[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 683511, member: 20054"] Well...we got our weekly visit again--yes, like a "driveby". This time he was much more obviously impaired, we didn't ask but he said "I had a percocet 1 hr. ago" and goodness knows what else. He was way too talkative, same story, over and over. Who knows what is truth, what is lie. His hand was healing from several deep cuts, long story, thrown out of bar a wk ago after got in fight, cut with his own knife by another guy who was cut also. "Self defense" always is. no charges. He must have tried unsuccessfully to rewrap finger 20 times right in front of us. We did good job of saying "oh" without question or comment on his tale of woe. It seems the ER was unsympathetic and "only gave him 5 norco"--and he has tried to get into specialist all wk and they don't return his calls. go figure. Stated he had finally gotten appointment. for tomorrow. I feel sorry for that Dr's. office unless he's sober when he gets there. He stayed 30min (that was 30 too long), taking some of his things from basement to someplace they are moving this wk. Again, we didn't ask. He finally left after much more foolishness and some anger still saying as he went away "it was self-defense, you don't give a r--t's ass about me" He also told hubby that we don't understand because we don't ever relax (guess that's what going to bar and getting knifed is?) I couldn't get out an I love you but did say be careful, next time it might not just be your hand. He told me "yeah, that's what everyone says". Somehow, I wonder if it was a badge of courage. I actually felt better after he left because he is so messed up I realize it's way out of my hands. Hubby felt worse, seeing him this way, because he was surprised by his own reaction of for the first time not feeling like he even[I] wanted[/I] to hug him. He really was not a person we knew. It makes me cry to say this. Thank you all for listening, it is so helpful to put it in words. [/QUOTE]
