Disappointed and a little upset.

Comment Published at 02:0602:0615 comments15 comments41 Visits41 VisitsReport

I decided to do the ring around earlier this evening to see if there was anyone that could take miss g for a bit. I would of asked my parents (who would of done it) but Dad has the flu at the moment and I really don't want miss g to catch it!! Anyway I rang people that I thought I was really close friends with... not one person out of the 12 I rang were willing to help. I got the usual brush off or the pause while they think of an excuse. There was only one of them that I truly believe, her  little boy hasn't been too well but she would see how he's feeling tomorrow and if he's alright then she said will come and get miss g for an hour or so. The rest well...... I'm not even going to go into it. Most of them have seen me and they all know how crook I've been. I have reached a point now where I really don't know how I am going to keep this up. I am barely getting through the days and please don't get me wrong, miss g has been an absolute star!! I couldn't ask for much more really from an 8 year old that doesn't really understand why I can't function. I was hoping that one of them would take her so she could go and have some fun.... I even said that to a couple of people I rang but still no go. I will go and see the doc tomorrow in the hopes that there is something he can give me to calm this nausea down. I know I've lost quite a lot of weight as well over the last 2-3 weeks. I have big black rings around my eyes..... I look like a wannabe gothic!!! I am admitting that I am not strong enough to do this........ what gets me though is some of the people that I rang offered a while ago to take miss g for a couple of hours. Why offer to do something when you know full well that you don't mean it? I had one person say to me that they have a free couple of hours in about 3 weeks. Hmmm that's interesting cos she's a stay at home mum, her sons goes to school 5 days a week, they get picked up by another friend of ours, she doesn't go out anywhere, she's not involved in any volunteer groups..... Now I just sound so bitter and twisted. Sorry. I'm just a bit upset at the moment.... yep, probably over reacting.... anyone who knows me knows that it's quite difficult for me to ask for help..... anyway I've prattled on enough... sorry everyone.

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

Hey Fi, I can't stand when ppl make an offer then don't follow through. If I were in the same state as you, I would take miss G Simply cos pregnancy alone can be so exhausting even without the "all day" sickness that seems to offering you little respice. I think Arna is right in that if things continue to get much worse than you may end up in hospital with a drip for a couple of days. I'm really hoping you get the break and help you need real soon sweetie. Love ya. xx.

Karen.

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

Oh Fi, I wish I could help you.  Damn this being so close and yet too far away, move to Gympie!!!!!  I'd take Miss G in  a heartbeat for you, and take her on some retail therapy, just me and her!

Your situation is starting to get pretty serious hun, and I fear there might need to be a trip to the hospital to get your fluids back up.  IV maxalon works so much better too, 'cos it stays down!!!!

I can't even drag my family to you for a day trip, which they would love, because our car barely gets around town here.  Gee hun, another 3 months and we'd have our more decent car, and then I could demand Les to bring me to you for a while.

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

They have great medicine that is so safe now,hope you get some aid!  Being one of those who was sick from the very start to the end ,it drains you, I know.  You are probably down on several things,I'm so glad you are going to the doc's,find out if you need suppliments or vitamins.   You need a break dear Lady and I wish I was closer.  I think Miss G would be an interesting delight to have around for a while.   I would love to do that for you,those who won't have bigger problems. Hope you get feeling better and the naked dancing brings your guy home sooner!!!  Sending vibes your way!!!

That is no good. It is horrible when 'friends' do this. I hope your friend comes tomorrow and takes her so you can have a break.

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

Hmmm, i think you would have a dozen people lining up from Minti to take her for a few hours....that's a shame no one could or would help you out. 

I'm not sure of your situation but when i had chronic morning sickness acupuncture really helped.  It can be exy but i know some doctors that do it or sometimes Natural Therapies Schools have cheaper rates....worth a shot i reckon.

 Hey Fi,

I hear ya. I have a volunteer. Not a friend, family member etc. Mum and Dad try to help but can't do much. If you wanted, you are very welcome for a hol down here. Plenty of room for you and miss G. I'd make you sit and do nothing!

Hugs sweety,

HI Fi

Thats a huge bugger and how rude of them..

Is there a after school program or family day carer miss g could go too for a couple hours, as they are meant to not cost much...

If i lived closer she could come here, as im sure my girls would love to have her here....

Hope you feel better soon..

xx cazza

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

You've no idea just how upset I was when you sent me the text.............YOU are there for them the second they need you for any reason whatsoever and it makes me so bloody angry that they can't do this little thing for you. I know you and I know how hard it would have been to not only make that first call, but to keep making them. Selfish bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to be there so badly.........to not only play with that gorgeous girl and keep her busy for a few hours so you can rest, but to wrap you in my arms and take care of you. I'm praying with everything I have that JD will be home soon.

Iove ya like a Minti Island xxxxx

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

Awww poor thing. I would take miss g for ya but im too far away. I know how you feel sometimes you just need a time out for you. I am lucky i got both sides of parents around and they help out heaps. Not so much my parents lately as my mum might have multiple sclorosis so we are waiting on results :(. I hope you find someone to look after Miss G and you.

Love Kell

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

 Dear Fi, I would gladly take Miss G anytime, we have plenty here to keep her amused and occupied...wish we were closer to you....any chance of you getting down here to us....you could rest ( I will  nurse you back to health). And Miss G can have some fun.

Sending giant hugs  & Love Janice xxxxx

P.S. Anytime dear Fi, you would be so welcomed.

Re: Disappointed and a little upset.

Hey Angie,

                    Yep got the maxolon but most of the time it seems to make me worse. That's the thing, I get more support and GENUINE offers of help here on Minti than I do from other friends. I think that speaks volumes.....

Thanks Angie,

fi xoxo
