I don’t believe you can fully understand PPD unless you’ve experienced it. I had a mild case after losing a baby after 7 months of pregnancy. He was born live but only lived one hour. The strange thing was that I was unhappy I had gotten pregnant and didn’t really want that baby anyway. But, I got PPD and I cried and cried and was really neglecting my other two kids. (Thank God for my mom.) I thought I was just feeling guilty for the baby dying because I hadn’t wanted it. PPD wasn’t very well known way back then (that was 1962) and I never realized that’s what was going on until later when it was better understood.
So, I can understand completely what Chloe is going through. She also feels guilty she’s not feeling "motherly" or maternal toward Parker and doesn’t want to take care of him. And I think that losing Daniel has just compounded her feelings. I just wish she’d follow through with that doctor and take the pills Daniel prescribed for her. That’s the only way she’ll get better. Well, that’s not completely true, eventually, time will take care of it but that’s the hard way.
What I really, really don’t understand is all the doctors on this show and nobody (especially Daniel) has even have an inkling what’s wrong with her when the symptoms are so obvious and classic. I have to remind myself, IOAS, IOAS, IOAS… <sigh>
saying she is but I’d think because we saw her yesterday, she’s not going to just appear for one scene like that. I’m thinking she’ll come home to help Sami out.
to ask Chloe why she wasn’t taking care of her baby. A mother is not tied to their child 24/7 and it’s good for them to get away for awhile. Especially first-time mothers who have no experience with a baby. I thought Mel was being very presumptious and if I were Chloe, the only thing I would have said to her at all would have been, "Go jump in the river you witch!"
I did have by-pass surgery and, you’re absolutely correct, you are hooked up to so much crap you can hardly turn over. I had oxygen, IV, and heart monitors (which she has) and add to that, a catheter, a central line (in my neck), a constant BP cuff, an O2 monitor on my finger, stockings on my lower legs that were continually being pumped full of air and released and, I think that’s it.
But I will say, they got me out of bed right away, in the recovery room in fact. When they said they were going to get me up, I said, "Are you kidding? With all this stuff I’m attached to?"
I’m not a doctor either, although I’ve had enough surgeries to probably qualify as one, but I believe that a heart transplant (which is esentially what she had) would be even more severe. At least she reacted well to pulling her IV out. That was pretty funny.
I just can’t warm up to this character. I don’t know what it is but she is very annoying to me. I can’t picture EJ falling for her at all. But who knows, maybe they will surprise me.
I was 71 in December.
My grandpa didn’t have a ice house behind the tavern that made ice but he had a big room where they kept the big blocks. I can remember it was all made of big wooden planks inside, walls, ceiling and floor, and not painted, bare wood. We’d always go and pick up the small chips to suck on. Also, we’d follow the ice wagon (delivering ice for ice boxes…no, everybody didn’t have a refrigerator yet, even in town) and do the same thing, pick up the chips.
And remember following the mosquito fog machine down the street in the summer time, running through the smoke? OMG, no wonder I had cancer.
in the 40s my grandpa owned a tavern also. It wasn’t a bar, it wasn’t anything else but a good ol’ tavern, with the potbelly stove in the middle, a big long bar that you stood at, no stools, and a piano player off to the side. Nobody (that I recall) drank out of bottles there, it was all tap beer in glasses. However, when I was in my 20s, 30s and 40s, I don’t remember girls drinking out of bottles at all. I guess I first noticed it in the late 70s and 80s.
alcohol consumption on the show. This was something they showed a lot of, years ago, but then they seemed to stop it for quite some time. Now it’s started up again. I think the drinking during the day is especially something we could do without. I mean, how many people walk in the door, go into the living room and pour themselves a drink? Only alcoholics. I’m not a teetotaler but I don’t think this sends a very good message to the viewers.
As far as the beer drinking at the b.day party, I think that’s pretty much the norm these days. It seems like that age group do much more beer drinking than us "older fokds" did. In fact, the thing that I can’t get over (and I know this is ridiculous) is watching a woman drink out of the bottle. It’s something women never did until about the 80s. I don’t know, it just looks kinda "butch" to me.
I was thinking it was John’s because of Belle, I forgot about Isabella. I’m glad you have a better memory than I have. Thanks for setting the record straight.
But didn’t John’s company start up a magazine too to compete with Bella? What was the name of that. I think Belle was at one time doing fashion spreads for it.
my doors (other than the front one) are always unlocked. I figure if they are going to get in, I’d rather they open the door than break it. (Of course they’d have to face two barking dogs.) My back yard is completely walled in and if they are going to steal anything, they’d have to hoist it up over the wall. There is no gate to the front and the only other way out is through the garage.
I do the same thing with my car. I never lock it. Because I have a convertible and I’d much rather they open the door and get in than to cut the top. But…I NEVER leave anything inside the car…NEVER, so there’s really no reason to break in except to steal it and, again, I’d rather they open the door to steal it than to cut the top or break a window.
to give Lucas physical therapy. She started out as a cleaning lady at Titan. Then Eric got her into modeling for their magazine (can’t remember the name of it now) and she was doing that while going to PT training.
where they needed to investigate unless the doctor thinks the problem warrents it. It was just that he had to report it so it would go on record in case there would be any further problems.
I believe we saw that because something else is going to happen. This isn’t a spoiler, just my speculation that Chloe is going to do something for the CPS (Child Protective Services in Florida) to take Parker away from her and will give Kate a chance to get her greedy little blue claws into him.
