hi guys,
gotta laugh about the weather. saw something on fb how someone was sick of winter and ready to complain about summer heat! I love fall myself. spring is stormy and summer can be too hot.
was at my brothers for my nieces birthday. my great nieces were there, 9 months and almost 3. what a bundle of enegry!
arm is worn out today. i decited to try to do with less pain meds-mistake. was out with jen at the store and was crabby after about 20 minutes. i wish they didn’t make me so sleepy.
snow is almost gone and we are expecting a lot of rain so it will all be gone in the next couple days.
time for a pill and bed soon.

Hi Neva,
So so sorry to read the news. You may remember I have a gf who lost her name sake 28 year old niece. My friend is still in so much pain. The girl left a note-saying her mom was pure evil. The mom has mental illiness and I guess it’s safe to assume the daughter had it too.
Some things in life make no sense.
Just remember we have no control over people, places and things. We can’t save people unless they want saving.
I am very sorry for your loss and I will say a prayer for all of you.

Hi Stayinhome,
It was nice to meet u in the chat today.
You will find that a lot of people have cross addictions. I know people in a 12 step program that are cg but have 20 years sober. Makes me wonder what happen in the first recovery that led to the next adiction?
If you want to stay busy maybe try 90 meetings in 90 days. That helps a lot of people. Staying busy is so importaint especally when all we want to do gamble. I know drinking is a trigger for me, so I don’t drink much anymore and never alone. Thats a recipe for disaster for me.

Hi guys,
Yes snow indeed. Still snowing, 1,100 flights delayed or canceled-we had 600 canceled last week.
Had pt today-my arm is throbbing with pain. I have napped most of the afternoon. The pt guy said inside of my arm is brused-and to be expected.
My stomach is all brused from the blood thinner injections i have to give myself.
Neighbors had a party-and a visit from the cops at 2:30 am then again at 5 am! I was sleeping in my frontroom with ear plugs and was still woke up. I called the assocation today, irate, and found out their landlord has told them he won’t renew their lease so they said they would move out by the end of the month! God is good!
I am concerned that it will be a nightly party from now on but at least I don’t have to get up and work on 4 hours sleep.

hi guys,
thanks for the well wishes. i am feeling pretty good. i am on my own now. last two nights were ok-i sleep about 3-4 hours then change from the bed to the recliner. still taking pain killers but once i can taper off to the non narcotic kind i should be able to drive. yes i am pushing it, lol, but thats me.
talk about putting the horse before the cart! lol!

hey deb,
i think much like our gambling he has to find his "bottom". if you are feeling guilt i would sit him down, tell him you are sorry if he felt neglected, then let that go. we can only make a better tomorrow. you are right not to accept behaviour-and his opinion of you is none of your business. watch out for a trigger here. guilt is a big one.

hi guys,
i am so tired. i can’t wait until tomorrow-i can shower then. i have to call my gf today and see if she will be staying tonight. my sister is in my guest room sound asleep. nice to have her here. i rarely see her these days. funny to think about it because we shared a bed for 10 years. when i was a baby she would steal me from my crib, she was 5, and stick me in her baby buggy and push me down the street. the poor buggy, meant for a doll, would drag the ground and the neighbors would call my mom and tell her "she’s got that baby again!" 
pt went well yesterday. it hurt but was nice to get out of the sling.
i told my gf that took me to surgery about my cg. it must have been the drugs. she is the one who’s niece commited sucide. she said something about going to grief consueling. i told her i would love to go with her. she was glad that i told her that, as i believe she is having trouble walking through the door-much like goimg to your first ga meeting.

hi neva,
looks like things are coming along. i bought my kitchen chairs at a restruant supply store because i bought a vintage kitchen table and wanted cool dinette chairs. i love them and they will last forever.
things are getting better for me. can’t wait to shower!

Hi Guys,
Slept better last night, until the neighbors from hell started making noise at 2am. of course jen was here and she said something less than polite 3 times then i finally called the cops. As usual they were off the balcony by the time the cops came. they called my phone, asking me to buzz them in because they could hear them even with their balcony closed. I told them i couldn’t, as i was in the next building. I don’t think they tried to buzz their door as they were back at it at 4am.
Too bad that happened as i was able to sleep in my own bed last night.
off to pt today.
ouch

hi guys,
sleep? whats that? i am too weak to open my recliners on my own, getting up is really awful.
insurance company called-wanted to know if i am right or left handed. guess they figure i can come back sooner since my surgery was left and i am a righty.
