You are all laughing at that duct tape thing....but my ex husband's second wife actually DID that with her 3 young kids (not my 2, thankfully). My two boys came back from visiting their dad and in the car on the way home they said, "mom you wouldn't BELIEVE what Susan did as a punishment for Jacob and Michael...she DUCT TAPED their arms and legs together so they couldn't move!" And they were suing ME for custody! I shared that story with the courts and they didn't think it was so funny.... Going thru the stress of a long, costly custody battle was the final straw that set my fibro into a flare that has never completely improved...and we know how stress can make everything so much worse. The biggest stressors for me are health uncertainties (waiting for results of tests! wondering if they'll find something worse than I already have! getting exhausted and sick from the tests, like you did dragonfly....), fears of losing your housing, not being able to pay for meds, family pressures to DO MORE and STOP BEING SICK AND LAZY ALL THE TIME, and for me, the worst one was fear of losing custody of my two boys to my ex's wicked mentally unstable second wife....I won the battle, but have paid the price in my physical and mental health declining. So Dragonfly....if you can....try not to STRESS after that STRESS test! It will all be over with soon for better or worse...we are all here to distract you with funny jokes and encouraging words. Imagine that next tech who wants to draw your blood with a wedgie! Yeah, you can tell I have boys.....  I hope you get to go home soon and they get to the bottom of this.... |
