    I am worried about my husband

    Just an update: I joined an online support group the other day. Really found out a lot of thing I was doing that I needed to change, the biggest ones being I am making his life easier to game by doing his laundry and cooking his meals, ect. That is stopping, as of yesterday. He has time to play...

    I am worried about my husband

    You all are right....and have given me insight I really hadn't thought of. I have always been the proverbial doormat and the one who has given way too much and expected way too little in return. I have a lot of "relearning" to do but I can do it. Although it pains me to watch him flush his...

    I am worried about my husband

    A few months ago I posted about my husband's online gaming addiction. During the summer, he was out of paramedic class for summer break. He is back in class and the gaming has not stopped. This has been a very tough summer for us due to the gaming and he promised me he would stop when class...

    The nastiest call

    I can't even imagine how frightened that poor man must have been to have to go through such an experience. I really feel for him.

    Just checking in.....

    I am doing much better now after Mom's death. I still have my moments and I still cry sometimes and miss her but I think that is normal. She is in a better place, free from AD. I am able to think of some memories and not get choked up. It's a process and I will be ok. Thanks to all who...

    Ever thought about leaving EMS because of a bad call?

    Mom was always proud of what I did. She even got to see me "in action" on the news one night. She could never understand how I could do it but she was proud of it. Even up until the last days she was alive, she was my biggest fan. She would want me to do this and told me to never let anyone take...

    Ever thought about leaving EMS because of a bad call?

    I am wondering this because ever since my mom died last Friday, I am wondering if I can ever get in the back of an ambulance again. I am not working EMS right now but since this happened, I am afraid of lights and sirens. What happened was my dad called 911 when he found my mom "out" as he...

    My mom passed away today

    Thank you for the wonderful words. They have helped me through the past few nghts when I couldn't sleep. I could log on and just read through everything. Thank you for sharing a bit of my sorrow with me. Mom loved butterflies. I try to think of her Alzheimer's was a cacoon in which she could...

    My mom passed away today

    A few months ago I posted about Mom and since had been caring for her. I just wanted you all to know she had died this morning (Alzheimer's) and she isn't suffering anymore. I have enjoyed coming here and yacking with everyone. Sometimes we don't agree but that's ok. We don't have to. I think...

    Exercise... for fun?!?

    I've got a bit too much junk in the trunk myself. I am having surgery on my arm tomarrow and then I hope to start up with something to "tone up". I'm going to call tomarrow before I head off to the hospital and find out how much a membership to the gym is. If anything, I will start walking and...
