I just got off the phone a bit ago with my son, I thought he was down with a cold or flu, but he told me that his maternal great grandmother died last Friday, and I am just beside myself.  I loved her tons, she was the best grandma anyone could ask for!  And her daughter, my son's gma, ended up in the hospital, they don't know if it was a heart attack or stroke, or the stress.  I feel so awful that I can't be there for him to just fold him up in my arms and let hin cry.  I hope he lets himself grieve, when he lost his paternal gpa, he held it inside and it finally broke loose one night when he was staying with me....scared the crap out of me...he was sobbing like I've never heard.  His parents talked him out of going to the funeral......sometimes I'd really like to kick his dad in thee ass....I don't do funerals, but I know that for a lot of people, they are necessary for closure.  My son also mentioned that she died almost 7 years to the day that her husband, great gpa, did.  She was always such a vibrant woman, I can't believe she's gone.

{sigh}  I feel so helpless as his mom right now.  And sad, I loved her like a grandma when I was still married to the ex.

I am sorry to hear that s2s [&o]

I agree to that closure part. When I worked in children's home we had a kid who lost her grandpa (who raised her) aged 10 and I was so furious when the team decided not to let her go to the funderal despite that she wanted to go. They felt it would have been too much for her but I felt differently as I was the same age when my grandpa died after two strokes and after i pushed them about it they finally took the advice from her social worker who agreed that it is her decision not theirs, so if she wants to go she will be going....but by then it was too late. In her case I think it had more to do with them not wanting to go due to their own issues with attending funerals but I was very annoyed and sadly was dependent on following their decisions. Later they made a fuss how they regretted their own decisions but thats easy to say once that situation is over. And in your sons situation he is at least an adult. But I am sorry to hear about his and your loss [&o]

OK all.....here's the thing.  Some of you know that I am an insomniac.  I may have found something that helps, sort of.

I have a slow thyroid, so after reading in several different magazines that selenium is supposed to help with the problem. The first night I did this, I slept like a log.....not any more than normal, just better than normal.  I've been taking it now for 4 nights straight, and every night, once I fall asleep, I'm sleeping better.  I'm thinking it's the selenium at work......insomnia is a symptom of thyroid problems. 

It's 200 mcg of selenium, I got it at Wally World.  Anyone who is as desperate to get any sleep as I am might think about giving it a try.  Just a thought.....like I said, it's not giving me MORE sleep, just BETTER sleep, and trust me, I'm waking up feeling a lot better, and not so dopey feeling due to lack of sleep throught the day.  I didn't take it the second night just to see if there was a difference, and there was, I laid there all night long not sleeping at all.  The next 4 nights, it's been so much better.

I haven't taken any melatonin with the selenium.....and one thing the selenium doesn't give me is the strange dreams that come with the melatonin and/or benedryl.



ShaharThorne -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/24/2010 7:18:55 PM)

Selenium has been known (supposedly) to help in a fight against cancer, but you know how the FDA is about herbal remedies.  Bo used to take it for a while but I guess he stopped since I was not around to make him take it



soul2share -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/25/2010 6:48:40 AM)

Well, for now it seems to be working.  I tried taking just the selenium alone, and while it worked, it didn't seem to be as effective without the biotin and cinnamon.  I didn't sleep as long, but the sleep was good.

Yeah, Shar, I know how the FDA is, but selenium is a naturally occuring element in the body, so I figured it can't be that bad for me.  I am also supposed to be on synthroid for the thyroid, but I haven't gotten the newest prescription filled yet.  Sometimes, the synthroid gives me anxiety attacks, so far, none with the selenium.

I hope everyone's Christmas is a good one.  [:)]

*hugs Soul* sorry for your loss, doll





soul2share -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/25/2010 11:10:04 AM)

Thanks Greedy, I spoke to him this morning, and he says he's doing okay, but his fiancee also says he hasn't really given himself time to grieve about it.  She's watching him to see  how he's doing, but I still wish I was there for him.[&o]



DarkSteven -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/25/2010 11:41:14 AM)

Sorry, s2s.



ShaharThorne -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/25/2010 12:19:15 PM)

Bo was trying to test me on some musical event.  He said #1 in 1979 Sad Eyes...who was the artist....

I said Robert John...I remember that my 79' teacher had a copy on the old radio playing to exercise our scales.

So see...my memories as not doing too bad...

You are far from helpless Soul. In fact, your star as a mom is shining so brightly. You had a baby boy and raised him to love his family with all his heart, and he carried those feelings into adulthood. He has the love in his heart to grieve for his grandparents, and the confidence in himself to allow others to see his tears.

Hug, dear lady

*smooch



soul2share -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/26/2010 12:23:59 PM)

I hope everyone's christmas was great, and that Santa brought you what you wanted.  He was good to me, gave me a job...WOOT!!!!  I so can't wait to start tomorrow....boredom is such an ugly thing! 

Thanks Holly and Steve for the thoughts. 

Sunny, move over....I'm thinking of a nap too!  My sleep is all messed up....I'm trying to stay awake today so I can sleep tonight so I can get back on a schedule for the job.  At least I don't start til noon, so that's one good thing!  Mornings and I are bitter enemies!  My normal shift will start at 2:30, so that's good too!



ShaharThorne -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/26/2010 1:19:56 PM)

Excuse me while I try to get the burp out of my system.

I am waiting for an email to be sent to me from Bo.  He has a letter that he composed and for some reason, it is playing tricks on him.

YEPPIE!!!!

The swelling of my feet and ankles has gone down a lot.  Except for some  pain at my Achilles heel, I no longer have elephant feet...unless you count the skin (just like elephant skin).  I get to moisturize them today.

Now..to find some tape so I can use my cpap tonight.  I don't know how it broke, but I have to go to the branch up here to get a replacement mask.  



KMsAngel -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/26/2010 3:46:27 PM)

hello holly, soul, sunshine and others i don't know so well!

well i've completed the move (just 2 days before christmas) from a dry, drought stricken country (where it was nonetheless sprinkling a lot while the movers packed up), to a city that hasn't stopped raining for more than 15 min since i moved here. i don't think they're having drought problems up here. at all. flooding, definitely, drought, no.

perhaps it's just as well i haven't been able to get my hands on any seedlings! they'd have drowned! [:o]



sunshinemiss -> RE: The Holly and Potty Show (12/26/2010 4:23:43 PM)

Maybe, angel, the universe is telling you that you're come to a place of life.... You deserve the best!
