    New Diagnosis Unsure of Path Forward

    Wiz comes by to chat every couple of weeks. about 3 weeks ago we had a pretty long visit. He casually mentioned that he was given a schizophrenia diagnosis a couple of years ago. I was really shocked. It is a disease that has always scared me. He did not do well on any of the medications he tried. His...

    My Mom Is Dying

    My mom went into the hospital on Christmas night. Her liver is failing and so are her kidneys. The doctor says she won't last the week. She is coherent when she is awake, but they were going to start new pain medications as she is hurting a lot. She also has cellulitis in one leg and any movement is...

    Really Worried About My Mom

    My mom has had a lump in her abdomen for a while now. It can be very painful at times. She had to have a routine colonoscopy in July. Before the test, she had a CT scan of her abdomen. About 2 weeks after the test, her doctor's nurse called. The doctor was going on vacation, but he wanted her to...

    Crazy Cat!

    My cat has lost his mind. I finally got him sleeping in my room every night so that he won't pester the kids. We started it back when classes were actually happening. Tyler is too sweet to throw the cat out of his room in the middle of the night, so the cat was keeping thank you up all night. Now he...

    Tyler Amazes Me

    My youngest son amazes me. He is far from a difficult child, though his sensory issues are still with us. Last semester he lost his father and he still got amazing grades. These are grades I would be proud of in ANY semester. He took 2 math classes (calculus and statistics) plus an accounting...

    The Sweetest Thing

    My hubby is gone. Not even 2 weeks after our 28th anniversary. I don't even know how to cope. I have to go set up the funeral tomorrow. We are giving him a full Catholic Mass. He would want it, and his parents want it. I don't mind. The kids are okay with that. We are asking that people wear...

    Oh my heavens, They are EVERYWHERE!

    It has been a whole lot of awful lately. The good is seeing our families come together to support us. I just don't have a clue what we would be doing without them. We finally got some answers today. The PET scan showed tumors just about everywhere. The doctors have ordered more testing on the...

    Every Time We See a Doctor, It Gets Worse

    I am so thankful that my husband is stoned on pain medications most of the time. I don't think he realized all that the various doctors have said. Until we get the PET scan, we won't know the full story. We had another trip to the ER on Monday night. He got really scared when it was time to go to...

    Having a Really Bad Couple of Months

    Sorry I haven't been around much. The last few months have been a bit of a challenge. This month is the most horrid we have ever had. The kids are all doing great, thankfully! Even the diabetic cat is doing okay. Hubby is NOT. In the last month he went from 10-15K steps a day to suddenly only...

    Diabetic Cat?

    Have any of you ever had a diabetic cat? Captain Morgan was diagnosed about a month ago. He had started to drink out of the bathtub and even to go demand that we turn it on for him. I noticed he would spend a long time drinking, so I started timing him. He spent over 10 min at a time...

    Wiz Funny - NOT Meant to Upset Anyone

    I saw Wiz earlier today at the store. As he left me at my car, he almost made me spit water all over the car. He didn't tell me to "Have a Happy Easter!" He told me to "Have a Happy Zombie Jesus Day!" I grew up Catholic and that NEVER occurred to any of us. Which rather surprises me...

    Times Your Animal Kept You Safe or Alerted You to a Risky Situation

    Following on Tired Mama's story about her dog keeping her from the area where a fake policeman attacked a girl, I wondered about this: Have your animals ever steered you away from danger or kept you safe while others were in danger? I grew up with a black lab/Irish setter mix. She was...

    Very Funny Ad For a Piccolo

    This ad to sell a piccolo was found on Craigslist: "They call the trumpet "God's Instrument." The instrument that takes a month to learn and a lifetime to master. Forget that. I'm giving you the chance to own "Satan's Instrument." The instrument that takes a second to hate and a lifetime to get...

    Please Pray For My Dad

    My Dad fell and hit his head while on a walk last night. He got stitches and then the ER found a small brain bleed. I just found out when Wiz came to tell me because I was sleeping off a migraine after taking my youngest to his 1:30 am bus for his trip to Disney for school. At first they...
