Feeling very overwhelmed ...

but too totally exhausted and blank to do anything about it.
I have been teetering on the edge of low all day, not really sure what is going on. I ate, waited to bolus, duel waved my boluses .... and still ...

I had to take my father to the doctor today ... complete and utter frustration!! Both with him, and the neurologist. Apparently my "social situation" meaning my family and the fact no one will deal with or help me deal with the situation with my dad, leaves me with the choice thus far of .... a court order to put him in a home. I will not do that .... sorry. So he will remain in the apartment until something happens..... question is ... who is it going to happen to first??

I am too tired to get down and dirty tonight. But .... I am having doubts.

Maggie is barking at me ... I will rethink and check in later. The trip is a go. I should know more in a day or so.

Thanks to all who have been a constant of support!!!
My emotional state really has depended on it!!

Peace and Love

  5. LOL ... you three are too much. I am now sitting here balling!!! I am just so tired, exhausted, and i know that it is all emotional exhaustion at this point. You have all been, Briget is a kick-ass cheerleader!! Hillary and I are both at burn out phase. I know I have worked to hard to pull this off, and with so much support, except from my own siblings, and my father could care less. He is only concerned with himself and that is so wearing me down. I have every intention of having my ass in SF by Saturday night. I will post as things progress. Monday is the consent meeting with the "team" and is to take 2-3 hours. Any questions or concerns I may not have thought of .... ???? Seeing as I can't seem to think straight. I am looking forward to the rest, and am glad that I will have help with the drive.

    Thanks again girls!! I so appreciate your kick in the ass ... keeping me in line and on track. I know deep down that this is all good and I have faith that it is going to work for me. Just this one last hurdle.

    Ann - THANK YOU!! For the raffle ticket donation ... Hilly thinks you are going to win!!! I will send along a formal thank you this weekend as I sit quietly on the ocean.

    LOVE YOU ALL!!

  7. Hi!
    More greeting from Florida. I'm a new blog/facebook friend of Bee and Meg. I'm a former MA girl!

    I was a lab tech for 22 years and come from a long line of relatives with Type II diabetes.

    I'm joining in to wish you much success with your treatment. I'm sure this is a very emotional time, as well as physical. I'll be thinking of you this weekend and as you continue with the transplant.
