Rabbit Update - The Sequel

[bk_forever]

So, new update. I just spoke to vetinary nurse Rhiannon, and Misty is out of surgery and awake. They're coaxing him to nibble some food and things are looking reasonably good. He's staying there another night so they can keep a close eye on him, just to be on the safe side, but I'm to phone at 9am tomorrow and hopefully he'll be well enough to come home then. I'll let you know when he's home.

Thank you to everyone for your hugs, good wishes, thoughts and prayers, you've helped me get through two very stressful, worrying days. I'm blessed to have so many great, animal-loving friends, you're the best!

Oh! *Slaps self in Forehead* I understand! Yes, he is a daft thing! I must use that word "daft" somehow. I think that is another British word? I heard it used in the movie "Nodding Hill" (one of my favorite movies) when Spike called (Huge Grant's character) a "daft prick!" lol! oops! sorry....it was just so funny!...he called him that for not taking (Julia Roberts') character back when she came to apologize for how badly she had ended things between them again. The goofy looking guy that played Spike just cracked me up! He was so awful at times, but in the end he got it! He knew what true love was and how important it was even though he seemed so crasp and ridiculous at times....I think I really digressed that time......

Yes that is unusual, your weather I mean, ours is usually hottest in July and August too. May sometimes is still rather nice here anyway.

[bk_forever]

British weather has just gone wonky the past few years, I've given up trying to figure out what to expect. Today was supposed to be sunny and dry, but I got rained on.

I've never watched Notting Hill - I guess partly because it's a romance set in London. I'm not big on romantic movies really. Don't know if 'daft' is a British word, could be I guess. It's a good one anyway! Probably not used enough. It's a word I can imagine Ianto using, maybe calling Jack a daft sod, lol!

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

"Daft" may not be strictly a British word, I know this because I forgot the name of my favorite movie was "Notting Hill" not "Nodding" Hill! LOL! *dies of embarrassment*! I AM an idoit sometimes! lol! I guess it was just the way the guy said it that made me laugh with the British accent. I wish I knew how your voice sounded. I bet it is pretty. I know you don't live in London, I forgot again, though if you remember I kept notes! lol! I actually have a folder with the emails or links to the posts where you told me where you lived. I need to find out again and see where you are on a map. It is driving me crazy tonight! All I can remember right now is that you said you lived near (I think?)...a forest, Shirewood (spelling)..like in Robin Hood. I hope I am anywhere near right on that one! Yes I am in a weird mood right now. I am in pain, but strangely not depressed at this moment which is always amazing. For me to feel good emotionally anytime is always a blessing from God.

How can you not like romances?! lol! Is it because it is set in London or you are just more a sci-fi/fantasy fan? I like a lot of different stuff I guess. Hey! Jsck and Ianto is romance in a wicked way. lol! I will always see them together/ Ianto alive and all the rest of the team. The only one I didn't care about much was Susie, but we never really got to know her so....? Also, she was horrible when they brought her back to life. I'm not a huge fan of Gwen, but it was horrible what Susie did, letting Gwen die or she would have died if not for Tosh, I think, shooting the glove that linked them together or was it Ianto who destroyed it? I didn't like that episode much. I blame the writers for me turning against Gwen. They confused me to death. How can you write a character as caring, but at the same time she is hard? Well I have been on that soapbox before...

back to the word daft again, yes I think it is a very funny word too, and I love the word "git" as a noun. It was used to describe Spike at one point in the movie. So funny. It is actually quite funny, not all serious. It was just one of those, well to Michael and me, very special date-movies. We never get tired of watching it. I still watch romantic comedies when they put out some good ones. Seems like there have been less and less really "good" ones over maybe the last 10 years. I collected some really good ones on VHS tapes back in the mid, late 80's and some in the 90's too. I think they ran out of good ideas now. Also they had actors in them I loved who are around my age now probably or older. I know so little about the younger ones now which I have meantued in a lot of posts already I know. lol! I am into the "Twiight" movies about modern day vampires and werewolfs? Have you seen them. I think there is one left we are waiting to see.

