Frustration!!
Well, no luck with the pastor’s son, to do the memorial. So they are trying the other pastor’s son, this is getting ridiculous. I can’t place the obit till we get this settled.
Ok enough of that, and I will NOT eat over it.
Tonite I am going to a grief support group, my first one. A bit nervous about that.
Also, couldn’t do the storage for mom and dad’s stuff yet, will do that Saturday.
Buddies, Ted is very sick, I almost had to take him to the er last nite, his cough sounds bad. He has no insurance, so it is hard for him to get medical care. We have been treating it at home.
He is supposed to go see his daughter in a few weeks for the weekend, I want him to be well enough to go.
How are you all? Yeah, I’m venting abit.
I was so tired last nite after shopping and all, plus waking up at 2 am with Ted, I slept till 6:05! So no time for a workout, but I will do my crunches tonite!
Still sore from the yoga, lol.
But no binge last nite, had a grilled chicken salad, was real good.
Ok, need to check emails, will be back later, love ya!

Sorry I haven’t been around the blogs in a while…so I didnt know you were having a tough time finding a pastor. I’m glad to hear you’re going to a support group. I am sure it will help you a lot. Nothing to be nervous about, you need to heal. It is a very poitive thing you are doing. As for Ted, they cannot deny you medical help, and you can always apply for some aid with the hospital afterwards if need be. Please take care of you and keeping you and Ted in my prayers.
We have been talking about this all morning so I’m just stopping by to give you a big ol’ bear hug! (((((((((((((((((((KAMA)))))))))))))))))))
Me too! (((((((((Kama)))))))))))))
PLEASE take Ted to the ER. He probably needs antibiotics. And they can’t deny you as already said. I’m worried about him and you. You need your rest and he needs medical attention. I don’t have insurance, either but sometimes you just have to go.
Vent away :o) Sorry your having trouble finding someone to do the memorial… but still you are holding strong and abiding by your routine and eating habits go you!! I hope you find someone soon and the support group is a help to you.
Hope you can find some comfort at your support group. You are such a strong woman
I’m sorry Ted still sick hon. Oh, I have a med book my boss bought that I should take a look at at lunch.
Sorry about the memorial sweeti!
LOVE YA!
Although I don’t know the whole story here, I’m so sorry you are struggling with some life issues right now. Stay strong! Happiness will find you again soon!
great jo on the salad and aww you two both need to get better sooo many colds going around. I hope he feels better soon!
kama,….here are some alternative medicine recipes…
If an adult has cough and cold:
Boil a handful of fresh eucalyptus leaves in two glasses of water, till only one glass is left. Strain this water and add sugar. Drink this three times a day for 5 days.
Heat four teaspoons of coconut oil. Crush one teaspoon of camphor (Kapoor or Karpura). Dissolve this in the oil. Keep it stored in airtight bottles. This can be rubbed on the chest and throat of the child to relieve congestion. (This can also be used for any muscular pain).
Another effective medicine for cough and cold is Leucas aspera (Hindi: Guma, Tamil: Thumbai). This is a wild plant with white bell shaped flowers. Boil one handful of fresh leaves in water with a pinch of turmeric powder (haldi). Inhale the steam. This helps to relieve congestion.
Boil a handful of leaves in a glass of water until the water gets reduced to half. Add one teaspoon of honey. Give three times a day for five days.
Sinusitis
Soak a piece of turmeric in castor oil and burn it. Inhale the fumes. Burn a few pepper corns (Hindi: Kali mirch, Tamil: Milagu) and inhale the fumes.
Mix together half a cup of bitter gourd (Hindi: Karela, Tamil: Paharkai) juice, half a lime and one tablespoon of honey. Drink three times a day for 5 days.
Sore Throat
Crush fresh ginger to get 1 teaspoonful of the juice and mix this with equal amount of honey. Take this every three hours. This is very soothing to the throat.
Boil some water. Add the juice of one lime and sugar or salt. Take this hot once every 3-4 hours.
Boil a glass of milk with a pinch of turmeric and pepper powder (black pepper) and drink it hot at bedtime.

Hugs girl, what can I say except i’m praying for someone to step up and do the memorial for you.
Look, girl I dont want to add to your worries. But, please take Ted out to the ER, insurance or no. My mom waited and waited to go a few years ago for the same reason..no insurance. My sister and I couldnt talk my mom into going so we faced off with our Dad and told him what was going on. She went. She was so sick that she caught pneumonia and got crystals on her lung-they had to do surgery to scape them off (trip to major hopspital a hundred miles away).
Now, I dont know what kind of shape Ted is in, but girl the viruses that are going around now days are nothing to mess with. Tell Ted we voted here on Buddyslim and we vote some care for him lol.
So proud of you for not binging girl!
Best of luck with everything…get well Ted, love Debbie
Can you take him to like one of those CVS/Walgreens take care clinics, it’s like 50 or 60 dollars to be seen.
I hope he gets better soon.
Hang in there!
Oh and also, at my hospital we have patient assistance, like if you can’t pay for it then you can make payments or the foundation pays for it….FYI
So sorry to hear how things are going.
Proud of you for hanging in there throughout it all. I am praying for you, and Ted both!
Kama sorry I wasnt here for you today
I am proud of how you are handling everything and keeping your eating under control.
GOOD JOB!
Talk tomorrow
Lori
Are there any doc’s or programs that see people for free in yoru area? I would make a few calls to some social service agencies and see what they can tell you—if you lived around here I woudl be your wealth of knowledge in that area
I sure hope he gets better.
so sorry about ted still being so sick! you can always vent to me even if i’m just in and out of here. it’s totally okay!! and, with the pastor, phew, i wish you could get a break you deserve it! you take care (((kama)))
I hope you are able to work everything out in the near future! Good luck!
Like the others said…Ted really does need to be seen…prob needs a round of antibiotics..and maybe nebulizer treatments. Please let us know how this goes! I do understand about the insurance issue…
Good job with the eating! Even through all of this stress-you remain strong. Hope everything works out with the pastor.
Take care!
Kama…Im so sorry it has been such a struggle for the pastor issues. Also about Ted…have you tried Mucinex…it pretty good at getting the gunk out of the chest. But maybe its just time to get him to the Doc and ask if you can pay bill in installments. My Doc sometimes gives free samples too.
((((((((((KAMA))))))))))
Is there a clinic or a cheaper option than the ER for Ted? It’s great that you are not eating out of stress; it’s my biggest struggle, controlling my eating when I am stressed!
