We meet with DH's oncologist Monday to see what next. He's out of the clinical trial that kept his cancer stable for the last year, due to a heart attack two weeks ago.

My dad has to have colon surgery on Friday. He had colon cancer 7 years ago and went in for his routine colonoscopy and they found a polyp, but they can't remove it by traditional means. He has to have that section removed. He is in his 70s and I live three hours away. I worry about something happening and worry about my mom taking care of everything.
Also, a friend from high school's daughter was killed in a hit and run accident while on her bicycle last night. She was only 12. I haven't talked to him in years, but my heart just breaks for the family. They have endured a lot and now to have this happen. I just hope they catch the SOB that took off.

I worry about my mom. My dad died in February, and she's been doing well so far. I'm really proud of how strong she's been. She told me she cries a little every day, but she knows Dad wouldn't want her sitting around moping over him.
But still I know she misses him so much. Heck, I miss him terribly and I live 12 hours away! I can't imagine how hard it is to adjust from being focused on someone 24/7 to them being gone. She's planning to move to my brother's in South Carolina this fall, so she'll be closer. I know I'll feel better when she's a 4 hour drive away. Also, getting away from my brother who lives next door to her will be so much better for her. He's a jerk.

I'm having a knee replacement in 2weeks and I'm so nervous but excited at the same time. The fact it's in a none English speaking country isn't helping. My Spanish is OK for everyday stuff but not medical things.

We're expecting news later tonight that we've been waiting on for years. It's been a roller coaster for us. I'm scared, nervous, mad, and slightly hopeful all at the same time if that makes any sense. If this goes how we want it will benefit us so much and be a weight lifted off of us.

I'm worried about a friend that I met online 12 years ago. She's a total sweetheart with 5 children, one of which committed suicide last week. The funeral is this afternoon. I absolutely cannot fathom her and her family's pain. Her son was only 17.

We are closing on a house tomorrow. Bank draft for closing costs is in hand. I'm worried the other agent is going to pull some stupid shenanigans at the last minute since that is all she has managed to do throughout this process. Put it this way...our agent is going after this woman for a partial refund thanks to breach of contract. I just want to get to Friday so it's all over.

Sending healing thoughts your daughter's way. I'm also totally stressed out and anxious about a confluence of things that I don't really want to talk about. But it's been keeping me up nights. I seriously cried myself to sleep the other night.

My dog has a sore leg. We think he has a pulled muscle or sprain. We called the vet today she said if he's not better in a week or so to bring him and they can check him out to make sure it's not worse. He jumps up and down on our bed. Which sits up pretty high. And he plays catch with the tennis ball that's their favorite so I don't know how he did it. And it doesn't bother him all the time. He's walking and running on it. But he'll just yelp every once in a while. Otherwise he seems his normal self. The yelping had us a little worried.I put the gate up in our room. He loves our bed. So hopefully if I can keep him off the bed for a few days and down time no playing etc..he'll be okay.

My dog likes to jump up on our trampoline when the kids are on it and she ended up in the fall tearing a ligament in her knee doing so. She was limping pretty bad. She ended up having surgery in December and I was really worried about trying to contain her playfulness while she was healing. Keeping her from running and jumping was tough. But we made it through and she is all healthy now. She seems to have learned her lesson because she hasn't been back up on that trampoline since. Hopefully with a few days of rest and keeping her still he will be on the mend.

My husband took a new job and his income was cut in half. His first paycheck was a rude awakening. I'm really scared. (The new job is a good thing for him! But we are going to be struggling to make it now.) Same here. My husband took a new job last year with salary cut in half. He had great bonuses with the old job, and the bosses were about 5,000 miles away, and he had great co-workers, 5 min. commute, but he disliked the bosses so much, and was tired of always arguing with them and worrying about his job. It's hard to go from being able to buy all the groceries you want and save for retirement and college. Now we really have to budget and fix cheaper meals (which also means less healthy). But his happiness is what matters, so we will make do with the new salary! And not having a lot of money means less impulse buying and having a cluttered house with things we don't need. The kids don't wear half the clothes I buy for them anyways, so a lot less money will be wasted.

