Good Morning...It is 2:30am.  Stomach has finally settled down to a dull roar.  I was actually sleeping well until poochie wanted out.  I just wish the pain was at a dull roar!  I will catch everyone when the day is really getting warmed up. 

Take care...shel

HI Shelley, glad to hear you are ok, hope you have a lovely weekend, hugs Janie.

Well, I am off to Ohio soon.  Ill be back Sunday afternoonish.  I'll check in if im able. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Shelly~ Glad your tummy setteled down, hopefully your pain will too!

 

Shannon- Have a good weekend and a safe journey

Shelly- sorry you are in pain, hope it goes away soon and you get some sleep.Its a lovely friday afternoon here, the sun is shining and its warm too which is a big bonus after how cold its been.

My hubby has gone to his cousins sons funeral so please keep our family in your thoughts today. This was the young man who was severely depressed and no one had any idea how bad it was. He took his own life and was only 24. So tragic .

I hope everyone else has a good day

Hi all, Shel so sorry this medication is so hard on you and you still have the pain. I had a foot attack yesterday after walking the beach (just a little walk), sat in the Albertson's parking lot crying into my cell phone and my doctor's nurse said 'well, you could just cut it off', Horrible response!! What a dumb thing to say!!, I thought, when I was in real pain. She said they would call me back in the afternoon (but doc is leaving town!!), THEY DIDN"T. I sat on the couch after taking pain meds and it got better. Am I to just sit around???If i can't do the things I enjoy why am I on all this stuff? Ya wonder. I wanted to go out and play golf this morning but not sure what pain I'd be in.

Have a good day everyone, Lynda

Shannon~take care of yourself and your sweet little Kelsey.  Have a good trip and remember that death is not the end of life...it is the beginning of eternity.  What a wonderful reward, peace and no pain!!!

Pin~thanks a bunch...I am so glad you have sunshine...that is extremely wonderful at this time of year.  Usually it's pretty mucky on the island.

Janie~I am hoping you have a wonderful weekend too.  I shall surely try.

Lynda~gosh...I am so very sorry about your foot. Is there a change in the barometer???  You were doing so well, and I thought we were out of the woods with the foot. I am soooo sorry. 

So, I did end up sleeping fairly well, which I am glad for. I have a lot to do today.  Message at 9am....GP appt at 11am...going to talk about antidepressants and an Internal med doc referral(also going to talk about only having three RD appts on the referral).  Then at 3:30 I shall get the joint fluid replacement shot in my knee.  I am scared but excited about that one.  I am just not quite sure what to expect, but I am hoping that it will help with the grinding.  OH, and I am hoping to close on our refinance today.  That excites me more than anything else, b/c it gives me room not to work if I am having a bad day or need some rest. 

Mornin' everyone. I got better sleep last night and I only have a hint of morning stiffness. Maybe this isn't a flare! *fingers crossed*

Justin's tummy it mad at him but we're not sure why. I'm trying to get him to eat something decent, it's my belief that he's unable to recognize all of his hunger any more. Too many pains to tell which one is hunger and which one is just Chrons. Poor guy.

I work the late shift tonight, 2:30-11pm. Oh joy.

< =text/>_popupControl(); Shelly...glad the tummy is behaving for you. 

Shannon my lovie...have a safe trip and always remember you are a wonderful, loving, kind, caring, and the list goes on Mom and you will be handle everything with Kelsay with thoughtfulness, grace, and ease.  Remember that I am her for you and have been where you are and I am just about always available for you to talk to. 

Katers...glad you are doing better and had a good nights sleep.  Hopefully Justins tummy will calm down too.  Just yell at it. 

Janie...glad to see you again.  You always brighten my day.

Today is hot and humid here.  Weather I am just plain out tired of.  Running my a/c in October just does not compute in the brain.  Still waiting on Time Warner Cable to fix my phone.  I can call out...but I can't get calls in.  This has been going on for 2 days now.  They were supposed to call me on the cell between 9-12 to let me know what was going on but it is after 12 now and no word from them.  I held forever yesterday (3 times I held for a long period of time before I finally got through) and it was 1030PM before I got anyone to help with this.  I think I am going to ask for credit.  I normally do not because as we all know stuff happens...but now they are not holding up their end of the deal.  Guess I need to call them back and try and figure out what is going on.  Back to holding forever.  Sigh.  Oh well, I will do what little housework I can while I am holding to make the time go by.  Yesterday me and the girls passed the phone around to each other and I played mah Jongg to help the time go by on hold lol. 

Man! Never EVER take  Darvocet at 4:00am!! I let hubby over sleep, daughter was almost late for the bus, and I just woke up and it is 2:30pm!!

I had to take something this morning as my right hip was hurting no matter what way I went to sleep. It was like the outisde of the hip where the ball and socket is. Before I went to sleep last night I had my mom feel my hip and she said it was warm.

I feel asleep early, because I took my sleepy meds, I was just going t nap, because I felt "sick", but it did not work out that way. I got up at 1:30am and ate something and then went back to sleep until my right hip would not let me sleep any longer.

I feel much better today, pain & ache wise. Not much of it going on because I took that darvocet this morning.

Oh forgot to mention, we are probably off to the fair!!! I hope I can do the walking. I made it thru last year, but I was also on good meds too.

Wish me LUCK!!!!

As Pin says the UK (scotland is where I am ), has been beautiful today. Autumn with blue skies, a chill in the air, leaves falling... just beautiful. Sorry to hear that your tum has been playing up and hope that it settles soon. (Mines been absolutely horrid for 7 weeks).. lost some weight though.. although I'd rather have no upset over weight loss.

I had my replacement carpet put down to day (you know the brand new one that son spilt the liquid boot polish on) and it looks off centre... The hall way is not even in width all the way down but its really noticeable. We didnt notice it with the other one. They did tell me that because of the cut the pattern is going sideways as opposed to length ways. It doesnt show up against the stairs but looking down the way its definitely off. Hubby wants to ring and complain but I'm not sure they'll be able to do anything.... the house isnt straight, any thoughts?

Well I don't know how wide your hallway is, but could you try putting a side table against the wall that makes it the most noticeable? Maybe that will detract from it?

< =text/>_popupControl(); He could call and and see if there is a solution to this.  There has to be something that they can do about it. 

Good news!!  My phone works!!  I can get incoming calls again!  And whew glad it works because I had a friend in need and spent a good deal of time on the phone with her.  I did ask for credit because they did not hold up their end of the deal.  The problem was on their end...something with their system.  All I asked for was credit for the past 2 days.  He said the problem really started on the 2nd and he gave me credit for an entire week!!!  I said thank you but he didn't have to do that but he insisted on it. 

Grandbaby and daughter are coming to visit on Sunday for a few days!!!

So, despite the pain I have had all day...it has been a pretty good day! 

 

Wills...I would put furniture on the edges, so it is not as noticeable.  Just like Katie said.

My tummy is better, and the pain is better.  Started on Effexor today.  I hope that works, it seems to be ok so far.  I was a mess at the GP's office though.  I am going to try to do some counselling.  I need it. 

 

yeah for your phone and yeah for a good day...I wish it was pain free for ya Liz, but beggers can't be choosy!! 

 Hey Katie and Shelly....You guys here?

 

OK I'm going to bed...nighty night
