I apologise in advance for the rant… please forgive me.
Well, here I am again… up against the ‘oh so familiar’ brick wall! It’s been a hard month, and I find myself unable to paddle against the current at the moment. I have been here many times, and I keep telling myself I will move past it, however when I’m here I can never believe it will end… I guess I have to try and practice some faith.
Although my specialist has treatment options for me to try, they are so expensive which presents another problem. I should say bigger problem as this problem already existed. And how do you decide between making yourself more broke (if that’s possible) and choosing not to persue treatments. I am also not looking forward to the fun little game I call “test the medication” as so many react badly with me, with what he’s suggested at least one or two will likely be a problem.
On top of this and other things, I missed a really important wedding on the weekend, and I am absolutely devastated! My hubby’s brother (L) and his (now) wife (A) were being married and hubby was the best man. Not only did I miss a family wedding I really wanted to share with them, but I also missed my husband standing up with his brother, reading a message from L to A, and doing a speech. I wanted to share in his pride, and show my pride for him.
Aside from that, I feel a great sense of loss in not getting to meet A’s family and be part of that ritual of families merging. They don’t even know I exist!
Sometimes it just really sux!

No need to apologise, a rant now and then is good for the soul. Sometimes things DO really suck and there’s no point pretending otherwise. I’m so sorry you missed the wedding, and have the stress of impending treatment roulette on top of that. Will be thinking of you.

Ok, that’s really wierd!! I was just thinking of you and wondering how you’re doing… Freaky!
Thank you for your thoughts, it really helps! I know it is a good idea to try new treatments, I’m just scared – silly I know!
I’m throwing myself into my jewellery making to keep my mind off things, which isn’t a good long term solution – but it helps me get through the days…

Ranting on blog is a good therapy. It is even better when readers know how tough things are.
I second everything greenwords said.
I hope you are staring to feel better by now.

Thanks Rachel!
Yeah, I am in thek process of picking myself off the floor… That’s all we can do I guess… keep putting one foot in front of the other.