I'm sorry, three hours sleep last night must have set off a manic talky mood swing + feeling better made me write 2 books in one post. It is 12:30 a.m. here and I have to be up in nine hours. I better sleep tonight or tomorrow is going to be another rough day for me.

love you!
Deb.*a bit ditsy and too hard on herself*

Edited for the part of about the TW glove being destoryed. I wasn't clear.

[bk_forever]

No, I'm not from London but my parents both are (or were, since dad died). They moved up to the Midlands after they married, but the never lost their accents - not Cockney accents or anything like that, just middle-class London. Growing up with them, I never got a local accent, though my sister did a bit. I got made fun of at school for how I talk.

We live about 4 miles outside Nottingham, which is our nearest city. There's no countrycide between us and the city do I guess it's fair to say we're part of Nottingham's suburban sprawl. We're near enough bang in the middle of England, which is okay I guess, but it's always meant to me thst the coast is a long way away no matter which direction you go.

I've never been a fan of romance on its own - its fine if it's an element in a bigger story, but I guess
I've never been the 'date movie' kind of person. The films I remember going to see on dates were 'Airplane', one of the Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers, 'Silver Dream Racer' (motor cycle racing movie with David Essex), and 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'. None of them can be classed as romantic, lol! I've always been a sci-fi/action movie fan, I'm not really very girly, I played with cars when I was little and hated dolls. I still read sci-fi, fantasy and horror novels, and prefer those genres in film and TV. I love things like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon too. And martial arts movies. hat's just the way 've always been. I loved Torchwood becauise it was sci-fi, the Jack/Ianto romance was a bonus and I liked it because they never made a huge deal of it, it wasn't the focus of everything but it was good to see how it developed in the background to the main stories.

I did like Suzie, better than Gwen - she was an interesting character. nd anyway, it was Gwen's idiocy that got her nearly drained of life. Suzie was a known serial killer who already nearly killed Gwen once, but Gwen went off her her alone on a road trip. Stupid, brainless woman deserved what she got, she's the one who insisted on using the glove in the first place, over her boss's objections. nd yeah, osh shot the glove, I think Ianto threw her the gun.

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

Another old post...I'll catch up someday! Sorry, it got long.

I loved Airplane the movie! So much fun. The movie industry went through a time where they were making a lot of spoof movies. I saw a lot of them, mostly saw them on cable TV when we got it when I was around 12 years. I did see some at the theater. One I loved had Val Kilmer in it. It was called "Top Secret." It was hysterical! I know I saw it with my best friend at the time, Norma, at a dollar theater. Can you believe there ever was a time when we could see a movie for one dollar?! I'm not sure how much that is in pounds, but I can tell you it is cheap, can't buy much of anything for that anymore.

Oh my! I have "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" on a VHS tape. That was a really good and to me scary movie. Nurse Rachet, no one will ever forget her! She was horrible! lol! Of course Jack Nickelson was incredible, he is one of my favorite actors still. I've seen some of those crazy "Pink Panther" movies when I was younger. I could never get into the Die Hard movies, my brother loved those. lol!...but I did really get into a lot of movies Bruce Willis did after those. He is not the most handsome guy in the world, but there is something about him I really like. Have you ever seen "Shattered"? You must see it. It is in a way a superhero movie without the cool costumes. He was also in the one with a little boy, you know where the kid said "I see dead people." lol! I loved that movie, it was either up for an Oscar or won it, I can't remember. I did really get into the Leathal Weapon movies. I watched all of them, but then again what "breathing" heterosexual female didn't love Mel Gibson! I have seen most of his movies. Some I have on tape and DVD. Not into martial arts, but I did love the stuff they did in "The Matrix" movies. So cool!

