Treatment update

I know Jaime....you certainly are not guaranteeing me anything.  However,  having been through it you certainly have more knowledge than I do.  I love my tea in the morning.....I am a green tea drinker.....but I prefer it cold:)  Thanks again for the sharing of your experience it has guided me through this nightmare.

Love and compassion to you my friend......Happy Dentistry:)    Jenn

Hi Jenn,

I really do think that Jamie is right and that it is just going to take time.  Hopefully each day that you come home you will see a little bit of improvement.  I know that these things take time.  I am glad that you have your job to distract you.  It does come in handy.  And makes you feel good too to be working.

Best wishes to you, keep us posted as you have been.  I hope for more uplifting posts.  You are a special person and a strong person.  And remember we are here to support you.

Hugs, Karen

Geez Jamie!!  You have been through the wringer with that infection!!  I do hope you get well rested this evening. 

Thank you so much the both of you once again for the hope and words....they mean so much to me.  DH was better tonight, I think he knows I am getting weary.  He was not great but at least asked about my day.....had a bite to eat with me and watched rudolph the red nosed reindeer (my favorite holiday show) on TV.  He is stressing about going back to work tomorrow......so I hope that goes ok.  Winding down the night with the dogs....DH has gone to bed.  My two youngest dogs have been at it all night and they are not small dogs....so it has been a bit hairy.....I think the youngest is getting protective of mom (shes a boxer 8 months) and the second youngest is already protective of mom (australian shepard almost 2 years) so.......now to deal with that   a mom's work is never done......

So time to chill for a moment or two and prepare for another day.

Hugs to you both and a good nights rest to you both!!  Jenn

I feel your pain Karen.......I keep saying these are my last dogs as my kids will be out of college and on their own when the youngest two get old.  Then I can have some "freedom"....but who am I kidding once a dog person always a dog person.  They are your children and they are all individuals with personalities.  They bond with you and you with them......so when they pass you feel the same pain as you would when you lose a family member.  Hang in there time does heal it.....you will always miss you pet but the hurt will subside and you can smile at the memories instead of weep.

DH should be at work now.....have not heard anything so hopefully no news is good news.  I hope seeing his friends and getting out of the house will lift some of the fog.

Have a great day!!  Jenn

Well but you still got a good 10 hours didn't you?  So that is fantastic!!  Hopefully will make today a good day for you Jamie!!

We all have those and that is what we are all here for.....to support one another.  Here's to a good day for you as well Karen!!

Hugs...Jenn

I had a good day at work. It went by really fast. I enjoyed it. I like seeing different people, and you don't ahve to talk too long, I guess that is what makes it easy. My problem is relationships with people. I find it hard to trust. So I think that is what makes the job so nice. More like acquaintances. If that is the right word. I know that a lot of you are like me. Keep to yourself all of the time. I do have a couple of friends that I see sometimes, but it took a long time to become friends. I think those are the type that last longer. I don't see them much, but that is okay.

Jenn, keep us posted on how your husband is doing. I am hopeing and praying that each day gets better than the one before.

Take care all of you

Hugs, Karen

Hi Jenn,

I hope that DH gets uncrabby. that is no fun.

We have snow on the ground today. Yuck!!! I know that this is the time of year for it, but still not ready.

Today is a day off of work, but I work the weekend. Yes it is a good thing for me, I am so much happier working. Thank God I can. There was a time when I wouldn't of dreamed of being able to. Fibromyalgia and depression.

Take care

Hugs, Karen

no fun at all!!

 

We too have some snow...and it is cold!  I don't mind the snow but I wish it was 80:-) 

 

Working on the weekend is no fun!  We have a christmas party to go to...DH's work party.  Always a big affair.  We did not go last year because of this stuff but he decided he should attend this year.  Which is great for me.....get dressed up and party:-)  Can't wait!!  I am a very social person and the past year + I have not got to have much social time.....

 

Stay Warm Karen........Warm Hugs!!

How are you doing today Jamie??  Did you sleep well.......It is awful early there right now if my math is correct.

I do plan on doing some heel kicking tomorrow....can't wait

I totally agree.....finding this site has found me some great friends and support network!!

Cheers my friends!!  Jenn

Jenn,

Just wondering how things are going.

Hugs, Karen

Hi All-

I am doing ok.....party was good but DH was not fun to be around.  He left without wishing anyone a merry christmas or even saying good bye.  I was so upset.  He had so many people coming to him welcoming him back to work etc.....he was just not nice at all.

Needless to say I let it go and hit him yesterday with (short version) that he can stop using his depression as an excuse to be a jerk.  It may make him unhappy and irritable but he still has control over what comes out of his mouth.  More obviously to the story but it's time he step up to the plate and stop using that as his scapegoat ....doesn't givr him the right to be cold and nasty......so there    Trying to keep my sense of humor.....however he again sunday night was bad.....said he didn't want to go to work.....I asked why he said he hated his job.  I have told him now is not the time to be making such big decisions and if I let him quit his job with no prospects and he is still unhappy then he will blame our marriage and then leave it.  So I asked him if he thought our marriage was making him unhappy......very ling hesitation (over a minute) before he said no.....I was not happy.  In light of how all this went  down a year ago I was very upset....after all I have done and been through I deserve a quick positive answer.

Sigh.......I was still off today so I made 8 pounds of fudge, Nuts and bolts mix and puppy chow:-)  Lots of bakeing going on here:)

Don't know about you guys but we are scheduled to get 10-14 inches of snow here beginning tomorrow around noon thru wednesday....Yikes!!  I went and filled the gas cans so I can power up the snow blower.......I hate winter   But I love christmas!!

The boys are now here for the week from their dads so I have someone to share the season with!!  They keep me sane and happy

Hope all is well with you both.....I look forward to your updates!!!

Hugs to you both......Jenn   May need to sunglasses tomorrow with the glare off the snow!!!
