I just wanna say -- the random comments thread

Princess-- yikes. 12 hours and sweetie would have me thinking A) desperate or B) can't remember my name. Neither one is good.

Haven, If you ever come out to Monteray, CA go to see the giant sea otters. DH loves going to the aquarium because I'll stand in front of the giant sea otter tank for HOURS giggling, pointing, squealing. He says if he looks out of the corner of his eyes he can see my inner child just raring to jump in the tank with them. He's right. They are just too cute.

Packrat, if I ever come back... It will be as an otter. One of the safe ones at the aquarium. My idea of a good life: swimming, hanging out with my family, banging stuff with rocks, breaking stuff, getting into mischief, then being too cute and getting away with it. Of course, wild otters have it much rougher (I'nm totally willing to turn my freedom for safety. I'm not very brave). But the ones at the aquarium in Monteray just kill me they are so freaking cute.
 
That otter pic is so cute I almost can't stand it. I'm going on "cuteness overload" as we speak!!! :wacko:
 
I swear, my dog looks like every cute animal sometimes. She has a habit of laying on her back and holding bones with her front paws over he mouth to gnaw them, the same way otters do fish!!! If you look at her face, she looks like a sloth, and if you're on the bed and she can't get up, she'll stand up and stare at you like a meerkat. Not to mention the fact that she's my little ewok.
 
Saw the neurologist today.. I have a neurological disoder. Long road ahead, the disks in my neck are wrecking havoc on my nerves...

I am trying to keep a happy face. But it's hard.

If you have extra prayers to spare, I would love to have them... :))

Oh, Kaleigh, I'm so sorry to hear that! Tons of prayers headed your direction.
 
Kaleigh - I'm sending my strongest. (((HUGS))))
 
Thanks Princess and DF!!! I am trying to think good thoughts.. But sure could use that extra PS dust... I don't want to do a seperate thread on this.. I am depressed. I guess it's taking it's toll on me. And that is perfectly normal consideing what I am going through.

And hubby is away, he doesn't know. I hate giving news over the phone. I will tell him when he gets home.. He doesn't do well with medical stuff, so need to do it in person... Hard to explain, but that's how we roll...

And just celebrated our 24th anniversary.. ::)
 
My niece is in the ER right now after having a seizure at work, this is the second time this has happened :( I believe they think it is related to an emotional trauma in her past :( Poor girl!
 
Kaleigh, something I heard this week that really helped me (and I hope it helps you) is that when you're going through a tough time, remember that it doesn't define you. It's easy to see this as being your world right now, but remember you as a person are something independent of this circumstance. No matter how difficult things are, it won't affect your core as a person. We know you're a wonderful, strong, funny, caring woman - no matter what the diagnosis, that won't change. So overwhelming as I know it is (7 years ago I was diagnosed with a heart condition and I let that be my life and defining characteristic for several years), make time for YOU - the you untouched by all of this, the core you. It'll keep you stronger and more centered.

ETA: Re-reading it, it sounds WAY cheesier than when I heard it last weekend. Sorry it's not translating well. It's just something that hit home for me and I wish I'd heard way back when I was diagnosed.

HUGE AMOUNTS OF GIANT DUST, MY FRIEND. All the dust you've given me over the years-- right back at you.

My mom has had lots of issues with disks in ... well, her whole back. And John is having surgery on the disks in his back on Monday, so I know a fair bit... if there is anything I can help you with let me know. And... as you know, I've dealt with depression, so got experience there too. Happy to help. And I think you should start another thread. After all of us starting so many threads over the years and you dusting us, it would feel good to feel like we are giving back to you. I know it is easier to ask for dust for others, or to give dust. But you need TLC too.

Much hugs. And I think Princess's words are very wise. Very touching and insightful Princess. I think you helped more that Lisa with that.
 
Kaleigh - you amaze me with your strength. I wish that I had half the strength you do! I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.


RT - I hope your niece is ok. I also hope though that they are running medical tests before simply ruling it to the trauma. Although I'm sure that could be an option, it'd be nice to know that if it were medical related they could find it and help battle it.

She's been seeing a counselor for about a year now and this is the second time it's happened (it's been the same trigger for each event that related to her emotional trauma). However, she is seeing a neurologist next week and getting an eeg very soon so they will be able to pin point what is happening. I hope everything comes out ok!! :(sad
 
I need to start my own thread for all of the stuff I lose every week. I lose my phone and rings daily. I just got my 8 prong settings in the mail for earrings on thursday and within 5 mins of my fiance getting home tonight and showing them to him, I lost them. Can't find them ANYWHERE!!! :blackeye:
 
Glad I could help a little.

