Here we go...another day in paradise! I saw every hour go by ad gave up at 3:00. It's such a long day when it's practically yesterday and I'm already drinking coffee. Sometimes, even Trazodone can't quiet my brain.
Monday is the second half of my weekend since I work on Saturdays. I can handle today's schedule...seeing my shrink at 10:00 and then PT at 1:00. I definitely need both!
I hope everyone has a good start to the day!
Hugs to all,
Cherry

Getting my morning Bible study done and then getting ready for work.
My pain levels have stabilized somewhat, between 3-5.........which to a normal person, I guess, would be considered pain-free !! ( lol ).
I hope everyone has a great day.
Big Hugs,
David.
Still can not shake this sore throat and feeling like crap it is not so bad today and hope it is going towards going away, crossing my fingers anyway.
I am way to busy to worry about things like that and today is filled with doctors appt and cleaning and doing some grocery shopping it is overwhelming thinking I will be out of commission on Thursday for awhile and dont know what I should do next. I guess it is because I dont know how long I will not be able to walk after surgery I hope it is not so bad.
I cant get my kids to put down or up the toilet seat for that matter how am I going to rely on them to take care of the house. I just hope they can pull it together and do what they have to do and I guess it is one of those times you sink or swim.
Anyone else having a hard time getting their xmas decorations up. Arg I just want them up and over but before you can put them up you got to get cleaned up and by that time I am to tired to put them up and then I wait and then the cycle continues I have to clean up before i put them up it is like I am in a bad ground hog movie.
You aren't Wonder Woman. You don't have to do it all. I know how you feel though.........
Manny I am saying a prayer for you for your surgery and everything... that you can have peace about your house as you recover.
Cherry glad you have a light schedule today. So.... You didn't sleep at all? oohh poor baby...that is awful.
David, Glad you feel somewhat better.... every little bit helps.
I am drained......... I am having trouble focusing and just feel like I am not getting anything accomplished.
But I know God is good and will see me through as He always does.
Blessings to you all my friends.
I'm not feeling to great, I slept but I was feeling awful last night and still feel rotten this morning. I got everyone off for thier days but I'm pretty much lumping it right now. I feel like I'm on the edge of getting sick, my sinuses are burning and I'm getting some goop in my throught and chest.
I haven't started the decorations either. One of the girls that works with my kids said she'd help with the house lights so we'll see if that works out. Joy says I don't have any business on the roof and they would do it. I hope everything works out, I'd like to have the lights up this year.
It's supposed to warm up a little today, that will be nice. I have a few things to do outside if I can motivate myself. For now, I'm just going to relax, wake up, and let my meds kick in.
I hope I feel better later, I'm not off to a good start.
Low pain wishes to all,
Mike
Dave, I am so glad that your pain levels are down and that you are feeling better. I pray that it continues for you for a long time to come. I send my support and love to you and your family my friend.
Cherry, enjoy and relax every moment today! You deserve a break and you definately deserve some YOU time. HUGS
Manny, take a very deep breath---HOLD--- let it out slowly!! Repeat that a few times. You know what, you are exactly right, it is sink or swim time. If you can acknowledge and accept that...let it go my love. The last thing you need is extra stress on your mind during this time...nothing will happen that can't be rectified. I would be happy to come down with my bull whip and ankle chains if you would like? Hugs my friend and, my prayers to you.
Mike, What about hiring some little young guys...like my son's age? They could always use 20 bucks and, they would be learning a good skill. Your wife has no business on the roof either--I know you well enough to think that you would not like that very much. Whatever happens, I hope you get your lights up and, everyone is safe. No sick either...you are not allowed...HUGS
ME>>Very busy day today. Phone calls, several stops around town, in and out of the car, doctors office, social security office, grocery store, walgreens, bank etc...BLECK! On the other hand, it will feel good to get out of the house today. I am going to call a friend and see if she would like to meet for coffee while I am out today. Little duck is out of school today too so, she can come with me.
HUGS and love toy ou my friends.
It is only 6:45 on the west coast and as you guessed it, I am going back to bed for an hour. Then I have to take my son, Mark for a MRI, then I take him to work and come back for a dental cleaning at 11 and a MD appt at 3:15. I have to mail bills and return some stuff at the mall. Hoping to find Dockers on sale for both my son and Bob. They wear them out so fast!
Things went good yesterday. We talked some more and Bob apologized for Friday night. We agreed that we have a lot to work on as far as communication goes and being a team.
I hurt yesteday until the storm moved in. We are supposed to get some sun today and it was forecasted as a sunny week.
My daughter was in a horrible bike wreck Sat nite and didn't show us the damage until last night. Bruises and scrapes everywhere, a lot of swelling on her knee, eye swollen shut and bruised. I am really upset as she had no helmet or lights on. She could have been killed from what she described. A car barely missed her in a bike lane and she ditched to avoid being hit. I am thankful she will be ok and I hope she learns her lesson about helmets. I hate it that she hurts so bad. She is liable to have a scar on her forehead and underneath her eye.. Her guardian angel must have been on overtime.
Well, everyone have a good one. Still on protein diet, not much fun but I can do it. Hope everyoe feels better. Prayers are with you.
Big hugs,
Melinda
I had a nice quiet day but everyone is home now and the joint's jumpin.
Dinner should be on pretty quick and after that I may just see if I can doze off in the recliner. I slept last night but I've been dragging all day. Even with the stimulator and the pain meds my knee is making me crazy today. Nothing seems to touch it.
Hope you all have a good night,
Mike
Hope everyone has a good night tonight, get some sleep. Hugs and peace to all,
Lisa
I made it through the day but I did not get crap done I hate when that happens. I had to get on the phone with insurance and of course they dont pay enough and I had to pay some money at the doctors today, that I did not have to spend to get the bill down and it sort of ruined my whole day as after that you dont want to spend anymore money even tho it is for food. Stupid insurance companies.
If my freaking doctor would write a script for longer then 30 days at a time that would help going to the doctor every month now for almost four years is getting to be a bit much I am going to have to work something out with her on next visit so I could go every other month.
Hope all had a good day
No luck....still tired, still hurting, still blah! Mike I'm also wondering if I'm coming down with something. I'm just dragging. Nothing is getting accomplished.
Love to all!
