Hello anyone awake. Just making some coffee

Good Morning Nicey, how are you this Monday Morning? I am doing good and have good news, Glenn is doing fine, we found out that his prostate biopsy is the cause of all the problems, he went into septic shock over it, apparently there was bacteria in his colon, that when they went in, got into his blood stream, the antibiotics they gave him prior to the procedure, the bacteria was resistant to it, they gave him the same one when he first went in, but found out what it was, and that it was and gave him different ones, so he is doing well, had him up walking the halls, cath bag and all.

We still don't know when he will get to come home, figuring probably Weds, do know that he gets his cath out today, he'll be happy about that, and maybe gets to start a clear diet today. Speaking of which, got to find out what constitutes a clear diet.

Anyway, guess I ought to dress and get ready to get out of here, I put in for family leave, will be off for the next two weeks, possibly more depending on when they let Glenn out of the hospital. Want to make sure he is well on his way to recovery before I leave him to his own devices.

He was moving a lot better than what I expected yesterday, so that is a good sign.

See you later time for me to head his direction, after going by the brothers to raid his cheesecake.

Thats great about Glenn. Have a good day!

Is there anybody out there? I'm feeling really tired this morning, trying to wake up. Maybe i'm about 4 again today i can feel it. I'm gonna try to get more done around the house today,and make dinner, and do my homework from an online class. Helloooooooo

good morning all, my heart has been hurt all weekend. first my brother talks to me like i am a child he must scold. next my boyfriend has no respect for me, and my best friend really isnt a good friend at all and my stomach is killing me. i am so sad i am trying not cry right now but its hard when everyone sucks.

Good morning Niecy, Carmen and Jazz!

Carmen, prayers going out for Glenn, I hope he gets out soon. My oh my! How our bodies can betray us at times. Well I'm so glad that they figured out what was wrong and that he is on the mend.

Niecy sorry you are tired honey but I hope that you get some work done once you get more alert.

Jazz, cry if you must, it does relieve the pressure in your heart. I'm so sorry that the men in your life are mistreating you.

I hope that you ladies have a better day.

Sorry about the weekend with your boyfriend. Why do your friends suck? I sometimes feel my best friend isn't really listening to me or cares, but i think it's just me. Hope your stomach feels better.

I sat down last night and read my journal from when I was 16 to 25 and the general theme was depression and how lonely I was. It seemed like no matter what my friends did they couldn't help. Of course from 16 to 19 I was madly in love with the same guy who I was with for a six month period broke up with but he went out with someone else and still saw me and led me on. Point is, I was in such agony or so I thought, my friends could NOT help me, no matter what they said or did. I even have several passages written in there from 2 of my closest friends how they wish they could help me. You are where you are and usually nobody can get in and change things. Things must be changed within yourself. How? I'm not positive, I stayed in that rut. I tried geographical cures several times and it didn't help. Only by finally letting things go did I finally heal.

Jazz, I hope that you can resolve some of the inner turmoil. As an older person, I just want you to know that one day you will look back and realize that you did make it through, though it was devastating at the time.

I don't still have any of my journals from when I was that age. Wow to be able save things. Sometimes crying is the best medicine so let it out. Maybe you should keep a journal then you may see your friends really do care. Sometimes I get to needy for my friends call them a l ot etc., Of course they can't truly understand where i'm coming from. Hope you get feeling better today.

Good Morning to all Carmen, I'm glad Glenn is finally doing better, that sucks about the septic, had it before, it's bad , give him a ((Hug)) from me!

I won't be in much, I have an appt with my SSDI lawyer in an hour, still getting stuff together, (BAD JOANNE), and am OBSESSING over some chick we saw at the VFW, I think I saw her and BF exchange looks and now I am freaking out over everything, couldn't sleep, sure I am making WAY WAY more of this than necessary, wish I wasn't such a freak!!! If I'm really NOT losing him, I'm sure I'll drive him away if I freak out over this! He says he doesn't even know her name, that she's just a friend of someone he knows. I am so nerved up over that and my appt that I am shakinng like a leaf!!!
