havent been able to tell my family....

....because I have bronchitis and have been in bed for two days now. I am only up now because i hurt so dang bad I cant stand it anymore. I dont think i have ever been so sick.....I have never had bronchitis. Doc put me on the ole Z Pack...and some sort of narcotic cough syrup and i have been taking Alka-Seltzer plus.....so most of the time i am pretty incoherent....lol. But I guess that is not much different then most days then...lol I did get my stuff in the mail yesterday from Grinnell...wow....loads of information there! I see I am going to have to get working on some of the psych stuff. I think I will just tell my mom and dad this week and take it from there. I plan on giving them the information I got from Grinnell to help explain it all..... well got to go....just started coughing and peed my pants......sigh.....I dont know how much undies I have left!

Hang in there. Sorry to hear you are feeling so lousy. Better now tho than in 2 months, right? You will know when the time is right to tell your family. Just remember, you are doing it for you.

Hey Billie Jo.. I understand the anxiety of telling your parents. I just wrote mine a little letter explaing everything in detail, I even included my letter I had wrote to my insurance company so that they would know that this is not just mental but a serious medical problem. I was never so glad to have told my parents anything! They've been nothing but supportive and concerned for me from the day I told them. Grinnell is awesome. Dr. Coster IS awesome. I can't wait for my next appt just to go see him!! Take care, I hope you get to feeling better!! *huggs* Tracie S.. 341/310/180

Get well soon Billie Jo. Take care of you first deal with the family when you are feeling better. Think you will be surprised to find that they'll probably be supportive of your decision. Good idea Tracie about the letter. Hugs Carolyn
