RSL in hospital

Robert, your last posting has made me cry. And not just a little bit.

Lately, just about everything makes me cry. I wake up in the middle of the night soaking in tears, with only vague memories of the dream that brought them about. Emotional Lability. Susan thinks it is contagious, so maybe you caught it from me!

Maybe you both need lots of this:

It may not cure you but it should be fun.


With your website, what happened to the backups of everything? Or did everything exist only on one laptop?
 
RSLancastr said:
It exists on backups as well as on the desktop pc where it was maintained. I now have access to neither.

What web-software did you use?

I just looked at the site, and it seems like the pages are pretty self-contained (all the style-sheet info is on each page), so it shouldn't be too daunting a task to get it off the server. Depending on the software, I'd think it might be possible to recreate whatever templates you used. . . .I dunno for sure, but I'd be willing to bet the expertise to do that exists among your pals here.

I could probably even handle that myself, but there are obstacles I don't want to g into here.
 
Susan, rant away any time you need to! It helps so much ... if for that and nothing else, it helps to have a psychologist or social worker around.

I had a preceptor at one of my internships who bullied me right into a nervous breakdown. So I went and found myself a social worker. I spent most of our sessions together just ranting my head off. It helped. A lot. Especially since she had no connection at all to anyone else in my life, which meant that I could say anything I wanted, whether I entirely meant it or not, and not have to worry about what anyone else would think of me.

There are for sure going to be times when you both feel like you just aren't up to it all. No one is ever ready for the kinds of things you're facing. You're actually doing really well -- and since no one can blame you if you forget that once in a while, make sure to keep yourself surrounded with people who can remind you.

(((hugs))) and good luck.
 
RSL's better half said:
<snip> The best I got out of the half hour or so I stayed was a phone number for a stroke support group which he got from a comb-bound book of resources . . . FOR THE HOMELESS!!!! I never really got into why I was there, other than to give him a synopsis, of sorts, of the past year up to my melt-down last Wednesday. He seemed to enjoy listening to himself talk. <snip>

Looks like you were talking to the wrong person. He should not have given you ANY opinions at all. Hardly any facts either. He should have practiced his active listening skills. If you know anyone who does THAT they are a highly valuable asset.


Whoever the mod was that approved Susan's post please use that technique every time. You did it a different way. Please teach all the other mods how to do it. It is the first time for a long time I got an instant e-mail telling me that a post was in that thread.
 
It's not difficult, as has been discussed several times in FM, and I doubt any of them need to be taught it at this stage. They only need to go to the thread itself and approve it from there, rather than other options available. Whether or not they do so depends on their personal preference and how many other moderated threads need attention at the same time. You yourself can subscribe to the thread and set your preferences to get an email every time your subscribed threads are updated, to save the mods having to know to work to your preferred agenda.

Back on topic:
Susan, I'm so sorry you gained nothing from that session, but it definitely doesn't sound like it was your fault. Many hugs from me - you are doing a great job.
 
I dreamed last night that I was at a TAM with Robert and Susan again but this time Robert was walking!!! He still needed a wheelchair some, but was walking more than sitting! Don't know why he was wearing a really long "StopSylvia.com" tee shirt and no pants but, hey, as long as he is walking he can wear whatever he wants!

Ok, Brotherness, it is now up to you to make me psychic! ;)

Also don't know which TAM it will be but TAM 8 works for me!

Sounds good to me, Seestor!
 
Susan and Robert, I'm so thrilled for you that you had a good day where things worked out well for you. And I'm happy to hear that you have a great plan for moving to OR... that sounds terrific.

I guess that's the way life is, peaks and valleys, but it's so tough when you are in the valley! Hugs to you both.
