All of this medical stuff is making me an emotional wreck. I called the cardiologists today to make an appointment and I find out that the ER doc didn't mention the stress test in his 'release notes'. I also found out that this guy was a D.O. (doctor of osteopathy). Boy did that give me some comfort. Not.

I also found out that since he didn't write it in the notes, I can't get the stress test since the insurance company won't cover it. There's a shocker. So, the lovely lady I was speaking to said to go ahead and make an appointment and there could be a good chance the cardiologist would go ahead and order the test anyway, thus being covered by the insurance.

I'm certainly not trying to buy problems here, but I know something is not right. I can feel it. I'd like an answer one way or the other.

Hayley has been a trouper through this whole thing. She even brought me breakfast in bed yesterday. I haven't told Taylor yet so I imagine she's going to be pissed off at me for not telling her. I just wanted to wait until there is something to say for sure.

Warren is being unusually optimistic in one sense. He thinks I'm going to get a clean bill of health and everything will be hunky and dory. On the other hand, he is taking everything I do very personally and is avoiding me like the plague. I guess I don't blame him. No one wants to be around anyone who is not talkative and in tears most of the time. I'm pretty sure some of that has to do with the lack of caffine and alcohol. I think he got mad when I refused the glass of wine tonight.

Bless his heart, he made bacon and eggs for dinner, and honestly, he might have liked it but it was gross. He put pepper on the bacon while he was cooking it. YUK! The man is a pepper freak and he needs to realise that not everyone likes pepper and really, when you are cooking for other people, less is more. None would have been better.

I should have had cereal. Oh God, then he mentioned that he should make his mothers' lasagne. May she rest in peace, I don't think Warrens going to do it justice. I'm afraid of it to be honest. I mean, really, if a person peppers to death eggs and bacon, can he really make edible lasagne? Seriously? I think not.

We'd be better off with grilled cheese.

I just seriously want a cup of coffee or something other than water.

I'm sorry I've made this so difficult for everyone. It certainly was not my intention. It's hard not to wallow in ones own self pity. It comes off more like: I'm scared and I need you to make this better - you're scared too but you won't say anything so we just avoid each other and you tell me I'm acting a certain way so you don't want to be around me. Boy, there's a recipe for success.

TO BLAME OR NOT TO BLAME, THAT IS THE QUESTION

This has been on my mind a lot.  No, I'm not addicted; never used it, never will.  But things are a little different when you are living with the fact that you have a child who is addicted to .....heroin. All the talk in the world about don't do drugs didn't make a difference.  The DARE program didn't make a difference.  As a parent I feel like a complete and total failure, I did not make a difference. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that, for lack of a better terminology, I have a good daughter and a bad daughter. I live every day wondering, as I'm sure so many parents in my shoes do, "Is this they day I get the call? or, the knock on the door?"  Is this the day I find out if Hayley is dead? It has been over five years of manipulation, lies, stealing, police calls, social service intervention, school interventions.   When she first left home I prayed nothing would happen until she was over 18.  Thankfully, nothing did that I know abo...
So I visited the cardiologist today. This is really frustrating. It's like no one believes me because my blood pressure and heart beat are statistically fine, except no one wants to believe that I am having chest pains and heart palpitations. We'll schedule you for a stress test and echocardiogram in 3 weeks. Nice. Until then we'll give you a heart monitor. Every time you feel something press this button, and better yet, you get to keep a journal of when/where/what so that after you press the button 5 times, you get to call it in. Every time you press the button, it buzzes for one minute. This is going to go over really well at work. The little sticky electrode things are suppose to make my skin raw......that'll be fun, don't you think. After the pepper dinner disaster last night, Warren went to the man cave and didn't emerge until he left for work this morning. I've not heard hide nor hair from him today, although I do know he has class. I'm mak...

No Witty Title Here

I'm not even sure I have anything witty to say. We had a really lovely morning, nice and quiet and relaxing. We had to take Hayley to get science project supplies and then stopped for lunch at Johnny Carino's. Hayley begged and pleaded for us to take her to the movies. We ended up seeing Marley and Me. It was a fabulously lighthearted, feel good movie....up until the last 20 minutes or so. It was just a bit too emotional for me, at least. Five tissues, at least. I'm still heart palpitating on a daily basis, although not as much as I did the first week. I'll have to get back to you on other stuff, because, quite frankly, I just can't think of anything to write.
