Mornin'!
I'm still battling this INSANE insomnia. I've given up on it at this point. I was forcing myself to lay in bed, bored out of my mind for a few days there. I'm to the point where I'm like "screw it"
Katie, how do you get him to pose that way??
So, my knee is huge and very very not pain free. This is a bad bad time for this with the wedding reception coming up this Friday, my son and DIL coiming in on Tuesday, other son and his girl on Thursday. I was planning to spend my day cleaning, but I ask you, if it hurts this bad while I'm just sitting here, how am I going to get my stuff done?? I feel like crying.......I don't have time for this. I don't want my boys to see me like this.
So sorry Link. Your boys are grown men they can handle this. Do you have pred? Have you called the doctor. Get some help getting your stuff done. And take a pain pill. It will still be a wonderful x-mas.Katie kids like boxes also. What meds are you on is it pred keeping you awake. I was like unable to wake up yesterday. Took 10 mg of pred. Well now i am not sleeping. I took a pain pill but oh my am i ever glad i took it. I had such painful swollen joints. But wow, i have an efliction of like bee stings everywhere. Painful pins and needles everywhere. Had a little of this yesterday. Whamy i can not sleep to nerve racking was jumping all over the bed. And the tip of my finger is like one big bee sting. Have a headache also top of my head that is unusal. But Link if you want to cry. Well thats o.k. to. I have done it a few times myself. I am sorry I so want your x-mas to go differently than this. But it time to worry about yourself and not everyone else.Thanks Milly. I have some pred left over from last winter but I have resisted taking it. How long do you have to be on it to see results? I will take it if it means the difference between sitting on the sidelines in pain and dancing with my son at his wedding party.
I did take some vicodin and some ibuprophen and it feels like it's kicking in now, so that's good.
I got the sweetest high heels for this party, will be very sad if I can't wear them. Plus I'll have noting to match my dress. But it's only Sunday, I guess their is still plenty of time to normal up before then.
I know my son's can take it, but so far they haven't been home to see their mom all crippled and I know they'll be sad for me and I just don't want that.
Hey Milly, how are YOU doing?
Katie, yes that was absolutely adorable!!! Do you have a vicodin or your muscle relaxers. Yep, aunt Flo is probably the culprit, but it is something to talk to a GP about. You cannot lose a week of sleep and still keep your RA at bay! (yes, I am mothering)
Milly how are ya doin' girl? How are the antibiotics? You do sound beter...if just a little bit!
Link...gosh I am sorry. The pred should help within twenty four hours. I would go ahead and start it now and plan on weaning next week. You need to be at the top of your game this weekend to have fun, and be able to do my favorite, the mother-son dance!!!! I'm prayin' for ya.
Yep, got the basement cleaned...not to perfection just looking better, and have been up and down and tossing and turning all night. I am better now, because I took another vicodin. I have got to have sleep with MIL here. We also had a mini-crisis with dd this weekend. She is overstressed and wanted to break up with her boyfriend, b/c he was the easiest to eliminate. So, I finally got through to her last night after a speech and debate meet. I finally asked her if he is a soft place to land, and she said yes, and I said...oh so now we eliminate our soft places to land!!! Yep, gotta love the stress of the Jr. year...not!
Well how am i . I do not know? Strange. I am not kidding this is a wild pins and needles day. Lots of them everywhere and painful. Joints have been bad. Stomache is holding up. The skin coloring on my hands is getting better almost the same color as the rest of me. Some side effects to the meds. Mostly RA and fibro stuff. I have above and beyond restless body syndrome. I have never had it this bad or this painful. It woke me up. I had a painful area on the top of my foot friday night and maybe a few other places had the pins and needels thing but freaky today. My knees and shoulders are unbarable if i do keep on the pain pills. I uped my pred a smidge yesterday and actually went from one vicoden a day to two. I have made sure i got 100 percent daily naturally of potassium from my diet. But the antibiotic is working better than the last one i was on. I can see and it is not blurry. I mean i still need my glasses but now my glasses actually work. So i am just hanging in there. Milly, what does the doc say about your "pins and needles"?Shelly, it seems that I should know this but how old is your daughter?
Speaking of daughters, it's a good thing mine got herself gounded today (sassy) because I will need her to help me with cleaning.
I'm paying for it. Finally went to bed at 4am. Woke up at 11 and I thought I was going to come through the roof. I had a little friend growing on my hand (swelling)
I'm starting to get really excited about going up to see mom and dad!! Yay!
Oh Link, I NEVER get her to pose, she's just THAT cute. All on her own!!!
And hey, who can resist free bananas, right?
Katie~ just so you know and so I don't end up on a "people say the stupidest things" thread....I didn't think you posed your cat that way. I was only kidding.
Milly, bananas? When I first read that post I that maybe some of your pain killers had kicked in.
Oh oh, I feel a bad joke coming on!!
Milly, Mel thought you were 'going bananas'
*badda bing!*
Link, I hope that swelling goes down for you. I know how much you want to wear those heels and be able to dance. You know, you could always go barefoot halfway through the reception. I've been to several where I've seen people do that.
Shelly, I hope you get some much needed sleep soon.
Sleep for you, too, Katie!!
LMAO!! I thought she was losing it!
Nah, the 'nanners are still in the car. hehe oh well!
Thanks Mel, yeah that's what my mom said, we'd all just go barefoot. Solidarity, baby!! Still, I'd like to not be crippled for it. We shall see.
I love cold bananas. You know I cannot type that word without hearing Gwen Stefani in my head???
Definitely get that checked out, Milly. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.The sh*t is bananas,
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
Have you seen the dolls she put out?? They're kinda creepy.
OOH!! Did you ever get a chance to see the Barbie in the wheelchair?? And they've got this one that's supposed to be a dog walker or something. The dog that comes with it actually "poops"!! I kid you not! We saw the commercial and bust out laughing.
That is what I feel like today.....fricken Walgreens wouldnt sell me the wallets I ordered of Kelsays for the christmas cards
Wouldn't sell them to you??? Whaat?? Are they copyrighted or something??
Do you have a scanner at home? Maybe you could scan them and print them off on photo paper?
A pooping barbie dog??!?!? WHY!?!?Milly, that's just awesome! I have an aunt that does that sort of stuff, too. Mel, thats what I was thinking. Since its way to cold to do anything cute outside, the mall is my next choice. I have to go to the mall anyway so might as well..Im gonna go in the morning since NOBODY is there first thing when they open up...
[QUOTE=arriscolwell]A little of both I think. They sell them in the barbie aisle, but they come in really nice boxes. It's just creepy when they try to make dolls out of REAL people. Like the Hillary Duff doll, or the Lindsay Lohan doll. They never really come out looking right anyway. [/QUOTE]
OMG I just read this... and my first thought was Soylent Green (google it, youngsters!!!)
