watch out!

PuppyLoverBob666 — Sat, 21 May 2022 14:02:05 GMT

I think this is going to be a bad day, at least for me. But the rest of you be careful too.

The first thing that happened is my toilet overflowed--I forgot that last night I flushed a small comb and thought it would't be a big deal. It has turned out to be a big deal. I dread thinking of what the plumber's bill will be if DH isn't able to dislodge it with his snake. And it's my fault.

Plus I had a very painful condition that my doctor gave me medication for; the minute I finished it, my problem came back as bad if not worse than before.

On thursday I had intense chest pain and spent the afternoon at the local ER. Turns out it was a harmless heart murmur; I was irritated at myself but I got some free entertainment by two patients who were thrashing around and cussing out all the hospital personnel.

My son is supposed to call us to let us know when and were out grandaughter's softball game is today. So far we haven't heard from them and I hope the game hasn't been rained out. I get to see my granddaughter so rarely that I'd be very disappointed.

Yes yes, I know that the day's not over but these are the same people who, after an argument they started, denied us any access at all to our grandaughter for 2 years and said some very hurtful things to us. We have gone through the motions of patching things up, but I'm still pretty wary of them.

Anyway, everyone be careful and try to have a good day :-)

Sorry you are having such a bad day. But why the warning to the rest of us to be careful and "watch out"????? We probably all have had this kind of day. No way to predict any of these things.

Hope there's improvement for you.

Mercury is currently in a retrograde cycle. It is believed by some to bring misfortune.

I hope everything turns out OK. I keep praying for everyone including myself. In not such a good place myself., but it will get better. We are all going through something and sometime need someone to vent or somewhere and this is a good place.

Some will not understand, but the majority will. I have the faith.

Please know heart murmurs are not harmless. They may be a sign that one of the valves is getting sloppy or torn. When that happens, the heart can't get the blood in and out of the lungs well and so breathing may become more difficult. Chest pain is an indication of something wrong. Don't minimize a heart murmur. I did and then my valve tore and because I would not go to a cardiologist and minimized it, then I had to wait and wait to get into a cardiologist and get all the testing to get this fixed. That stage was extremely distressing, chest pain from my heart not clearing my lungs and this horrible flippy floppy heart feeling (palpitations) when laying down. Not being able to do things like normal. I needed it fixed, big time heart surgery but I am fine, heart is fine.

@PuppyLoverBob666,

I hope the worst has passed and you get to see your grandaughter!

Yesterday was already a "No good, Terrible, Very Bad Day" (thank you Alexander's Very Bad Day!)

so, I'm

convinced today can't be any worse. I bet it will be better!

Despite whatever bad happens, I've discovered there is always some bit of light in the day.🌈🌠

This one is. I've had it checked out thoroughly--more than once, and simply forgot, and that was the cause of Thursday's fiasco.

Hmmm! You forgot that you have a heart murmur! Forgot you flushed a small comb in the toilet. Pretty distinctive differences I would say.

I forget a lot of things as do most of us. Even though I have spent countless hours in an ER, I have never forgotten what or why I was there.

Why are you telling us to be careful??? I think you had "one of those" days. We all have one occassionally. It's life. Medically, all you can do is follow your doctor's orders, take your medication if you are on any and stay positive. Do the things that relax you and make you feel good and don't expect bad things to happen, no good ever comes from that. If you want to improve family relationships, if you want to be in your grand child's life, you should put the past behind you and move forward. If you continue to dwell on old hurts and grudges, nothing can change. It will just be history repeating itself.

I have to tell DH this often...don't assume you will have a bad day. You absolutely will if that is your mindset. Assume the opposite and try to have a positive attitude. I know it is hard sometimes...but it helps to have the

" glass half full" outlook. Even when things are going downhill...find the silver lining of it...it's there.
