Hey yall!! How are you today? Any plans? I am sitting here as happy as a pig in slop. Went to the pain doctor yesterday. She gave me 114 of the 7.5/500mg Lortabs (hydrocodone)!! I have this huge bottle nearly full. I was so nervous about substituting Jim's pee for mine. I had put it in the microwave to get it good and hot so that it would still be warm when I gave it to them. Then I wrapped it up in a paper towel and put it in my bra. Gross, huh? I was scared that it was gonna fall out or that the doctor was going to go down a bit far when she was listening to my heart.

She told me that I was morbidly obese.........which I had not a clue of............DUH!! I am gonna have to double up my efforts to try and lose some weight. Say some prayers for me and send me good thoughts please. I need them awful bad to win this battle. It is a batlte pretty much for life or death as I am likely to develop high blood pressure, which there is two times in the last week it has been above 90 on the bottom. I am prone to heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc. Hope you all have a great day. Sorry to be a downer about my physical heallth.

Love & Hugs,
Chelle

good morning, Chelle! Yay for the Lortabs! (that's what I have, too!)

As for your physical health, I hope you can find a way to get healthier for you and your family. I know it's not easy. I just found this really cool Wii game called "just dance" and I'm using it for my daily exercise. luv ya.

((hugs))

I know that feeling Chelle about having to loose weight. I know I need to go to the doctor and have everything checked but honestly I can't afford too because even though I have insurance I can't afford the co-insurance amounts and I don't want to build up any more bills right now.

it is going to be a craptacular day for me, I am so done with this shit stain of a life.

Good morning Chelle! Yay for the Lortabs.

Lina - Just Dance is a really fun game. I have PS 2 so I play Dance Dance Revolution. I can't afford to go out and buy something more expensive.

**HUGS**

ZanyBeeper 11/04/2010

Linas...........good luck on your :"Just Dance". Tootie wants a Wii for Christmas. We are going to try and get her one. They are still quite expensive, but I guess they are worth it. What do you think?

Soss............I hear you on the shit stain. Sometimes I think, is this all there is to life? It is tiresome and mundane. BUT, it's almost Friday!! Hang on, chickadee.

Marie.............How you doing, sweetie? How's your pain? Your moods?

ZanyBeeper 11/04/2010

Kat..........have you had your second IUI yet? When is it scheduled for?

rubyblue 11/04/2010

afternoon Chelle

super pleased you got your pain meds... and duh to drs who don't realise the side effects of our meds can cause weight gain..morons

I hope you can find a way to change this part of your lifestyle.. I know its something I need to do too.. hard but doable Chelle... you have the smarts for it x

ZanyBeeper 11/04/2010

Ruby.............thanks for the vote of confidence. Wish I could feel it myself. SIGH. It's just pure ole laziness I think as far as implementing a diet. Exercise will really have to wait until I lose some weight as I am not able to exercise at this time too much. I am reading/typing without my reading glasses. Can't believe it. Do you have to wear glasses?

deleted_user 11/04/2010

Second IUI was Saturday. Now, I'm just playing the waiting game until November 15th. My emotions are still out of whack, but they said I had a REALLY high estrogen level. I guess that's a good thing for IUI, but maybe not such a good thing for mood. LOL

ZanyBeeper 11/04/2010

I know that ole estrogen monster very well. That's when my OCD/intrusive thoughts really kicks into overdrive. As always, I wish you the best. Hugs!!

deleted_user 11/04/2010

Thanks Zany. I don't know what it is kicking into high gear, but I know it's one of my issues with anxiety. This week has been better than last week though. I went to work last night. Yay for the small victories!

rubyblue 11/04/2010

funnily enough Chelle... I used to ocassionally wear glasses when I was in uni and need to see what was being written when in a lecture... and sometimes for watching a movie or the TV.. I was slightly short sighted... well I went for a check up and low and behold my eyesight has improved and I don't need glasses any more... unusual I know.. pretty cool too

have you started your WW yet? I know you were keen and hopeful about that

deleted_user 11/04/2010

gotta go to school today. yea! *rolls eyes* Not a huge fan of Thur class.

deleted_user 11/04/2010

Good mornignChelle, watch the pain meds all the time, just a little worried about you talking about them all the time, please don't talke it wrong just concerned, out of love. It is rainy and gloomy hear so I took another haldol and klonapin to sleep the day away hopefully, feelingslightly depressed again. Can a depression come back so soon after like a week of normalcy?

Bluefly 11/04/2010

Good Morning Chelle and to all.

No real plans for the day. Had a busy day yesterday, went to a luncheon with my mom and aunt, it was nice to get out of the house and do something different.

Tonight my daughter has a pdoc appointment. We are going to discuss taking her off the AD and put her a mood stabilizer. I believe that would be the best for her.
