Letting Go

So I haven't been online in...... forever.
The reason I am now is that I can't go to school, so I have the day to do with as I please (well not exactly).

My grandpa had a stroke. He spent all of Sunday in the ER and then they moved him to a real room. he fell into what my dad calls a deep sleep, but what is essentially a coma. My dad decided to take him home, so my grandpa is sleeping in his room (he's lived with us on and off all my life).

He's not going to live more than a few weeks, so my entire family's staying at my house, with the exception of my cousin with the stomach flu.

Needless to say, I've spent most of the time not at school (and some at school) crying.

I couldn't face going to school today. I went on Monday and Tuesday, but I couldn't focus

Oh, and more stress:
My dad's going to sell his house, but it has to be on realty tour by Tuesday. With 9 people in the house, it's going to be kind of difficult to clear everything out.

And even more stress:
My body seems to be waging a war on me. I understand how the cold sores could be stress-related (kind of), but random aches and pains that make it nearly impossible to either hold still or stand up sometimes?

Weird.

my sympathies about your

my sympathies about your grandfather...

also, stress can hugely affect every part of your body. Practice slow, calming breathing and take walks. It might help with the pains, and with the everythign going on in your mind.

Be yourself. 'Cause if you're busy being somebody else, who's gonna be you?

um

oh wow thats to bad-and i still dont know what to say, but thats me i guess!-just remember to spend as much time with your grandpa as you can, to help him, to remember him. It also must be crazy with everyone over, i know i wouldnt be able to take it, i hate when people-besides the ones that live there-are in my house so if i were-then again you have 9 in which case i have 3 members of the house hold, 4 if you count my 18 month old brother-i would probably be banging my head against the wall. So heres to keeping your head up...
It also must be stressfull having to move in a time like this!
And sorry about all the aches and pains, and you probably dont want to hear this as much as i dont want to say it, and i am NOT saying that this is the cause its just a possiblitly, but it could be depression. Trust me i get aches and pains all the time from it, especially when i get that feeling in my wrists that my bloods to thick, it sucks but things could be worse.

Come Josephine in my flying machine
Going up she goes up she goes
Balance yourself like a bird on a beam
In the air she goes there she goes
Up, up, a little bit higher
Oh, my, the moon is on fire
Good-by

Oh, god. I'm so sorry, and I

Oh, god. I'm so sorry, and I can't even offer proper sympathy, because I don't know what it feels like. :(

I don't want to say for certain, but it sounds like the aches and pains are stress-related. It could be something else, but from experience, that's what happens when I get stressed-it hurts horribly.