Oh this is so cool! You maybe a little like my girlfriend, Norma, I mentioned. We practically grew up together. We met when I was in first grade and she was in kindergarten and we lived on the same street. I lived a few houses up the hill from her. We went to the same schools and hung out together as teenagers. She still lives in town. When I got married we lost touch except for a short talk on "Facebook" back last year I think. We should get together, but with my pain problem, I just don't know. I always was the weird, screwed-up one. She always liked me though. She was the tomboy, not girly at all. She loved to play sports and talk to the boys more than the girls, but as friends. She didn't date much. Poor thing had a weight problem so dumbass, immture boys that they were, never asked her out, but loved having her as someone to talk to usually about "their" girlfriends. Nothing fair about that. Norma has a pretty face, hair, and a very good heart. She has the best sense of humor, she kept me laughing all the time. She's very smart too, she made A's mostly in highschool and loved to read all the time. I hope she finally found someone who loves her. I was the girly one, wearing pink clothes all the times, into doing my hair and make-up a lot...though we got together every now and then and would paint our fingernails and give ourselves facials. So she did care about some of the girly grooming stuff. lol!

Continuing huge long post on the next one:.....I will just reply to your same post again. (THEY CUT ME AGAIN!) LOL!

[bk_forever]

Glad you had such a great friend growing up - hopefully once you get the vulvodynia under control, you can get in toch with her and catch up!

Oh, I know, Mel Gibson is gorgeous! I've adored Bruce Willis since he was in the Moonlighting series with Cybill Shepherd - I loved that series. I've got season 1 on DVD now, still got to get the rest. It still makes me laugh!

Also love Jack Nicholson - One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is the only film I've been to see twice at the cinema - once with my then boyfriend Alan, just before my 18th birthday, and once with my friend Julie, just after we both turned 18. I have it on DVD, it's a brilliant movie but heartbreaking and scary too.

I've never seen Shattered I don't think, unless it goes under a different title here. Actually, it might do if it's by the guy who wrote The Sixth ense, but I can't remember the title, which is silly... Oh, I think it's called Unbreakable, if that's the same one then it's totally brilliant!

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

I'm STUpid!!!! I knew that didn't sound right! Yes, "Unbreakable" is the Bruce Willis movie I loved. Where is my brain?! ...and that's it! The Sixth Sense! I really love it too!

love deb*hiding her face*

[bk_forever]

I won a boxed set of three movies - Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense and the one with Mel Gibson and aliens in a cornfield (Can't remember the title) in a masgazine competition years ago. The competion was, you had to give a witty explanation for crop circles - I said they were made by fairies trying to update their image, and I won! I was so pleased! They're three really great movies. I don't often win things, and I'm usually useless at those slogan-type competitions, but the magazine people thought it was funny so I got the prize =) that was so long ago though. Can't remember the last competition I entered.

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

Very old post.

That is hysterical! You won! You're very creative. lol! Yes I love that Mel Gibson movie about the crop circles. I have that on DVD too, too lazy to get up and look for it. I just remember at the end with one of them holding a bat while this alien was holding the young boy with some kind of gas to kill him with, and the other saying "Swing away!" lol! Oh that was the coolest movie! I love all three of those. I rarely ever win anything either so I know how you feel. :D

I read on LJ that "The Avengers" are suppose to be coming out in the states in Sept., not sure if I read when in the UK. on bluray DVD. I can't wait! There is going to be an extended version which I definitely want! I am dying to finally get to watch it at home with my family. I really hated the seats we got at the theater. Sadly I still haven't uploaded an avenger icon. I need to do that.

[bk_forever]

*bounces with excitement* Hopefully The Avengers will be out over here at around the same time, or not long after. I'm saving coins so I can buy it when it comes out. Might check in our local shop and find out when, I might pre-order it. So looking forward to seeing it!

The Avengers

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my naughty husband downloaded a bluray copy for us to watch tomorrow night I hope. We want Alex to watch with us. He slept through the best part of it when we saw it at the theaters. I am still buying it though in Sept., the 25th I believe. Someone said they were getting it in August somewhere else, not sure if it was the UK or not. You are going to love it!!! I can't wait until tomorrow night!

