Health - 16 July 2006

I have been suffereing from cancer for the last six years and it has affected my life style a great deal. I feed through a peg tube in my stomach and breathe thru a tracheostomy in my throat. I have also been told by my doctor, that my life span was limited. I have no regrets about dying and in fact when I had a brush earlier, Irequested my wife to take me home from the hopsital so that I could pass away in my comfy bed.
Even today, as I know how much time I have left, I have made all the required provisions for my wife, my teenaged sons and my aged mother - so that they will never be any financial difficulties. I have also made it clear that I am in way to be given any further treatment and let life just take its course.
I have lived a fantastic life, a life that most would not live in all their reincarnations ( if you believe in the same)- I have travelled the world, have modled for the best of designers, have studied abroad - all in all its been a complete life. No regrets.

I remember in thr begining of my junior year which was september 2005...when I breathed I had this sharp chest pain, that went from my chest to stomach, I felt as if I was dying, I got so pale, I had circles around my eyes, I couldn't even stand up I felt like I was getting a heart attack...i was sitting in the nurse's office for 1 hour and a half or 2 hrsfeeling so much pressure, I had to be sent from the nurse to the principle's office, I couldn't even stand up, I felt like I was dying while walking there, I had to walk all limpy and I wanted to cry... they wanted to call 911 but I said no I'll be OK, I didn't want my parents to get scared. Well that wasn't the first time that it happened, but that was the worst. I didn't get it anymore but I do get sharp pains that last around 2 minutes..I just would like to know what the hell was it? I know you would tell me to go to the doctor, but they don't say much, and my mother just won't understand...and I'm too scared...What the hell was it

My hubby cut the top of his foot with a hand held saw.

It is not bleeding at the moment but it is a 1" long 1/8th of inch wide, cut.

So does he need stitches or how should we treat it?

Someone told him to get stitch strips, are they any good?

Thanks so much for your help!!!

hi a girl said to me the other day when i was talking about my problems, her answer was, and although it was helpfull and kind i felt really bitter, because although i already no this she said, "it sounds like you have gone through some bad suffering needlessly" and it brought it home to me that i have suffered for an incredible amount of time since i was 15 im 29 now, and i feel really bitter and resentfull that i have suffered and gone through the mill with my mental health problems. i feel alone in my suffering like its just me thats suffered to this extent, when other people in life dont suffer at all, and have fresh fulfilling lifes and get their needs met. and they look fresh and baby faced like i once was. and the more i feel low and angry about it, the more it is you seem to see people happy laughing and giggling. and im struggling on feeling isolated and alone

There is no happy ending. I'm 28 years old and I have been single all my life. All I want is a girlfriend and I've always believed that it will work out in the end but now I'm older and wiser and I realize that it won't. There is no happy ending, so don't answer me with, 'the right one will come along' or something like that, because I know they won't.

I'm not one of those suicidal people who come on here crying, but if it all ended tomorrow I wouldn't mind. My life's not going to get any better, only worse. I know that I have nothing to look forward to. It's like there's nothing to live for and yet I keep on living. I don't understand why I am alive and being made to suffer so much.

So what do I do? What do you do when the only thing that could ever give you peace and make you happy is not obtainable? I'm just so sad and over everything and I've tried so hard in the past, but now I'm just an empty shell watching a clock.

I can't ever be happy and I'm only 28.
What will I do
