I was just thinking of you and wondering how you and your family are doing? I know that it is a very rough time. Just wanted to say hi.
Hey Alice, Hope you don't mind me jumping in on your thread. I just wanted to give a shout out to Jeff to. I think I saw him post this morning and wanted to write to him but I was running late to work. If you read this Jeff know you and your family have been on my mind and in my prayers. I know you are probably just taking some much needed time for yourself right now but wanted you to know you are missed around here. If and when you feel like posting please let me know how you and your mom are doing. Take care, Shantel
I talked to him tonight...doesn't feel much like posting. He's having a tough time. This board cares about you Jeff. Check in when you can. xxoo
Thanks guys--I am doing my best. thank god for my sister and Bil. They have been great. I am working on my anger as as usual it always rears its ugly head.
I really do appreciate all of you when you post like this. it helps.THanks
I was in shock at first and happy because I knew he was suffering at the end long story so I prayed for god to take him and it happened. At the service I was in shock -but fine--about 6 days ago I started having nightmares cant get the last 3 hrs that I held his hand and just spoke to him. He breathed in and out he was blind and out on a morphine drip. He could not feel anything he was mostly paralyzed by then and that look with the eyes rolled back I cant sleep ? So back to the head doc talkin to my friends and thank god the paxil they put me on works better than any A/D I have ever tried. Been on it for like 4 months when I lost my eye and was put on a different a/d and flipped out on it. eneded up in a hospital. It was a nightmare. I have tried so many I said WTF they said it may help and itr has.
Alice thanks for thinking of me Shantell Thanks and Lisa I pray my message got to you as you have 2 lives in the palm of your hands. You can only control one of them.
Lisa You ever need any advice please e-mail me or call me. I was your son and look at me now? He can grow to be me__LMFAO
YouALL have a great day I just got back from Dunkin donuts--coffee

Hi Jeff,
its good to finally see you . I figured you needed time. Jeff your dad couldn't have asked for a better son, for as long as I've known you you've always been there for your folks.
My sons will have me in a home by the time their 18.
Did you find another place?
Love,
Roe

Things are good. Its been almost 7 weeks. I've been going to meetings almost every day. My knee is holding on ibuprofen and I'll get a shot when I need to.
Jeff the ppls were making the pain worse. Sounds nuts, but they were.
Maybe the glucocemine/condroitin? worked, I don't know, but its ok. It still bothers me, but it is tolerable and I don't have to take ibuprofen every day.
For me, taking a pill is a trigger for thinking about the oxys. I didn't take mycholestorol pill for the first two weeks, then I thought i better.
I'm glad you're back. Did you get my email from a couple of weeks ago? Send me your numbers again.

Rose its not nuts. Rebound Pain--When we first met Ishared my experience when I broke my first hip. I was afraid of losing my job and of course wanted to play golf. Well that was the start. 10 mg a day of oxy and it took 5 years to get off it. The pain meds work great for short term but long term you build tolerance and its all over for most of us
Ify ou need Pain meds you need an operation. Thats the simple fact. IMO--
Glad your doing okay. Please send me your # I will call you ASAP i have a lot going on and am all juiced up right now. Couple days I should be semi normal.
LOL I hate prednisone but without it I would be dead a long long tine ago so? Dealing with it.
Be careful with ibuphophen It worked great for me but messed up my liver. I had to stop taking it.
Have a great day--Jeff

Jeff - There are days when I replay the tape of my Mom's last day. The only thing I can say is that you will never get over it but you will get through it. Eventually you wll come to accept him being gone. There will always be sad days and sad moments. That is the price of love.
Very well said Alice, I remember you posting about your mom's death. it was sad.
You have a good attitude. I hope your doing well.
Roe
You have a good attitude. I hope your doing well.

If you love your son and have a good sponsore in alanon they are going to tell some awfully tough changes. I know you will do it.

You cant change your son but sheet if he really want sobriety who better than you lisa to help him in the future. But man he needs to the work with no help from you. You know more than Ido about alanon as i never attended but god was the Master manipulator--
I am rambling over tired 2.5 hrs =2 weeks to finalize my new car.

Your Bud--Jeff
