Hi all... spring has arrived here and everywhere I look nature is bursting out with so much beauty... flowers are everywhere and they bring such happiness to my spirit... and make me feel so much lighter and brighter than I have been throughout winter. Winter always makes me depressed. I'm happy to be active here again... and reaching out to support my friends.
Sending hugs and smiles to whoever is in need of some.
Take care... Gaye... xxx

Oh Gaye, how fortunate for you. Spring is my favorite time of year. I need a home in Australia and in Canada and then I can have spring twice a year, and skip winter completely. I've just harvested the last of my garden and I'm hanging onto the last flowers in my baskets.

Plant something colourful for me.

I went to church yesterday and received and gave lots of hugs through my church friends. I have recommitted to attending church every Sunday because of David. I love his suggestion that those are hugs from God.
Today as usual I hurt as hell. I am a property manager so I have to evaluate tenants today who are applying for different units.
I also begin PT on Wednesday which in the past has always kicked up my pain levels forcing me to quit. This time I am determined to hang in there and see if I can't get "over the hump".
My 24-year-old daughter is moving back into the house today after being away for nine months. She was shacked up with a guy who turned out to have dubious character. She has a job at Starbucks. I feel that if she stays here more than two months, I should start charging her rent. What do people think about that?
That's it
hugs to everybody

I don't see why you shouldn't expect your daughter to help out with things once she gets back on her feet. Sit down with your daughter and explain what you expect of her after if you let her stay. Let her speak about her concerns and find a middle ground so I hope this works out. You don't have to wait to have this . It shows you are treating like a dog and not a baby. I don't know if she has car payments. you can still be her father and friend. hope it works out.

I had a terrible night. I went grocery shopping which is a big chore. I take a cab but they put my groceries in the car and bring them to my kitchen. I was so angry because when I arrived home. My landlady was blocking my door way so we could n't pull up. I rang the door bell because she was cleaning her daughter apartment and asked her if she could get them special. Unfortuantely I hadn't eaten much yesterday. I got IBS and ended up vomiting up all my meds. some before they disolved. The internet has no real good advise about if I should have taken more. Luckily I had Phenergan and I was able to feel better and eat some crackers. I was really hard clean the tub. I didn't have a choice that is what I made it too first. I still feel like I can smell it still. Yuck. I wish I hadn't had to clean it up. I hope my aide is still not sick because I need to rest today. What a bad afternoon I had. I still havent' heard anything about my application for the apatrment complex . I know they have to look it everything. I have alot of paper work I still need for Housing. I would feel much better if I had those down and had gotten an inspection. I know I need to wait a week or so to find out but I hope it can get it done soon and have the only thing to work about is to just pack my apartment. I am really stressed and sore all over. My elbows just started helping. I need to go to the chiropractor and get things realigned. I know my landlady isn't going to let me stay an additonal day. She is already rude and nasty and I won't miss the wall . I just keep praying and putting it in the Lords hands. Ugg my stomach is icky. Sorry if I was too graphic. I tried to see if i needed to take meds over because they hadn't digested yet but the intro net was not helpful today. The damn internet would answer . I waited a while and then took extra for me. Hope my aide comes today. she has really been not doing anything because she has been sick. I need to have her for the four hours I get. I hope to start getting before. I want someone who bothers to come to always on time. I will have to ask for someone else if it gets works.

Hey Everyone,

@ Gaye, So glad to see you!!

@ Hank, Great news. God is Love. I'm happy for you in your decision.

@ Pamela, Always great to hear from you.

@ Angela, I think each day of your situation. Headaches are bad, I had them, but migraines, from what I hear, are a different story.

@ Er...., I hope everything works out OK

I would like to go through the whole list of all the people here. I look forward each day to reading your posts. You all mean so much to me.

I am doing OK. Just got off the phone with me Rehab Professional from W/C and she has released me, which is good. I would have to call her after every doctors appointment post spinal cord stim.

Now I'm in the pain management mode. My numbers have been between 4 & 5, which is great.

Let's keep this going. To those just looking I hope you're doing OK. Feel free to check in once in a while. It will be great to hear from you.

Have a great day!!

Big Hugs,
David.

sorry i havnt posted much lately...had a lot going on...heres a big fat hug to everyone! xxx

Hi everyone,
I just got back from the city for a community celebration and visiting my mother and it was great to see friends and family but at the same time, very difficult because it physically exhausts me when I can't lie down when I need to. I didn't talk about my pain with my mother if only to explain that I had to keep my shoes on in her appartment. It's my resolution to not talk about it unless they ask (my family). My close friends are generally more concerned and I can bring it up with them and get some support. Family is always so much harder to deal with!
Anyway, I missed you and I'm glad to be here again,
Ama

Hi everyone. Just wanted to give you all big hugs.

Just want you all to know how much I appreciate you all. I can never say it too much.

I'm so tired and I've decided I've got to stop lying on the railroad tracks. Damned train keeps running me over.

Wishing you all sweet dreams,
Cherry

Darn those trains anyway, just because we lay on the tracks doesn't mean they have to run us over does it???, lol Cherry you never fail to make me laugh, now get off those darn tracks, will you???
It's been awhile since I've posted as couldn't get online for days. Fortunatly one of the parents fixed the problem for me n showed me what to do if it happens again. The Lord said, " Ask n you shall receive." I am sooo grateful.
We have been having terrensial rainfall here n strong winds up to 30 m.p.h. Lower back has been hurting so I've been using heating pad on n off all day. It does help some.
It's so great to be a part of this wonderful support group. Thank you all for all you do.
Love,hugs n prayers, Vicky xxxxxxxxxxx

Yes get of the tracks Cherry. Distractions and you are undermedicated.
What else is new in the world of pain.

Lets all keep Millie in our thoughts on Wednesday for her surgery.

I will definitely keep her in my thoughts and prayers. I hope are little Ducky keeps posting to let us know how things went. Hugs to all
