Just a quick note because I'm about to run out to take my mother to a couple of doctors appts. she's decided she just has to go to.... Dr. Stahl's office has not received THEIR letter yet, so they won't give me a date until they receive their letter, which could be another day or two. So I'm pretty bummed about that, but I've gotta get my D & C taken care of on the 18th and my hearing for the foreclosure is on the 24th, and I can't seem to get my parents straightened out, so I am keeping too busy for words, so I don't have time to think about it too much right now. I didn't sleep hardly any last night and my mother woke me up this morning calling to tell me she made herself ANOTHER doctor's appt. to add to the tests she already had planned today. I swear I have never seen anyone who loved going to the doctor more than my mother. She is driving me nuts. And my sister's MIL is practically at death's door, which is why my mother is so determined she's gotta get herself some medical attention...she's jealous. I think it is so friggin' pathetic that my sister's MIL is dying and she wants to live so badly and can't, and my mother, who has absolutely nothing wrong with her, is JEALOUS of her for getting all the attention. My sister and I are both about to tell her all about herself and it ain't gonna be pretty. In the meantime, I am off to take this hypochondriac to the doctors. On one hand, it's actually a good thing because if I was just sitting here and not being able to get a date for my WLS and worrying about this foreclosure court date crap that I cannot even bear to think about...I might be losing my mind. I AM losing my mind. But at least I know I have something to look forward to besides being a chauffeur for my mother's whining. Damn, I dread this afternoon. 4 or more hours listening to my mother whine and complain about her imaginary ailments that everyone knows is not there. Calgon, take me away! Love you all! I will let you know as soon as I hear from Dr. Stahl. If I didn't have to tote my mother to doctors, I think I would just camp out on Dr. Stahl's doorstep until he came outside with a scalpel in his hand! LOL Joni
