  1. Susie, can I help? Right now helping someone else would keep my mind off my own problems.

    I will be all alone on Christmas. My parents won't be here, John found out that he has to work on a special project due on Dec 26th so he can't come home, my sibs are all out of state, my best friend is going home to CT for her Christmas, so I am sitting here trying to not to cry.

    On top of everything else, while I know that the surgery my brother is going through is horrific, I feel that the fact that I almost died of the disease that has flaired up now and my parents felt it more important to be there than with me reminds me that I really am nothing to my family.

    Sorry everyone

  2. Awwww, Terri, hugs (cyber ones, so I won't get you sick!) to you!
    I'd still really like to come see you for Christmas, but I haven't been able to figure out what to do with the dog I'm dog-sitting. If I took the train up and back, the doggie would just be alone for much too long.
    I'll probably end up spending Christmas going between the dog's house and mine. Not only is Boyfriend not in the Christmas spirit this year, now there is a chance his Ex will quit her job any day and come back to live at the house with him. He then wants to find his own place, but that'll take a while.
    Oh, well....

    Feel better Terri - and Susie, too!

  3. GD, can you persuade the BF to dog sit for you on Christmas day? Just a thought.

  4. Thanks you guys. Terri,if I could,I'd come spend the day with you. If I could only convince Santa to pick up all these beady-eyed fuzzies & drop them under a few X-mas trees,I'd be smiling big-time. But,you guys just put a smile on my face showing your concern. I did just vent alittle bit on the Cyber Cafe thread to get it out of my system. :) <^..^> (:

  5. Thanks guys. I think I'm feeling sorry for myself.

  6. No,No,No you don't Terri...You have every right to feel the way you do. I understand your pain.{{{Hugs}}}

  7. Nothing wrong with that, Terri - I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself right now, too! You should go hug Bog the therapy kitty. I'm going to go hug the Bob while he's sleeping, so he can't get away - ha, ha! I'll send a hug from him to Auntie Terri, too!

  8. You have every reason, Terri. It's OK to let us know how you are feeling. In fact, we want to know whenever you or any other TDKer is feeling low so we can offer support. We are not just here for the good times!

    Good luck with all you are dealing with right now, dear Terri. You are in my prayers.

  9. Hm, me again, Terri, could you go see John instead, for Christmas, since he can't come to you?

  10. I have to work Christmas Eve and the day after and it's a 8 hour drive from here (6 hours from work) and I'd get there in the middle of the night and have to leave in the middle of the night. No time for sleep and being sick (dr isn't happy that I'm working. He'd go ballistic if he knew I was going to drive that far) isn't making it any easier. Like I said just feeling sorry for myself. sorry

  11. Terri, we will just have to put a spin on this. Don't think of it as your family thinking you're not important. Think of it as they know you're stronger and can handle the tough situation. (I know, sometimes ya just want to stamp your feet and holler...go ahead). Use this day as a day of cuddling with kitties, napping, eating whatever you want (ask Kimmy to pick up some goodies for you), reading, watching TV and RELAXING.
    And how are you REALLY? Please don't put yourself at risk. We love you and want you to be ok.
    BTW, have you ever read the Mitford books about Father Tim?

  12. And Terri...I'll be home that day as well. We can chat on TDK. So see, you won't be alone. {{{HUGS}}}

  13. Susie, that's excellent! :)

    Posted 4 years ago by linda #

  14. OK Linda, you ask how I am REALLY.

    Well, I'll answer you...

    I'm scared. The last time I had this I almost died. Died, like dead, like no longer alive.

    My family is so concerned about my brother (as well they should be) but he has his wife right there, he has my aunt, my cousin and her husband, his in-laws, and an extended family of I don't know how many to help him.

    I have NO ONE. Not a single person.

    You asked. Well now you know.

    Angry and scared and tired and sick and sore and achy.

    Is that enough or did I just make everyone mad at me too?

    Posted 4 years ago by Bogman, Clark and Andy's mama 2/27 Florida #

  15. Terri, now I'm crying for you...what can we do? Oh course no one is mad at you..we're scared for you. I know this is very serious....damn, why are you so far away :(

  16. I was feeling sorry for myself because I think this is the last Christmas I will have my mom until I read what you guys are going through. Susie, Terri, I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs. I like the idea that you can post on here thru Christmas and sharing with each other. Hope there are others of the TDK family who will be able to join in and get you guys through the day. Terri, is there any improvement in your leg? No, I agree your dr would go ballistic if he thought you would be driving that long! Blessings to you both and scream and hollar on here all you want. WE DO UNDERSTAND!

  17. {{HUGS}} back to you Paulajeanne(and Molly). Prayers for you and your Mom. You can vent if you want too...

  18. Great Dane, Bob is in a photo frame peeping at me from beside the computer, Moonshadow hasn't noticed him yet but will probably demand her own likeness be put up beside the handsome kitty. Thank you.

    Posted 4 years ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  19. Yay! Will Moonshadow be jealous that you have a picture of another kitty in your house?
    If you try the Santa hat thing, be ready to spend a few hours chasing a disgrunteled kitty around, who doesn't mind playing with the Santa hat, but I dare say would rather have a bath and his claws clipped than wear the hat - and then be photographed with it on!

  20. I daren't try to put a hat on Shadz, I would end up as 'self harmer of the year". Airy and I put a collar on her once and she went wild, could have won an Olympic gold in gymnastics.

  21. I was wondering how you got him to wear that hat so nicely. I have been enjoying all the Christmas cards, too and I am just getting started on mine. I tried to make address lables (have done so before) but computer is old and unco-operative grrrr. I sent my oversea's ones today and will get the others out soon. I am done working for this year YAY as of tomorrow so will get to it. Mail seems to come to Montana really slow but goes out faster. Is there a snail mail address for Pollys Mom I couldn't find one.

  22. Sandi, what you don't see in the picture is me holding his front paws down so he couldn't attack me or knock the hat off. Took me two days to get it done.

  23. Great Dane, Thanks for the visual. I got a good laugh
