This is a first

Can you tell I'm having chat withdrawls?

What did santa clause bring ya? Good stuff?

I'm doing a butt load of laundry and cleaned out both refrigerators...I have so much junk left over.

I've also been having fits with my lower back. The past few weeks, the pain has been horrible in the area where it was fused (L4-S1). Last night I didn't sleep more than about an hour, in little bits at a time. But it's feeling a little better, since I didn't do much today.

I haven't been able to read more than just one or two posts at a time, so I don't know how everyone is doing. Are you two doing okay? How did you hold up with all the extra activities of the holidays? We should all be able to get back to normal soon.

Be well, Nini

 ooooh nice! I bought Breanna a new digital camera and an update for her computer. New graphics card and more memory. Both the girls play Second Life and it takes sooo much space.

I still have my tree and all my decorations up do you?

Happy Birthday Nini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The tree is still up, but all the decorations are down. Dale will take the tree down this weekend.Nini, are you taking anything for your back?

 Happy Birthday Nini!

Oh hon so sorry about your back...Gale sure knows how that feels. My legs are bothering me but not as bad now... Christmas was great.

What can you do for your back...have you been to the Dr? Thats a PITA!

 I wish you were here to eat up all my goodie leftovers. I have fudge, and cookies, and hard candy, and some ham, and a cheese ball, coconut pie and French silk chocolate pie, and I don't know what all. I sure don't need it!

Gale, I've had back trouble all my life. Now severe OA, severe scoliosis, DDD, DJD, stenosis...etc., etc. I know you also have back problems, so you know what I mean.

My pain specialist has me on Methadone for my main pain med, and we just changed my breakthru med from morphine to dilaudid. That's the fast-acting one for pain between doses of Methadone. Lately, I've had to take the dilaudid about 2 hrs. after the Methadone. Then I have to lay down and wait for relief.

The pain is never gone, but the meds usually keep it managable. But lately, not so good at night especially. I think I'm not meant to sleep.

I hope you are doing okay!

Hugs, Nini
