I'm going to have to go see my md on this. My feet and hands are always cold and I get light headed a lot. I'm guessing I have low blood pressure, but I'm a bit concerned. Greg (342/180/178)

Hi everyone. First I want to apologize for not having been around to lend support to everyone the way I was supported during my journey. The last 4 months have been insane and hopefully are finally going to settle down back into a near normal routine. As many of you know my son in bipolar, manic depressive. Well in Oct his meds got out of balance and he had a massive explosion and had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks. We got him home and things were ok but got worse and we had to go back. Billy was inpatient for almost 2 months and now is on day treatment and hopefully will be discharged and back in regular school in the next 2 weeks. I am hoping so because right now our schedule is up at 530 to meet the bus at 7 (his school/ treatment canter is 35 miles away) Be at work by 730 leave work at 3:30 pick him up take him home and then back to work till 7ish. Needless to say the copays and deductables have been ungodly. Then we found out some of my daughters financial aide for school was wrong and had to come up with an unexpected large sum to take care of that and put 1500 of repairs into the truck and car so that both are running and safe so she would have a car for school. We survived that got both vehicles repaired and through inspection. The when I don't think things could get any worse. My son comes running in screaming that the truck is on fire. We all run outside and sure as heck my truck (which was customed built for my dad and very sentimental to me since he passed away) Is in flames. We used 3 extinguishers and 2 hoses and couldn't get it out. The fire department finally showed up and got it out. If you own a ford check out the ford site for recalls Thank God the flames didn't spread to the house or our other car or the neighbors. The investigator said the fire burned at over 2000 degrees because it melted the hood, side panel, tire and glass. We did some checking and the truck was part of a huge recall for ford and we weren't notified seems 1995 - 2005 have a defective cruise control and will just catch on fire. I just sat down in my yard and cried. Liability ins only so no help there and Ford is saying it'll be 6 months before they even look at our truck. So needless to say I have been extremely stressed. I had not been taking my vitamins or drinking water or anything that I am supposed to be doing. I have maintained my weight at 165 so that is good. But I have been having massive headaches, not sleeping and burning stomach. So this week is my get it together week. I set my vits up and upping my water and hopefully will get more rest and down time for me. I am hoping to be on here more to give all the support I can. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and grand new year and have all the best in 2007. Take Care, Jeannie 315 - 165 AT GOAL!!! 3-9-05 wow almost 2 years
