[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 430094, member: 84"] (((hugs))) Rattling those beads and praying hon. I found that focusing on the kids helped me stay both positive and keep the "falling apart" thing down to minimal. And all these years later, it still works. I was also open and honest with my kids over my kidney disease. I did a lot of surgeries, hospitalizations ect and to me it's scarier as a kid to NOT know what's going on (you know the Big Bad Secret thing), than to have it explained in terms they can understand. They don't have to know all the gory details, but yeah. I think that is how I acquired my award winning acting skills. lol Hospital staff would be amazed that I could have "ice cream parties" on my bed with my kids after major surgery, tubes hanging out of me everywhere, kids not phased a bit. (nurses used to spoil them with chocolate ice cream when they'd visit me, we called them ice cream parties lol) I'm glad you have a doctor that is On It and not making you wait to get started on medications. Sounds like a great doctor. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
