I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your Sign From Ripping

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

DrOrrange

What are they and why do we care? Probiotics are microorganisms that have beneficial properties for the host (that's us). Probiotics are an important way we can alter intestinal bacterial flora. Most are derived from food sources like cultured milk products. The list of probiotics is long, but some familiar names are: lactobacillus, clostridium ...

Grieving Mother's Day

This will be the second Mother's Day without my mother and I am noticing a trend. About mid-April it starts - the commercials, the billboards, and newspaper ads collectively describing the "perfect" gift to give or place to go for Mother's Day. At first I felt a slight twinge of sadness, but being the well trained therapist that I ...

ONCE AGAIN

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

Once again, it is "that time of the month" where my hubby goes to refil all my meds and I am totally out to lunch when he asks what I need. I found out that I am on Restoril now instead of Halcion. I also found out that in the last month I have been to a few places and I have absolutely no memory of it at all. I told him tonight that is sounds like I need a med v...

Talked to my princess

Friday, May 16, 2008

So I told my little one daddy wasnt coming tomorrow. She almost fell apart. The whole he said he would just tears me apart. How does he not get it. I mean I know he is sick and all. But i knew when I was sick to let the kids know Mommy was sick and couldnt do things right now. They still saw me everyday unless i was in the hospital. He should have been here for his son and talk to him...

Alesha Update

Friday, May 16, 2008

I think my friend, Alesha, is going to heaven soon. Her doctors say that they think she's got ovarian cancer now along with all the rest. They have to do surgery to remove the ovaries and test them. I told Alesha about Jesse Duplantis going to heaven. I told her all about heaven and what it's gonna be like. She said that she loved the story. I'm excited for her suffering to finally en...

Today has been hard. I've been feeling insecure, lonely,angry and sad. I feel so selfish because I want my wife home, but I know she's getting the help she needs. I know this is temporary but these are real feelings I just can't seem to shake today. I can't just call her up to make me feel better thats not her job. I think I really need to feel these emotions today. It tells me a ...

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Venting story

My head is spinning. My allergies are whack. I can't stop coughing. I'm hungry. I'm bitchy. Stupid people get on my ever-loving nerves. I want to kick this guy that came in earlier. He was not nice, and I steadily maintained a smile until he walked out of my office, and then I secretly wished a bird would shit on his head on his way to the car...

Anybody use moodtracker.com? I've been hearing about it at blogtalkradio.com/bpradio. Says you can use it and involve your doctor so that they can be up to date with what's going on with you. Interesting.

He just wont stop. He just called and asked me what I needed. I texted him earlier and asked him to call me as we have a ton of stuff to go through since he isnt showing up, and i asked him why he wasnt coming as she thought he was, and his fucking response was, Well I didnt tell her i was coming or not. So I dont know why she would think I was. OMG You stupid moron. You just here 4 weeks ago say...

Clinic Visit

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A General Update story

I had a stupid anxiety attack today and I had to get off the freeway. I was on my way to the clinic for my anti-biotics and I had a blood pressure headache. My blood pressure was up when I got there so they call the doc of course. He says tell her when she does her dialysis in the morning to take more fluid off. My feet and legs were swollen so he says that's what's making my blood ...
