Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Joni, No, I've never been to a NWH meeting, but really should go as most of you go there. I couldn't go last night, and will be getting married next month, so that's out! I go to the LMH meeting, where many of us go, we have a blast! Maybe you could join us? It's in Medford??? Good luck with Kitty, I'll keep my fingers crossed!! Dawn Re: NWH Meeting tonight Oh my gosh... To all the people that I did not meet, I hope to soon... I was so overwhelmed last night. I could not sleep, my head was spinning (better than the bed spinning)! I am a bit tired today. Must get my butt in gear and get to work... Got the kids off to school, the animals fed and the house straightened out a bit, amazing what a 12 & 13 year old can do to a house in one evening! I am a little sad this morning. One of my cats (I have 3 and they are all in-door cats), Sasha got out on Sunday morning and still has not come home. This is very unusual and I think that I need to accept the fact that she will not be back... She was one of my divorce cats (my ex was allergic to cats so got two right after I had him thrown out) and we have had her as a family pet since she was 6 weeks old, so sad.... Have a wonderful day everyone, I will talk to you all later from work! Hugs, Joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Sally, Thank you for sharing. I still struggle with being an orphan @40... My dad died in 1995, my mom in 1999...The past 5 years have been tough... I still go to call mom, especially with the upcoming surgery. I know she would proud and supportive of my decision. I still really miss her.. Which of course brings in my other fear, what if something happens to me during surgery and I have to leave me 12 & 13 year old. I just can't go there! Joni - 17 days pre-op and starting to get really stressed out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Joni, Your sentences below about your mother could have been written by me. I never realized how badly my Mom felt. She faked it and kept it to herself so I would not worry. "didn't want to be a burden". I was in denial. She spent her last two months alive in the hospital, so I saw her house going there to pick up mail. I had the guilt too. My Mom did not want to upset me. She just wanted to be with my Dad who had died a year before. Sorry, I should have taken this off list, but it just hit me so. Take care. I am counting those days with you. Mine is 1/2/01. Haven't counted out the days yet. After next weeks test, I will start and count. Sally "Dicastro, Joan" wrote: Dawn, Believe me at heart I am a slob…. Just don’t want my family to know…. I think it has a lot to do with when my Mom died, everything was such a mess. I had a tremendous amount of guilt over her inability to keep her house clean (due to how sick she was) and the fact that I never understood how bad things really were with her. Of course I also believe I was in denial as to how sick she really was and cleaning her house would have been an admission of her illness….

What is really weird is I’m not consciously aware of this as a fear, but I keep doing crazy things (example labeling the boxes in the basement)!! My friend Jeanne is driving me to the hospital and is going to stay with me until I am in recovery (what a good friend she is, she is taking a vacation day from work to be there for me)…. My sister lives in Newton, but she and her husband will be at my house in Fitchburg caring for my children, I hope they bring the kids to visit, but I have not asked as they are also taking time out of there busy lives to help. Thank you so much for asking, I was not sure I was going to be able to arrange everything, not having a SO in my life… Where you at the UMASS meeting Wednesday night????

I, also, am a divorced Catholic, and am finding my way back to the Church. If you'd like to walk the path with me, feel free to email. 17 days~~are you nervous? glad? excited? Will someone be at the hospital when you go in??

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Pam, I am surprisigly calm... But lot's of nervous energy. I finished my Egroup Christmas cards, but ran out of stamps... We got our tree, but did not go cut one down, it is too darn wet outside... Got the tree in the stand, Christmas nicknacks out, wreath on the door... Need to finish up some laundry and then I am going to go hang the new room darking blinds I bought this morning for my bedroom (figured I'll be spending a lot of time in there over the next few weeks, may as well be comfy...) Oh and I still need to pack, though I have everything ready to go... Joni - 1/2 day pre-op (or there abouts)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Joni, My very best wishes for tomorrow's surgery with Dr. Thayer. I will be thinking of you. It will probably be over before you know it. All the waiting and planning done. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