Michael and Alex are asleep. It is 10:30 p.m. here and I feel alone and depressed. I slept in too late today though I feel tired all the time these days. I may see if I can sleep, but it just seeems too early for me. How am I ever going to survive without meds for my Bipolar disorder?...I know one night I just cried and I'm not even sure it was from the physical pain, I think it was my moods. Of course I was on my period too. Just too much crap to deal with and it overwhelmed me I guess.

I wish I wrote happier stuff more! lol! Something has got to change. I have to call the VA. where I have my insurance. I found these people that do V acupunture in town, but they don't file insurance and it cost $130.00 for the first visit, paid in full! If I do that we will have little money left for the month to eat on and whatever else. Even if my insurance would pay for some of it, I would have to wait for reimbursement and I have no idea how long that will take. + Each additional visit is $80.00 in full. It is because it is not a standard Western medicine is what Michael thinks. I'm sure a lot of insurance companies won't pay for it. :(
I was so depressed I went back to sleep, then with Alex and his homework + dinner, I forgot to call them. I will tomorrow and let you know what happened. I have a bad feeling about it though.

My body is rebelling against most medications. I just don't know what I am suppose to do and we have so much debt, I can't afford medical treatment that is not paid for by my insurance company.

Shutting up now..... 0_O

Re: The Avengers

[bk_forever]

I'll just hope and pray that your insurance will cover it - after all, the other, more usual treatments are making you worse because of the welts and swelling. Surely if they saw how you're being affected they'd have to make you an exception to the rule. Of course, insurance companies are seldom kind like that. Good luck with the phone call!

I'm really excited about the Avengers I've tried to avoid too many spoilers, so I have no idea about the plot or anything, I just know I really want to see it! I want to see the Captain America film too, don't know if that's out on DVD yet. I really must check. I didn't have time last time I was at the shops.

*hugs tight* Love, J xxxx

Re: The Avengers

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

Captain America has been available here since last year sometime. I know because I bought the DVD. for my brother last Christmas. I've seen it, but honestly can't remember much about it. I LOVE the Avengers though and I loved the movie "Thor". You really need to see Thor if you haven't because then you know the back story of Thor and his brother Loki who is in "The Avengers" too. Since I loved Thor so much and barely remember Captain America, I think Thor was probably the better movie, but then again everyone is different in what they like. I should watch CAmerica again before judging, I guess I just got a thing for Thor! OH BABY!! He's gorgeous! lol! And I really love Tony Stark/Ironman! He is hysterical! I've always loved Robert Downey Jr. anyway and he is perfect as Ironman. I have seen all the Ironman movies they've done so far and loved them too. At first I didn't think I would, but I watch them again and loved them. I guess because Tony is so stuck on himself, I got the wrong idea about him. I had been used to the Spiderman/Superman boy next door type heroes if that makes sense. Tony is downright wicked sometimes...kind of has the Ianto sense of humor except Tony is not as quiet & proper as Ianto. lol! I make no sense.

I called my insurance company and as I guested, they don't cover acupunture. I called the doctors back today and somehow one of the acupuncturist picked up the phone, his name is Bret. Anyway, I told him what happened and I couldn't afford to pay and needed him to cancel next Tuesday's appointment. He stopped me and said that if I would like to come in anyway, he would talk to me and give me the treatments, I think free, he said as part of a research project. I was shocked, happy, and a little worried, (I hope this guy knows what he is doing, how to treat this and all.) He said they have treated women with my problem before so I'm sort of confused. Maybe he is just being nice saying it is for his research. Michael said he is probably trying to help, but also figures he will get paid some money from me especially if this works. This is a well known place so I don't think he's a quack. I wanted to cry. I am praying that God is answering a prayer and that this guy really does care and I won't go bankrupt trying to get some pain relief. Maybe he is trying to further his career too. I don't know. He sounded really nice though. He said at first that he would talk to me over the phone first, but we ended up talking today, I wouldn't shut-up.....imagine that....... *evil grin*
So I see him Tues. afternoon. Finally I "will" be getting stuck, I hope, lol! with needles. It takes at least 2 sessions I read for it to work. Bret said he would see me once a week for 4 weeks. Four treatments and then a month break and we will see what happens. Wow! I hate getting my hopes up too high, they have been crashed so many times, but I need some kind of hope to hold onto.

