When I was 14 my favorite uncle on dad's side of the family was diagnosed with what they called race horse cancer. In other words a very fast, very aggressive form of brain cancer. Over the next four months I watch my uncle John go from a vibrant loving man, to an emaciated skeleton. If grandma hadn't put a picture of him at his sister's wedding on top of the casket people probably wouldn't have recognized him. That was a relief, actually since he was in so much pain. Plus my stupid relatives didn't make things any easier at the funeral. When my uncle Charlie passed, it was a shock, but one we knew was coming. He had cancer and I had just gone to see him on friday, and I got the call sunday afternoon. I remember driving down from college for the funeral, but the drive back was a blurr. When I got to Matt's I was so stressed I was l litterly shaking. I don't know how I got through my shift at the gas station that night. But I have mementos of uncle Charlie, the dearest to me a stained glass sun catcher he made for my high school graduation. I still miss him to this day, but visiting and talking to my Aunt, and visiting his grave when I'm home, helps. As some of you know because I've talked about her, I lost my great grandmother about 7 years ago. We were extremely close, I was even named after her. The best part of the funeral was the two day viewing. So many family members and friends showed up, it was more like a party than a funeral. Really helped with the grieving. Of course I broke down the next day at the funeral service, but I think most of the female family members were. For the flight back to Texas I took a rose from the graveside and safety pin doll that had been in her home for years. I still miss her, but surrounding myself with mementos helps. Hope this helps Cookie. There's no one way to grieve. You just have to do it. Sometimes it's short and sweet, other times it long and drawn out. Take care my friend.

Good morning my crazy beeper friends. Where did the week go??? Can't believe it's Wednesday already. sigh.....

Weather: COLD!!!! Front came through and I about froze my assets off last night!!! Hubbie would not turn the heat up for nothing.

Sleep: Not enough. Only 7 1/2. Hopefully I get a nap today.

Mood: Feel like s**it, back hurts, can't take anything, want to cry, so my mood is sorta bitchy, standoffish, and crabby. You name it, I feel it.

Plans: Had a spinal block done yesterday because of my back pain, only this time they did a different one, wanting to see just how bad my back pain is, so they can decide the next step. Even with icing my back like they told me to, I feel like hell, hurt like the dickens and I can't take anything til this afternoon because I have to wait 24 hrs from the time of my procedure to take anything. Even my bipolar meds. Which puts me in a lovely mood to begin with. Just want to curl up in a ball and cry. My poor cat Peabody wanted to snuggle with mom for the first time in a while, but I kept having to get up to switch my ice pack which of course he didn't understand, all he knew was mom kept getting up and running him off her lap. My poor baby. So the cat hates me, I feel horrible, and Matt starts in on me. I absolutely, positively, DO NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE today. Well, Matt has a doctor's appt this afternoon for his yearly physical and of course wants to drag me along. Normally I would go, and happily. Just today I'm in pain, and his doctor has got to have the most uncomfortable chairs in the known universe. I'm not kidding. Unless you're lucky enough the snag the sofa, the chairs he has put your butt to sleep almost right away, and always have made my back hurt on a good day. So you would think he would understand why I don't want to go. No, he gets all hurt on me and picks a fight. We've been fighting since Sunday. I try and understand about his feet most of the time, you'd think he'd be more understanding about me. Just sitting in his chair (which is the better of the two and has more padding,) and typing this post is causing me to practically cry I hurt so much. Guess there's no way around it. Round 4 will start as soon as he gets up, if I like it or not. So I guess I can say my plans are to avoid a fight with my husband and convince him I hurt to much to go anyway. Just hope for once he'll get what I need at the grocery store without me going with him. Every time I asked him to go without me in the past he's threatened to buy just for himself only and nothing for me or the two of us together. I sooooo feel a headache coming on to match the one in my back. Hope everyone has a better day than me. ((((((HUGS))))))
