Good Morning Friends,
I am getting ready to go and get a haircut. Back to work on Monday. I'm kinda looking forward to it. The SCS is still working great. Still a bit of surgical pain, but not too bad.

You all keep my spirits up, and for those who are down, don't hesitate to get on here and tell us about it.

I had a meltdown this morning. Little Rocco missed the training pad and pooped all over the rug............oops!!

He's just a baby and has been doing so good. He's sleeping at my feet right now.

I am thankful to have this group and I need to hear from others, good or bad.

Let it rip !!!!!

Hugs to all,
David.

@David, you got to love training them . Lol. What are you going to do with him when you go to work. Maybe your wife doesn't work ? I bet you are excited to get back to work . Happy things are going well for you.

@enigma - I sure hope the pills work for you and you get some relief soon, you poor soul. I've never had a migraine that lasted more than a day so I can only imagine 4 days. Hugs

@Gaye - that's so nice that you got our with your sisters. I also have 2 sisters that I used to do things with but its been such a long time. I can't do movie theatres at all and I miss that. Hugs

I am doing pretty good this morning. It was hard to sleep last night but mostly due to the humidity - it was so muggy my bedding and pillow felt damp. Guess I'm prepared now for camping this weekend, its the same feeling of sleeping in a tent. Our electricity was out for a couple of hours last night - due to lightning I think but again we dug out the camping lanterns and pretended we were camping, kinda fun actually except we couldn't light a campfire in the living room lol. Well make up for that tonight, going camping for the weekend and meeting up with an online friend from another site I'm on... should be fun

Wishing everyone a minimal pain day... Hugs and peace,
Lisa

Yes, my wife is home. I'll get up early in the morning and get him straight, and then when I come home do the same. I think she likes Rocco as much as I do. She just called me, she's out with a friend, and she found a doggie stroller at a consignment shop. Can you say )))))))))))))))SPOILED((((((((((((((((

David.

Oh no David... not the doggy stroller!! I don't know who on earth came up with that idea... but in my world the whole point of taking a dog out for a walk is so it walks... you know e x e r c i s e... not to mention that the sniffing at the lamp posts etc are an important part psychologically for them... it's all about socialising. They don't get any of that when they're being pushed along in a stroller. I know lots of people refer to their 4 legged friends as their "babies" but they aren't babies they are d o g s's... pushing them in a stroller is taking the "baby" thing too far. Good grief. Let the dogs be dogs I say! I do positively adore the current shot of Rocco though... so cute with his "teddy"... lol.
So glad the scs is working well for you... and I hope you just breeze through your first week back at work. Hugs... xxx

@David, thats the only way to treat them. My grandbaby ( same kind of dog as yours ) we call her princess . Her real name is Charlotte Louise. Lol but we call her Charlie. She looks just like Rocco. She has decide now that she lives here (because my daughter just gratuated from college) that hugsshe must be carried out to the grass to go potty. Lol spoiled rotten. But remember we create our own monsters. Lol

@Gaye,
Rocco loves to walk. I've taken him out a few times early in the morning. He started out walking behind, but the heels to the face got him to start walking by my side. I thought the stroller thing was pretty funny myself. I agree though, he's a walker.

Rocco has been good for me, just like my friends here, a Blessing.

David.

Doggie stollers are awesome ! When you take them out of the house with ( not for a walk those are done a leashes) it just like when you take kids with you. You get tired of carrying them and they get uncomfortable and hot when being carried. You don't have to keep pulling them back from things. David you will love it but you might have trouble pushing it around the town you live in where you know people. Lol looks like I have the Baby Princess and you have the Baby Prince. You got to agree David.

I think I'll give Rocco a flat top haircut and paint some flames on the side of his stroller. That might do it.

Have a great day ya'll.

David.

oh enigma, i hope you're better. you can go to the ER and get an injection.
gaye and manny, so sorry about your pain spikes as well.
david, so glad you have rocco. got my spoiled kitty after first surgery and she's has kept me going with all her foibles and hijenks.
sorry that i disappeared after pleading for help last night. i've just taken it easy today and tried to be light and airy. i made it through the night. my dr. called today and is going to do the procedure in a new place that my insurance will cover. i told him about yesterday and he's going to do the nerve block 8/5. i'm so thankful for everyone here and for finding such a great PM. i don't know how i've lived without this group. i'm a little tight and keep lightly stretching, but this is nothing. bless you all and prayers for relief. so many hugs!

Rotten day today pain wise. MGMT planned a three day conference. I put in 32 hours in three days doing the support.
This is how is always is, the suits plan and those of us who get hourly pay bust our butts making sure the event goes off without a hitch.

Oh, well, gonna find a nice movie to watch and spend the day eating ice cream.

Hope others are doing better today.

sunnyb, sounds like a good plan to me!! sorry that you're getting put in that position. hope there's a good movie to chill to. xo

Hey Bunny,

I hope you can have time to relax, and enjoy the ice cream.

David.

I'm reading the temperature on my computer which says 104 in Philadelphia. I don't see that too often. My father passed away last Saturday at the age of 92. He had been in hospice for several weeks so it was not a surprise. I was able to spend much quality time with him at the end as we said goodbye. My mother is 90, and I was the one who told her that he had passed away. The funeral is tomorrow. I loved him dearly, he was a wonderful father, and He gave joy and happiness to everyone he knew.

@Hank , I'm sorry to hear you lost your father. It's so very hard to lose them . We think of all the things they taught us and all they have done for us. I lost my dad two years ago this month and my mom is still living. It's so hard on her. They were married 63 yrs. It hard for her not having him by her side. She still cries but so do I sometimes. Remember your mom will need to stay busy . It will help so much just for her to have company. Cherish those memories. My deepest sympathy. Hugs