love ya!
Deb. :)

Re: The Avengers

[bk_forever]

I am beyond excited for you, I really hope this works! The acupuncturist sounds like a good person, and even if he's slready treated people for the same or similar conditions it could still be legitimate research, I don't know how these things work. *hugs* All the luck in the world!

I adore the first Iron Man movie - haven't seen the second yet. i really need to get both on DVD, as well as Captain America, The Avengers and Thor! How could I have forgotten about Thor? I guess because like the others, I haven't seen it yet. Really need to get lots of DVDs! Then I need to find time to watch them, lol!

*hugs tight* Good luck at your appointment! Love ya, J xxxx

Re: The Avengers

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

It maybe legitimate research since there is probably more than one way acupunture is done as in the needles may have to be put in a different place depending where the pain is in each woman? Just guessing. I will know more once I talk with Bret again. Thank you! I need the luck.

Yes the Ironman movies are so good. I know I watched them both and I have heard they are making a third one. I don't know when it will be out though. I hope you get them all on DVD. soon. They are so much fun! :)

I love Thor because in the movie about him and his father and brother Loki, "Loki" is very important in "The Avengers," you get to watch how Thor grows and changes. I won't give anything away. He also just happens to be gorgeous and loyal, and also at times very funny in The Avengers. The Hulk is great too, if I didn't mention him before. Really fantastic!

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

Cont.from last post talking about my friend, Norma. I messed up the first time I posted this one, ignore that one if you got it in your email. I bet you are confused now. lol!

I became anorexic at age 15/16 years old and I know she was jealous of me, but I didn't really want that and I certainally did not want her to feel bad about her weight. When she was in pain, she used food to medicate herself whereas I avoided extra calories at all cost to deal with my pain. I remember feeling so weak walking up steps. People think you are being vain, but that is not true, in fact I hated myself more then than ever before. No matter how much weight I lost, in my mind, I was still huge and didn't understand why Norma thought that she was overweight though I know she was now. Hard to explain, I liked my bones showing because I got attention "finally" someone knew I was alive, but I also knew I looked grotesque. (I was very sweet and "very" shy.) I only got down to about 92 pounds, but I read after I recovered, of girls in the 80's, 70's and lower. I actually thought at one point, I must not have really had the illness since I couldn't even make it down to 85 pounds. I'm 5 foot 3 and a-half so I thought I could have lost some more. I was really sick. My clothes just hung off me and more than once I had to buy new clothes in smaller sizes. I can't believe I had a pair of 3/4 stretch blue jeans at my lowest weight, but of course I was "still" fat! lol! Why did I get off on all that. Sorry. Not sure I have ever told you any of that before.

Getting off that, I knew it was either Tosh or Ianto that shot the glove! I'm glad Ianto helped at least. lol! Yeah, Gwen's an idoit that is for sure. I guess I need to watch that show again. I forgot that it was Gwen's idea to take Suzie and leave.

love Deb*blabbering too much*
:)

[bk_forever]

I never thought i was overweight, but at my worst I dropped to just under 5 stone (not sure what that is in pounds, but I was terribly thin. I still am thin, but I weigh over 6 1/2 stone now, which is much better. I was just having stomach problems all the time and eating made me feel ill. IBS can be crippling, and with my addiction to tranquilizers, I just couldn't seem to care. I was still classed as anorexic though, and that's caused problems since as many doctors assume I was trying to lose weight, when I never was, I just gave up because no one was taking my stomach problems seriously. Whatever the cause, anorexia is a terrible thing and I'm so proud of both of us that we had the strength to fight back against it and recover as well as we have.

