I give up (just a rant)

[Akcowboy]

  I really don't know if the hit on my head started all this or from the chemical overexposure to painting cars for a living, but was dx with CFS and CNS damage over 13 years ago but since being hit in the head I feel like my or should I say my world is falling apart.

  I try to help out around the house, and in just less then 7 months ( as the time has gone by) in that time I had cut most of the skin off my finger on a table saw, now sleeping downstears, joints hurting badly and muscle pain, headaches from heck daily, legs falling out from under me, eyes that tend to bounce up and down, back and neck pain, shocking in my back, and I can hardly remember half the things I need to do during the day without my wife calling me up to remind me and on top of that a week ago I crushed my left are trying to put a wall up to keep the moose out and had it fall on me
  Could this all just be fate or what?

Just have to put my 2 cents in.
Sorry about the rough time, but the moose story is kind of funny. I can just see it. That is how things go for me. Nice to laugh at someone other than myself.

Post it notes are great!!!! they come in all different sizes. When in a pinch I use my hand..Just be sure not to wash it off before you do whatever it is that you wrote(done that a few times)

I know that it is hard. I try to use humor. try looking at all the off the wall things that happen when you are just trying to make it through another day.

Good luck

wow, I love the visual of moose on a spit! We did a half a steer on a spit one time, took all night and half a day, but best beef I ever ate.Might have been the beer too LOL! Take care of yourself. We all feel frustrated at times. Will the game commision give you nuisance tags? We used to get them.....Just a caution.Don't kill 4 moose at once. We did 4 elk at once. Any idea how long that took to dress and skin them! Almost a full day. The fun was over in 5 minutes.well not really fun, they just stood there and looked at us, but they were wallowing in our oat hay, tearing down fences, chasing cows away from salt lick, etc. You know that well, I'm sure.........Maggie

Close encounter of the moosey kind...........ROFL..........love it! Sorry for what you went through, but I can't help but laugh. In spite of all you've been through, you write in a very entertaining way.

As for remembering things, and I am not being flippant or rude, but serious. Every little thing helps. I use timers (although my daughter has to remind me to actually set the thing!)

Several months ago, my husband brought home a big pack of Post-It Notes. I laughed, were they on sale or something? Set them aside, and guess what. We're halfway through that pack now.

There's one on the computer right now telling me to print out my taxes, but um, well, haven't done that yet.

Moose is one of the better game meat I have ever had and I did have a close encounter of the moosey kind the past week< i put all the outside hay in the barn and I didn't know there was one behind the stack, but when he came at me trying to get out all I had was a knife that I use to cut the bales open with and I got him right in the mouth as he tried biting and stomping at me before he got out, I called the state troopers and in two days I had 6 of them here just to talk about what happen lol

I'm so sorry you're having such trouble. And all on acount of a moose on the loose.LOL. Couldn't resist that one. In all seriousness, have you seen a neurologist.  With the memory problems that would be the first thing I would do. And an opthalomologist. You don't want to mess around with your eyesight.  In practical terms, lists are the only way I get thru the day. If it's not on the list I forget it.and sometimes do anyway. Just take one step at a time, first with your own dr, then move on until you get a diagnosis, and can get some pain meds and help. Ranting is fine, it helps. And you are not alone, we all feel this way at times.. How is moose on the BBQ?
