How is everyone today? I have to have dental surgery on Thursday so I am going to do everything that requires verbal communication...oops, my wife and kids just showed up! yeeeeeaaaaahh! Gotta go.
Enjoy those little girls. I am sure they will enjoy Daddy time.
To continue I hope we all get along today unlike yesterday where it seemed a lot of us were arguing and yelling at each other. I have found this site to be 90% uplifting and beneficial. I also do not remember paying to join this site, so it is probably too costly to moderate without us all paying a fee.
I hope everyone has a pain free day
peace
Chris
Have a great time with the kiddies Chris
Did you get you're car fixed? Hope so.
And you won't find me yelling and fussing with anybody! I'm a lover not a fighter
Aladdin it is! Good choice Lnncn. I havent seen that one.
Moana........you may be a lover, you are defianitly a STIRRER. But in a good way.You must have me confused with one of Joonie's "alter ego's"
Morning Karen
I haven't seen you post in a while. I also read way to slow to try and read all posts. How are you?
Sarah, it's also wet, damp and overcast here in Washington DC.
(I live right outside DC in Virginia)
Yukky day, but I am in a great mood for some reason.
Well its not a bad day here in IL...humid as all heck though. Gotta take Kelsay in for her drs appt for Kindergarten today. She got her shots last year so she doesnt get any this time around. But other then that I have LOTS of classwork to do. We did an extension and since it goes from when it expired i have till the 21st of Sept. before I have to do another extension. UGGGG yea so i'll have to spend another next month. But ya gotta do what you gotta do eh? Hope everyone is having a good day.

Maybe mona has a few alter egos of her own???
Humm me with alter ego's?? WE don't think so....
Will ya just answer my question about fleas??
Start our diets tomorrow. Going to dinner tonight to a romantic steak house. Our last hurrah before we start the diet. Think I'll try and dress up, if anything fits!! Can't wait to see my cheekbones again.
Sure feel better than yesterday. It was MXT day and I'm always in pain and brain fog on that day. Much better today. If my liver functions are up this week then I have to stop MXT. I shudder to think about that. If they're normal then I may request to have an increase in MXT to cover that last day.
Will check back in later after I'm sunburned, wind blown and exhausted. Lindy
Sunburned windblown and exhausted! Sounds like a great day
Sorry, guys if I offended any of you with my "hottness"
I'm so jealous, we're desperate for some sunshine. Its positively autumnal here and I had to put a blanket on the bed last night.... too cold. Today the heating went on and I (OH MY GOD), used my tumble dryer.... its AUGUST for goodness sake.
Noses on windows? My 17 1/2 year old thinks the panes of glass in my doors are for pushing the door open.... not the handle!
Hope it clears up over there. It must be very depressing day after day of grey I hate that.
Lindy...don't you forget, true beauty comes from the INSIDE. So again I say you will be beautiful tonightThe scottish people (I'm english married to a scot.... I dont hold it against him though
I was telling my RA nurse last week that I physically NEED sun to keep me happy and positive... she agreed and thinks that's why everyone seems so grumpy north of the border![QUOTE=LinB]
Hi Linda, Hot as in sunburned, not as in sexy. I just don't feel "hot" when my weight has shot up the way it has. As soon as I lose I'll be back to being "hot" or as "hot" as a 62 year old can be.
Sorry, guys if I offended any of you with my "hottness"
[/QUOTE]
You know, you older people keep us younger people laughing too....I'm sure you are "hot" for 62. I am 36, so I don't really know how it is but my mom, even though it embarrasses me, is 69 and has "woo hoo"
peace
Chris
I AM happy she is happy. She is a devout baptist christian who knows how to live life to the fullest and with no regrets. She takes care of me too. I don't know how she does it all but I am damn glad to have her. Now if I could only have some "woo hoo"............
The good news is when you find a treatment plan that works, you feel better and can regroup and go at life again. No it's never going to be the same, but it can be good, and rich and full. You learn to accept, and forget the pain, and begin looking outward, rather than inward again. Then you need to reach out to family and friends and teach them, and help them feel hopeful again too.
Well Said, Hill
Hill,that's what I wanted to say but for some reason my mind isn't working to well this afternoon. Haven't been to the pool yet. It closed today until 4:00 so will go later and then to dinner. The Y has some strange hours.
Linda, can you ice and hot that hand today. Might help for tomorrow. I iced my surgical knee last night and it worked well. Lindy
I just want my wife to come home. I am tired of hurting emotionally every day and I miss her terribly. We still kiss and stuff, she just thinks we have a lot of other things to work out before we worry about "woo hoo".I got up and checked my blood sugar cause I had an appt. with military doc(new primary care doc) b/s was 104. Also, my puppies woke me up licking my joints....yes they were hurting.
Went to the doctor and he said the diabetic cataracts were caused by a one time only use of pred. for a month. I do not have diabetes because my fasting b/s is not 120 or greater. Never mind that I have altered my diet and cut out carbs and drink a gallon of water(but he said you don't pee a lot) I don't pee alot because of the IC, and it still hurts.
I am supposed to be getting ready for FIL funeral. I feel like crap and just want to go to bed and sleep away this bad dream. I feel like an idiot even troubling the doc for my questions. So, I guess I need to take my achy body and get to packing and cleaning the house for hubby. We leave our house at 2am to make it to Denver to fly out at 6am.
