ugh, it's going to one THOSE days

- TV's dead. Electrical surge fried it and the surge protector and tripped the breaker. May have cooked the DVD too.

- I've been puking most of the night

- Baby's got colic

- And, oh yeah, did I mention m MS is flaring today, so my left hand and leg are numbber than usual and I can't walk without my cane..which makes the puking part really fun, thanks to the fact that I've pulled a muscle in my back and lower abdomen trying to hobble my ass around the house

^ Is there a friend or relative who can come over, or at least take the baby for a short while? At least it would give you a little quiet.

Well, to look on the bright side (OK, it's a stretch) you now can shop for a shiny new TV.

Sorry you're sick, dude.

Wife's off work, she's got the baby right now. But she needs help taking care of him and handling our other son that's decided today's a good day to be a handful and push daddy's buttons. Mom will be over in a bit to help out, but right now I just want to grab the advil, the 7-Up a crawl into bed.

I sympathize. I've had the flu the last four days, and as it typically does, the damn fever gives me the shakes, which, if that's not bad enough, I have nomally, due to my cerebral palsy. It's better now, just a little in my legs, but last night....I fell out of bed three times. Getting back in was an adventure.

Anyway, like I said, I'm feeling MUCH better today, and I hope you do too.

Sith, aw dude, there's nothing worse than being sick and having to take care of a baby. I hope you feel better soon!!


Randy, glad you're feeling better my friend!

Other than that, your outlook is fairly positive, right?


Hang in there, Bro. I know it sucks, but I always remind myself that no matter how bad I think I have it, someone else has it worse.

Hey Sith, sorry to hear you're feeling shitty. My Mum has MS so I know how you're suffering. She has so many pills she could open a chemist.
I'm sorry to say but the only ok way is to try look on the bright side.

One of the best nights homework we had when son was a kid was to get rid of all electronic gizmos and entertain ourselves. There was only Son and I but we played cards, we played board games and we read to each other. It was so great we did it once a week afterwards.

Even now, when Man and I want a night away we go to his place, which doesn't have tv, or heating or anything really ~ but it's just so precious to just sit and talk sometimes.

I'm sure if you're feeling that poorly your wife could cope for a while.

I do hope you feel better soon.

So sorry to read about this!
It's good your mom will be helping out; it's great when family comes through in tough times.

Do you know where the electrical surge came from? I don't know much about surge protectors, but that must've been a pretty bad storm or something to even fry your protector, right?

I hope you and baby are feeling better very soon.
