What are our responsibilities

I have through a whole bipolar's set of emotions reading blogs this morning. I can't decide if someone was truly wanting to play arm chair psychologist or an excuse to leave and smoke. I know if I was reading those blogs at the time (my computer was being worked on and I guess I missed some blogs) I would have blown a gasket. I give our elders a lot more credit, I believe you have thicker skin than you were given credit for. I believe you are aware of the raw emotions a newbie is going through when they don't want to "hear" the tough love. Tough love works for some and not so much for others. But I know now I had to change my thinking and Dale did that for me. I'm quite sure my comments at the time didn't "hurt his feelings".

Enough of that. My Drs. nurse called yesterday and I was (like today) feeling quite a bit better. Still some fuzzy-headedness but I haven't been sleeping well either. I think my symptoms were from the meds and it has taken some time for them to get out of my blood system. Anyway, My Dr. is on vacation and she just told me to call back if they get worse. She said she was having a conversation with an intelligent women and could see no problems. Haha what does she know.

I am looking forward to an awesome smoke free weekend for all of us!
