Depression is so disabling and with all the bad things happening to you it must be really hard to fight back. I'm praying that your get a break and some good Luck soon. Judith Thank you, Judith. You are right; I just get to a point where all I can do is feel bewildered and sit and cry. Well, last week it would have been nice. But no, the electric got shut off. I spent nearly 8 hours on the phone between the electric company and my doctor's office because I had applied for a medical certification, and it got ignored in my doctor's office. I couldn't breathe by the time I talked to them the last time, and I think that's what did it, because in a rush, it was sent through and approved, and the power was back on within two hours. I think the fact that I was starting to have trouble breathing without the air conditioning made the clinic think "Lawsuit". Who knows? But, just another day in my life, it seems like. Ginger-lyn Yeah, I know, I'm whining |

Thank you (and I'd give you a kiss if you were here) {{{{{{{{{{{{Adrian}}}}}}}}}}}} for remembering my birthday, and thank you to all who responded. I send purrs and prayers and share laughter and smiles where they are appropriate. My depression has deepened to a point where it is hard to function. And I am *on* antidepressants. My old doctor graduated, so I guess I should see what the new one says. I managed the last week of June to somehow break and/or sprain my left ankle. Badly, of course. They put me on Dilaudid, and with all my other meds, about all I could do was sleep until I stopped taking it. The ER docs said there was a piece of bone floating around my ankle, so it was a fracture; the P.A. at the orthopedics clinic said (without looking at it) it was a very bad fracture. Wish they'd make up their minds! Before that, I managed to fall and mess up my rotator cuff. So I'm now in physical therapy for two things at once. Found a "wheelie" walker for $8 at Goodwill; helps me to not fall down. Friday I applied for SSI and was promptly told I wasn't eligible. Richard's 1/2 paycheck is about $50 over their limit. So I was turned down immediately after waiting since filing in January to hear from them. My landlord has turned out to be an ass, which is just what I need. He has ordered the mowers not to mow my half of the yard at *all*. Not just the garden, but everything. I am so sick of people like this I could scream. My gas will probably get shut off soon; my vet's slightly irritated at my bill; I'm on a 30-day medical for the electric; I'm two months behind on my rent, and I am ready to throw myself in front of a bus. No, wait a minute -- that's Richard's line whenever I talk to him. Every conversation lately ends with "I'm gonna throw myself in front of a bus and you can get the insurance money which is all you really want anyway." His own mother told me not to call him if he's going to be that way. So I won't. I have an excuse for my bad memory now: I got diagnosed today with fibromyalgia. Always knew I had it; just never had the doctor finally say so. So I'm hopping around on one foot, trying not to overuse one shoulder, hurting from head to toe, and trying to feed 11 cats. Yes, I said 11. She is NOT NOT NOT staying. She is lost, and I am going to find her home or get her to a shelter. She's a calico, with the attitude to match. Gorgeous green eyes and a very weird meow. She's stuck in R's old room for now, which is hot, but I can't afford to get her checked out at the vet. Most days, I do feel suicidal. But the cats need me, so I keep trying to hack away at whatever help I can get, whatever I can do, to get things moving. I felt so bad I gave myself a birthday party on the 12th. Seven people came. It was a cookout. It rained the entire time. My MiL and a friend of her son's were helping me with groceries last week. Two of the cats (ShadowCat and Internet) managed to bolt out the door. I, in my condition, managed somehow to jump off the porch and grab enough of each of them to get them back inside. Sorry guys for crying on your shoulders. I wish I could say things are turning around and going great, but that hasn't happened -- yet. I keep hoping. That's the news from here, or at least some of it (I don't have the patience to read long posts anymore, either -- lol). Hope you are all well, and I will try to check in more often between my disasters. Love, Ginger-lyn e-mail: glsummer AT moonsummmer DOT com Happy belated, Matthew! Hope yours was great. My doctor graduated (he was a resident), so I have a new doctor I haven't seen yet. I have an appointment this week (or next? I forget), so I will see what he says. Ginger-lyn |

As usual, I am concerned with how much you tend to fall and seriously injure yourself. I'm surprised that no doctor has been able to find out any reason for that. Maybe your new doctor will have a better idea of where to look? I hope so. I'm thinking an ENT is my next specialist, to see if it's an ear problem, since that is related to balance. Ha, you and Abelard. Well, I hope it's something that simple. (Maybe I shouldn't say that, since I don't know how easy it is to treat inner-ear problems. But I'm thinking, better than than a neurological thing.) They mowed over my special lillies that you just can't get anywhere; my neighbor shared some of hers that she got from another neighbor. I got upset. I screamed at them and threatened to sue and told them I wanted $20. You can tell how close to the edge I am right now. Only from the screaming. I think it's reasonable to ask for money for damaging your flowers. I e-mailed the landlord; we finally talked; he came over. He was nasty, didn't make sense, acted like *I* was the one with the problem, and it was just generally really bad. ... Since then, the lawn idjits have been here at least three times and have not mowed my yard at all. They told my neighbor that the landlord (actually the manager; he's the landlord's son) told them NOT to mow my side at all. Actually, I do understand that. It's not nice, but I think the landlord is just trying to avoid future problems. Of course, it sucks that now you have an overgrown yard. And he obviously doesn't want to try to solve the problem in any real way. Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Ginger-Lyn, it is good to "hear your voice." Very gentle hugs to you and
many scritches to your kitties. Charleen "Ginger-lyn" wrote in message ... jmcquown wrote: wrote: Ginger-lyn wrote: My depression has deepened to a point where it is hard to function. And I am *on* antidepressants. My old doctor graduated, so I guess I should see what the new one says. [snip] Ugh, Ginger-lyn, I'm really sorry things are so incredibly difficult! There seems to be no end to how high sh*t can be piled. So many of these problems are either directly caused, or are made insurmountable, by poverty. And yet, you are too "wealthy" for SSI??? As was pointed out, SSI and SSDI are two very different creatures. It's difficult to qualify for early SSI. SSDI is disability but they still generally turn down the first application. You really have to fight for it. As usual, I am concerned with how much you tend to fall and seriously injure yourself. I'm surprised that no doctor has been able to find out any reason for that. Maybe your new doctor will have a better idea of where to look? I'm thinking inner ear problems. Balance issues are affected by the inner ear. Of course, I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. lol. I think you may be right. And why on earth is your landlord refusing to mow your lawn? That's just bizarre. sigh Hang in there. Purrs from my crew to you and your crew! Reiterating purrs. Persia is chock full of them Jill Thank you, Jill. Ginger-lyn |

All I can do is send purrs and a little bit for vet bills through frankly if you need it for something else it don't bother me you're best placed to know what is needed right now- wish I could do more Every time someone over there gets this mess I get glad to be born in the UK! Over here if your doctor said you weren't fit to work you'd get something...not much but in the short term something....perhaps I could ask Dave to marry you? No joking a very close friend in Canada has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and until we knew that her health care is taken care of- Dave asked me if I minded him marrying her so she could get health care over here I didn't mind at all- Kelly's a good friend (she dug out a replacement for his best loved t shirt when he was ill) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