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

OH my Gosh!!! Michael just looked it up and you weigh 84 pounds now! You are still very underweight I would think unless you are are about 4 ft. tall. Eat something girl! lol! I'm 138 pounds at the moment. I just looked it up and it says 140 pounds = 10 stone so that is about me right now unless I gain it back again. I would like to be 130 pounds again. 9 stones = 126 lbs. so I want to be between 9 and 10 stone I guess. I would take 9 stone though, no problem. lol!

I think your type of anorexia is different from my kind, but I am glad you got better. I was not sick from food, I was just terriified of being fat which in my mind was weighing more than about 6 and 1/2 stone. I felt I "had" to stay below a 100 pounds which is a little more than 7 stone.

Yes, it was a hard road to walk, but I finally was able to let myself eat again, healthy as much as I could and exercise while keeping my weight in the right range for my height. :) I was so scared watching the numbers go higher on my scale everyday. I didn't understand that I was not healthly at those low weights, but I did realize finally that if I kept on lossing weight, there would be no way back and I would probably die like a lot of girls with anorexia at the time.

[bk_forever]

Not quite that short, but I am only 5ft tall. I should way around 7 1/2, but because of the stomach problems I probably never will get up to that weight. I'd be happy if I could get up to 7 or just over, that would be about where I was before I lost weight. I think I've done pretty well to put on as much weight as I have, considering the problems I have, but it's always an uphill struggle. Putting on weight for me is very difficult, but I lose it quickly if I'm not well or having a bad patch where I can't eat much. We're fighters and survivors though, so we're both doing good! *hugs*

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

I am 5'3 and a-half and I have always wondered why I didn't make it to 5'4. My Mom was 5'5, but I think she has shrunk some now. lol! My Dad's Mom was 4'11 so I guess genetics were against me being a little taller. Clothes in petite sizes don't fit except skirts because the Misses size skirts are way too long most of the time. It is so difficult to find pants and shorts to fit my short inseam. I way digressed here!...anyway you are not that much shorter than I and I understand about your struggle to gain weight. I didn't mean anything bad. I know you see your body the proper way and wanted to be healthy. It must suck to go through so many stomach problems, the pain and discomfort. I can't eat if my stomach gets like that and you had it practically all the time, you poor thing. :( I'm so glad you've gotten better with better medications. I had no stomach problems as a teenager, maybe occasionally, but not like now. I just looked in the mirror and saw this chubby girl looking back at me at age 15 and I was terribly alone and depressed that summer, so then something just snapped in me and I started eating less and dancing to music in my room. I danced off every small meal I had. I never really thought I would lose weight, but it made me feel strong to resist hunger. At first I was ok, a little weight loss was good, but then I became so afraid of gaining it back that is when I became anorexic. Anorexia Nervous truly became known I think when Karen Carpenter died from it at age 32. Strangely enough, she died at the same time I was diagnosed with the eating disorder. What I had was a psychological disorder. When you feel like your life is out of control, the one thing you can control is how much food you put in your mouth. It is weird, but probably kept me from killing myself though I always thought later that it was a slow form of suicide. Thankfully, eventually I read about it and Karen and realized I was sick and I had to fight my crazy thoughts that one bite of food would make me gain 20 pounds and start eating again, slowly. I was lucky, some girls have to go into Eating disorder clinics/hospitals to even start to get better. I was determined to do it on my own, and that was the begining of out-patient help from Psychiatrists and antidepressans. Enough about that, I could write a book about that part of my life. I hope that made sense, I'm tired, in pain, and not thinking clearly.

