I'm keeping up my gratitude up and takeing care of myself amid many different issues.I have'nt worked lately so I feel financial insecurity.My daughter is in town from medical school and my 17 son is learning to drive. My Mom is sick and I can't funtion well.I'm lucky to have a lot of support and the bottom line is that I can't help to much I have to know my limitations in order to beat this dragon.I'm taking my meds on time ,eating good, tons of water and reaching out to my support groups I will survive. This TX is a real lesson in humility.Typing this out helps me cope better and I will survive and keep my TX doable Peace to all

Hey Rob,
Keep up the great work!! You are a true power of example.

Peace and Happy Holidays to You!!!!!!
Hoff

Hang in there Rob.
IT IS DOABLE.

Thanks Just took a shower shined my shoes and I'm gonna force myself to take a short stroll to see my kids. What a difference clean clothes a shower and a walk can make. It's better than just hanging in the house!!!Thanks for the support from this phine phamily.Together we can survive. Just from my perspective "An addict alone is in very bad company"so I make myself reach out more WE will survive!!Gratefully yours and Peace to all.

keep on keepin on Rob the drummer...

Thanks for the pix. I played with a decent high school band when I was a in High School in the late sixties.They made me tuck my hair in my hat.There were only two students with long hair in the whole school and you had to wear a jacket and tie which did not impress me I went to Fillmore East almost every weekend to sneak in and I saw soom awesome shows though those years.
Just came back from a scrimage with my son and daughter and Mom who still works in the school.I made sure to dress my best even though I feel like homemade shit.Got invited to go shopping which I hate was gonna go but I've had to slow down my pace. Came home to rest, eat ,and drink water If I go out I hate having to run to the bathroom!So I'll rest and hope I can go to my support group tonight. If not I gotta know my limitations.It's seems whenever I have a decent day I burn myself out totally.Then I'm good for nothing for days.So this is turning out to be a day in the life. Just for today! Peace

Rob...keep pacing yourself,,your doing great..the dragons on his last leg and the battles almost won !

Hey Rob,

I never played in the band BUT.. I was a band-Mom when my son was in high school. In his 4 years in marching, concert, orchestra and jazz band I never missed a performance...and rarely missed rehersals too. I was there more than most of the Mothers... and I savoured every moment as I was aware while it was all going down that this was a special time in our lives that could never be recaptured or duplicated. I think I am lucky to have had that attitude about it...as there are a lot of Dads who just will never know what they missed.... High school band has made all the difference in his life so far and I suspect always will. (I would bet that this has been true for you too) And even though I appreciated all those precious moments to the fullest.. I still would give anything to go back for just one more performance .....oh gosh..I just made myself cry.

So here's to all the veterans of High School Band.. and the Moms and Dads who were there..

Daniel My daughter played a mean flute so I went to all her concerts and when she got into basketball hard core(but she was also 1 honors)I coached her team lobbied for equal rights for the girls(there was a disparity of treatment)and coached her traveling team to a state championship in which she hit the buzzer beater.And for my son I took him for violin lessons which he did well til he discovered baseball so I let him choose that and coached his Little League(ass't coach) and helped in boy scouts.The joy of being a "hands on" Dad is without parallel!So you should be proud as you are.Let this inspire your TX.
As for me since my last post on shot day 40 I went to dinner with my kids,then went to a support group I attend.Came home ate tooks meds made some phone calls to reach out and thats what got me through the day and eveing.And I bid you all good night I will try to rest otherwise I'll be back later Peace

Hey Now Rob....Congrads! Checked the caller ID and saw your number came up. Sorry I was'nt around to chat.....Dark Star Orchestra/NEOB organ donor awareness shows all weekend for me. Rock On! Only 8 more to go for you.
