Hi Everyone,

Went to my internist today and she ordered a non-exercise stress test for this Friday, since I can't do the treadmill test due to my knee and foot. The stress is drug induced, which does not sound wonderful, except for the fact that there will be a cardiologist there should something untoward occur. We're looking at A-fib, so it will be interesting to see what the test induces.

We also talked about the weeks of horrible migraine pain I've had of late. So, tonight I'm on my doc's "difficult patient protocol." An hour before bed, I have to eat "major" food, followed by 2 Percoset and 2 Benadryl. She's trying to get the reticuolum in my brain to quiet down. DH has to check on me 4 hours into the night. The percoset is a CNS depressant, so depresses the respiratory center and I get this. I also know that I'm at my wits end with the pain in the left side of my brain which I've had every day for 30 years, except for two great years on Botox. Please say a prayer that this will work. Thanks so much.

I pray that God grants you better sleep tonight and a better day tomorrow.

God Bless - Rebecca

Hi Everyone,

It's almost the F.A.T. 2nd birthday, so I'd like to thank all of you who have stopped by to visit, provide some sage advice, grouse, share challenges and sad times alike.

How wonderful it's been to get to know you!

When I started out, I was working 55 hours a week with retirement a thought far in a future I'm now living in a different state under sometimes challenging circumstances.

However, I'm so glad you're still here! Even though I wouldn't know you to see you, you're all still a rock for me to visit for which I remain grateful.

God Bless - Rebecca

Hi all. It's been a tumultuous few days. I had the worst news you can ever have. My brilliant Grandson is gone. I can't even say the words. He had a brilliant future and was on a 4 year scholarship at George Washington University. He even had the Dean's scholarship. They only give one. I have a hole in my heart right now. My daughter and her husband are in shock. He had everything a young man could need. He had the most loving family, looks, brains and a future where he could have done anything. He was kind, loving, didn't take drugs and was a parents delight. But young love, when you loose it can be so hard for someone who's so young. It was his first love and he didn't know how to handle the loss.

I may be away for awhile. I need to go be with my daughter in Portland for awhile, not forever, I will be back but my heart aches now. The family went to Washington to recover his body. This has been such a tragedy for my family.

I must be strong for my daughter but it will be so hard. I can't stop crying.

Hold your loved ones close. Life is so tenuous.

I love you all and thank you for being there for me.

Glass

Glass I am so sorry for this.Such a tragedy,I don't know what to say.If I am reading correctly,did your GS commit suicide? I have dealt with this myself.My 28 year old nephew hung himself also over a girl.Losing any family member is awful but to a suicide,its just so horrendous.I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Oh, thank you Rebecca for that post. You were the first one I thought of when I read Portalnd. I will email you, personally- later in the afternoon, if that is an accaptable time. I will not attempt to bother you at an early time.