Yeah since my latest problem I have lost a total of 12 pounds, that was over a 6 month period. Stopping all those medications which tend to make me hold onto weight + the horrible stress and worrying from everything has caused me to lose, in fact lately I feel hungry a lot, but just don't want food all that much. I went to sleep hungry last night. I just didn't care. I think I eat more when I am happier though I must say chocolate is still my friend when I feel bad. lol!...probably why I haven't lost even more weight. I was 136 pounds one day, but it came back. :OP

I'm so tired and better try to sleep. I hope I can; I am afraid to take a pain pill tonight because of the swelling and the welts I had yesterday morning. It's 3:03 in the morning here, but I slept into the afternoon yesterday so I knew I wouldn't sleep early tonight.

love,
Blabbering Deb.

Well, I'm better with the new meds but I still have more bad days than good. It's always going to be an uphill struggle.

I'm so proud of you the way youi puleed yourself back and got eating again! You have a lot to be proud of, it proves what a strong woman you are. That's why I know you'll beat these latest problems. i believe in you! *hugs tight* Love you loads! J xxx

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did not know you had more bad days than good ones still. See! You need to complain more like me! No, seriously I'm sorry you have so much pain. You should tell me about it more if it helps. Lord knows I whine enough to you about all my junk! O_O

Well, I know I got through the eating disorder, but I have never had to deal with anything this painful in my life and I don't feel I am handling things too well. I am always losing my temper and patience with my son and sometimes he cries. I feel so bad and tell him I'm sorry, Mommy feels bad...but that is no excuse for me snapping at him.

I hope you feel better. You're strong too. You've lived with so much physical pain since you were very young if I remember correctly. I admire how you have hung in there. :)

{{hugs you back tight}}

love,

Deb.

[bk_forever]

*hugs* Never been much of a complainer, too stoic I guess! Plus, years and years and years, so I get bored talking about my problems, I prefer to just chat and try to forget about them! LJ takes my mind off things, lol!

I had fun yesterday, despite feeling a bit crap, sorting through my crystals, trying to find some that might help (there are more different kinds than you can imagine!) I was sitting on the floor in my room, surrounded by boxes and bags and piles of crystals and my crystal books - I felt like a dragon surveying its hoard! I'll try to get to the post office this week to post what I've found. I'm putting a little something in for Alex too. Does he have a favourite colour?

*hugs tight* Love, J xxxxx

Stoic? lol! Trying to imagine you like that. Funny. :)

Alex's favorite color is red. He used to love yellow when he was around 3 years old and now he loves red. He's fickle.

Thank you for going through the stones for me. You don't have to do that you know, but I do love the stones! I wish the one I had for pain would do something. lol! I am cramping on my period now and I can't take "anything" for the pain! I tell you I am cursed! I have always, until now, been able to take aspirin, Advil, any kind of pain medicine and have become allergic to them too because I didn't know if you take any medicine while you are having an allergic reaction to another one, your body can become allerigic to it. It seems from what I just read that I am now prbably allergic to all antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and N-SAIDS (Advil, Aleve, etc.) This is a bad dream that I can't wakeup from. I tried a heating pad for cramps, but it didn't help much + the heat bothers my hives. :( Oh tell me to shut-up!

I can just picture you sitting there with a thousand crystals all around you...and your books. LOL! Hysterical! :) You're a good friend.

Love Deb.

I'm glad I made you laugh, I was hoping to - laughter is good medicine!

Just looked up menstrual cramps in my crystal prescriptions book and it suggests Chrysocolla, Citrine, Infinite Stone, Jet, Labradorite, Lapis Lazuli, Magnesite, Rose Quartz, Topaz and Pearl - even I haven't got some of those. Still you have Rose Quartz, and Black Obsidian is general pain relief, so try those for now, I'll shove a couple extras from the list in with what I've already collected. Good job I haven't wrapped them yet!

I well remember the misery of cramps, I used to get them so badly (hence the hysterectomy), Heat helped, but in hot weather it was pure misery because the heat gave me a heat rash. I wish I could suggest something to ease the pain.
