@Millie, I am so sorry that you have to go through all this at one time. BTW you are not the first person to be mad at God, but remember that there are many who will tell you that God knows your heart, and yours is huge!!!

@Gaye, I knew that you were having some situations and I know that you will also persevere.

You two wonderful ladies are among the great supporters on this site. If I could I'd hug both your necks and thank you from my heart.

@11, Manny, serenityha, Cherry, Hank, Lisa, Cathy, Kate, Angela, Vicky, Denise, Ralop, Sammy, KylieAnn, Bunny, Keeska,.............I could go on but I want you all to know that you mean so much to me and to so many others.

Let's keep this thing going and continue to be supportive of each other, and as usual, PLEASE, those who are on the fence about posting, do it. I will guarantee the grass is greener on this side.

My heart loves you all.

Hugs,
David.

@ Tipper, I'm sorry that you are in so much pain still. What wrong with Malcom? I'm so glad to hear that you went and got so help. You are a very very strong lady . You will make it through this ! With the med , your therapist and your determination it will all work out but s's you know it takes time. .....I'm praying for you and sending you strength and huge hugs.

Sending you all loving and healing thoughts today

(((((hugs to you all)))))))

Wow, I slept in late this morning (10:30)... I never do that, usually the pain wakes me up much earlier. So I'm doing good today, low pain levels but I have to get groceries so it may not last but at least I can start out with low pain instead of going while in great pain and making it even worse. I can deal with this.

To those who are suffering today my thoughts are with you, we've all been there. Hugs and peace to everyone, I'm so glad to be a part of this group.

BTW- Yayyyyy! we passed 1000 posts. Does Hank get a prize for the 1000th post? LOL Keep it coming.
Lisa

Hank will get a "get out of pain free card", that unfortunately can only be used while sleeping!!

Hugs to All,
David.

David, a congrads' is in order. 100 posts did you say??? God bless's 10 fold, is my math correct???

Cherry, you have been like a good sister to me, thank you so very much for hearing "my heart".

My prayers are with each & everyone. May God continue to bless this group and each one of us for our "sharing & caring" . Love, hugs & prayers, Vicky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Everyone,

Please forgive me, I am having a bad day of brain fog, so I read all of your posts, but my brain isn't sorting them out well enough to reply to each of you individually. This has just been one of those days. I woke up with lots of nausea and pain. I had to go get lab work done and almost canceled, but went anyway. They took 12 vials of blood at the lab from me, I felt like I was supplying a vampire or something. : ) LOL.

This afternoon I am still feeling not so great so I gave up and took some medication. I feel kind of sheepish complaining after all the good that happened to me lately. I guess I am frustrated because my brain is so fuzzy. I like to feel like I can participate here. You guys are special to me and I like to focus on you, not on me. So I am frustrated with my brain....I really am.....I hate not being able to remember things....And there is nothing I can do about it. Sorry to ramble on. I'll be ok! I just need a self adjustment and I will be fine. My brain fog will lift, it always does. And I will be able to do better once again!

Hope everyone is as painfree as possible, Hugs,
Cathy

Cathy...for crying out loud! You don't have to apologize for not remembering or not feeling well enough to respond to each person. If that's the case...I'm in big trouble. I read everything and jump in when I can sit long enough to say something.

You may have just found a great doc, but it's not like a whole new treatment plan has been started. Whine away...we all do. You have so many medical isues that it amazes me how much you remember and post every day. I imagine that's exhausting so don't stress over it!!!

I'm going to have to change positions very soon...had all I can take for one day.

Hugs to all,
Cherr

Man...that's pretty bad when you miss the last letter in your own name.

CHERRY

Awwwww, I mispel my name all the time!

It's OK!

Goop morning all, hope you're having a good weekend (so far). Don't feel bad about the brain fog Cathy, I think its common here for one reason or another. I know how frustrating it is to forget stuff all the time and just not be able to keep your thoughts straight- maddening some days.
I'm doing well today, heading out to a few yard sales soon. We'll see how many I can handle but today is one of the few nice days we've had in a long time so there are tons of sales going on. Plus its our city's festival this weekend so its busy in town.

Wishes for everyone to have a beautiful minimal pain weekend. Hugs and peace to all,
Lisa

@ Cathy, please don't let the brain fog bother you when your at this board. A lot of us have it , some is are meds ( ESP night time ) some fibro fog ( that would be me) others it just live in fog. Just lkiddin . Trying to make a funny. I know how frustrating it can be. I get upset when I'm front of people and I get tongue tied, pronouncing a word or totaling for get what I was talking about. In side I screaming and crying and on the outside I just laugh and say something silly. Again sweetie never ever feel bad. If you are having a really rough day and think you can't come on because no one would understand what your tring to say I would have to say you are wrong and I know I can get
you to agree with me, so im going to take my first and only shot. You have kids right ? Well do you remember the day when they were little and they would make you a card or write you a letter? Then came those words, " Mommy, Mommy read it to me!" now remember they can't spell. Are you getting the picture.? We learned to read between the lines with them and we can still do it. Hugs and no more worrying ok ?

Good morning,
Hope everyone is doing well, I have the day to myself well almost still have the dogs and the birds and the chicks to take care of. I so wish they could feed them self's now that would be a trick.

Going to be doing some quilting this morning after I get my daily fix of the computer.

Have a great weekend.

Good Morning Everyone,
Nice to hear things are decent Lisa.

Cathy, I have to agree with everybody else. No need for I'm sorry here. We all understand. That's why we have this bond. I'm a two finger typer. I see that I want to hit the "d" button, and for some reason I'll hit a different one, looking right at that "d". I question myself about it, but I'm sure it has something to do with my brain. Anyway...........

I woke up at 5:30, not having a very good day, SO FAR, I'm working on starting it over in my head. I'm feeling OK, it's just that things got a little crazy around here this morning.

I am fortunate to have good friends here. I really appreciate you all.

Let's try to keep this going, and maybe we can get some "lookers" to post today????

Big Hugs,
David.

I NEED A HUG! PLEASE!!!! Last Wed., Aug. 3 I had to put my dog Peanut (who was one month shy of 17 years old) to sleep. It's not the act that was traumatic...it was peaceful and spiritual...but he was like an appendage to me. He was with me CONSTANTLY! When I sat, he was on my lap; when I slept, he slept on my chest (he was a 4.5lb Chihuahua), when I stood he slept on my feet...when I walked he was at my side. He was with me more than my (late) husband! (BTW, I NEVER expected my hubby to sleep on my chest, lol!) Anyway, my "appendage" is missing; I lovingly cared for him almost constantly the last 2 years of his life; hand feeding, aiding in walking, blah blah blah...but now I feel dead inside; I'm not my typical bubbly self any more. I only have my 2 sons left as family; one lives 70 mi away and has too much going on w/his family to come and get me. (can't drive due to vertigo and narcolepsy...a whole 'NOTHER story) My other son who lives 2 blocks away only visits me when he has to drop of an rx. I'm completely alone! I need to take a cab to my doctors which is $45.25 one way...so $90 unreimbursed gone...because I can't be independent for quite some time.

This isn't a case of "Poor Corri", but I TRULY believe it deserves a hug!
