Unfortunately, as benign as all that sounds, the stress and the talking wear him out (he talks to lawyers all day long ) He has about 3 more years until he makes full retirement so he's trying to hang on for those benefits.
paigevz said:I went to a conferenece with some freinds today. I went out to lunch after with them. My firend was concerned that I was depressed and bought me two rum drinks. I dran them both. Then I came home and sat with dh and I drank some tequila. This is the first time in over 10 years I have had more than a few sips of alcohol. I don't really think it was such a bad idea. I am relaxed and not anxious. Not that I'd want to do it evey day. But for a Saturday evening, not bad at all. He is watching football while I am here DISing and we are sitting together and laughing at my attempts to tyep properly. It's a nice evening.
I'm so sorry, sweetie.paigevz said:I'm so sad.
