Dear Waves,

That is good that you have no side effects and feel o.k. about moving the schedule a day. Good luck to you.

Hi everyone

I did get to the center. i got hot and dehydrated and then came home went to the docs picked up scripts skipped the pharmacy (will go tomorrow) and tucked into the bar where i had way too much beer. waaaaay too much. i will spare you the gory details.

well, i don't have an appointment yet and the pdoc i wanted is no longer there, but they have to figure out their schedule (i guess the doc was busy) and said they would call me monday to give me an appointment.

then i walked to the hospital to check the bulletin board for local docs, to see if the pdoc that subs for my doc was taking new patients. nope. all full as usual. sigh.

Thanks so much for cheerleading me outta here and on my way.

Hello again

i know i still need to respond to other stuff. i am feeling really taut though.

Well, i will try a short update. i am talking to dad as in will initiate occasionally. i am back to eating at the table but i mostly do not initiate. we mostly do not talk to each other. if i am in the kitchen getting something and he comes in to get something i leave everything as is and get out and wait for him to leave then go back. since kitchen treatment was his actual bone of contention.

i have still not been kissing him goodnight, but for the past two nights, i have gone to his room and said goodnight from the doorway and he said it back.

Bobby/Mari - the backlash/avoidance thing: while total avoidance might be my preference, i am afraid THAT might bring on a serious backlash on his part. So i guess i am going middle of the road for now.

The walking on eggs feeling will remain, because he blew up about something that has been going on for ages. What assurance do I have that tomorrow, or next week, or next month, he won't blow *THAT* kind of gasket or worse, about some other thing, that he has also kept bottled up and that could easily have been resolved with a talk and some on the spot objections.

I actually made a joke one day too. Couldn't help myself. My mom has a cactus that grew real tall and started leaning in its pot. I started calling it the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Mom was afraid it would topple over any time. Later dad called it the the Leaning Tower in my presence. Well I guess the punny area in my head got aholda my mouth before i could shut it and before I knew it I had told him "If she's not careful it's soon going to be the Tour I-Fell". Dad is one of the few people here that understands puns. And he actually did laugh too.

Mari you said something about seeking resolution. I'm not. He doesn't work that way. Old news. It is as "resolved" as it's going to be. All there can be eventually, is acceptance of how he is on my part, and I think that will take a good bit of time... it was a very big shake up.

I hope the zoloft works for you. This is the medication I am on. Have got good results over the two years of taking it. Depression has lifted. Hope you do not get any side effects at all. I wish you all the best. ginnie

[waves]

Thanks Ginnie.

I have used Zoloft on and off for many years and i only stopped it for a month before restarting.

It has always worked well for me in general health terms but this time one of the reasons i stopped was because of suspect hyponatremia.

I will be having blood tests soon. (the docs kept telling me to wait when i was feeling real bad! )