Hmmm...my day so far...stiff and painful. But the heck else is new, eh? LOL! Danny has gone back to work!!!! It started out with some rain this morning...then the sun came out and it got real humid...now it is overcast again. I am looking forward to Danny's company picnic this Sunday. They are going to arrange to have wheelchair for me there. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to go because we can't afford to rent a wheelchair for me right now. It will be nice to get out of the house for a bit. Thankfully this year it is close to home. Just a 6 minute drive from the house.
Chris...keep working at your marriage. All the hard work will pay off in the end. It is totally understandable what you guys are going thru right now. Even as supporting and loving as my husband is, we still have our ups and downs. There are times I can't get enough woo hoo from my husband because he is afraid it will be too painful for me. Have fun with your daughters! We also have girls. They grow so fast and pretty soon they don't want to spend time with you.
I loved everyone's pics of their animals. It is amazing how much they actually make us feel emotionally and physically. I know I would be lost without my dog. He is so sweet. He still walks with me back and forth to the bathroom or the kitchen lol. I can't get a bath without him sitting in there and bugging me. So i put suds on his head lol.
Think I am going to crawl back into my bed and take a nap. This fatigue just really ticks me off. I get tired just being online and answering posts. I am going to take a Provigil on Sunday so I don't nod off in the wheelchair at the picnic lol. Honestly though hubby and I have had trouble communicating all through our marriage. He doesn't say things 'cause I will take it wrong and jump to conclusions, and I have tried to tell him in the past what I need, which translated to him...you don't have what I need. He even planned over my b-day this year, and I was not supposed to bat an eye. Long story short. I guess at that point I stopped talking so much to him, and he is so busy that he did not notice. I know what it is like to miss woohoo, because it has been six months. I never get kissed and when he leaves he turns his head for me to kiss him. Work through this and tell her how much you love her in spite of the RA. Work this out for me PLEASE. My estimation of men is that they get to 40 something and they no longer love their women. I just want to be loved and appreciated, and hugged and kissed. [QUOTE=Hillhoney]Chris, you need to upload your photos into photobucket.com or a similar location, then you will have URL. [/QUOTE] Ok...I will try after Star Trek! so sorry! No kidding I wonder if she's really rich or if she just shares what she's got, whether lots or a little. Okay! Now ... Joonie and Katie have had enough petting for the time being... IT'S MY TURN
I'm fine *and I say that with lots of love*
LOL Brisen another one of my smarta** younguns
Anyways I dont really know anything yet, bloodwork will take a few days. He gave me Mobic and Robaxin, and in two weeks is gonna give me Lyrica. Next is exrays but he thinks its really bad fibro and osteo in my neck and spine. Cholesterol came back, out the roof, so have to go back on Crestor. oh abd I have an ear infection and gained 20 lbs in 6 mos. He's not happy. Well duh!! Like I am! jeeze. Other than that I'm fineGeeze woman! What's Robaxin for? I'm sorry it wasn't a whole lotta good news for ya (understatement of the year, right?
Thanks Katie for trying to give me moldy cake
Robaxin is a muscle relaxer he wants me to try. Joonie likes it. I dont know if I want to take the Mobic, I have stomach issues too, darnnit [Quote=moana]LOL Brisen another one of my smarta** younguns
Smarta** - Ummmmm, well, yeah.
Younguns - HARDLY. I'm right up there with you ol' lady!
No way i thought you were in your 20's! Would that be because of my childish, immature, posts??? Because you'd probably be right............
Good Gosh this says two tablets 4 times a day 750mgs. Honkin HUGE pills too! I'll be a zombie, flexeril knocks me out!
No I love all my younguns, cyber kids and for real kidsFlexeril knocks me out too, but that's why it's so great. I just take it at night. If I need anything during the day, I just cut the pill in half and do it like that. I really like the stuff so far. I don't have any side effects. Oh, except for dry mouth but it's not bad.
Robaxin definitely kicks butt. And yes, those pills are HUGE! Good luck taking it 4 times a day.
Yeah thats what dr said, they're using Lyrica for fibro with great results. He said he didn't want to overload me till all the blood work comes back. I could use a little stoneingoh yay, someone else that uses the word "stellar"!!!! Justin makes fun of me for saying it............lol
Thanks Guys...Have a safe trip Shelly Brisen (I love that name) I will probably start with a half tomorrow, already took flexeril and have my aromatherapy collar on.
Boy I hope the Lyrica works as well for me
I'm so sad that I missed all the gossip and chit-chat today!! :( :(
There's always tomorrow, right?????????? WE GOT THE BEST ER DOCTOR EVER this AM when I took Justin in. He was so nice, and he listened to us, and we were only there for an hour and 15 minutes. That's gotta be a record...
Our ER sends you free movie tickets if you wait longer than 30 minutes.Shut up. Are you serious???
And OH. So that's what it is. I take flexeril, and love it. Yeah, I had to stop the mobic because of stomach problems. :( But it was working, so that kinda pissed me off.
Mona - I take Robaxin for neck spasms and it's pretty strong stuff. I can't take it if I'm working 'cause it makes me all kinds of spacey. I usually only take it at the end of the day, when I know I can sleep. I'm on 750 mg. and take 2 tabs at a time...hefty dose.
I'm all cozy in the bed with the lap top. It's so exciting to finally be able to USE this thing online!!!!
I'm going to go watch my star trek and vedge out 4 ahwile....Bye!Oh sure, the past few nights I miss out on everyone being up and having fun, and now that I'm around NO ONES HERE!!
Alright I'm totally done for the night. See you tomorrow folks!!!!
