LOL yup

Usually around this time of year its not only a heck of alot colder here, but there always seems to be tons of snow on the ground. Funny thing is that today there is NO snow on the ground and is actually in the pluses for temperature so thats nothing to sneeze at

hello all. i hope everyone is doing well. I'm not on much; I've been releasing a lot of fear and feelings of trepidation. I was thinking today, if this is ever overwith, I wouldn't be surprised if I wept for a month. Everything is done in steps.

take care.

I think that tears are a release of energy that is needed when the soul swells up with so much emotion that the body cannot contain it... and so the body weeps in relief.

** It was better said by Nicholas Cage in the movie "City of Angels" but I cant remember enough of movie lines to quote them. No matter if they are from Happy or Hurt emotions, tears are still a natural mental and physical release.

I hope everyone is hanging in there today, yesterdat was rough for me. I was a wreck by last night, but today is another day.

Andrew, Jr. · 03-24-2010, 11:58 AM

I went to Mass today, and stayed for a while afterwards. I like to sit in silence and pray/meditate. Lately I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am having restrictions put on my driver's license because of the glaucoma. My big toe appears normal yet it feels like I have an ingrown toenail. It is diabetic neuropathy. The medicine I take for the pain isn't helping. I have been struggling to loose weight, and am terrified that I am going to loose my big toe. Slowly I am loosing my independence. It doesn't bother me as it does my elderly parents. They are deadly afaid that I am going to ask them for money. How sad is that?! Sheesh.

Today is enough for me. I am happy to be here, and alive.

Apocalipstic · 03-24-2010, 01:56 PM

Andrew, I am so sorry this is happening.

Are you 100% sure you don't have an ingrown toenail? My podiatrist said he cut all mine out, but it was still hurting and I found a huge ingrown shard of nail still in there. I have felt soooooo much ebtter since.

I am not religious, but I do find a cathedral one of most peaceful places to be.

Sorry your Dad is being such a jerk, he sounds singularly un-helpful. GRRRRR.

Andrew, Jr. · 03-24-2010, 02:02 PM

No ingrown toenail. I went to the podiatrist. He said it was from the diabetes. My toe looks normal, but hurts like heck.

I feel like for each and every step forward I make, there is something in my pathway shoving me back. It is very frustrating and depressing. I have to pull myself outta this funk.

My father is a selfish, self-centered, jackass. I have my 11 nieces and nephews hanging on me, asking me to intervene on their parents behalf. They are so very upset with their Grandfather. I really have never witnessed anything of this nature before. It brings tears to my eyes. I told one of my nephew's fiances that I wish I won the Powerball Lottery so I could just hand out cash to all of them.

Same thing happened to me, podiatrist and everything. Toe looked fine but hurt sooooo bad. I hope yours is all better soon.

So sorry about all the obstacles, I agree that can be very depressing.

Try and enjoy things you can pinpoint as good, like your friends and your babies.

I'm sorry your having a tough stretch. I think it will be better soon. There seems to be a black cloud affecting a lot of people's lives right now. I think it its because of the transition into Spring from the harder winter most have experienced. The energy is on the upswing raise your heart and raise the vibration.

Andrew, Jr. · 03-25-2010, 12:48 PM

Well, I have done a major no no. I stopped my daily blood draws, and have been skipping my Actos (diabetic med.). With the money I saved on the strips for the blood draws and my meds, I was able to save enough money to buy my niece a nice wedding present. That is why my big toe is giving me trouble. I know I know. I already got the lecture.

So, are you getting back on the program today?

Andrew, Jr. · 03-25-2010, 01:32 PM

Yep. I am back on my meds today, and tomorrow I start the blood draws.

Good for you!

and you are not going to use this as a way to save money in the future, right???

Sorry, you felt like you had to do this, I hope you feel better really soon!

Jet · 03-25-2010, 02:02 PM

There is nothing more horrific beyond the trauma itself than facing it alone. This requires faith from every fiber of my being.
