A Tough, Hard Week And Its Only Wed.

So my Granny died this past weekend.

My dad's Mom.

She had been in the hospital for two weeks with pneumonia and bronchitis.

We found out she had lung caner on my dad's birthday (2/7)

She had to wear a breathing mask for a week after, until she passed on Sat (2/11) (Aunts B-day)

 

I've been so stressed and tired from school, not eating enough, worrying about my dad's heart,

having so many bills and not being able to pay them or find a job.

Now to deal with her death, family stress, and on top of everything else, I find out that the burial costs is close to $25,000 cash.

 

Weight wise, I've gained two pounds

but I've also been menstruating for two and a half weeks so a lot of it is bloat (I hope)

Still having pain when eating or drinking thick fluids

Though dark chocolate has no issues going down (Weird eh?)

 

I was supposed to go on vacation this coming week

to El Salvador for my cousin's wedding.

Had to cancel though since the money had to be relocated.

 

Humbug!

This week sucks.

So did last week.

And next week doesn't look any better.

 

The burial will be on my mom's 50th Birthday!

and she was so excited for this one, but again, it will have to be postponed.

 

I feel like such a Debby-downer

A hungry downer.

 

And i find i'm now scared of bread

and all bread like substances.

I have phantom pains when i see hamburger commercials on TV.

 

Told my dad that the only black sweaters i have are faded to grey with holes in them,

so they'll fit it at the burial since they're so sad looking.

He just cracked up laughing, since its true!

So sorry to hear that hun! I know you don't know me, but... *hugs*. The only thing I can say to make it even a little better is that at least she didn't have to deal with all the pain and agony of the lung cancer for long. I know that isn't much, but it is better for her in the long run. She is out of pain now, and she knows you love her and miss her.

There's time when we can't avoid sadness and grief. i am passing along my virtual hug of the day: I hope it helps alittle.

You stay with it honey, keep going. I think we may have all heard this - "Don't sweat the small stuff, and remember, its all small stuff." You will be so incredibly happy with yourself, happier than ever before. I know, I know - we told ourselves that we wanted it to be healthier. Well, deep down do you really want it to look good again, to not only feel (sxier) but to look it also. I will never regret having the band, and if I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat. I also recommend it to anyone who asks. Whether they are just asking due to watching me loose the weight, or they are in need, or they know someone who is in need.
