Unhappy Sorry, Debbie Downer

Why can't we all just get out of PGN? Tomorrow marks day 158 for us. Sooner or later you have to hear good news right?

It's been a little over 5 weeks since our last resubmit. I swear, if we get ko'd again, my dh might have to commit me.

This is stressing me out so much that I have had a headache since Sunday night. That can't be good... I can't get rid of it, it has to be due to PGN.

I'm sorry to be such a downer, but I know you guys would understand and listen and not judge.

You came to the right place to get empathy. I hear you. This whole mess is a special brand of torture. Fret away. Consider this your proverbial shoulder.

Hi Sarah,

I am with you (figuratively and literally). I am sorry the process is so difficult. I hope we hear good news soon.

Have you thought about joining us in chat sometime? I think Thursday night is our scheduled night, but there is usually something going on everynight. Support, cheering, venting --all mixed in with some very clever, witty, people. The dose of humor I get at night makes it easier to go to sleep knowing I've spent another day away from the little boy I love in Guatemala.

Peace,
Jill

You will get out...we were there with PA for 138 days. We have friends who went into PGN in May and finally got both of their children out this week.

The cold, icky weather doesn't help.

Our "baby" came home at a year, so I totally understand your frustration. Please don't beat yourself up and start counting from the re-submittal date. Your case is proof that submitting without PA didn't help - you poor thing, you still got another ko. Know that you are in our thoughts. Try to do something fun this weekend.

It is so okay to be a Debbie (wah wah)...

I sure was at the end. We were closing in on 5 months in PGN and I was just sure I was going to lose any shred of sanity I had left.

I agree with Jill...join us in chat...we're goofy and it is fun. I know it helped me a lot to be in good company.

Hope we see your OUT very, very soon!

I'm another one who understands how you feel. Every time my mind ventures toward PGN I get an almost sick feeling in my stomach at the thoughts of another KO.

I hope that you hear good news soon!

Hang in there!!

It sounds like you need a little just for you time... Maybe you could go get a massage at the health club or something? Really relax for a day help those headaches and yourself a bit. PGN will take care of itself and things will get moving again and you need to be relaxed and ready for the next big step of picking up!

Understand!

I understand completely...Vent away.

I dread the idea of another one too.

Best on an OUT instead!
