An MI at age 38!!!!!

[sissiesmama]

Well, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Saturday afternoon, after arguing with both boys and their crazy mother about visitation. Started having chest pain and radiating into my shoulder, cheek, and neck and face. My BP was up, and my head hurt.

So, today I went to the PCP's office where I have been going for yrs. and she is wonderful!! She listened to me, and did an EKG and gave me the verdict that I had had an MI. Figures!!!

The icing on the cake was the fact that Caleb, the older stepson said he hated me and he was going to kill me himself. Then he laughed at me and said I was lying just to get him in trouble!!!!!

Figures!

Any good thoughts and prayers would be appreciated!!!

My God, you must be under a tremendous amount of stress. Is your family in counseling?

Sincere wishes for a quick recovery and avoidance of this incident.

How are things going? I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

We had to make counseling for our son a condition of living with us due to his behaviors at that age. I know your situation is probably different, but encourage your DH to step up to the plate to support you now with his son. You are doing your best and sometimes all of us need that little push from such a terrible incident to get some basics straightened out.

Now DS is grown up and not at all like he was at that age. I really do wish we could freeze dry them and add water when they have outgrown this stage. That push for independence by that age is a burden in the best of times. Unfortunately, for all of you, this is not the best of times.

Many hugs,:icon_hug:

Undoubtedly they'll try to treat you by medicating you with an anxiolytic.

Offhand, I'd suggest medicating Caleb, instead.

But that's just me.

(seriously, it sounds like he could use a little family therapy)

The Solution

GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)

To those of us who have children in our lives,

whether they are our own,

grandchildren,

nieces,

nephews,

or students...

here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control,

you can take comfort from the thought that

even God's omnipotence did not extend

to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth,

God created Adam and Eve.

And the first thing he said was

' DON'T !'

'Don 't what ? '

Adam replied.

'Don't eat the forbidden fruit.'

God said.

'Forbidden fruit ?

We have forbidden fruit ?

Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit ! '

' No Way ! '

'Yes way ! '

'Do NOT eat the fruit ! '

said God.

'Why ? '

'Because I am your Father and I said so ! '

God replied,

wondering why He hadn't stopped

creation after making the elephants

A few minutes later,

God saw His children having an apple break

and He was ticked !

'Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit ? '

God asked.

'Uh huh,'

Adam replied.

'Then why did you ? '

said the Father.

'I don't know,'

said Eve.

'She started it! '

Adam said.

'Did not ! '

'Did too ! '

'DID NOT ! '

Having had it with the two of them,

God's punishment was that Adam and Eve

should have children of their own.

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.

If God had trouble raising children,

what makes you think it would be

a piece of cake for you ?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT !

1. You spend the first two years of their life

teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend

the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward

for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why

some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you.

In fact,

they usually repeat word for word

what you shouldn't have said

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties

is to remind yourself that there are children

more awful than your own

6. We childproofed our homes,

but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

Be nice to your kids.

They will choose your

nursing home one day

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION

AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,

DO WHAT IT SAYS

ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

'TAKE TWO ASPIRIN'

AND 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN'!
