My partner and I have run into a new problem with household chores. We've always split it up so that each of took on what we were physically capable of. Now, we both suffer from horrible allergies if we dust or vacuum - to the point that we get very sick. We also can't use a lot of cleaners. It used to just be me that had the bad allergies, so I did other stuff like cook and grocery shop, etc. Now it's both of us. We can't afford a maid or housecleaner, so I'm not sure how we are going to cope in the future. We're finally in a house we love, and now we can't keep it clean. Aargh! That's my current rant. Thanks for letting me vent.

OK... Here it comes. . .
I'M SO F#^($&g SICK OF BEING SICK. It's like one thing after another after another and on and on and on. I'm so sick of it that I don't want to talk about it anymore, and nobody around here wants to hear about it anyway. Every day, I get up and have to evaluate the way I feel. Am I nauseous? painful? swollen? red? itchy? headache? blood sugar? neck pain? weak? sore? did I sleep? and then I get up and get some coffee and re-eval to see if anything is better or worse.
I used to get up and go do. GO GO GO. Now, it takes 20 minutes just to drag my a$$ out of bed and I'd pretty much rather just stay there. I'm so tired of the housework and the rain and the car problems and the money problems and the house being a mess. Then theres Dr. problems and daughter, grandd, son, other DD, mother, DH. The cats fight, the dog's a horse and he came with DD. We didn't want another dog but theres one here anyway. I'm tired of the cats, one pees on the floor right next to the box, one wants to sleep on me and I don't want that. Grand D destroys the organized clutter - spewing it everywhere, so I have to bend over to pick up literally everything. Can't lose weight. Don't know how to bring in more funds. Feel like a slug that's becoming a parasite. Dmother is dementia and dependent, yet has pure selfishness and a very sharp tongue which stabs me in the heart. DH is -up to here- with my aches and pains. AND I DESPISE THE CLUTTER. DD would rather go out late night for FUN then sleep on the couch in the morning while letting the TV babysit - that just irks me to no end. She hardly lifts a finger to help out and when she does expects glorification. OH THANK YOUUU for picking up your babys mess. Thanks for doing her laundry and not letting her eat, jump, pee on my bed. And by the way, THX bunches for NEVER getting a babysitter and always assuming that I'm your on demand Nanny and janitor.
Hydrocodone 10 is barely touching the sore swollen boob. DDAMN DOUBLE DAMN. Anybody got a rock I can crawl under til spring? Think I will go back to bed. arrrrrrrrgh. humpffffff and .. sigh.

I've got constant rib pain on the non-C side and ps and onc both say its due to the reconstruction. Had a bone scan because of the pain and nada. Good news, right?!! Bad news is why does the freaking thing still hurt??? And btw, I did quit poking it
I would pull my hair out in frustration, but I need every last strand I have right now. 0 -
Ruth, google costochondritis and see if that's what it is.

I just talked to my 88 yr old GPa - he has prostate cancer. WTH!! Before my dx, no one in my family (blood or extended) had cancer. Now inl less than two years,I have had had two dx's of cancer, lost my 5 yr old nephew to cancer, my BIL was dx'd and won this fight with prostate cancer and now my Gpa!
I hope I haven't started some kind of trend...

o2, sorry about your grandpa. Will they do surgery? I wish him the best. NO I don't think you started a trend...for some reason cancer seems to be rearing its ugly head far too often in so many people.
Gentle hugs for all that you have been through and going through...suzie

Suzie14 - No surgery right now, they are giving him a shot to shrink his prostate first and then see how he is in a few months... He has been having difficulty urinating for almost 6 months!!! He goes to the VA almost twice a month, last month they catheterized him and sent him home with the cath. He finally went to the ER and they did a scan and PSA (over 300). Honestly I think that even if they wanted to do surgery GPa would refuse. As long as they can make him comfortable and he is able to pee, he would be happy. GMa pasted 5 years ago and I health has been declining over the years so he knows he is winding down.
Thank you for the hugs! I am feeling a little sad tonight...

