I would love to have a day where I didn't think about Chiari at all. I'm feeling insecure today because I'm in job search mode but I'm not really sure if I'm up to life with a full-time job. I'm four months post op and doing pretty well. I know I can handle working, but I don't know what else I'll have energy for. I hate the idea of having to rest a lot of the time I'm not working. It's been nice being able to cook, spend time with friends and my partner, and take care of all of the little things that need to be done to make life work...I'm so worried that all of my non-work activities will become chores again...

  Thanks so much and I will....it is so sad he even took my mom's pain meds at Easter...we had no idea at the time, but we know he  has no qualms of taking from his grandmother....so....I hope we can help get him turned around....my other concern is for my sister as this is killing her....this is her baby boy and her pride and joy....not that she doesn't care for her other 2 boys, but this one has the potential to do sooooooo much and is throwing it away. I deff will keep u posted.

Smart Hubby! I wouldnt suggest that situation either, yes - they do make people do things they normally would never dream of doing! Glad the brother is with him...sounds safer. Sometimes a non-family member is good in those situations as to not cause a riff in the family...tension runs high in those cases and sometimes they feel like family is just ridiculing them...again, all the drugs taking over the emotions.  I will be praying for them. Keep me posted on how it goes.

  Thank u so much for ur kind post and suggestion....his older brother is with him right now....and they are still trying to over turn the decision. I offered for him to come here, but my DH said no as I have all the meds in the house he is  having issues with...I got a box and they r all in one place....but, he is a big guy and if he loses his temper I could not hold my own against him...he did get in my sisters face already...drugs do things  and make the person do things they normally would not do....

But thanks again, I really appreciated ur kind words and suggestion.
