Jonathan
I am 18 and I am a senior in high school and I am a volunteer firefighter in training. I live in Maine and I have an amazing, beautiful, caring, and loving girlfriend that means everything to me.
How can I calm myself down so I can stop worrying about if my girlfriend is okay or not?
My girlfriend is having surgery on her back for her scoliosis in boston today, her surgery started at 7:30am but I'm not in boston with her :( because shes only allowed to have two visitors, which are her parents, because she is 16 years old, which means I can't even go see her after her surgery is over, I have to wait to see her when she comes home, so I'm stuck here on an island in eastern maine (where my girlfriends and I live) hundreds of miles away feeling helpless because I have no way of knowing how my girlfriend is doing and if shes okay or not :( I have to wait for a call from her mom or from her telling me how shes doing :( and its killing me, my heart has been pounding all day from anxiety, because I love her to death and she means the world to me, her and I have been together for over a year, she is 16 and I am 18, normally I'm strong, but right now I feel weak and helpless because I cant be there with her and because I have no way of knowing how shes doing until I get a phone call from her mom :( and I don't even know if I'm gonna get that call tonight
so does anyone know of any way I can calm myself down and stop worrying until I find out how my girlfriend is doing?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agocould my back be out of place?
for a couple of weeks (3 to 4 weeks) my lower back has hurt whenever i lean back and sometimes it when i do stuff that involves using my back it hurts even more. im an 18 year old guy btw. im not sure if it hurts because my back is out of place or what, i think it might be, because i do a lot of welding, metal forming, and other metal work in the metal shop at my school, i am able to build bigger things than everyone else is, because im the only "advanced metals" student at my school, because ive taken all the other classes and my teacher kinda created advanced metals as a class just for me, so the things i make are big and heavy, but anyway, im always carrying around heavy stuff and bending over while welding a lot, so it does put a strain on my back, but my back really started hurting after i picked up an anvil and carried it across the metal shop so i could use it, and ive done this several times since then too, so could my lower back be out of place because of this? and dont say go to the doctor, i already have a doctors appointment for it this week

People have been eating meat since the beginning of time, theres NOTHING wrong with it. Peta's protests just make them look even more stupid.
4 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoAm I the only one who thinks my sister was drunk when I had this facebook conversation with her?
(This is the conversation, it starts out pretty normal, but then my sister started saying some really weird ****, I think she was either drunk or high, what do you think?)
Jonathan:
our baby cousin has some pretty bad problems
carolyn had twins
Savanna:
ok
Jonathan:
and one of them was 6 pounds and the other was 8, the one that is 8 pounds was on bottom and she was squished, so her legs and hips and hands were deformed
Savanna:
i see
well isnt the other one just mean for sitting on their sister
Jonathan:
and she might have a nurological problem because they tried to bottle feed her today and the fluid just went into her lungs because her air way wont close up when she drinks, and when the fluid went into her lungs she didnt cough or anything, so the doctors think she didnt even feel that the fluid was going into her lungs
Savanna:
or her body didnt' react
its an automatic reaction
Jonathan:
her legs are in casts to fix them and so are her hands, but she might not ever be able to walk
Savanna:
she will
Jonathan:
her air way is to soft or something
she might have a nuro muscular problem
the other baby is just fine, but gabriella has a lot of problems, i dont even think gabriella has gotten to go home yet,
Savanna:
i say to you now she is normal
by the authority of Chirst
Jonathan:
we'll see, the doctors say they wont know if she has a nuromuscular problem until shes older, all we can do is pray i guess
Savanna:
they will find nothing
Jonathan:
i feel bad for her, that is a really crappy way to start out life
Savanna:
do you not have faith
I tell you she is healed
right now
Jonathan:
i have faith, but she is not healed right now, shes still in the hospital, if she can never walk, god made her that way for a reason
Savanna:
do you not know
we are not intended for this
do you no know that God longs to see his beloved healed
so he gave it already
why trust and declare all the doctor says as though the name of these things they say are higher than the name of the Lord
Jonathan:
doctors know what theyre talking about
Savanna:
exactly
so why trust them over the promises you know God has given
Jonathan:
god didnt promise that all children will be born problem free
Savanna:
dude this comes because we do indeed live in a broken world
but Has not the Lord said that he has all authority
has he not promised all things in him
Jonathan:
just pray for little gabriella
Savanna:
already did dude
why dwell on what I know is already done
Jonathan:
carolyn now has 3 children
Savanna:
ok
and my arm pits stink
Jonathan:
why the hell are you smelling them
Savanna:
idk
(Also, yes, I am a christian and for anyone who has a problem with it, I honestly don't care what you think)
