MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

So Today will be spent running around to fit into other peoples' schedules. I have things to do but I have to adjust them so others who are helping me can fit in helping me. I'm not blaming here, just it's frustrating so I'm venting.

I hope I can get some more DVDs and books from the VA 'Swap' Library. It's going to be a long week and I don't even know if I'm going to get the T-Day dinner I requested from a group that does this stuff each year. Why would a group like this use a Voice Mail system to take your information? How do you know if they are going to deliver? Pinch

Is this going to be another "Yo-Yo" week? Can people just leave me alone for a while? I don't EVEN want to hear their problems, because even if I try to advise them they just ignor me. Whistling

So that's where I am now.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Now, how could anyone ignore you? We all love you and what all the advice that you care to0 give. But if you need some peace, then by all means take off for a few days and return when you are feeling better. We are cleaning house and trying to get reaxdy for the family that will be coming up to moach off of us for the weekend. That is the only reason they ever show up. THey coem and take what they can and then leave. But they are family and if we have it, then we give it. Even when we do not have it, we will give some.

The MDJ rooms are okay. It is the 'real' people living around me that are the problem. I had to come here to vent. I never meant for it to sound like I was talking about the good people here.

Just I told one person that venting to me then not listening to my imput was doing her or I no good. So what happens? She is silent for 30 seconds then starts in again. I wonder if I can get my eardrums pierced while I'm at the V.A. today? Or get a feature that just plays classic piano with the touch of a switch? Something to drwn these people out.

I got to my appointment and got told about cancelling one at the last minute, wanting "Perfection in everyone else" and a laundry list of things I should get straightened out. Some of them make sense, others are just a pain in the rear, but I guess I'll try to do my best.

Between "Seasonal Blues", a hard few weeks emotionally and other clutter of life I have to wonder, is this the best time to lay all this out for me?
