We have a good public health system here, don't need to pay, only a little for scripts. Rod will eventually work again, he would only need to work 1 day a week for us not to struggle, but for the meantime, we [I] struggle, knowing that when we aren't struggling, we'll look back and it will be oly a distant memory. Good job I know 'financial struggle'! Dirty words too, LOL.
I have already begun the Grown Kids thread, go for it, it could go on for a while!!
On line games are good, I know what you mean. I love Bookworm, when I beat the monsters, I know there's a part of me that is still intelligent LOL!!
Will look you up on facebook, somehow I think I prefer this site, less techno....will let you know when I've found you all!!

Rod's feed hadn't finished & I had to leave. Filled the syringe for flushing, showed him what to do...wasn't much feed to go. Got to work, missed call from Rod. Called him back, he was in panic mode. He went to flush and forgot to close the feed cap...I've done it myself, poor bloke. Told him not to worry about the mess & that I'd flush when I got home which I did. Apart from that little mishap, he did good. I think It was me who didn't like leaving him!! Gave him 2 xanax before I left and prepared some breakthrough, he has only taken 1 xanax all day - says a lot for the anxiety...a good sign.
As for work, everyone was glad to see me but I was dumbfounded when my boss asked me when Rod was going back to work. Lets put that down to ignorance too.
Have a good day tomorrow everyone...Jeanna xx
