27878. Iiibbb - 2/28/2014 8:53:16 AM Vortex meaning the argument is through a common friend, rather than someone I know or care. My only position is that parents make decisions free of hassle. The passionate crowd played into my hand by equating choice to advocacy.
27879. Iiibbb - 2/28/2014 8:57:23 AM Actually people.. Not " someone ". The someone was the person lamenting how choosing to become a parent is hard because finding the right choices is hard. I said there is never a right choice because people are waiting in the wings to trash any choice. 27880. judithathome - 2/28/2014 7:26:41 PM Spent the morning at the doctor's office getting an EKG and other tests due to some scares the last couple of days...he's sending me to a cardio testing place for a stress-less stress test and some other test I can't recall.
He doesn't think it was a heart attack, per se... but something called THIS, instead. 27881. iiibbb - 2/28/2014 7:45:41 PM My dad and mother in law both have that.
Are you worried? If so I can tell you they've had it a while and are doing well. 27882. iiibbb - 2/28/2014 7:47:17 PM Seems to be a lot of treatment options. Both have had the ablations done. Dad doesn't take blood thinners right now (which is the big worry if you're on them). He does manage it with medication. 27883. judithathome - 2/28/2014 10:35:20 PM I'm not worried at all...I only went because Keoni wanted to hear what I was telling him from the doctor. 27884. iiibbb - 2/28/2014 10:42:00 PM Hasn't slowed my dad or MiL down much. Although we had a scare when she fell while on blood thinners. Dad has had a couple of times where he's had to have his meds adjusted.
Both are diligent keeping up with their pulses so they both know when things are not working right and can get looked at. I think that's the key. Keeping an eye on it. 27885. judithathome - 3/1/2014 2:05:07 AM Just got the call...tests are going to happen Monday morning. 27886. arkymalarky - 3/1/2014 6:01:56 AM hope all goes well. 27887. alistairconnor - 3/6/2014 1:27:29 AM John Travolta called Idina Menzel Adele Dazeem: What's Your Travolta name?

My Travoltified name is "Abigail Crarter"27888. wabbit - 3/7/2014 2:27:34 AM LOL! I am "Maisie Mazzooon". 27889. Iiibbb - 3/12/2014 4:20:00 AM A vent.
My wife puts unreasonable demands on my work. She wants me to get a permanent position, but if I need to travel more than one night she makes a stink. I am going to miss most of an important meeting because I tried to hold off leaving until tomorrow and my flight got cancelled for weather. A reasonable professional would have arrived the night before. Oh well 27890. Trillium - 3/12/2014 7:56:50 PM iiibbb, that's the kind of thing that (good) marriage counselors (sometimes) can help with... you can build up steam over time, when you get torn like that.
My aggravations have been different, but in essence it's the same -- being asked to aim for a particular goal, while other family members would drag back when it came to the details.
A marriage counselor told me that her goal is to teach couples and families to "fight fair". It's an art. 27891. thoughtful - 3/20/2014 3:06:41 PM Some of you may remember me talking about my estranged nephew. I just learned last night that he passed away last Friday at the age of 33. They just said "peacefully in his sleep" but I suspect suicide. So upsetting. He was so young, married less than 2 years.
For the first time since Mom passed away, I'm glad she's gone. Her heart was so broken losing both her husband and son to suicide...as big a heart as she had, she've never been able to cope with the loss of her only grandchild too...
Sometimes you just have to wonder why the world has to be full of so much pain and suffering... 27892. arkymalarky - 3/20/2014 3:21:19 PM Oh my Thoughtful. I'm so sorry. 27893. thoughtful - 3/21/2014 12:19:50 AM Thanks, arky. 27894. Ms. No - 3/21/2014 1:27:23 AM I'm sorry for your loss, T'ful. 27895. thoughtful - 3/21/2014 2:24:16 AM Thanks, MsNo 27896. wabbit - 3/21/2014 2:35:51 AM T'ful, I am so sorry, you have my sincerest condolences. 27897. thoughtful - 3/21/2014 2:22:50 PM Thanks, wabbit.
