Good afternoon, MMC!

There is snow and sleet on the ground in mid-Michigan - it is very pretty out, but the roads are hazardous. Several accidents in the area - I'm glad I'm not going any where. The good news is that although we had a hard frost last night, the peach trees have survived - yay!

I have to get back to work, but I wanted to wish all of you a most MERRY day!!

Friday at last...this has been the week from Hades for me. I had a Doctor's appointment last Monday because I've been having trouble with anxiety. Found out my blood pressure was way up. Got new BP meds to take with the old BP meds. Was very anxious the whole visit. On Tuesday, the anxiety got totally out of control, and I had to leave work. Was off work Wednesday and Thursday. Finally had to come back to work today, and I'm sitting here shaking like a leaf. I had a discussion with my doctor this morning, and he's put me on two 'nerve pills'. Now, the big problem is that I am an organist and Holy Week is coming up. When I sat down to practice last night, in the privacy of my own home, my hands shook so bad I couldn't play. I've never had this sort of problem before. Never. I'm so upset I don't know what to do, and that's making my anxiety even worse. Could you please keep me in your prayers? I don't know what I'll do if I have to stop playing piano and organ-this is the love of my life

Sorry to hear your like this. but beleive me i have been down that road your on.
IF you want a bit of advice ..dont bow down to it.. until you have had it you dont realise how it makes you feel...
i have had it all. the high blood pressure.. the tense feeling..the sore head.. the head spinning...the shortness of breath..times i thought i was having a heart attack and i even at times thought of ending it.. but i rose above it.
I looked for nice things. i thought of christmas and happy times.i laughted i danced. it was not easy . i was kinda young at the time but even yet when i get really stressed out i can feel it coming on me again. but i get to it..befour it gets to me
But i have found out that only one person can help and thats yourself...
FIND THE REASON.. and sort that. or if you cant sort it either get help to sort it or if its not that important, walk away..let it go
Anxiety is sore on blood presure. and its best to try and keep the blood pressure good..you talk about nerve tablets. but they are not as bad as that. the dr wood have given you a small dosage just to claim your body down a bit. they do work. they make you relax..you say about the hands shaking. but these should help with this.. and all your doing is making yourself worst by worrying about something your good at.
It can be caused by stress. only you know what is the cause.
I found that excerise did help. even only a good walk round the block. or dance to music.
Hoping this helps a bit.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. My Prayers are on the way.

as for the house, a nice big mansion available for all members to use on vacation would go well with the jet!

You got it.

I think Hermione and I are really forming a bond. She no longer has to go in her "house" to sleep at night and early this morning since I am staying on the couch right now in case she needs anything, I was awakend by a wigly four month old Bloodhound feverishly giving me puppy smooches. I couldn't do anything but laugh. It was so cute.



Sugar - You take care now, being a nurse I am sure is so stressful. People do not realize all that you do. My very dearest friend of more than 40 years was a nurse on the floor for most of that time before she went into Care Management. Thank you for all you do for the patients and the doctors ((Hugs)) xo Nurses are the BEST !!

So glad to see you and Hermione are bonding so well. This is so wonderful. What a special thing.

Thanks, CM3. You're welcome, too. I love my job and wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you for all the words of encouragement all the time and always thinking about others all the time. You're truly an amazing person.

my sister is still in pain but is healing. she had some of the staples removed from her back yesterday, the rest weren't healed enough to remove. my mama is still there tending to her. please pray for her too!

Great news to hear that your sister is progressing well. I'll continue to pray for her, as well as your mom!

 

[sugar142286]

I do feel a lot better today.

I am glad you're feeling better, CAH!

 

[sugar142286]

Oh, well. At least tomorrow's Friday!

Yes! TGIF!

 

[sugar142286]

Sugar,
How could I take a segmented shower? LOL!!!

Haha...I actually I wasn't referring to the shower. I know you said that you were getting exhausted during your shower, but I just meant in general. You funny thing you. That's why I love your sense of humor! :-D

 

[sugar142286]

good morn'in ya'll!! TGIF, thank goodness. my hands are very sore this morning from work, took my meds & may have to pop a few advil later but nothing i can't handle.


Easter weekend we are going to see my sister @ the beach. i think she's coming along good now. those 1st few days were pretty rough but she's a dynamo

Hope you're feeling better!

That will be really nice to get away. I bet your sister will love it!

I'll also be breaking out all of the good luck charms tonight. The news said the odds are 1 in 176,000,000 but hey someone has to win.

Good luck, Made! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

So we had call into the school for my son to transfer all aplications have to go through the guidance office and after she questioned why he wanted to change schools my wife told her what had happened with the baseball team her words were "We shouldn't make such a hasty decision" and she would like to talk to the athletic director first.So my wife that was fine but the coach has a tendency to be loose liped about parent concerns and we were told that would not be allowed.
we'll see about that! You know the simple answer would be to not allow the same guy be the freshman coach for all sports because once the blinders go on to who are the favorites then the actual ability factor in the sport doesn't matter anymore.Anyway thanks for putting up with my venting!!!

This is truly a shame. Hope you guys can soon get something good to come out of this for your son. I totally agree that one coach shouldn't be allowed to coach.

So the Mega Millions jackpot just reached $640 million!!!! Heck if I win that much I could buy everyone a house in Santa Claus, Indiana instead of just taking everyone on vacation there.

Sounds perfect! Merry Christmas!!!

Good afternoon, Christmas family! How are you all this lovely day? I am well, just wish it was a little warmer. What's everyone up to today/this evening? Not doing much here. DH, the kids, and I will probably just hang around the house. It's nice to just relax every once in a while though!

I ended up working 10 hours last evening. We were very busy - lots of women coming in deciding they wanted to have their babies!

I don't have a lot planned for this weekend. I think tomorrow I am going to try to do somethings around the house and tomorrow night, we will be going to church for Palm Sunday and then out to eat with my family.

Well, I am going to go for now. Talk to you all later. Hope you're all well. Sending smiles to you all!
