Hi Ell ! What is happening today in your part of the world? I have GROWN sooooooo much in the past few weeks! Wow! It seems Im transforming into a butterfly after being sober and in the program for almost 7 months. First, 4 weeks ago I had acute apendicitis and had to get an emergency adendectomy, I took 7 out of 30 darvocet the hospital gave me to go home with and took em only when I was in pain and flushed the rest- you guys helped me here too, thanks!
One day I was with one of my friends I met in AA and we went by the animal shelter because I had been wanting to get an adult cat that needed a home... well this "cutie" named Morris picked ME! He is soooooo sweet. He acts like a dog! Very affectionate, and lets my 3 year old do anything with him. Well 24 hours after I brought him home he started coughing and sneezing real bad, looked it up on the internet and found out poor Morris had a Upper Resp Infection. He did not eat for 7 days. It was tough, everyday I fed him through a dropper and gave him meds. After two long weeks of taking care of him... he was fine! But then I got deathly ill with Lyarangitis, Bronchitis, and walking peumonia!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was in the hospital getting my appendix out I think it started then because I was unable to cough because my stomach hurt so bad. So over the next 3 weeks, it turned really nasty fast, and I was down, sick in bed for two weeks. I completely lost my voice, and had to take Biaxin.
So if that is not enough drama for about a six week period, then the guy Ive been dating for 3 years breaks up with me because Im not giving him enough attention. And it's true I havent, because since Ive been going to meetings everyday, I am seeing things in a whole different light. My two little girls come first, and the problem with this guy Ive been dating is if Im not constantly "needing" him- he is not happy. And instead of being a source of comfort to me- he has become a source of stress. So Im now going through getting all of his "stuff" back to him. Boxing things up and planning the trip over to his house tomorrow while he is not at home.
Ell, You and everyone else have been thought about... I just had drama after drama recently. Im glad Dallas is fine. Just without a computer... Lisa is on vacation in Salem, Patty sounds great, have you heard from Lynn? We need to keep all of our ducklings in the nest, or at least keep track while they are out.
Have you stopped taking Ultram completely or are you still having to take it for your pain? Let me know, let me know...
Oh, I almost forgot, Im still not working, :) I took my 8 year old to the elementary I went to when I was a little girl! It was so great walking through the halls, picturing the cake walks, walking through the auditorium where all the plays were at! The really weird thing is.... I noticed there were things I saw at my elementary today that I had been dreaming about. Then I realized that my memory is really starting to come back now! After 7 months! I have days where there will be a ton of things that slowly come back that I thought were lost forever for all those years of hydrocodone abuse!
Did that happen to you???
I love you!
