Sending lots of hugs and peaceful energy. Hope the computer thing works out soon.

Glad to see you on the board! Hugs, hugs, hugs-RJ

Well..thanks, Rj..
But...where's your SELF pity? .. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
I wish i was as tough as you.
Hugs

Ah my friend, I am going nuts. They told my daughter she was going to have heart surgery to put in a pacemaker. Then an hour later they told her they made a mistake they had the wrong chart.

I am so pissed off. I did get a hold of her primary and he is helping me try to move her to a different hospital.

I am so sick with this new Parkinsons meds that I haven't even been able to get to the hospital. It is an hour away. It is just too crazy for words! The nausea, the pain, the dizziness, the shakes are somewhat better, but walking is almost impossible, I am ready to die. (figure of speech!)

Did you eat all of the chocolates in the hole? I really need a bunch! I am ready for a big Pity Party.

Hugs-RJ

You can have ALL the chocolates, Rj ...
I wish I could do more than send hopes for things to turn around,
For your daughter, and for you.
I've always been amazed at your strength..and how you gave it to your kids. If anyone deserves a break from having to be strong, it would be you. I'm so sorry life isn't giving you what you deserve.
Luvnhugs..jc

Thanks. I guess I don't see myself as strong, just fighting to survive!

I am going to have my pity party now. See ya!

Hugs-RJ

well, i had my pity party last night in my journal. more of a scream. today the pain isn't so bad, but i've been awake since before 5 and i'm wearing down.

went to pay my bills online and everything was double of usual. my phone is still funky and i can't get through the stupid automated line with the cable co. to figure out why that one is so crazy high.

i have to go wash dishes so i can cook phase 2. this new computer won't play my ipod even though it's apple to apple. i want to play some perky music to keep myself from falling asleep on my feet.

come on over for pork chops, pinto beans and cornbread in a few hours. bring some wine with your whine!!

On my way, Serenity..:-)
Wow..you're having some BAD luck..
Poor you..:-(
You sure wine is gonna be strong enough? .. :-) :-)

heres to hoping your computer problems disappear and heres to hoping you feel better *raises a glass of cran grape juice* (((hugs)))

well, JC, if you have something stronger, you might get burned cornbread. we wouldn't want that, but...

have you heard that old hee haw song "if it weren't for bad luck, i'd have no luck at all?" kidding.

i made a big score at the thrift store, favorite grocery store, etc....it's the little things that count and pain is dealable - medium face.

i've been awake 10 hours, made a trip to the store, listed 2 things on ebay and paid bills. how i don't know!!! out of body experience?

pork chops are in the oven with sage and rosemary. so i'll nap and smell that.

you won't mind if i don't bring out my fine china, i hope!

Thanks, E4.. :-) :-)
( I really stick to juice, too. I only drink cyber alcohol..:-) :-)

No, Serenity..we don't want burnt cornbread !
I love a good thrift store score!

Can I add my Damn it?

Today is the first day off my husband and I have had together in over 5 months. He works the night shift and I work days and we literally pass each other every day at 5:15. We stop, kiss and then off we go. :(

and we BOTH have the flu! I cannot freeken believe it!

We slept byt the fire all day and it was nice to be together but instead of passing each other on the road we are passing each other on the way to the bathroom. :(

Big Bummer!

Kallie

Oh Kallie, I am so sorry. At least you two are together. Fireplace sounds nice and cozy :)

Serenity, e4now, and JC sorry for the misery and pain.

Wishing everyone "the best that it can be". Praying for less challenges for each of us.

Hugs-RJ

Oh..Kallie..that IS a damnit...
What a disappointment.
Dang..I can't think of an upside to that.

Wait! Maybe it's a good thing it's not only one of you with it..
So no one has to feel like they ruined the other ones day?
I hope you both feel better soon.
And..that it's not so long until your next day off together.

You get a big POOR YOU...but, you have to share it with your husband.

Hugs

Rj..
Thanks.

I don't talk much about not feeling good or pain..I mean..it's pretty much a given on this board, right?
I'm just frustrated because my brother is visiting..
And..pain doesn't care..:-) :-) :-)

And..I feel so frustrated for everyone living with illness and pain,
That I sometimes don't even know what to say any more.
Hmm..that's a new topic..

kallie, sorry your day together wasn't the greatest. cuddling by a fire does sound nice, but do hope you feel better.

wow, i got a nice nap in and that pork is marvelous. time to make the cornbread, then eat!

JC, hope you can enjoy your brother's company!
