Anybody that knows me knows that I would not intentionally take too many pills. I won't even hardly take what I am supposed too. Ever since I got Mitral Valve Prolapse and a lot of pills make my heart flutter, I won't hardly take anything. I used to take anxiety meds but I quit even taking that. I take iron, vitamin D and K.
I do have sinus problems and the doctor says I can take sinus or allergy meds long as it doesn't start with a D. Any kind of a decongestant I can't take. Jana told me about Claritin and how it helps her a lot. I tried it . It didn't make my heart flutter so I take two pill's every day for my sinus problems. I take children's. That is how scared I am of meds. Besides I weigh about the weight for a 12 year old.
This weekend I went to buy Claritin but they didn't have the chewable children's so I just got the adult one. After all I have been taking them for a couple of years and I had no side effects. Yesterday morning I got two out of the package. They were smaller than the ones I have been taking. They didn't taste so good either as I was chewing them up. I had most of it taken and I read on the box and it said , " Do not take more than one in 24 hours." And they were time release and your not supposed to chew either. (I cannot swallow a pill)I spit out what I hadn't swallowed. I rinsed my mouth out with water. This would have been comical if it hadn't scared me so bad.
I called my doctor. She said I would probably be very sleepy and my mouth be very dry. Maybe tachycardia where you heart goes fast. Oh, No! I read online about it and it said about the same thing. Fast heart beat, sleepiness.
I got Tay and I ready and since Jana was still asleep I went over to a friends. I didn't want something to go wrong and Tay would be here by herself. I stayed there for a hour or so. They calmed my fears a lot by talking to me . I will be forever grateful to them. Then I went over to Jana's and had breakfast with them. The more I could eat it said online the better it would be for me.
I decided after awhile I was going to live. I was really sleepy and felt a little strange but other than that I was okay. My heart was pounding extra hard but part was due to being so scared about it. I went home and took a short nap. After awhile I was almost back to normal. I will never overdose again!

Finally I Got Some Results......
I had an appointment last Wednesday with the ENT specialist . About once a year I have to go get my ears unstopped. I had such a roaring in my ears and I couldn't hear anything. (Thanks Daddy I inherited this from you) I couldn't get an appointment for weeks but finally last Wednesday was the day to go. This wasn't an easy task either because it was at Baylor Hospital. You have to park in the parking garage and then you go across the street to the professional building. I saw they had valet parking. No matter what the cost I was going to get valet parking. The guy told me you get your number stamped it doesn't cost anything.
I went in to the doctors only to be told my doctor had not sent in the referral. Made me another appointment for Monday at 9:25. Meantime I needed to get my doctor to send in a referral. The valet guys got my car back to me and said I sure didn't stay long. I said, "Nope, but I will be back."
I tried to get ahold of my doctor only to find out she and the nurse were both on vacation. Another lady said she would do it so I believed her.
This morning I thought I would call and make sure the referral was there so not another wasted trip. When I called the ENT doctor the receptionist said it still was not there. I called my doctor. The nurse said to go ahead and make my appointment which was in 15 minutes. She would get it there. Off I went and I was two minutes late. (Not bad since it was close to downtown) . The valet man said, "Your back!" He remembered me .
The lady at the window checked and the referral was still not there. She said to wait a little while and see if they call. Then she said it had finally gotten there. I seen the doctor. Got my ears fixed for another year. He said come back in a year. So relieved it was over. My blood pressure is usually 120/60. it was 150/87. I do have anxiety around medical people.
Tonight I am hearing so good. I didn't know Tay was crying so loud. My own voice sounds so loud. So thankful I can hear good tonight!

I Grew Up In Sweetwater.......
I did grow up in Sweetwater and I have fond memories about living there until 1989. I have tried going back a few times too but I guess I got used to the big city and cant get used to the small town. I still like to visit though and last summer I had a nice visit with my daughter and her kids. I plan on going down this next weekend too.
I was a member of the group "I Grew Up In Sweetwater" . I don't even know when I joined it but it was long ago. One day I noticed I was the administrator. The lady who had it left I guess and left me the administrator. I did it alone for a long time and then Chris Davidson ask me if he could join me. I let him. He knew how to do a lot of things I didn't and I have to admit he added to the group. I was almost like the silent partner. I added people or if needed I deleted people. Answered a few questions or participated if it was something I knew about.
A couple of weeks ago my daughter put on about the house fire we had back in 83'. That was fine. I listened to the people saying they remembered it and sympathizing with her about all of it. She never mentioned the rest of the family at all. Just how it was so bad for her. She said s few things that was not true. For instance her and Julie were very close. They were not. Melanie was not close to any of her brothers or sisters. Then she said how she played with Kelly Mc Gowan who lived across the street. Melanie was almost 14. Kelly was 7. Julie was 9. Kelly and Julie were good friends. She might have went over there now and then but I don't think she played with her at almost 14. Most of what she said was to get attention and after 5 days I took it off. Most stories are thru by then anyway but she kept prolonging it. I didn't think that was wrong of me to do that. I really don't like to hear about such a traumatic time for me. But to hear Melanie tell it she was the one it bothered the most. I believe it is worse on a parent to lose a child than it is on a sister.
Anyway I felt like I let her have her say on there. It was over. I didn't think anymore about it. Not...I got a message from Chris on Saturday night telling me I was off the group because people were complaining about me editing and deleting some things they were saying. I knew instantly who was complaining. I never took anyone's stuff off besides that and I thought it had run it's course. If they were complaining why did Chris not tell me, where we could resolve this. He never said anything one time. Just take me off after the fact and send me a message. Is that how you treat your co administrator after years? I would never have done that without a warning or anything. I didn't know he could take me off when I was there before him. Chris says it wasn't her but I know it was.
On Christmas Eve she sends me a text saying Merry Christmas and she is all alone. She wishes we could get along. I told her Merry Christmas back and I wish we could too. (You would have to understand our relationship to know how I feel. She was here a few months ago and left after cussing me. She has attacked me before.) This particular night all of a sudden she started telling me I was the most cruel , heartless bitch and poor excuse for a Mother. Yet she didn't raise any of her kids. Why wasn't she trying to talk to her kids? Then she proceeded to tell me I was getting old, I might not live too much longer . Hurry up, she says. Who tells your Mother that especially on Christmas Eve?Then she tried to tell my other kids I started a bunch of crap with her. They did not believe her. I get along with my other kids.
I guess because none of that worked she sent Chris messages trying to get me off of the group. I don't know what she said but she succeeded. I just want everyone to know what happened. I am sure you will hear other versions. Chris said I could get on and say I was leaving because I had other obligations. That is not the truth. I do not lie. This is my version and it is a true one.
He sent Melanie a message which he sent to me too. Telling her I was no longer on there and she could post anytime she wants too. It would never disappear. So I am sure she will have a good time. I no longer care. Let her. It just really hurt my feelings after all this time we were co administrators he could get me off when I was the one who put him on. And he could believe my daughter over me.