Yes! 2 things... 1. Waiting for my blood test results for cholesterol. I want it down 15 points, Dr. wants it down 10. So, we'll see. 2. Flying in the rain. Not a fan, and not looking forward to it. Worse than driving through it.

Im worried. We just got our taxes finished and the we owe about $10K more than I expected. When my DH switched jobs last March the paper work was not apparently filled out right and they weren't taking enough out. Because it was such a pay increase when he started, I didn't think anything about it.

I just sent cyber hugs to all of you with worries, large or small.
I am worried that my DH will either have a stroke or a heart attack before he can figure out how to either sell his business or close it or get out from under it someway. Another huge worry about that is that our son works with him but cannot afford to buy the company. It's construction related, that's always been a roller coaster and right now they are booked for the next 2.5 years solid with big jobs but the contracts my DH has to sign are scary and it's just all too much. DH has a partner that wants to walk away (with a huge check) in 1.5 years and we are not 65 and ready to retire. Yet my DH is too stressed to shoulder the entire burden of this company alone. There is a lot more to all this and it's overwhelming.

worried how much I will owe for some bloodwork I had done that the hematologist had to send to a specialty lab. They charged the insurance over $6,000 for it and I don't know yet what my portion will be.....

I have been laid off since January 19th from a job I had been at for almost 20 years. The job search has been slow and painful. I interviewed with a firm twice last week and again on Monday. The last thing they told me was that I would hear from them either Tuesday or Wednesday. I still haven't heard a word. I'm going to give it until 3:00 and then I'm going to give them a call. This is so frustrating.

Due to my cancer and the side effects of treatment I'm on the verge on no longer being able to work. I've always worked. I don't know what I'm going to do all day.

I am worried that my daughter will not be able to land a job before her divorce is final. Her husband walked out on her and the three little boys two weeks before Christmas. And has been a total jerk since. My daughter discovered shortly after he left, because he was "unhappy", that he had been sleeping with a previous fling he had before they got together. Since being found out he has been totally ugly. She left her job as a Crime Scene Officer a year ago at his request so he wouldn't have to do any childcare of the one and three year old boys. So now she is back in the job market and needs to find something quickly. Her Dad and I will be able to help out some, so that lessens my anxiety a little. But hate to dip into retirement funds to do it.

I am in the process of being assessed for being placed on the liver transplant list. I go in to the hospital on Monday for 2 days of all sorts of tests (to make sure that all other systems are okay.) I've done that part before, when I was healthier, so I know what to expect. The worst will be the stress test, which they have to do with drugs that make me feel AWFUL very suddenly and harshly before slowly getting better.
So I'm nervous about that particular test, on a smallish scale. On the larger scale is the whole "what's next" of getting on/being on the list, including having a procedure on my liver that will help me be healthier while waiting but has it's own risks (google TIPS procedure).
And you wouldn't even be able to tell I'm "sick" if you looked at me. But I'm used to that, having lived with fibromyalgia and chronic pain for more than 2 decades.

We are in the contract phase with a gestational carrier (surrogate). Once this is completed we will start the frozen embryo transfer cycle with the last two embryos using my eggs. So, this is our last chance for my biological child. I made the decision long ago to proceed with donor eggs, and I am 100% certain that is the right decision, but it's also a hard pill to swallow.

I am battling advanced breast cancer, which isn't responding to chemo. It is also my sons senior year, and trying not to miss his important award banquets, and concerts and his last events in high school. Mommy guilt at its finest today.

I will keep everyone in my thoughts as we all walk through our worries/stress together. Big hugs to everyone especially those with health and job issues. At least we're not alone and know we have the Refupea Sisters for support.
