<PRE>oh angela, you have every right to whine!!! i am so sorry about your

and take care of yourself. kathy in il

My Goodness ,

First of all, you are not a whiner. You have just had a really bad time

lately. I thought things were rough here.....but you have me beat. I am so

sorry to hear about your stay in the hosp. I am glad that you are home and

feeling a little better. (Physically, at least.) I don't pay much attention

to birthdays anymore. After the 21st one, they're really not that big of a

deal. I just keep having an annual 29th birthday. In January, I will have

my 7th annual 29th birthday. LOL! I just think of it as....we get older

every day, so why should one particular day of the year make me feel sad and

so much older when the rest of the days don't.

Dealing with your cousin's condition and then having a car accident must be

really hard to deal with. It is always hard to see someone you love in a

condition like that. I can understand why the accident happened. At least

you weren't seriously injured, and the car can be replaced.

Sounds like you need a big cup of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows

while reclining under a thick blanket while watching a really good movie.

And, of course, a really good looking, well built guy in a speedo waiting on

your every whim. That would take you mind off of the other things, wouldn't

it? LOL!!!!!!

I hope that things get better soon. Hang in there. Remember we all love you

and we have the cheese for the whine.

Love and Hugs

************************ Happy Brithday !

********************************

I'm so glad that you're alright. It's awful that you had the accident, but

it sounds like things could have been much worse. My friend, you do have an

awful lot on your plate right now. I will certainly have you and your

cousins in my prayers.

Never apologize for whining, as we all have our turn at it. We're here to

offer support and to " lend an ear " .

Sending a (((((((((((((((((((((((gentle birthday hug))))))))))))))))))

[ ] I guess I am a whiner!

Hi a and and everyone:

Sorry, I haven't written in a while. I have had a few things happening

and I

thought I would whine a little. Sorry about that. I guess I really am

down

in the dumps. Today is my birthday I am 55. I can't believe it, I don't

know where the time has gone. I was always the youngest, in my family,

among

friends, even at work. Now I feel I am older than most people I know. I

guess that is just my imagination. Well, to start off a few weeks ago I

ended up in the hospital with severe gout in my knee and I couldn't walk

at

all. I had to go in by ambulance cause I couldn't stand well enough to

get

to a car.

It was terrible. The pain was the worst I have had and I have had a lot

of

pain in my 55 years. However, my Doctor figured it out to be gout and

they

started treating me with the appropriate medicines and I was much better

after 4 days and was able to go home. Finally my knee feels a lot better,

it

took a while to get back to normal.

My cousin who has MS was put on a respirator, he got pneumonia. He is

paralyzed and I guess we new this would happen eventually. However, I was

so

upset after seeing him yesterday, i was actually shaking. I just couldn't

control it. Well, then I couldn't believe that I got into an auto

accident

and totalled my car. The car in front of me looked liked it was going

but

had actually stopped. I didn't see any lights on the car and I didn't see

a

blinker. (She said she was making a turn, but even my passenger said she

didn't see any blinker on). I am pretty bruised up. My passenger is

okay.

I just think we are both shook up a lot. I still can't seem to stop

shaking.

The accident really shook me. I had accidents before but this was very

scary. I keep seeing myself(my car) hitting the car in front of me again

and

again when I think about it which is a lot lately. My stomach is all

purple

from bruising but I take predisone so that is probably why and my right

hand.

The ambulance came and checked us over, but we didn't want to go to the

hospital. Plus, my hospitalization just lapsed and I was unable to get it

to

start in December. I have a plan, but it starts in January. I couldn't

make

another bill. However, I would have if I thought I was in danger. I

called

my Dr anyway and he said it sounded like I was alright. The brusing isn't

near any main organs.

Well, I guess I just had to get this all off my chest plus my other cousin

is

also on a respirator too and they don't think he will make it either. He

had

heart surgery and didn't do well.

I just really am letting myself get down, and I know I have to snap out of

it. It just seems like too many things at once. Now also this darn snow.

I

love snow, but not when I was expecting some visitors on my birthday and

now

they are not sure if they can come.

I know, I am just a whiner. I am sorry this is so long.

I hope everyone in the group are having painfree days.

bye for now.

Sincerely Colletti

,

If you didn¹t whine, I¹d worry about you! After reading this post, you¹re

on the don¹t whine enough list. People around you that you love are facing

life threatening problems, and it¹s such a helpless feeling to see it happen

and you can do nothing about it.

If that is not bad enough, you have an attack of gout and wind up in the

hospital. And then the icing on the cake, you total your car. No wonder

you can¹t stop shaking.

you don¹t need medical insurance to get treated for the auto

accident. Your PIP insurance part of your auto insurance will cover it

unless you chose to have your private medical insurance cover it.

Unfortunately I am finding out a lot since being rear ended in October.

Since we live in a no-fault state, our own insurance covers us.

Please call you insurance company and see if you can find out about this so

that you can get medical treatment. I though I was just sore and bruised,

but my pains didn¹t go away, they got worse so I had to seek medical

treatment. I was told there is a 10 day window from the day of the accident

that they give for these accidents. They cover after the 10 days, but

question it much more.

I¹m glad no one was seriously injured and hope you feel better soon.

I have to agree with Stacey. I¹ve been 29 for many years too. Maybe in 20

years or so, I¹ll celebrate my 39th birthday, but for now I¹m enjoying 29.

When you look at someone that lives to be 100, you¹re still a baby. So

enjoy your youth! I know it¹s hard to celebrate when so much is going on

around you, so maybe this birthday will be a quiet reflection of the good

things in your life. However you celebrate it, I hope it is a happy day

for you. God already put a magical blanket of white all around you to

brighten up your day!

Happy Birthday!

Thank Kathe you are great friend. Sincerely,

[Guest guest]

Dear a: Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for informing me about

the auto insurance covering the medical part of the accident. I guess I just

forgot. I am really okay just bruised pretty much. I spoke to my Doctor and

he said he knows that if something is wrong I would know enough to get help.

I have tried to make it a fairly good day for my birthday. (Spending time

with my Dad.) I am so lucky to have him.

Thank you a your letter, my dear friend

Sincerely,

[Guest guest]

Dear Stacey:

Thank you for your wonderful letter. A nice guy in a speedo would do just

the trick to take my mind off of all my problems. Thanks, that would be a

wonderful idea. Also, with the cheese to go with the whine too. Somestimes

God hands us a lot and it hard at first to get through it all, but however,

good friends like the ones I have in this group help me to get through these

rough days. Thank you so much for being one of them. You have helped me so

much.

Thank you again, with love,

[Guest guest]

, this is definitely NOT whining. Oh, I am so sorry to read all of

this. Sorry, too, that I didn't wish you a happy birthday on time, but

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You're not getting older, you're getting better. See,

I'm old enough to remember those commercials (43), LOL.

I'm very sorry to hear about your cousins. That's terrible news. I can

understand how upset you are about their conditions. You're probably

feeling very sad and helpless about them. I'll be praying for all of

you.

That's awful about your accident. Are you sure you don't want to let

your doctor take a peek? Please don't hesitate to go in if you start to

feel worse in any way. Sorry that your insurance situation isn't making

your decisions regarding all of this any easier.

Your gout episode sounds very unpleasant, too. I'm sorry that you spent

time in the hospital because of it, too. You poor thing, ! That's

enough calamity for you. 2003 will be much, much better. It has to be.

I'll be thinking of you,
