The mulligrubs.....

When I was little (ie younger!), when I got out of sorts, my Mother said I had the mulligrubs...Well, I am in the midst of them now....I am having major pity parties continually for myself....I have this sinus/cold thing going on...and ask Angie Bea what happens when you say "snot" to me...dh and Em were both home today. Dh came home early yesterday and Em has been home all week. Em got her get out of school free ticket at her visit with her doc yesterday...She and DH will probably go back to school/work tomorrow....today, was miserable for me, both of them sleeping, and me trying to work - except files were in very short supply today so I worked from 8 to about 2 and got a total of about 3 real hours of work...and most of the files had incorrect info in them - supplied by the individuals that I was seeking info on....And this business with Dr B and the limbo I am in has really gotten me down....I HATE hurry-up and wait!!! I HATE IT!!! So I am lounging in my mulligrubs....Don't drink wine, but do eat cheese...so who wants to whine with me??? I am grumpy, ill-tempered, and just want to go to bed and cover my head....I don't feel friendly or encouraging and want to strangle EVERYBODY that has already had their surgery....Who knew the Queen could be such a stinker??? But I DO love you guys, anyway... Smoochers & Hugs (beware the germs!) Arlies

Poor Darlin! Whenever I get the crud, I find it really does help to moan out loud. Whine all you want to. Maybe you'll have gotten your bout Of the Flu over with By the time the weather gets Really yucky. Really hot showers also help me Feel a touch better. Hope you turn the corner soon. Best Wishes- Dx

Hi Arlies, I am so sorry you are stuck in the mulligrubs. I do understand what this is because my family has it sometimes. Try to straighten your crown and put that royal smile back on that sweet face. I really do hope your daughter and hubby go back to school/work tomorrow. This will make you feel better because you will not have to be worring about anyone but yourself. I still don't know anything about Dr. B but will let you know as soon as I do. Take care, Smiles, Jan

Ok...I know you probably don't want to hear from me right now, lol (since I'm a post-oper, lol). But ... I have those days too and what I do is....I LAY IN THE BED AND COVER MY HEAD! We have to have pity parties for ourselves sometimes b/c nobody else will! I pray for you every night b/c of the situation with Dr. Blake!! I can't even begin to imagine how FRUSTRATING THAT WOULD BE!! I WOULD BE LIVID!! I put in a good word for you with Dr. Salameh yesterday, but he said that nobody is getting moved to him yet because he is swamped!He said he was swamped before Dr B's situation and now it's even worse. He said that he's been helping out b/c he knows that so many people have been waiting so long for their surgeries and it's not fair to just cancel them. He has been doing surgeries several days a week to cover Dr. B's patients...even on Saturdays. He looked like warmed over poo poo when I saw him at 4....of course it was very good looking warmed over poo poo. I really felt sorry for him. Anyway....get back to your normal self soon or Im going to have to come get you!!!! Are you coming Monday night? I hope so! LUV YA BUNCHES AND BUNCHES!!! Kristi

My Poor Queenie, I am so sorry you got the mulligrubs...wish i could take them from you and throw them at my Dad or my ex Get well soon sweetie..Love you muches..Val (on the cheek )

I too got the mulligrubs as a younger person and sure have them tonight. I went to my mother's today and when I got back the house looked exactly the same. I have this thing where when I leave I get aggravated to come into the house if I left it dirty. I realize then that I am the ONLY one that cleans up around here. I do have a DH and a 17 year old son but they apparently think it is my job. Oh and don't forget Jill and Jeremy. They are 6 and 9. I get the attitude it is not right to take off a day from washing and cleaning. Guess what? I did today. It all looks the same as yesterday. Exactly the same. Oh well I am not worried and it will be there in the AM. Wanna bet? you betcha. Every time my DH walked by a shoe or something , he would just kick it out of the way trying to make a point. Oh well. I am so down about Blake and this mess. I had gotten so excited. Now I don't know a thing. I feel like maybe it won't ever happen. Like when your 9 months pregnant and you are afraid you'll always be that way. I feel a little hopeless here. Just wanted to vent with you Arlies! Love love love ya! Jane

Jane, I hate to see you going through this. I wish they would just say and be done with it. Its the unknown that drives us crazy. I took my packet that I got from Voc Rehab to my surgeon. He hasnt taken voc rehab before because he said they only wanted to pay him $1100.00. On my workup sheet they put that they would pay him $8000.00. I gave them this and they are checking into it. If it is what it says then I think they will start accepting it in Hattiesburg. I thought it was alot but then they told me that they have to pay to rent operating room at the hosp and it isnt cheap. Its more than $1100.00 and the surgeons fee helps pay this. What does your voc rehab show that it will pay surgeon? Do you know? Its getting close to the end of the month. Maybe we will know something about Dr. Blake soon. I wish you could have come to our support group meeting this month. Maybe you will next month. CHeer up ---it will happen for you, one way or another!

arlies, i got a letter from daphene canceling my dec 9th appt with dr b. she says that they are starting a bariatric clin at univ med ctr and his long-term and follow up patients would be seen here. it was on dr b stationary. call them at 601-815-1176 if i had any questions. i do and gonna call them in am. post tomorrow what they said\susan

Hey Your Majesty, i am sorry you have the mulligrubs hun I know it can be miserable .You are always working so hard to uplift everyone else ,and you are so sweet to everyone ,you need to be uplifted too hun.We Love You Your Majesty....................Sherry..........

Who could blame you? Just the limbo would be enough to put me where you are today without all the other stuff. I will keep you in my prayers, b/c I know you have gone thru so very much, had to change surgeons due to insurance and get right at the door for it only to slam shut. Hoping you get surgery SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
