I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
pamz - I wouldn't be surprised if she did it on purpose - aaaargh!!!
invoice doesn't even have the correct prescribing physician
I am also struggling with several issues tht I don''t know if are stress, depression or what.
GOOD NEWS: I finally accepted I need help, and decided to see a psychiatrist.
BAD NEWS: Looked at the list, saw one I like, very good reviews, walking distance from me, pick up the phone:
"I'd like to see dr. Blah-blah. It would be my first time."
"Sure. Would you pay cash or through health insurance?"
"Health insurance. I have EverythingyouOwnandYourFirstBornMed."
"Ok, For that plan, the earliest we can have you is september."
...
If I said I'd pay cash, I probably could see the doctor next week. Oh, well. At least, is a start.
Damn Cancer!
Could you possibly pay cash for a first visit and then use insurance to pay all other visits?
Everybody have a good day, and stay safe from the many storms if you are in the area of danger. So many tornados this year.
" My mother always asks how I'm feeling, and when I remind her that I'm struggling she always responds with " but you're Ok, aren't you?" I'm whining because one day I'm going to say "No, I'm Not OK!!" what should I say, nicely to let her know that this question really, really annoys me? "
Oh NOO! Never tell her what bothers you! Make sure you keep your thoughts private, because she will for sure do whatever it is that annoys you, just to annoy you, or maybe because she is incapable of it. I speak from experience.
My mom is narcissistic, and I repeatedly ask her not to do certain things.... only a couple of them, and it seems then like she does them on purpose. Narcissists have no empathy and absolutely cannot understand how someone else feels. I know this, but sometimes I lose patience and get upset anyway.
Email from my volunteer co-ordinator on Monday - could I help out at the cancer unit on Friday morning because it's always a busy clinic and one of the two volunteers who normally do it is away.
[Thinks not so keen on mornings, grumble rhubarb, but] yes, fine, of course I'll be happy to help.
Thank you so much! says volunteer co-ordinator. By the way, the other volunteer can't make it either now, sorreee.
I think I've been had.
What do I say to her? Do I say "hey I don't blame you for not wanting to leave your paradise to visit this awful place we all live in". I actually had a good morning until I was reminded multiple times that I live in an awful place. Sometimes I wonder why I am so thin skinned when it comes to this old friend.
Thanks for letting me blow off steam. It sure put a damper on what started to be a good day...
My parents have money. I suggested a residence hospice that only has 10 beds and is expensive. Dad doesnt want to pay, she has her own money but its like in an ira fund thing (i know lol) worth atm 140k plus she has saving and pension money . He said he wont cash it in because of taxes. Its her money some how he has charge of all her money.
He finally agreed to this place. Her busybody friend called him and told him hospice is free and this private place is trying to screw him.
So now we are all fighting again.
