Experiencing a Very Hard Time

Very pretty both ways

I might be able to find some pictures with henna tattoos.

Thank you for your eloquence, as well as intent.

I agree, thanks are due to MaxD. It is also possible that not everyone has read, or is aware of, the forum rules, which I believe appear near the top of the home page. These include refraining from comments about politics or religion. The rules have served us well.

LOL... Disturbed humor may be a symptom of living in the Arizona heat. Put down the coffee and start drinking more water, dehydration can cause as many unexpected side effects as prednisone.

Don, I am not always THAT nice, but I'm glad you think so. Niceness can have its drawbacks, like getting walked all over. Not on here.... in other places. It can be a tricky balance to strike. As for coffee.... it is also a trigger for vertigo! In those who are susceptible to it. So for me, today, it's black chai tea, with half and half. Less caffeine. And only one cup. Almost as good as coffee, but not quite!

He's not able to get exempt from deployment because I do have close family nearby (sister, aunts, cousins in the same town), plus next-door neighbors that are really great & have promised to watch out for me. I wish he could, though!

Make sure you post here often enough that we know you're OK alone, almost.

Teri, I am so sorry for your loss of your loved one. I lost one of my babies last year to dear hunters. I just wanted to add to the advice about your infections and fevers, I would definitely consider going to the ER. I have had to go and be admitted for several infections over the years. I don't think that you are taking a strong enough antibiotic, you have to remember that right now you have nothing in your own body to even fight an infection. It only stands to reason that you need an IV antibiotic right away and most likely a second opinion on the treat you are getting. I have been thru all the treatments in the five years and I'm still taking 8mgs of preds. I wasn't given CTX at first and it really has delayed my progress for remission, not to mention the damage I now have from all the txs and preds. Do yourself a favor a go get some IV antibiotics and a Wegs specialists, that will relook at your present tx. Please take care of yourself. Thank you, for you and your husbands sacrifices for this great Country. Wishing you all the best!

I dont agree with you Don, that people here have no sense of otherness etc. etc.
Sometimes people experience too much anguish, but it doesnt mean that they dont care about the others.. especially here..
But since I love you and you asked for Putin, I send him to you on a horse...

I would love to continue this trend of Putin pics with more absurd pictures of Putin without a shirt on (he must be one of those guys at the gym that stares into the mirror in love with his own reflection!) but I will let you search for "Putin no shirt" for yourselves. I find the photoshopped ones with him on a bear and a great white shark to be particularly amusing. This thread shouldn't get too far derailed from Teri.

Teri - I want to share my condolences for the loss of your sweet and beautiful dog. As another child free woman, I know how much our dogs feel like children and part of the family. I lost my first dog about a year ago and I was a mess. I adopted her when I first started living on my own and she became so special to me. She was my partner in crime and I miss her a lot even now. I turned all of my grieving into love and affection toward our other dog but I was very, very close to adopting another dog.

This may be terrible advice because you are not feeling well and don't need additional responsibilities or work but maybe adopting another dog would help make your husband's deployment a bit easier? I'm so glad that you have family nearby. I know that having support from loved ones makes all the difference in the world.
