    Give wellbay a hug



    • Hug

      From SST September 22

      One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

      So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

      Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

      Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

      I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

      I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

      Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile J can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.

      I LOVE YA!!!

      Live today because tomorrow is not promised..

      LITTLE JOHNNY STRIKES AGAIN..........



      The teacher asked the class to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.

      Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my grand dad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."

      The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate, not fascinating".

      Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was "fascinated."

      The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."

      Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him. Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight."

      The teacher sat down and cried!

      Water or Wine? As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in Water there is bacteria. In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, then to drink water and be full of shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have pelvic pain syndrome and piriformis syndrome. Both are made worse when I am seated, which is ruining things because I am a writer. I've had four or more 3-shot series of lumbar epidurals and three injections into the piriformis muscle. I take meds. I am pretty disheartened and feel doomed more and more.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      works, I guess. When I thought it didn't, and stopped taking it, I got way worse, so I went back on it. Internist recently increased dosage to 90 m.
      Heat Working / Worked
      almost always helps. Jacuzzi's better!
      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      for breakthrough pain
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Daily, it does help, mostly because I lie down and adopt flotation mode
      Nerve Blocks Somewhat Helpful
      sorta
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      helps but not always
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      TENS Considering
      Doc gave me a RX and I am in the process of obtaining one
