Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once again, my sugar gliders are saving my life in a very real way.

For those that don't know, I struggle very severely with Depression, made worse by a myriad of medical mysteries that they keep trying to solve, but never do. I recently was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but still there is a lot not explained. I was doing okay, going to Therapy for one thing... when a week ago I slipped on the ice and tore something in my ankle to the point that I can't walk AT ALL. Which means I can't go HOME because there are too many stairs.

So I am living in my parent's basement with a wheelchair... possibly for WEEKS. My mom and roomie are taking care of my gliders (and turtle and tortoise and crabbies and fish) for me and I sit here for hours doing NOTHING on the couch because I can't even get to the bathroom with out help. Not exactly good for my Depression. And I feel like crap and, I'll be honest, I wanted to die.

So, amazing move by my dad who I often hate and who on many occasion has said the gliders are not even allowed to VISIT their house because "they smell," and regularly tells me I should get rid of them, suddenly agrees with my mom to MOVE THEM TO THEIR HOUSE SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF THEM HERE!!!!!! Actually give me something to care about and DO and love and live for! I am so excited! I have missed them terribly!

And soon... SOON... my parents will bring my gliders to me again! I feel like I am getting sugar babies all over again! I am all excited and anxious to see their sweet faces! I have missed them. My babies.

Oh, I am so sorry for you! I hate being away from my babies. ANY of them (but especially my suggies.)

I actually plan to get hedgies as well some day. mrgreen
