Observations from a HORRIBLE week!

[Needhelp59]

Most of you are familiar with my horrible story so I won't rehash it here (sister, grandmother, dad, sisters kids, etc), and there have been days this week that I thought I would lose it.  Last night I was reflecting and thinking the following:

I cannot control what goes on around me, only my response to it
I, and I alone, have to take care of myself - There is only one of me, and without my health I am of no use to anyone!
I will not enable my sister any longer.  Until she chooses to change completely, I can be of no help to her.
I will love and nurture her children as best I can, and hope that one day they will thank me for it.
I will not feel guilty about what i should and could do for my grandmother.  I have loved her my entire life, and know that there is nothing more I could have done for her.  It is in God's hands now.
Lastly, I will continue to treasure and love my husband and daughter - they mean the world to me.
My goal is just to live a healthy happy and fulfilling life, and to treat everyone with courtesy, dignity and respect.  At the end of the day, if we have done that, I think we can say that would sum up a good life.  Didn't mean to ramble on, but wanted to share a few of the thoughts I am having regarding this craziness that is my life right now.  Thank you all for listening my dear friends, and I am hear if you need me!!

If you only been on 1 a day, your home free. If that was a taper from a large amount, than you would have really suffered last 2 days.  What was your doc how much?

I am not familiar with vics, so I don't know, but the dosage sounds pretty low, so maybe you got lucky!  Someone will be along shortly to answer or post it as a new post so it gets immediate attention.

Thanks,
Help

That is a really good attitude to have. I love that part about treating everyone owht courtesy and dignity and respect.  I like to think that if at the end of the day I was a good person and did no harm then it was a good day.

You did all you can do. And you're so right about how you react to the things that go on around you. You can control that. Good luck, I'm here if you need me.
