WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY.
Good morning all. it is raining here finally it has looked like rain for several days but hasnt done much just a tiny shower once in awhile . ...it is almost 7am and it is still dark here. so i guess it has set in to rain for awhile. that is ok we need a good rain for the gardens and all. I hate watering things. it just wears me out to drag water hoses here and there. Joe has me water faucets in several places and at most of them i have a double head with hoses on each one ...but i still have to drag the hose here and there. ...my idea of an ideal gardens would be to have a complete irigation system so all i had to do was turn it on in certain places lol
Please keep my youngest daughter in prayer. she has gotten a great job in San Antonio , with good pay, insurance, profit sharing, paid vacations all the good stuff that goes with a job. hopefully she will be able to keep it...as long as she is working she does pretty good on the drinking . at least she tells me she does. we will see. I tell her every time i talk to her that i love her and that God does too ....but how much better her life would be if she just turned all of her drinking and anger over to God to fix.
JO i understand just how devastated you felt about your son. only a mother that has prayed and hoped and thought she had finally seen a salvation of their child , to only have it snatched away , it is like a fist in the middle of the stomach , it is like total devastation .......bless you being a mother is never easy but the grown up problems hurt so badly for them and ourselves. we know mentally it isnt our fault but our heart doesnt know that. I will keep your son and you both in my prayers.
Andy i know you are sure looking a lot slimmer. and i bet that when you get all that taken care of and the swelling goes down that you will be amazed i bet your pant size goes down more than 2 inches.
I know that had to be so exciting to be able to ride the rollercoasters...lol not for me but i know what you mean about fitting in to one. ...is just the same feeling as being able to sit in any chair and not have to worry about breaking it . Those wow moments are great arent they....dont seem to have many of them anymore but remember them and the thrill of it all ...Congradulations. for jumping in and telling all of us about your Silver Dollar story....it is an inspiration to everyone. as you and Susan both are. Has she scheduled her toe surgery yet?
Hey when you get ready to schedule appointments at KU let me know maybe i could too and we could all ride up together.
This schedule we are on right now they have me down to work like i am full time. 9 days in this payperiod. from the 1st thru the 15th that is way too much ....tonight is my 3 day in a row. and that is just way too hard on me. i told them i would do it this time but next schedule i just cant...i get too tired and then have a couple of days off and all i want to do is sleep and rest...not get outside to my plants, which is my passion. there is just such a shortage of nurses and vacations and holidays etc etc just horrible to be able to schedule enough people to work.
since i cant get outside this morning , it is really raining hard now. and looks like it is the middle of the night.
need to get some laundry done and clean the bathroom and kitchen today again. those two rooms are the bane of my exestiance. lol
Oh Andy would love for you and Susan to come down....maybe for supper even ? You all will be able to be at the support meeting this month on the 16th? that will be great.
Barbara....Susan quit her job.to have surgery on her toe.

We got a lot of rain yesterday, rained all night and it was sprinkling on my way in. Didn't think we would ever need rain this summer after winter and spring we had but we do need it.
Jan, I so hope your daughter is able to be successful at her new job. I did call my son last night. He couldn't talk very well because he has lost his voice. He said his BP isn't coming down like they want it to so they're checking it every hour and he's on meds.
Barbara, his GF, visited with him. He is worried about his insurance, the driver's license problem and theSTD. So far he has received no pay for his vacation days or the STD. Barbara's mother said she will help them out as long as Greg finished his treatment. Her parents have always been generous with her and Barb has been used to having the best of everything. She has a lot of CC and has maxed them all out. I hope she doesn't talk to him about her credit problems, because that is not his problem. Her parents have baled her out before and she turns around and charges the cards up again.
I'm still a nervous wreck. The only good thing is I don't want to eat. I may go to the doctor. I take Zoloft. I really shouldn't depend on drugs to get me thru but I need to keep my head together for my job. Changing his life is totally up to him, but I still worry about him.
Sunday, I told Max I am done with prayer and church and I'm resigning from Stephens Ministry. He said I need to talk to the minister. I've been praying for Greg for over 5 years and have seen nothing change. I know.....God works on his own terms, but gee......how can I keep the faith when I see no results.

