Aw Becca you didn't offend me. Just my own preference anyway. I just could
not ever ever picture myself a single parent. i have many friends and
relatives who are and it is so hard on them. plus i just feel that way. No
hard feelings here though.
as for the cataflam Dr. G told me to take it but if the pain is too bad and
the cataflam doesn't work then to take the lortabs. he let me take 2 q 4
hours again or maybe it was every 3 hours. can't remember. so for now i
think i am feeling better with the cataflam. i spoke too soon after work
today with my mom and when i told a friend it was the same she was like
"nutah!" and i told her she didn't listen to me b/c I had said that i spoke
too soon b/c the cramps hit me so i took one cataflam. i think it is making
me a little sleepy though. the RPh said to be careful with it at first. i
already am a pro with the lortabs so that was no big deal. thanks for
caring and I know that i will try for a baby someday. oh i just want to meet
the right man for me. yeah i know i sound like i am in a fantasy world but
come on it makes us feel so much better when we dream things to be a certain
way right? i just think i am too fat and ugly for someone to love me. ooops
i know i am about to get smacked right about now......I am ducking
guys.....have mercy on me :O( but sometimes that is how i feel but then at
other times i think I am not bad looking and knwo I have a lot to offer
someone but i just don't get it. i know that some say to go to bars or
whatever to meet men. i don't drink and i don't like that atmosphere so i
guess it will have to be fate that brings me together with someone
lol.....thanks for writing and talk with ya soon. i am getting very sleepy
right now lol
