OT: How was your saturday? | Arthritis Information

I had a nice relaxing Saturday...even slept in until 9:00 today. Did some shopping then out for lunch with my husband. Did some scrapbooking with some of my daughter's wedding photos and then did a few silly quizzes on facebook. (I waste too much time with those)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

facebook eh? Have you tried twitter yet?

I have been reading some of those postings off of twitter, some funny stuff on there. But very confusing about who is saying what and for what reason and in response to what.

oh I am not into facebook or twitter. I have gone there just to peek but you have to register and I don't want to. I guess my kids would not invite me to be their friends but I don't think I want to know what they have on there.
Joonie- I forgot about your infusion- I guess you would want to skip Sunday. Hope it perks you up!
Kelstev- 9 AM!!! Gee I haven't done that in ages! Sleeping in for me is waking at 7:30!

well wannabe... I vote that you sleep in tomorrow! Until 9am! I know I will be if it is raining again.

Yeah... I hope it perks me up too. I bet me hubby does too. I have been a bit of a downer. I have decided that I am going to die by the age of 42. Actually told someone that today, other than my hubby and the guy was like so... how long is that from now. I was like 12 years. But actually... I would be surprised if I live pass 50.

I don't know what it is- I just can't sleep that late! I guess because all week an alarm clock gets me up at 6 AM.

I can understand why you would feel down- you had a stretch of feeling pretty darn good and then got a bad break again. I don't know why things can't stay consistent. I sure hope your predictions about yourself are wrong. I hope instead you get a break through with your treatment and you are healthy and happy until a ripe old age!

Yeah... me too on everything you said.

I just get like this when I am having a hard time dealing with all of this mentally.

I was actually wondering if this disease can cause you to be put in a nut house. I guess that is my new question for my hubby when he gets home from the in-laws.

I had him bring me home because I just could not stand to listen to his uncle talk to me like he does. If you were my wife I would have you exercising everyday. I would make you walk to the lake every morning... that is a good 10 miles. Com'on get up lets go outside and run to the end of the driveway.

I was crying. Hubby thought it was because I was in pain, but I told him why. He said his uncle was born a natual dick wad.

Well... I am off to watch something. And since my pics are being plastered all over the internet because I came back... such a nice welcome back. Oh man- there is one in ever crowd isn't there? How about if he goes and jumps in the lake?

I agree about the nut house. I feel like I am crazy half the time because first I feel bad enough to go on a biologic than I feel like I'm not bad enough, the MTX causes me such confusion at work the day after I take it- but I'm never quite sure if it's the medicine or is it a coincidence that confusing stuff happens on Thursdays? Then I 'll get a clear headed Thursday with no problems. Also I think there are a lot of emotional things connected to RA that make you feel nutsy.
Joonie...I looked at all those pics. Cracked me up when I saw your brother's gaybag. I forgot all about thatMy stepmom passed away a few days ago; I've been busy helping dad sort things out. I was staying at his house for the last couple weeks to help him care for her in her final days. It was rough. Glad it's over - she suffered quite a bit those last few days. Now I have to get my own house back in order. Leaving 3 men to fend for themselves for a week is never a good idea! My back is absolutely killing me... tonight is the first night in over a week I'm sleeping in my own bed! I've been sleeping on the couch in dad's living room. OUCH! Tonight's definitely a tramadol and lunesta night - I need to transition back to "first shift" since I've been doing overnight CNA duty. I'm physically tired but not mentally tired right now - I need to knock out the old brain cells for a night and try to get the clock reset! [QUOTE=Linncn]Joonie...I looked at all those pics.

My Drs are all saying that I need to go to the hydrotherapy pool to help me loosen up, get some exercise and maybe lose weight at the same time, but pain is my daily companion and winter it is awful, but my hubby said, regardless of the pain he wants me to try the hydrotherapy daily for a month to see how I feel, if I don't go he said he will drop me there and not come back until I have been in the pool for at least 30 mins! I felt a bit funny about that at first but I know he is only caring for me but your uncle, that is not caring for someone, that is abuse of your feelings, and if he doesn't understand your disease then he needs to educate himself before he offers you supposed help!

