Mom in Hosp - Refusing Blood

by rwagoner in

my mom is a dialysis patient and has had a couple of heart attacks.

she is 65 or so...never celebrated a birthday so no real clue.... she went into the hospital yesterday with a bleeding ulcer...they thought they sealed it all up but her blood count continues to drop.

due to her dialysis she can only get iv's in one arm and it is difficult to find a good vein.

ok. i "won" a "fully favorable" social security disability claim on august 29, 2005. from there it takes 2 - 6 months to receive a letter outlining just how much i will receive in back pay and in monthly.. today i got an envelope with $29,794.00.

no letter, no nothing!.

oh, my, cawed!.

Brilliant News! Good for you!

Was following your story as my daughter has FibroMyalgia, she hasn't had any trouble with her claim here in the UK.

The illness is horrible and I do hope that you recover soon. Att least your immediate money concerns are over.

Born In, the Difference

born in, what difference does it make?

i was thinking about this one a lot over the last few weeks.

what difference does it make whether you were born into a cult or were brought in as a teen or adult?

Thanks for a great post!!

I just wonder why I put up with being one for so many years as an adult, when I knew it wasn't right? It is knowing no other reality I suppose.

yesterday my son and his dad were talking about his world geography class.

it turns out that he is actually in an honors class...i didn't realize that, and i was pretty happy, since he has never been in an honors class.. today, i get a phone call...i see on the caller id it is from the school district.

the first thing i think of is this :"uh-oh...which one of the kids forget their homework or lunch money...etc..etc.".

Well done to your son ! good news should be shared.

My daughters both started to excel when we left meetings and the pressures of being a JW.

Our kids can and do give us so much pleasure

congrats again from one proud parent to another.

for someone who was raised in the "truth" for 17 years it was a very hard and a very scary decision when my father finnally had the "you must choose a side of the fence" speech and when i chose not to do it anymore he flipped his lid and i so "tormented" by my decsion i latched on to "maryjane" to fill the "need".

after living with my parents for two years and then on my own for two more years crying everynoght cause i was alone not knowing way i felt this way this way, i felt a spirtual need at 3:30am i drove to my dads house and beged him to let me came home because the "voices" were drivin me crazy and i needed "guidance" he said well get you a meeting with elders and a "bible study".

so i move back in, had a talk with the elders where they used the bible to call me stupid and i went to there meeting where they used what i said in private and made a whole new talk based around it i broke down crying and prayed to god for the guidacne to make me strong and make the tears stop and the holy spirt led me to this site i moved in with my brother and told my parents i can know longer belive the "truth".
