suz 0 #1 December 7, 2002 Just wanted to know if anyone else is having a bad run like I am having at the moment. Friday...I start work THREE hours early, to get on top of things, I just manage to catch up, mind you. I then get a phone call at work from my room mate, asking for rent, coz I owe two months worth (). Not even ten minutes later. I get a phone call some RUDE lawyer, pressuring me to make a statement, about a friends car accident, mind you this is after three times already being asked to make a statement, and me saying NO. I then finally get the phone I was waiting for. I got approved for my loan application! But, wait! there's still more... I lost power in the middle of the night, for two hours. (Just try getting to sleep with no power, in summer!) After having a bad night sleep, I wake up grumpy (naturally) and end up snapping my room mate's head off. I apologised later, but still felt like a bitch. I get into work today, and discover that my boss has done sweet FA! And that three extra hours I put in friday...it all went to shit. I had two people call in sick on me, and the replacement I got wasn't worth the time and effort....during the dinner rush, my head decided to get some attention, and gave me a migrane. On top of everything...I go into hospital on Monday for surgery on abnormal cells. And I'm getting relocated with work, two days after I get back to work. I'm now home, after bawling my eyes out for about an hour, I've calmed down. I've taken migraine tablets, had a cone...or three, and I've cracked open a bourbon. What a Crazy life. Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverbrian 0 #2 December 7, 2002 Wow! Sounds to me like you need to disappear for a few days for some air and alcohol rehabilitation. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyThomas 0 #9 December 7, 2002 on a scale of 1-10? I mean, how are we measuring chaotic? Is this a quantitative analysis, or qualitative? Measure with what tools? Money? Friends? hours slept every day? number of skydives? number of BASE jumps? Measure of spending time in freefall? Number of different ways a person knows to freefall safely to the ground from XXX feet above the ground? Number of DZ's attended? Number of objects jumped? Number of objects opened? Number of object burned? Because there a real good way to measure that, or so I'm told. maybe we could ask XXXX XXXXXXX? Let's first establish the criteria for "chaotic events". Then, once a set of criteria is established, surveys could more accurately determine a somewhat useful definition of "chaotic". Then, we can set up guidelines to throw people into psych wards. Or jail. So, maybe we should add that criteria. Number of psych wards entered? Number of jails attended? hey, maybe how about how many days spent unconcious because of impacting the earth? because something like: "Blah blah blah, parachuting is inherently dangerous" yeah, life is dangerous too, but some manage to live through it. Peace, Thomas ah yes, how about: "If your good at what you're doing, you might live through it." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #10 December 8, 2002 I am sorry that your life is chaotic right now. It does sound like you could use a day or two off to just take care of you! Me? My life isn't chaotic, it just sucks. I have been sick since the last week of August. I was counting the days till I hit 80-something....then it just got depressing. My neurologist refuses to consider trying a different approach until I am off the percocet completely...I cannot get off the percocet until something helps my headache....see the dilemma? I have not made a skydive since September 1. I have not had any freefall since my last jump at Rantoul. My job is trying to fire me cuz i have been sick. Seems like they shouldn't be able to do that, but they probably will anyway. But you know what? I have an amazing family that is supporting me through all of this. They have even told me that if I get fired they would be willing to help with money. I have a few friends who have been wonderful, often just listening to me complain. And above all I have this boyfriend who has been spectacular. He lives 300 miles away, but still manages to make sure that we see each other almost every week. And it is Christmas time...my favorite time of the year....I love to find the perfect gift for those that I love. I love all the twinkling lights everywhere I look.

jessd 0 #14 December 8, 2002 Have you tried anything else besides percoset for the headache? I suffer from migrane headaches and the only thing that seems to work for me is Fiorinal. I tried many different medications before this. I don't the specifics of you being sick. But, if it's mainly headaches see if your doctor will allow you to try this if you have not already. Best of luck to you! "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #15 December 8, 2002 I am on nortriptyline for headaches, also, and my doc won't let me try anything else til I am off the percocet....that is why on Monday I am talking to my regular doc about other neurologist and other drugs I might try! ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!!
