i was pretty sick this week. it was that nasty bug that got a lot worse. my wife wanted me to go to the doctors but think i'm pretty much ok.

my son had a feeling something was off. well i fell out of bed. i couldn't get up and my wife couldn't lift me. so with no other choice we called an ambulance, and no i didn;t go to the hospital. my son wants me to go because some of the symptoms are like the ones around 6 years ago when i almost died. the reason i couldn't get up was because my foot and leg swelled because of diabetes

I'm so sorry to hear all of this. I hope that things will steadily improve for you now and in the coming days.*hug*hug
 
I'm trying to absorb what happened this week in this country and what it also means for the world.*blue Being without any tv access and other news access and being deep in the mountains was a blessing as I did not need even any superficial exposure to the media. I knew deeply inside who would come out on top and that is really sad since it might possibly have been related to gender and color issues being a force in all this. I still can't wrap my head around the outcome. It hurts my soul. Taking it one day at a time and living in the present moment is usually the best thing to do especially right now. That's sage advice for me in all things and this situation is at the top of the list as far as impact at the moment.

I'm so glad and grateful I have this place and group of people to share the above with as well*brohug

Mike, you were certainly missed. Am glad you are feeling better. But please don't hesitate to go to your doctor. Sometimes they are necessary.
 
I'm also lonely. Tried going to this Alpha Course at the church last night (have not socialised in years) but it was all OAP's I didn't mind that so much but it's just awkward when everyone has families, children and grandchildren and I don't have any of that and am not even working because of mental health. People accept you until they find out you're nuts then they just reject you and your reputation is ruined so I'm not going to go back for the second session of the course spend most days completely alone 🙁 x

I’m sorry to hear the event was disappointing especially after you made the effort to go to it. Maybe there might be another upcoming event that you could go to in a church or other place somewhere in your area.
I also relate to much of what you have shared here.

I rarely, if ever, post here, but your post really moved me, Janis. As you know, I love Big Bend country, and I was flattered that I inspired you to make it your destination.

That said, I'm sorry you had to come home to the enormous shit sandwich that America was served up on Tuesday. Like you, I wasn't surprised at the outcome, and I think gender definitely was a factor. C'est la vie .. It seems we haven't just lowered the bar, we've just thrown it away completely.

I love my country as much as anyone, all the more reason I'm so disappointed. Chaos, criminality, lies, lawlessness and mean-spirited bullying won the day. No matter....we'll get through this.

Peace, Janis 🙏

I’m new here and reeling from the USA elections. Due to many circumstances-physical health, mental health, a son with autism, debt, and other current events, I’m overwhelmed on a daily basis and this week pushed me over the edge.
So sorry for you. But at the same time I feel lucky by comparison because I don't have your health problems and financial debt. No, not rich but I don't have any debts.
To help you, I posted a response to your religious issue in the religion section.

As for myself at the moment, I'm thankful--I rejoice at the gifts I already have.

Mike, please take care of yourself. We all care so much about you here. I hope you're feeling better and the swelling has gone down. *console
