Ever been so disappointed you couldn't think straight?

Hi mentalward, So sorry to hear of this. I imagine you just went wild. I would of! Ya, I've known the feeling but probably not as serious as your problem. When I broke up with my ex, I lived with him for nearly a year trying to save for my own place for me and the girls. Well things got so tense between us that I just could not stay there. I had the money and it was a matter of find a place affordable and large enough for me and the girls. After a really bad night, I just moved us all out and we moved in with my mom in her miniature little one bedroom apartment. I have at this point just wanted my own place for so long that I can taste it and it is feeling like every deal is falling thru when one day I get the call. I can move into this apartment on Tuesday. That was 4 days away. Monday night finally arrived and i called the landlady to set up a time to meet and pay the deposit etc. She informed me that the workers were not done and I could not move in until Thursday. It was only two days but it was everything. I had taken the time off from work and arranged for help. I just broke right there. It was devastating to me and two days seemed like a lifetime at that moment.

Are you allergic to tape or latex? My mom is and she used to get that reaction, blisters and all. Now she asks them to use paper tape. She's wearing a neck brace, too, but hasn't complained about it rubbing her chin. Can you put some cotton there or something else soft? Yes, I know how it is to look forward to something and be disappointed. When I had my appendectomy last year I was anxious to have the doc tell me I was fine but my appointment was postponed for two days and it turned out I had an infection, which was a major inconvenience and pain in the a$$ for the next two months!! (the delay didn't matter, I got the infection in the hospital, I'm quite certain of that) Hang in there!! Hang out here with us, we'll not forget you're here and maybe the time will pass faster.

May the person who caused the scheduling conflict have to wear a brace and deal with a flea infestation at the same time. Amen.

I am so sorry that you are having a difficult recovery. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I would be pi$$ed off if my doctor had to reschedule my appointment. I am sure the scheduling conflict is a trip to the golf course for the good ole doc...lol And as far as being stuck in the house...I can feel your pain on that one. My husband's motor blew and he has been driving my car to work for the past SEVERAL months. I am not someone that can stay in the house. I like to go out and about. I am hoping he will get his car fixed soon (big expense). Hope the next week goes by quickly for you.

..rather than disappointed i would be more like irritated....im sorry to hear your situation...i understand the feeling that you are very excited of something in the middle of your excitement you learned this will not happen or this will be postponed or something like that..indeed very disappointing and irritating..i wonder why these people are too insensitive of what other people will feel if they do that....i really hate it when an appointment is made and will be postponed or move to another date!...but since there is nothing you can do but to wait for the scheduled date, i believe you deserve more than just a holiday once it is done...good luck and hope for the best!

Its kinda disappointing like knowing that you thought what you have done is right but in the end you mess up and you mess all what you done because of the failure of what you have done. Well its makes as human after all!

I am so sorry. At least you are on the road to recovery. Don't let it get you down too bad. After my son going through what he did, I do understand. It was quite a long road to go down. I am glad you are feeling good enough to be aggravated about it.

Marti I am not getting Notification for your Discussions I have been so worried about you I sent you a Message which for some unknown reason sent 4 times I was so happy to see that you have been here I really hope that you have the Neck brace of by now, I have had to wear one once and I know how you are feeling Love you Sweetie and glad to see you are ok

Hi dear, I so much feel your pains. I have been in almost the same type of predicament. For the rash and rubbing under the chin try cutting a piece of a soft t=shirt or soft cotton material and put some type of lotion on it, a gob of it and some powder too and place it in the area of the raw chin tucked down in the brace. I'd use some triple antibiotic or cordisone creme. As for the lonliness ...we may not be much but we are here for you. I wish I could be there to help you do what you need done. I would, you know... I had a cast on my arn with this awful metal contraption and I was fixed so I could not move my arm or wrist at all, not one iota, or the timy sliver of bone holding my wrist together would snap and I'd have to have surgery with lins in my wrist and all. It's finally time to go get the casts off, yes you read right casts, two of them. One on the top of my arm and the other one from my elbow to the tips of my fingers with a curved piece of metal connecting the two. Let me tell you it was awful. I get there all excited to get this mess off and guess what? They took those off and x-ray my wrist and it's not healed. They have to plasce more cats on me and I have to wait another 6 weeks to take this one off. I cried. I was so upset. NOt only did this one happen then I have to have one only a month after finally getting these off. I had to have one on my leg...same thing all over again. Except this time I can't drive. I have to depend on other people and like you no one remembers I'm waiting on them for a week to take me to buy food. I have a family to feed! I itch like crazy. I can't take a bath cause I can not get the cast wet. My leg and foot are raw...and the itching drove me crazy!!!! I could not put my foot down for the same reason as before, just a tiny sliver of bone holding my bone on. I have a cast from just below my hip to my toes. I had to get it replaced twice. At this point I'm asking why? Why do I have to wear the casts so long that this has happened before. They take a closer look at the x=rays and say uuummm hummmm, okay so I am in the 3rd stage of osteoparosis whatever that meant! They said I have to be careful now and change things I do I can not do them any more! My life changed. I have to put up with casts for 2 or 3 times longer than normal and yes, I have broken my foot a few more times. So, I can honestly say, I feel your pain and frustration. I hope you get good news. I'd tell them if someone canceled out to put me in their spot.

Hey, rant all you want. I can't imagine the frustration. No way are they thinking about how uncomfortable that must be. I mean another day or so I could understand, but a week? That doesn't seem right, not to mention unfair.

argggg!!! I wish I could help! when the doc told me I couldn't drive for 2 weeks after my shoulder surgery, I was in the car 2 days later and got one of those steering wheel balls to turn the car with one hand. I think he thought the meds would have my unable to drive, except I was ONLY taking them when the pain got bad and by the 3rd day I was feeling like doing stuff AND I was getting calls from my mom, friends, and a few others I couldn't turn down. I can relate, tho, after the boob job, I wish I had been taken off of driving for a week or so!

Just a little more patient my dear, the week will soon be over and everything will be back to normal. Am happy for your recovery, God bless...

That sucks!!!! Another week happens to be another seven days which happens to be...well..we won't go into the hours and the minutes that another week of suffering means. No..of course they aren't putting themselves in your shoes..they still have the skin on their neck!

Oh yes, I am feeling disappointed at the moment. My trip to China is once again canceled. I was so looking forward to it then it was canceled due to the chartered flight from China could not come in the end. This is the second time cancellation. I feel like it was never meant to be, and I would get cancellation after cancellation if I persist in trying. I do not know what I should do about it.

I've never been THAT disappointed, because I don't want disappointment to run my life, even for a few minutes!