Actually, as far as my heart condition, I got great news the other day. 7 years ago I was sitting in math class and we noticed that my resting heart rate wasn't in the normal range anymore - instead of being in the 60s like it normally was, it was around 100. Walking around school one day, my heart rate almost hit 200 beats per minute. That led to all sorts of tests and finally a diagnosis. I spent a few years being terrified of doing anything strenuous, and really letting my life be dictated by the diagnosis. I've been on medication but slowly weaning off of it and using it only for days when I'm having issues

I gave blood on Thursday, and they had to take my heart rate. I hadn't taken medication in over a week, so I was kind of dreading seeing the result. My resting heart rate was 52bpm. I almost cried. A few years ago I finally decided to say "Screw being scared, screw hiding, I'm going to do what I want." I cleaned up my eating habits to a large degree, I started playing sports again, and stopped worrying. I honestly have never been in such good shape, and it's finally showing in the most important place. I couldn't be happier right now.

Kaleigh, you will be in my daily prayers. I know that you're apprehensive right now because of the news, but I also know that you are one intelligent, strong woman who can handle anything. It's funny but I can't discuss important or serious things on the phone with my husband either. I always have to wait until he comes home and sometimes it kills me to do it, because I want to talk to him about it and feel better about things knowing that I can lean on him if I have to. I hope your husband is back home soon so you can share this with him. It's helps so much to know that you are handling it together. In the meantime, you can always lean on your friends. Pricescope and the funny pages are open 24/7!

Many thanks my dear Layla.

I have a rather rare disorder... I have been laying on a heating pad for the past 6 years?? The degenerative disk disease I have surely isn't helping. But this is my brain misfiring.. It will not go away with rest... This is one of those, OMG. kinda disorders..

It's bringing me to my knees....

I am a strong one... Always have been..

BUT this has sucker punched me right in my stomach...

I wanted to get up today.. But the medicine knocked me out, and I took a half...

When I got my presciption, I talked to my pharmacist..

She said wow, I saw that script what is going on?? You have never had anything like this...

Yeah so now I do and it sucks... Like your life has just changed, and you are just realising it....

Wanting to say,

This is good bye for me.. :wavey:


Let me get well, and will be back... If that's gods will.. ::)

No am not being dramatic.. I just really need to figure this out, deal with it.. I'll lurk and if I want to post I will...

But my main goal is how do I beat this...

xxoo

Realy wanted to thank gemgirl, soocool and princess. Your words mean a great deal to me, so I thank you. And know they will help many.... That's the best thing. You help not just the OP but everyone that reads your posts.

Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been going through such a rough time. My thoughts are with you.

OK that's it from me, saying good bye, hoping to see you all sooner than later lord willing.
 
Princess - That is fantastic that your resting heart rate is now so great!! You are an inspiration!


Kaleigh - I am so sorry you are going through a rough time, and that you are having to battle something so hard on you both mentally and physically. Just know we are all here!!! I'll have you in my thoughts!

I'm proud of myself tonight. Earlier I took my car through a car wash, because I keep having to put off washing it because of studying, and well, time is out. I go to look at a new used vehicle tomorrow. Well I wasted my nine bucks BIG TIME :angryfire: . I got out after the car wash to look my car over and it hadn't done ANYTHING. I was able to wipe dirt off with my finger, but a high pressure car wash didn't do anything???? So I got home, steaming mad, and at 9PM I washed my car. Why am I proud you ask? Because it looks like a totally different car now. :lol:
 
Kaleigh, I will keep you in my prayers.
 
Me too.

Lisa, lots of hugs, strength, and healing dust for you. and lots and lots of love.
 
Kaleigh -

Lots of dust to you, and prayers to you and your doctors.

Sylvia
 
Dear Kaleigh, I just wanted to say that I will be praying for you. I have seen miracles in my life, regarding my son and his brain
injury, and I will be praying for one for you. Complete healing, peace. Will keep praying until we all hear otherwise for you. God Bless.

I am REALLY sad.
 
Hello again everyone! It feels good to be back. I moved cross country, started a new job, and had to have my gall bladder removed. Things are finally starting to calm down a bit and it is nice to have some time for PS again.

To Kaleigh, you are in my thoughts.
