1.5 Cranky- DEAL WITH IT!

2 = Depressed and I can tell it is going to hang around awhile

5 = fine, functional, steady, stable, working list

6 = looking forward to the day, sunny, energized

8 = up since 4 am cleaning, rearranged the living room, wrote the President, had sex twice with myself!

9 = can't stop thinking, why are all these other people so slow and stupid, time is short possibilities unlimited, I need to write that down perhaps start a novel, get out of my way

Good Morning everyone. I am a 5 this morning. I want to thank my MdJunction family for their support, prayers and thoughts during this difficult time with my momma.

I would like to apologize if some of my replies to threads have been insensitive or cold. I want everyone to feel cared and supported here as I do.

My momma is getting a scope done today and that will put her at risk for a stroke for a window of time. My sister and I will be up there with her today. She is very anxious and scared about the procedure.

My sister ( she is older than me ) is very harsh with my momma and I just have to bite my tongue. I don't want to argue again. I told my mom how I felt and she told me to not say anything. I am trying to drop clues and hints on how to validate my momma's feelings.

Keep the thoughts and support coming! I feel it!

May we be calm ( and I not choke my sister)

May we be at peace ( and I not drive the nurses nuts )

May we be stable ( no more security following me )

May we be happy!

A big warm welcome to the newbies- we love you already!

Have a great Monday! I will be updating this thread as it helps me cope.

I am a 5 today maybe just maybe the day will get better for me.

Think i'm a slow moving 5...i went boating yesterday on a huge lake had to push myself b/c was on a real low for a few days prior so since i went yesterday had a great sleep woke up feeling a lot better.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. Momma had a scope done today and it came out normal. Tomorrow is the lower GI. So she is at risk of a stroke for another day or so. I am going back up to the hospital in a few hours. And you guys know how wacky I am well I am going to wear my pajama's up there. I have a shirt and capri pjs and it is very evident that they are jammies but I don't care. I am also going to the book store in jammies. lol
