Thank you, fishsandwich. That made me feel good. I had a first grade class that drilled in punctuation and basically anything else in English.

I am having even more stress, if that was possible. I bet my mom's knee will become infected. The wound is getting redder. She has a history of infections (she has Sjogren's syndrome), actually as time goes on it gets worse. Her back is still technically infected even though she had the surgery last year. She has so many health problems that she goes in for yearly surgeries, in fact sometimes more than one a year. This year, the knee surgery is the second surgery of the year. I have a saying for this. It's called "Real to the extreme." What this means is that with my mom (the only one that can keep the house going, as she is the only functional person in the house that has decent activities of daily living skills) when even its something simple, it goes for the worst. A cough? Pneumonia. A pain somewhere? Dangerous surgery incoming.

Now my dad is having back pain as well and I bet it will need dangerous surgery. Dad cries out in pain yelling and screaming when he has to have surgery. The last time he had major surgery, I had a psychotic break from all the stress. I can't deal with people in pain, it hurts me to watch. What is weird is that my mom is not even that old to be having so many health problems. She is only 57. Some of the problems she is experiencing is more like someone of an age of more like in their 80's.

I forgot the rats and mice that are in the house still. I am having that stressor bothering me as well.

I know I am forgetting other stressors. It is just too much going on.
