Barb_ Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) February: Grandma is diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery given a clean bill of health. April: Dad diagnosed with bladder cancer. April: Dog walks down the block toward neighbor's house and vanishes. May: Grandma has emergency gall bladder surgery. June: Daughter diagnosed with Mono and spends 6 weeks very, very ill. June: Dad's bladder cancer fairly developed, must have bladder removed. July: Dad develops VRS sepsis after surgery and almost dies twice over the next month. August: Grandma diagnosed with inoperable bile duct cancer. September: Grandma diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer. September: Discover Aunt (dad's sister) is dying from ovarian cancer October: Daughter rolls van...totals it. October: Daughter's (trusted and beloved by my children) boyfriend wigs out when she breaks up with him..trashes her room and knocks her around necessitating restraining order. October: Grandma dies (yesterday). October: 5 children now down with H1N1 You know, I'm holding up well under the circumstances but I'm honestly becoming afraid to get out of bed in the mornings. I feel like I robbed Tut's tomb. Each time we get a little bit more bad news I just think, "Sure...why not?" Barb On the upside, however my new van was delivered yesterday and I love it. We also acquired an orphaned 4 week old kitten white kitten with blue eyes. We named him Milo and he's providing a welcome distraction. Edited October 19, 2009 by Barb F.

Lisa in Jax Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm so sorry for all of the stress and heartache. {{Barb}} That much stress takes a toll on you -- both mentally and physically. Please remember to take care of yourself -- be sure to eat well, rest as much as you can, and take vitamins and probiotics to support *your* immune system.
