I hit a a wall after learning about my MIL. Also, I have forgotten to take my iron for a few days and can feel it.  In addition, I have had a fabulous headache since yesterday. I am nauseated beyond understanding and my vision is weird.  So either I have a cluster migrane or a brain tumor.  Either way, at least I don't need a mastectomy this week.

What a rough week you've had! I hope things are getting better (well, sorted out in your head anyway). You are amazing Luz, I wish I could help you when you are down - this doesn't seem like the best week of your life :(

You are sweet Rachael. I am just sad that everyone has to get sick and die eventually. I realize I'm only a little ways behind them, but I can't stand the thought of my mother in law suffering. She's so selfless and hard working, and she loves me just because I'm married to her son--even though I don't make the best wife (or he the best husband). I never had a mother, and although a mother in law isn't the same thing, she's been a great example of how a woman *could* be. She has lived through abuse and poverty, two of the world's worst earthquakes in history, lost 3 children, cared for a child with cerebral palsy for 21 years, and totally turned her life over to serving others once her children were grown. She is someone I could never be, and I admire her deeply for her conviction, humility, and life-long endurance. She is 100% calm--which to me, is the worst part. I get cluster migranes a couple of times a year, and just needed to reasses things this week so I took a break. But I truly love you for caring. YOU, are the amazing one.