Jo dont give up on God he doesnt give up on you or your son. and besides you are seeing some results right now. he is getting detoxed at least....i have been praying for my daughter since she started down this path at 16 and she is now 43 so has been a long long time coming if it ever does. You know God cant just zapp them and make them well. they have to want to do it. it isnt up to you are me ...and like i said God wont make them do it. he is sort of like us he is waiting for them and when they take a step he will take several....
Please dont give up on God or your church that will only hurt you.
i know it is hard to keep the faith but that is what faith is , God didnt promise us that things would always be easy but that he would always be there for us.
We just need to learn to totally give them over to God and let it alone i guess , like i said if our will alone would do it they would have been clean and sober long time ago.
Love you and i will be praying for you.

Jo I understand your frustration only too well as I too have a child that continues to disappoint me. But just for the sake of 'food for thought'.....
Most of us here are addicted to food whether it be carbs or overeating. So we must be even more understanding of addicts no matter what their choice of addiction is. We all nearly ate ourselves to death before we finally found a solution that helped us slay our demons. Please don't give up on your son or God, this is a trial for everyone involved. Be strong and patient it is worth the battle just like when we were trying to finally get our WLS.
I hope you take this in the spirit in which I am offering it.... just another way of looking at the situation. I hope there will be resolve brought to you and your son quickly.

I do appreciate all the kinds words here and I know all you mean well. I must sound like a heathen tu rning my back on God and all I've been taught all my life. I'm really a good person but so discouraged with my son's behavior.
I never felt I had a food addiction and still don't. Maybe I'm kidding myself, but I followed many programs, just never lost any significant amount of weight. I wasn't into bingeing. I know now if I had followed the plan I do now, WLS wouldn't have been necessary.
With alcoholism or drug abuse, the person does things like get DWIs, causes accidents, goes to jail, loses jobs, etc. Fat people lose out on jobs and are sometimes treated badly, but you can't get arrested for being fat.
I know I need to quit stressing about something that is out of my control, but I'm a worrier and always have been.

Jo it is so normal to be flustrated with your sons behavior and even God too. for not answering our prayers when we want them to be answered. and you are right about the difference in drinking and the problems it causes , vs, eating. but they are all still addictions. I didnt binge eat either or purge but did over eat all the time especially when no one was around. lol like the food wouldnt count when no one saw me .
Yes you do need to quit stressing and quit worring it doesnt help him and it sure doesnt help you ....will make you hold on to weight when you stress....realy it does

I understand how you are feeling with God ,Church and Faith. My sister called me last night telling me she is down to 83 lbs and that dr thinks she has cancer.They are doing an MRI the 13th to find out.She asked me if she has it if i would please take care of her because she dosen't want to die in a nursing home.She is only 46.i told her yes but i really am not sure how much more i can go through. My brother's suicide and my mom dieing of cancer in Nov. I am not as strong as they give me credit for and i am so tired.I just wanna go away and never come back.Plus i gain 10lbs lose10lbs and i am so sick of fighting to lose i could scream. Sorry didn't mean to unload all that on you.just wanted you to know yur not alone.
Love and Huigs Deb
PoohBear, so sorry to hear about your sister. You have really had it rough. Just the word cancer gives me chills. My mother passed away with colon cancer at the age of 48. I lost a husband to melanoma and my dad died of prostate cancer but he was 86.
I understand about going away. Sometimes I feel liike that. I was thinking Sunday I would like to take my hubby and my dogs and go to a secluded mountain cabin with a bunch of books and a CD player. Not happening and I'd miss the computer and the TV.
You should think about talking to someone. I recently completed training as a Stephen Minister and our job is helping those who need someone to talk to. We don't give advice but we are good listeners.

a emt that work's at the park looked at it and said i need to go to the emergency room and get stiche's in my finger.
i took off some of the skin at the top of my finger and on top of my knuckle the skin was lifted off down to the bone.
so now my right hand is all wrapped up with a splint on my finger i have to keep it on till aleast this weekend.the stiches will fall off on their own.it is a lot of fun trying to eat and write and take a shower when i am right handed.
