INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Ugh. Just can't seem to get it to stop this time.

So, I stopped driving because my head was so messed up and I didn't really have anywhere I wanted to go, so we got rid of the car I'd been driving. Last time I drove, I was on my way to a doc appointment when one of the tires separated on the turnpike and DH had to rescue me. When it blew, it took out part of the front bumper. Then the car sat for months in the driveway and we finally traded it out for some work we had done on the house. So I can't even go to Walmart without getting a ride. I'm going to be starting rads in a few weeks, and it hate the thought of asking my cousin to drive me there every day for 6-7 weeks. And I honestly don't know if we can afford a car. We've never financed one, just bought outright, DH's Honda ​is a 2003 and still runs great. Well, I guess I'll talk to him about it. I don't see things improving any time soon with cousin's schedule; with Christmas coming up she now has choir rehearsal on Saturdays as well. And of course she has to have time for her favorite recreation, shopping. OK I guess my real problem is, I'm feeling neglected. Waaaah. Poor poor pitiful me.
Hey! I AM one of those Walmart people with no sense of a dress code! I don't even put on makeup when I go! Or do my hair! Wait! I don't have any hair to do!

Mags, the American Cancer Society will try to help with transportation. If that does not work, call your cancer center, talk to the social worker. They might have drivers. In my rural community there is a service will drive people to Dr. Appts. The drivers volunteer, and they get paid for mileage. I think it's gov program. 

If you could get help, it would take the pressure off of the cousin. Maybe she could help with food & housework. My rad place was very close to home. I drove myself every time. DH took me to all the chemo treatments, but by the time rads came around I wanted him to go back to a normal work schedule. Radiation, for me was easy. Chemo was torture. I hope your rads are also a cake walk. Emotionally, I hit the wall during rads though. 

good suggestion Holeinone. I know the cancer center where I go does that.

yup!

Has anyone seen the movie yet? I read the book & will see the movie, maybe tomorrow night.

Mags!  I'm just so sorry for all that is going wrong, or FEELS like it is!  You need help!  Maybe ask your senior center also, or someone with AARP in your area, if they offer rides for women in your situation.  Ask the Rads place.... And ask your Doctor!    I know if you live in a senior center, they have vans that take them to stores, and appointments and stuff... I would ask everyone I could think of.  

It's hard enough to even think about doing this, but it will be over soon....  I know 6 weeks is a bitch....  But try and get help on that.

My DD and I watched the biography of Shirley Temple today! 

She brought over "Pizza Salads" from this neat little restaurant close to here....  It is wood-fired pizza crust, then a mixed salad put on half, and folded over!  It is one of my favorite lunches!  

Anyway, what a great life that Shirley Temple l had!  I didn't know she had breast cancer when  she was only 44... A double mastectomy.  But she went on to be Ambassadors to several countries, and then serve as WHAT was it in the White House?  The first woman ever to serve in that office.

Really an honorable life....  She passed away of COPD.... because she was a life-long smoker, but didn't ever want the public to know....  She was 87 I think when she died this last February...  So a long life anyway!  Janie and I have watched almost all of her movies..... What a little doll she was...  So talented. It was fun watching her "grow-up."

good evening ladies. 

SAS - hope things are looking up for you. 

Spookie - glad you changed pcp's. 

Foots / you have a service dog ?  I don't think I knew that.  

Holeinone - candy corn. Yum yum my favorite. Now you got me wanting some.  

Mags / vent on. Not a problem.  I hear ya. I hate hate bring dependent upon someone else.  Just remember it's for a period and then your done right. Already had your last chemo and hopefully radiation will fly by with no se. You can do this !  Hugs 

Blondie - no help in 5 years ?  Wth is wrong with people in your area? No sourhern hospitalty it seems like.  Wish you were closer I would def bring you some grub.  Glad your breathing better.  

Def not wanting to see Gobe Girl. I don't do sad movies or books. If it isn't happy it isn't for me. The only time I wanna cry is when I can't stop laughing.  

Hugs to all I missed. 

Hootie hoo.
