That is quite a lot to handle emotionally and mentally, I know it would be for me.  It  is said when things are so down they have no where to go but up and I do hope in your case that is true

Meanwhile try to keep calm and look toward friends for support. They are there for us in bad times as well as good and I have found that to be so true.  This too shall pass as the saying goes and may you find strength in your faith.  Here's to better days ahead.

@Fresher  Yep, the whole weekend has been one full septic tank.

We found a guy and he will be coming later this afternoon.  It will probably cost an arm and a leg for emergency Sunday service but has to be done.

Apt metaphor.

@CrazyKittyLvr2   I'm so sorry your weekend was so horrible.

I always hear what my Aunt to helped raise me used to say, "God doesn't give us more than we can handle".

I have to question that sometimes.  Often it's people like you who hear about so many of your friends and relatives in your life who are going through hard times (the word "difficult" I thought of first seems too mild compared to what you've heard about this weekend.

Just know we here are thinking of you and hope things get better for you.

I just thought of something.  Some people would say, "Well...it didn't happen to you".

But you know we all have people in our lives that we really really care about.  While it's true, it wasn't or didn't happen to us, when something bad happens to other's who are in our lives, in some ways it's even worse because we care so much but we can't do anything about it.

Take care and know we all here are thinking of you.  I hope this coming week you will hear something that YOU feel good about.  Fondly, Annabelle/Linda

Wow, that really is a lot, an avalanche of a lot!

You are amazing and I know this may sound weird, but your post gives me strength-you know instead of how we all say to when someone asks:
"How are you?" and we say"fine."

There are so many times we need to just put it all out there! Cause this is life. And it really helps to know we are out there, following along, hearing each other, listening even though we can't be there.

And P.S. ( I think your sister sounds just like my mother!)

I know you'll get thru and thanks for your very authentic life and sharing it!

Hoping things get better for you, it never rains, it pours.

@on the bay  My Mom was stubborn but my sister is 50x worse.

She won't let anyone help with her umpteen meds.  Her DH has no idea of what takes or should be taking. She has big ziplock bags of them.  Her DD got her a big pill organizer in the beginning.  Sis did it for 2 weeks and announced it was too big.

She is to call Dr. right away if she starts gaining weight because of the CHF.  She doesn't, says, "I have an appt. next week". That is how she got 20lbs. of fluid and had breathing trouble.  She waited.

She ends up in the hospital and then complains because she is there.  Aaaahhhhh.

Hope your situation improves next week.  You have really had a lot of problems dumped on you at once.  Keep you in my prayers.

[CrazyKittyLvr2]

Again, thanks for all the kind words.

There are many folks, some on these boards, with much worse going on in their lives.

I certainly don't expect to be exempt from problems or bad news, but geez, not all in 2 days.

I gave up on the shot & a beer idea.  If I start now I'll be pickled by sundown. A hangover would be one more thing to deal with. lol

@CrazyKittyLvr2   So sorry to hear about everything you're dealing with.  Sending hugs and prayers.
