Iknow it sounds like a bunch of excuses which they but that is the way it is.

I am venting trying to work this mess of thoughts out. My support system has shrunk, I am failing at keeping my cool, lost it at church yesterday long story but felt "disrespected" made minor scene pulling wife and son out thier classes and stupidy stormed out. Without support of wife and son not sure how much longer I can keep it together.

trying to get in to see my Doctor later this week need answers, to the pain.

Hello, Kathysmike;

Wow, I am really concerned for you. Please get help....Maybe see about getting a social worker to help you find resources for further help. Especially with your health problems and such...

My sister has an autistic son as well as being on disability for various health problems. I know she can get aids to come into her home to help her with her son. I'm wondering if the same can be available to you. There has got to be resources that you can turn to. This seems to be too much for you to handle alone.

Thanks much for coming to this forum to reach out...Please keep us posted as to what's happening.

I was able to see my Doctor this week, I was finaly able to get him to understand the level of pain and the location and accept my description of the pain. I took a red marker and outlined the area that the pain is concentrated in, he took one look and said thats the same place you hurt last year. Trying to obtain the tools I need so we can proceed with further diagnosis. As it is now he belivies it could be a reoccurance of the empynima I had the surgery to remove last year.

Thanks for the words of encouragment, they are appreciated. While my siblings live close we are not very close not alot of sharing happens.

I was also able to increase the mood stablelizer med, It has helped clear the thinking. My Son was able to stat seeing a councilsellor who was my assit. High school princp. he has reached out and is pushing me along to get the medical help I need. I just needed to be Kick started and then pushed along the path.