02b, I can understand your sadness. The surgery would be so difficult on him, so I think the doc made the right decision. I do hope they can figure out a good solution to keep him urinating with out a problem. It does sound like he's winding down his life and he is ready for it.
hugs to the both of you....suzie

I'm no doc, but if a 90 year old man came in with difficutly urinating...the FIRST thing I'd do is a PSA (and a urine culture). Doi!! So sorry he had to suffer for 6 months and then probably felt bad going into the ER....so sad...

Occasionally, costochondritis as a result of bacterial infections can occur in people who use IV drugs or who have had surgery to their upper chest.
Barbe- I had a fungal infection at my incision site, but am not an IV drug user (!), so must be from the surgery. At least its 'nothing'
thanks.0 -
Costochondritis is actually a form of arthritis. I have horrid arthritis all over so it was logical that after my reduction and then lumpectomies and then mastectomies that I'd get it.....sigh.

Barbe = that is what upset me so much...GPa was hurting and no one was listening

I can't imagine Michelle, that is what my first thought was. The suffering he went through and the "shame" of having to go to the ER.....it makes one feel like a hypochondriac and the ER doesn't always treat us the best either. Glad he is under the proper care, and he is in my prayers.

Oh Hadley, THAT SUCKS.
I had a good friend once that turned out to be such a negative person. I tried really hard, we had them over practically every weekend for dinner, rented movies for the kids provided all kinds of support and friendship and pizza & beer. And it was as if she found the brown lining in every instance and about the most ridiculous things. We were neighbors and our DHs got along well. We moved (about 10 miles away) after they had been there 3 years and she was set that that would end our friendship! I was so shocked that just because we werent right next door she thought we couldnt be friends anymore. Eventually I had to let it go. It was and still is one of the toughest things cause now all but one of my friends are in here. But Im happier without having to change gears to get down to her negativity.
There just isn't any pleasing some people (my Mother for instance) and its worst than useless trying. I like to be easily pleased, makes life so much better than being poopy all the time. Although, I have a lot of issues. It really helps to spew my guts to you gals.
Don't ya love it?

There's a really good saying:
If people don't live up to your expectations,
Lower your expectations!0 -
There are some people who are just like that Hadley & Connie. If they're not grumpy, bitching or just being a gloomy guss they're not happy. We have some at work If they're not BITCHING, they're not happy. Just got to let it go. No need in letting it wear off on you. Don't let them rain on your parade. (((HUGS))) Leisa

Years ago a friend told me that on your list of friends, you probably have 5 people that are really important to you. Its good to update that list from time to time...meaning, dropping off #5 if they're not 'worthy' to stay on your list. I'm not saying this as well as I would like, but I feel like I'm a good friend and if you're not meeting my standards of friendship, you're going to be dropped from my top 5 !! That includes using me only as a bitch/moan outlet, or not reciprocating. My standards are not outrageous...I just like to be treated kindly and I don't think that's asking too much. Value yourself~0

Damn Connie, If I could remember where I saved the bitch of the day award, you'd certainly get it for your post one page back. Wow. ((((((hugs))))))
Sorry about your friend Hadley. That sucks.
I'm going to go try to find something to do. Must. Get. Off. Couch.

OK-Here's my gripe of the day. My 22 year old son was stopped by the police last night and asked to do a field sobriety test, which he passed. He was also asked to blow in the breathalizer at the scene, which he also passed. The police officer still handcuffed him and took him into the station where he had to do the breathalizer AGAIN, and he still passed. The police let him go, but impounded his car until tomorrow, and it's going to cost him $300 to get it out. Fortunately, the police station is about 3 blocks from my house, so my son walked here.
To make this clear, my son was not charged with a DUI, because he was not drunk, nor was he charged with any other violation, but he still has to pay to get his car out. Sounds like extortion to me!

Me too...that's just not right. I think I would call the police commissioner, sheriff, who ever is your high and mighty officer tomorrow and bitch. That's just wrong. Good luck.

leisaparis-I would love to call, but it really isn't my place. He is, after all, 22 years old. He probably will kick up some fuss in the future, but for now, the police still have 14 days in which to charge him with "something"-my guess is they'll come up with speeding-and if he makes a stink right now, it might go worse for him. He may be able to go to court to appeal the impound, but for now, he's waiting to see what happens. There's no way they can charge him with drunk driving, because he wasn't, but that doesn't mean they won't scrape the barrel to come up with something else.
