lorryw Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Im not a great one for self pity but yesterday was so horrible I think Ive won the right to a bit of wallowing. We are having a hard time finding support for my son and despite contacting several well known organisations we are still no further forward. I took my 13 year old beloved beagle to the vets and was told her cancer had returned. The vet was very kind and said it was a tough operation for her to cope with and while her quality of life was still good it was probably best to let nature take its course. I just stood and nodded numbly and cried all the way home. Poor old girl, I love her to bits and will miss her so much. My son had a huge mega meltdown, no idea what it was about he suddenly came in from the garden and started punching his head, screaming, banging the wall. I ignored him, which is all I can do he is far to big for me to intervene and eventually he stopped. I always feel so helpless because he is non verbal and I cant put right what is upsetting him. My husband then asked me to place a memorial in our local paper for his father who died 2 years ago, that really cheered me up! Im back at work tomorrow and pity the first person who asks if Ive had a good week! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katkin Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Not helped by the fact that the woman LorryW pays to sit with her son ( yep me) fell over in the kitchen today, stuck elbow through door of oven which then shattered everywhere, dislocated and chipped bone in toe and spent all afternoon in A & E. And this was supposed to be my morning off!!! And stupid doctor ( had to be a man ) told me to sit with foot up and rest........ yeah right!! Will phone you soon, thinking of you, Kat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lorryw Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts. Its lovely to know people do actually care. I feel much happier now helped in no small part by Katkins mournful telephone message describing her accident. I was still choking back the laughter when I rang her to commiserate. I have decided to keep the message on my answerphone to play back if I feel in need of cheering up. I have also had an email from a local autism group who are keen to help with the situation regarding social services. My son has been a happy bunny and I had to reprimand the dog several times for attempting to get on the trampoline, so she cant be feeling too poorly! Thanks everyone its very much appreciated Lots of love Lorainexxxxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
