I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time of it, Sunny. Storms and pain do go hand in hand for us. It's too darned wet in Vermont, too. No tornado warning, though. We had one earlier in the Summer and it scared the pee out of me!

Stay safe,

Cherry

Cherry,

I hope it drops all its rain before it hits you. We really do need the rain. Choir went to the lack for retreat last weekend. We had to climb down the floating dock (that was sitting on the dirt that should be under water) and still had a 10 inch drop to the water.

It never seems to come nicely does it. Always causing issues - weather that is.

Today it actually feels like fall we finally recieved a break from the 100 plus day of heat with humidity and no rain we r still in a drought have of our country is burningand drying up while the other is drowning in rain and tornados.

I have had a break in my flare and am grateful for the break I pray that u all r doing fairly well here is a hug for u all (((((((((HUG))))))))

David this is a grate place to post without having a topic just want to express how u feel Thank You maybe i will be a hallmark number only time will tell

BLESSINGS AND A LOW PAIN DAY

Denise

Hi Everyone,

I had my usual Monday phone call with my grand daughter today. We always play games together. Today we played "Going on a Bear Hunt". She did most of it on her own and it was extremely precious. Gosh, I love this age, she is five. I savor every call we have together, that link is so wonderful. She really enjoys having me in her life and it makes all of the fuss I go through daily with this blessed pain worth it. She is worth it! Because We're going on a Bear Hunt!

Hugs to all, Cathy

They are precious right Cathy. My Grandson 22 months is simply a joy, makes me smile and wears me out. So if the dr ways do you exercise I have to say yes walk and chase!
Love his hugs and I am lucky he lives next door, though I come in second to Grandpa!

My sleep is messed up. I sleep whenever I can sleep which sucks because I have so many appointments going on and still looking for apartments. My exercises for my knee is doing nothing but killing me with pain. I am doing quad exercises. I should have been PT when my knee was first mangled. I don't wan to wast PT services on something I could just do at home because my insurance stated that I will only be able to have 20 appointments per year and what I really need to go for is my fibro. I sorry I really don't believe by making my quad stronger is going to make my knee caps move back to their proper place. Sorry I didn't think just doing thirty exercises could hurt so much. My pain meds don't help. I finally got sleep yesterday because I used a liticain patch on my knee so it numbed my quad. It was the only way to get any pain relieve. the Pt guy said he doesn't want to give me a lot of reps but sorry I do ten of each exercise and that is too much.I done psyichal therapy and rarely complained because most of it is doing stretching and small exercises that I had one Pt do for me after he put me on lifting weights and killing me. I never tried to rehab a leg because I fell on it. I am going to have to tell him the exercises are too much and her will probably say I am a wuss. I am supposed to get tens which I know what it is but also ultrasound was but on my script too. Do you think that would help . Sorry I have never had it so don't know what it does. I know how it looks at babies and had it to look at my gallbladder once but what does it do for hurt knees.

I did PT. At ten weeks, they tested range of motion. She says, "Wow this is weird, you are actually WORSE!"
I refrained from saying, "No kidding. I told you they made me hurt MORE! you idiot"

Sorry, Computers are really dumb sometimes. Cut me off and suddenly it was posted with only half.

I went to PCP and told him that it was a waste of money. I could do those at home and not have to pay someone. He agreed.
Why do docs think having someone watch me do the exercise will make a difference?

I think PT are used to wimps who don't have CP. They are just lazy. Cp'ers are NOT lazy! If we gave in to the pain everyday, nothing would get done EVER!

I sure agree with Sunny. CP doesn't make us lazy! I worked one day, barely able to take a breath because a rib had popped out of place at the Chiropractor's the day before. It hurt so much that I had to go back later in the day to find out what was wrong. I thought I had broken a rib from just rolling onto my stomach at my appt. the day before. I went for over 24 hours like that AND worked.

I think that's a pretty good example of not being lazy!

Good Morning,

This rainy weather is killing me. It's been so nice here, it seems for months, but we have a few overcast days.

@Er..., I hope you can get it figured out with PT. I also went and it did me no good.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Maybe some more new people can come on.

Thanks Janie for participating. Come back.

Hugs,
David.

feel like one big toothache aching for hugs but know if i got one it would just hurt!

Cyber hugs don't hurt! Here's a big, gentle one for you!

thank you...back at you (((gentle hug)))

Morning all, 76 more days.

((((((tammie)))) hope it gets better.

Feeling blue. Two days and no pain and I feel like a big old boot is going to drop.

Good morning,

FIRST day of school, and I have to drive my son there as the bus schedule is different this year and no bus pick up on my street anymore.

I went to PT and it did not hurt but it did not help that much I do stuff at home now and it helps me in the long run. I have a bad left leg with alot of nerve damage and right now it is ok but there are times I want to chew off my leg.
