Maggie, endo pain is that pits. I hope it goes away. Thanks, Trish.

Sure hope you got some restful sleep last night and all went well with your son's doctor's appointment. Yeah, I slept much better last night than the night before. I didn't sleep as long as I would have liked but at least I got some. Perhaps I'll nap this afternoon or later this morning.
I drove ds3 to his doctors' appointments--family doctor was at 3:00 and psychiatrist at 6:30. For the first appointment I sat in the car to wait for him, back against the driver's door and feet propped up on the front passenger seat, writing on my computer. I would have done that for the second one as well, except that last time I tried that, I felt very conspicuous because it was getting dark so the light from the computer would be easy to see. The one restaurant close by I refuse to go to after trying it several weeks ago and they totally ruined my nachos so I went up to the doctor's office with him and sat in the waiting room.
I'm glad I did that because after spending a bit of time with my son, he called me in to join them and spoke about diagnoses and other things. He listed several different possible diagnoses but said that his symptoms don't really fit any of them. His sleeplessness is in part due to his medications so those are being adjusted. I told the doctor about ds3's blogs and the darkness of some of his posts and he wrote down the url. He wanted to know if he is always coherent when he writes and, yes, he is. If I have any concerns, I am welcome to leave a message on his answering machine.
Ds3 told me on the ride home that his doctor has advised him to become sexually active; that his symptoms may be, in part, due to repressed sexual needs. I can see why some Christians are leary of psychiatrists. If you're not strong and determined in something (like sexual purity), it would be so easy to believe what one is told and act on it.
I'm thinking that he slept last night. I'm not sure though because I haven't seen him yet this morning. That means he's either sleeping or he went to class. Either is desirable. I'll find out in time.

That's just crazy! Telling somebody to go and get sexually active!

What did ds3 say about the psychiatrist's comment?
I still can't believe that a psych would be so stupid as to say something like that! I know he's not a Christian, but that's beside the point!
How are YOU doing today, Maggie?

He didn't say anything about what the doctor said, except to tell me what the doctor said. But he is committed to sexual purity so he didn't need to say anything more. He probably wanted to see how I'd react.
I just got up, showered and dressed. I didn't want to get up though. I didn't sleep very well or for long enough. I had a tough time falling asleep last night.

Yeah, the day went well. I saw my psychiatrist, went out for lunch, the building the restaurant is in was holding an H1N1 vaccination clinic and since I'm supposedly in the group that's to get their vaccinations in the first wave, I figured I might as well do it or I'd end up putting it off and then chickening out. There was a wait but the line moved quickly and they had things set up quite well. They used an entire gymnasium with ten to twelve nursing stations, each giving the jab, a large waiting area with chairs and even a few magazines, another waiting area facing a TV playing Mr. Bean (perfect for when you don't want volume) where we sat for 15 minutes to "recover" and see if we got any bad reactions, and a couple of tables where clerks controlled the flow of people. I was in and out in an hour. Others have had much longer wait times and I heard on the 6:00 news that though the clinics close at 8:00, the one closest to me was already turning people away because they had enough already to keep them busy till 8:00. It wasn't too bad and I hate needles.
And now I'm ready to have some relaxation. I am tired.

I haven't had the H1N1 jab yet. I have an appointment to see my doctor just after my brothers have been here, and I'll ask then about getting one. I still can't believe that this time next week, my brothers will be in Perth.

That's awesome about your brothers, Trish!
Ten percent of those who get the vaccination get sick for a day or two. I'm one of the ten percent. I've been in bed all day. I got up for an hour this morning but that is all I could handle. I've been up now for about 45 minutes and I'm not sure how long I can be up before I go back to bed. I haven't eaten or drunk anything except for a few sips of water all day. Ds3 is mad at me because I wasn't there for him today when he needed me. He's cheery with everyone else though, which tells me that he's not in that bad a shape that he couldn't have done without me.
Last night and a bit this morning while I was up, I was looking at what I want my new phone to be. I fried my cell phone with a couple drops of water on the keypad. I've been wanting to get a new palmtop/handheld/pda for nearly a year so this is it. I'd get an ordinary phone and an ordinary pda that isn't a phone but it's almost impossible to find such a pda anymore. I like the graffiti feature that Palm uses and I really don't like the idea of the tiny keyboard that Blackberries use (don't want to get "Blackberry Thumb") so I've narrowed it down to the HTL Touch Diamond if I stay with my current provider or HTL Touch Pro if I change to Telus. Ds1 says I can play the two companies against each other to negotiate a better deal but for what I'm looking at, my current provider is way better than Telus in terms of cost and what you get for it. Ds1 seems to think differently, so tomorrow he will look at the info I've gathered.
This weekend, dh is having an art show and ds1 is debuting his first music CD. The event is in our home. I have some big messes in the living room and dining room that I need to get rid of but I'm too sick. And dh is expecting me to shop tomorrow for the food we will be serving. It's too much.

I'm sorry that you're sick Maggie. I thought you were coming down with something before you had the vaccination though? I know that stress can affect our reactions too ~ and you've not been sleeping well because ds3 needed you so I'm guessing it all adds.
I am glad that you went back to bed though. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Yeah, Stovie, I already had the sniffles, and yes, I've been under a lot of stress. Ds3 wrote in his blog, "Mom betrayed me. I asked her for help this afternoon, and she sent me packing." His post was all about wanting to kill himself and how he tried this afternoon--after I "betrayed" him. I'm falling apart.

Thanks, Trish. I'm not as emotional as I was when I wrote the last post. I'm sure tired though. Bedtime for me.

You know better Maggie. You know you are not to blame for DS3's depression and that you are a good mom. Remember what you've told me when my son tries to blame me for something that is his choice. (((((MaGGIE)))))
As far as the art show why not buy trays of food already prepared from the grocery?

Thanks, Ginny. Yeah, I know I didn't betray him but him saying (and thinking) that made me very upset. I couldn't get to sleep last night because of all the stuff going on in my mind so I've slept maybe two hours. I'll go back to bed when I think I can sleep again. Dh and I have a marriage therapy session at 4:00 and ds3 has a visit with his psychiatrist at 5:30. I will do the shopping in the evening and yes, Ginny, I don't prepare any of the food. I get really easy stuff. Hopefully by tonight I'll be feeling better. I think I will hide upstairs tomorrow for the art show. I'm too messed up to participate. If I can, I'll clean a washroom or two because I don't trust dh to do a good enough job.

Maggie, I'm sorry you're upset with what your son said. Am I right in thinking that his psychiatrist said you could contact him if you needed to? If so, perhaps it would be worth letting him (psychiatrist) know what your son said. May also be worth asking your son to mention it to his psychiatrist. Sometimes an outsider's perspective can make us see things in a different light.
I hope that you get some sleep.

When I read your post, Maggie, all I could think was that it wasn't your fault. I'm sorry I didn't have anything encouraging to say like Aga and Ginny did. Fibrofog settled in extremely quickly and I just couldn't think of anything helpful to say.
