Bye Guys!
I am going
to trust you to know the difference between an accident and unacceptable behaviour. (I wanted to add that this isn't sarcasm or written with a judgement already made on my part. Sometimes it's hard to tell someone's tone on the Internet.) I have, in my life, done some things I regret (including throwing punches and picking people up by the neck). I have not done stuff like that in years now, and I am glad for it. I like to think there is a difference between me (where that sort of behaviour was an abberation) and people like my grandfather (who did it all the time). But at the time when I was doing that, I needed to learn to stop it and seek non violent ways to deal with aggression/fear--and for the most part, I have. So, I do not judge on one incident. --Fil |

I think life often calls for finding new ways to deal with things we don't like or feel comfortable with. Sometimes the realization comes because of reacting in a way that bothers us. That's called a "wake up call". Sometimes it takes a while to even get that call. Or, a really bad result that wasn't intended. And of course, accidents happen too. -- Cheryl |

I was facing going home to hours on the phone arguing with them and probably being further frustrated. I admit I was in a *REALLY* bad mood. When I called Ben he said "I don't want to hear about it." and that ****ed me off even worse. I got home and started slamming doors and Ben got ****ed and said I was just trying to get attention. I told him to f*ck off - a number of times. We were in the garage and he pulled a male gorilla act by throwing a plastic garbage can to the right of where I was standing. I got in his face and said, "Go ahead and hit me instead of just posturing." He got even madder and walked up to me really fast and "belly butted" me. His 290 pounds sent my 125 pounds flying backwards. I put out my arms to break my fall as I hit the cement floor and when my right hand hit I heard a loud *CRACK*. One of the bones in my right arm, right above my wrist, broke all the way through. When we got to the emergency room there was about 100 people ahead of me so I thought I'd be there all night, but the one small glimmer of luck I had was that they put me on the "fast track" because of the nature of my injury and I was out in about 2.5 hours. My arm is in a fiberglass cast (to allow for continued swelling) from above my elbow down to my knuckles. I can't turn my hand, I can't wiggle my fingers, I can't even use my arm to steady something while I manipulate it with my left (and I find I can do very little using my left hand - it has taken me almost 30 minutes to write this far). I don't know how I'm going to work like this - or even drive the 1.5 hours to my work - so I'll probably be on disability and half pay (after 2 weeks without pay) for the next 6 weeks. That is if the orthopedist, who I have to see on Monday, will give me medical leave - if he doesn't I'll be out of work without pay (after all I've been through I don't have any more paid time off). Never mind trying to find another job in a full arm cast! This is going to be the nails in our financial coffin. I don't even know if I want to continue living to face this - I'm just about done. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to reply to this or other threads - my left arm is already hurting from trying to type left-one-handed, and I'm too depressed to even care to try. I just wanted you all to know that I didn't leave in a huff, but because I couldn't participate any more. -- Hugs, CatNipped Lori, I am so sorry this happened to you. You're a poster child for "bad things happen to good people." Because I do think you're a very kind person who is working too hard and trying to shoulder too big a burden. I think Jo made a very good point about regrouping. If you're trying so hard to hold things together it's making you sick, maybe it's time to let things go. Please continue to read when you can, and type us at least a one-liner to let us know you're okay. Good luck with your prescription. I don't know what kind of insurance you have; we have Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas, and they won't pay for my folic acid/B vitamin supplement even though it's prescribed by the cardio. It's maddening. Sherry |

There are lots of people all over the world (literally) who care about you and love you. I know things have been very hard for you lately, but you've gone through worse stuff, haven't you? You are strong enough to deal with this, I know that for a fact. So don't you quit on us!!! Is there anything I can do to help? -- Victor M.

((((((((((CatNipped))))))))))
I hope things start getting better, and the orthopedist gives you medical leave. I know things will still be rough financially, but that should help a little. As others have suggested, I hope you keep reading here, even if you can't post. Hugs and purrs, Joy "CatNipped" wrote in message ... Things just keep getting better and better - NOT!
