Goodmorning everyone! Well Shelly, your prediction came true...Friday night I landed myself in the ER....I was in so much pain, and it was going down my legs and such. They gave me a shot of toradol, 5mg of morphine and 2 5/325mg of norco, and a script for norco to go home w/.....I am feeling a little better, Im going to try to call the dr tomorrow but i have a feeling he wont be in w/ it being new years eve.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
What is everyone doing for New years? A good friend of mine and her husband are coming over and maybe a few of our other friends as well. Im going to put some meatballs in the crockpot and make a cheese type dip...All easy!!!
Aw KM, not good, but have fun on the pain pills :)
I am awaiting the arrival of my foster Mom from Alaska, whose daughter married a guy down here in SWFL. Amazing.
We will be attending our annual friends party - we celebrate Christmas too because its so hard to get 5 couples and all the kids together in one spot, so we do it on NYE. Pool party with hot tub and the new tiki hut bar. Alot of fun.
I gotta clean house.
Shannon~ I was afraid you would overdo and I was right,
Cathy~ I wanna come to your party...sounds like so much fun!
Shannon, sorry you ended up in the ER...hope you're able to relax a little and get that pain under control.
No big New Year's plans here. Hubby and I will probably stay home and spend it in front of the TV with Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark.
LOL Gale me too. They'll have to cancel New Years when Dick goes...just won't be the same!
I hope not to be intruding here but i am new to this whole thing the message board/ra/the severe pain ect. I was just wondering if i could ask a question or two?
How long estimated time does it take for the doc to get you on the right meds to help with the pain
Is there anything that you all know of that will help me to get some sleep i am exhausted
I recently found out that i have a very very high rheumatoid factor in my blood, i am 39 single mom of 2 girls 18 and 19 (thank god, don't think i could have handled this pain if they were little) My first apt with the ra doc is Jan 21, 08 and i have been really really scarred about this which i think is making my symptoms worse.I had foot surgery june 07 6 months later still cannot walk, ankles hurt so bad, foot is deformed and in constant pain, kept telling the surgeon something is not right, finally got a second opinion it took all of 5 min for them to say they think it is ra and send me for bloodwork. Now i am facing additional surgery and a possible foot/ankle fusion, again cannot tell you how much that scares me.
I came across this message board while looking for answers and can honestly say that i have read alot of your stories and feel a bit more comforted that there is a place i can turn to for support, so thank you
Hi and welcome to the board!! You might want to start a new topic so it can be seen by more people. Not everyone that is on the board reads the chat thread.
Shannon, I am so sorry. I was so worried about you and you would not stop....stop girl, stop!!! I hope you hoist you tushy on the couch and leave it there for NEW YEARS.
Mona~I agree New Years will be cancelled without Dick.
Bris~Hi I hope you are doing better.
Ladyjay~I agree with Shannon, I would start a topic and see where it goes. I am ready to get my feet looked at. I am feeling like you describe, but I have done nothing for them.
Well, I am still in purgatory with my MIL. Tonight I decided to make a Lemon Merange pie. WEll, besides looking over my shoulders and telling me what she would do(she's never made one from scratch). She had to look up in the cook book and point out that I did not bake the crust first. Well, it turned out like crap, but the crust was done!!! I will not put myself through this again with this whole put up and shut up philosophy from my husband. Next time she comes for three weeks...I will leave. (the kids will be welcome, but even my even keeled son is frustrated with what she is doing to me)
WEll, vent is over....oh, and of course I have been one huge flare through Christmas. I will not be doing a large dinner for Christmas next year. I cannot. I have hurt everyday since.
