Yes, bundle of joy. I will add that not seeing two major abusive narcissists for the past 7 years or and another for 12 years has been heavenly even with the flashbacks, new memories, as well as the hallucinations in a hotel connected to the one whose been dead for 12 years!

Thanks sharyn, I know we all see the warnings and think , that it's a bit exaggerated won't happen to me!!

Like who would think my husband would get a deadly tick bite in March.

Unless you have been warned by someone that's been there it kinda goes in one ear and put the other.

That's what great about this forum!!

I have no clue how people do it, they think nothing of spending money and lots of it , for dinner and movies.

Thank you everyone! Please be careful and don’t make the mistake I did in thinking that otc meds are not as strong as those Rx. Even last year I had a root canal and the dentist told me it was fine to take up to 4 ibuprofen at once. Of course this amount is for a 24 hour time frame. I do wish using naproxen was offered to me sooner. Naproxen is for short term use too. I am not taking it daily. I use ice packs and if my pain gets too much, turn I take a naproxen.

im also having problems with chronic UTIs. I’m taking a low dose antibiotic and every other day an estrogen cream. YAY me, lol!

we have a movie theater hear that has $5.00 Tuesday’s. I take the boys to a movie a couple times a month. Last year I took them to the first movie theater and after paying for the tickets, popcorn and a soda, it cost over $90.00. I thought you have to be kidding me! How do these young families do it.

havea good day everyone!

Good afternoon Sharyn!
Every detail shared could be helpful to others, so thank you for this:

 My recent bloodwork shows minor damage to the kidneys from over and long use of ibuprofen. I am now prescribed naproxen, it apparently is easier on the kidneys. None of these meds are for long term use. I used ibuprofen for a good 8 years.

Good to hear from you, and feeling like you are in good enough spirits and have things handled.

I know that having the time, and the ability to be with the grands is a good life!

Stay in touch!

And, thanks.

Hi Sharyn - Great to hear from you. I know you have had trouble with that hip for a long time. Hope the replacement goes very well. You will be glad to be rid of the chronic pain.once you are healed.

Gosh, those kids are growing up fast!

Glad hubby's service went well. I think you are right about the dementia. It creeps up on one.

Sharyn I am sorry to hear about the kidney problems. Hope it is nothing too serious. Yourlife sounds good. I am happy for that. As we get older peace, and pets seem to be more important. (((((hugs)))) Keep us updated.

Hi everyone, old friends and new!

my grands are 10 now entering 5 th grade in August. I don’t see them daily and that they are out for summer break, I can plan some things to do once a week. I am limited on what we can do together because of my chronic pain.

the chronic pain is a result of bone on bone in the right hip socket. A hip replacement is planned for august. My recent bloodwork shows minor damage to the kidneys from over and long use of ibuprofen. I am now prescribed naproxen, it apparently is easier on the kidneys. None of these meds are for long term use. I used ibuprofen for a good 8 years.

my husbands service was on April 11. My brother in law and sister in law as well as once niece and great nephews came out from California. It was a beautiful service with a chaplain reading scripture, US Army presented me a folded flag, medallion and 3 spent shells from the 3 gun salute by the VFW.

I believe my husband had dementia that caused his accident. After having COVID, he was struggling paying bills. He either did not pay them or he over paid. My husband would not discuss money or bills. It is apparent he was struggling. My son found a gun holster and a 20 inch long sword attached behind his headboard area. His guns were in the gun gun safe. My son and brother in law took the guns.

my life is quiet, peaceful and full of 4 pets I take care of as well as rearranging my house the best I can with chronic pain. Most things will be done after my hip replacement and healing.

Best wishes to everyone and i hope summer is good for everyone.

Already feeling this morning like nothing I can or will do for them will be enough. They are grateful in the moment, but there's always more to do. Always more to sift through. Always more pain to complain about. I'm feeling resentful of my time being taken from me and angry that they didn't do more to set themselves up for a less crashing decline. Just plugging away, blinders on, doing what needs to be done all while seeing the mess in their kitchen and the sticky floors and the unmade bed that is now my responsibility is wearing me down today and it's not even 10 am.
