  No Excuse to Shun Families - Almost Lost my Son Today

  by Gretchen956 in

  i had such a shock today, its almost bizarre, my son was involved in an accident at work.

  he's an ironwoker, which means he works the high steel on skyscrapers and such.

  today he was working and tied his safety harness off to the cable as usual, and went to work.. lots of times they have to lean out and rely on that harness to keep them secure while they reach out to do whatever the hell it is they do (best mom's don't always know all), and today his dumbass bosses didn't have the cable attached on one end.

  Awe ((((((Sherry))))) I had chills reading that and am so glad to hear your son is going to be okay and on the mend. Wow how scary!! Mom's hate to hear this stuff and worse yet we hate to hear when anyone is treating our kids badly like the shunning person!! GRRRRR!!!!

  FWIW My son is DFd and he lives most of the time on his Dad's property with his new step-mother who is a hard line JW. My son has lots of problems and she has been very kind to him and I am so grateful for that!! The place where she works (for a JW company) all of them totally shun my son when he runs into any of them around town. So again I'm so grateful that she is kind to him, he can be a real pain in the arse....with all his problems I'm sure it's very taxing on her.

  Just to say Sherry there are those who can look beyond the JW shunning policy and show some human kindness, I only hope your son has more of those kinds of people in his life.

  I bet you can't wait to see him and give him a big hug......before you *itch him out for scaring you like that!

  we're in the middle of a little windstorm here (portland, or).

  not much of one, really, compared to some of the others i've experienced here.. about 11 p.m. bikerchic and i heard something hit the house, and there was a pretty good thud on the ground.

  i thought that it was probably just a big branch, but bikerchic came running in and said: "did you hear that?

  Thanks (((nvr))) for the nice words.....I'm not usually like this I can usually roll with the punches it's probably a combination of earthquake flashbacks and that this has really been a bad year for us. Along with that my oldest son dealing with his situation I've been on an emotional roller coaster ride all year and hubby being out of work things just look bleak no matter how positive I try to be, truth is we're just barely hanging onto this house as it is.

  Actually we happen to have State Farm and they are one of the few insurance companies which does cover down trees one of the good things out of all this, that and our insurance is paid up, yay!

  Those trees were so awesome I really loved them I'm going to miss them. Hard to think of how long they've been there it's a shame for their lives to end like this. I will say our garden which you may be able to see the raised garden beds in one of the pics.....with the increased sunshine it should do a lot better this next season. I'm looking forward to that!

  It didn't even hurt (Re: biopsy)

  the doctor only wanted to use two sites to take the skin biopsies.

  i felt a needle prick and that was it!

  he used some sort of medical skin shaver to remove the lesions.

  I'm glad today's biopsy went well for you! That rash doesn't look like fun! What does the Prednisone do? I'm thinking help with the itching?

  Aggghhhhh! Yes I've been very stressed over this, seriously I can't stop crying! I honestly think I'm experiencing some sort of PTSD left over from the big earthquake I went through in '92 or was it '93? uggg....that big thud and the ground shaking when the trees went down which woke me from a sound sleep, I still have that butterfly queasy feeling in my stomach!

  Add this excitement to my son calling us in a suicide panic this morning and I'm really wasted.......I just really want to go to bed pull the covers over my head and not wake up!

  Okay enough about me, I'm sure this will pass.....Craig keeps telling me it will.....

  Here are pictures, they aren't very good it was pouring rain and my camera lens has rain drops on it. The truck which was lifted up by the trees root ball. The trees laying on the ground with the satellite dish crumbled up, some pictures of the gate area at the front of the house where Craig thought a big branch had fallen....oh how I wish!

  And some Christmas lights for Tammy!