JASMINE. Hi Jas, I am so sorry about your stepmom, you have been through a rough couple of weeks, make sure you allow time for yourself to rest and heal, hugs Janie.

Yeah... me too on everything you said.

Jas, you've been through a lot in the last few weeks and I hope that you can reset your clock and let your men wait on you for a few days.....good idea, huh? I'm very sorry about your step mom. How is your dad faring?

I haven't been out for a few days because of vertigo. My body is freaked out. I'm on Dramamine round the clock for the vertigo and it just knocks me out and then I'm on the second day of a burst pack of Pred. and I'm hyper and can't sleep, even though my body is telling me to. Vertigo was almost gone today so we went to two bookstores, had a late breakfast, shopping, and then ended up going out to dinner - damn Prednisone. Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight. I'm off to night/night. Lindy

Well I have a nieghbor that is quiet smitten with me. LOL He is nice company and he is going to make me fat. We are just friends of course. Well I needed some spoiling for the weekend. I got my own apartment and I was on 15 mg of pred so I over did things this past week. I am getting back to the scary ouch catagory. Call me crazy but I was walking two miles a day for four days. But I started back to swelling last night. Arghh!

I had to get away from the family for a while. I need sometime to focus on me. Ra and serious meds. So I am enjoying the piece and quiet.

Jas get your rest. Sometimes I post before reading. Your family is in my prayers.

The gay back is a definite mood lifter, lol.......I should set it as my background as I LMAO whenever I see it. Thanksoh he is not my uncle he is hubby's uncle thru marriage.

Yeah... I told hubby today about that his uncle was really not as smart as he wants to make himself out to be. Because yesterday I told his uncle about how I figured I would be dead by 42 years old and he asked why that was. I told him because I have RA, high blood pressure, rapid pulse, and had a TIA. He asked what a TIA was. I told him it was told to me to be a mini stroke. He asked what happened to make them think that. I told him and then he asked what as the result of it. I told him how I am numb from my cheekbone to a little over to the middle of my forehead. He said are you sure it was not bells palsy. I said yes... the doctors refer to it as stroke, TIA and mini stroke. He said are you sure it was not bells palsy. I said yes. He just kept on about it being bells palsy and that I needed to go get my face shocked in the numb area to make it work again. I was like no, it is dead nerves from no oxygen getting thru because of a blood clot. He just kept on. Finally... I said ok if you say so.

I have been very very mean about people not understanding my disease as of lately. Mostly hubby's grandpa. I am still pissed at him from about 3 weeks ago. Every time I say something about it, hubby will tell me to just let it go. I refuse to let it go. One day the old man is going to push me to far and I will have to hurt his feelings. Hubby said he would like to see that, because he thinks it will be hilarious. The only reason he did not get told off that day, was because we were at the in-laws and I did not invite him over to eat. Not my house, not my place to put the old man in his place.

Jasmine..sorry to hear about your stepmom.

Jas I am so sorry to hear about your stepmother, but I know in some ways it must be a relief to know she is finally at peace. You and your family must be emotionally and physically exhausted. My deepest sympathies to all of you.

Karen

Joonie and Jas, I'm sorry things are so rough for you right now.

Joonie you would not ever in your life belive what my father in law said to me. I no longer talk to him unless I am trapped.

When our daughter died he refused to come to the funeral because "We always loved her much more than you did."" I refuse to ever speak to him again.

Anyway after everyones so nice comments to me I feel tons better. its true whatever happens will happen whether or not I worry. and I have always known that..

So Mark and I took the kids and a friend to see "UP" and had the best time. man what a great, lovely movie.. Funny but very touching. The 11 year old with us spontaneously said "that was heartwarming!" What kid says that? I've got 2 little victorian girls now They both talk like Anne of Green Gables.. As did our Elisabeth..

hey gang the weekend was good and life is good. I decided to let go and let god..
