Hospice nurse was here 20 minutes and told me to get on a daily dose of wine or anti-depressants for the crying. I told her I was on the Celexa, and she said, “Call your doctor. Increase the dose.” When she left she turned to me and said “Drugs. Drugs are good.”

Did she say if you could have wine AND antidepressants? Hourly?
I would bring you all the wine from my wine rack (and from Randall’s, the warehouse of wine and other potent potables) if it would help.

When my dad died, I cried so much that my eyelids/eye socket inflamed. I went to my eye doctor. He started giggling and he called in the nurses to look at my eyes, because I was some kind of text book extreme example of whatever kind of inflammation it was. So I was terribly depressed and my eyes hurt like hell, but I was sort of impressed with the whole thing for a while.My eye doctor is also weird. Very good, but weird.
I ought to go on the wagon, for the weight loss benefit. But a couple of weeks ago, I said to my husband “I cannot quit drinking until my mother is dead.” So yesterday, I ordered three cases of wine. Maybe I should send you some?

Better living through chemistry, as my hospice RN mother would say. 😉
Well? Did you call the doctor?
Or…You can let your friends come over and give you some normalcy (and wine) between the tears?
Random story, since sympathy simply will not do. Overheard from the living room tonight:4yo daughter: That man is really nice! He gave the other man food and a drink!Husband: Yeah, he’s the Burger King, that’s his job.No, there’s no connection to your blog other than the shared royalty. Resume crying now.
Shania – Yep, and I called her on it.Christy – But I hate wine. Do they have cake?Christy – Such good advice, you said it twice.Sherri – THAT is love and dedication for a parent, right there.Magpie – Damn! If only I didn’t hate wine.Magpie – Is Typepad trying to get me drunk?yook/ya – A motto I live by. Friend #3 – You bet I did. And when the nurse passed on the prescription uppage and asked “Do you want to come in and talk to the doctor?” I slapped her down with a speedy No. Because I’ve already been talking to all the strangers I need, I guess…Friend #3 – are you making fun of Christy and Magpie?Caroline – I can picture your husband saying that!
