Good morning...I've been up since 4:00.
I couldn't seem to get my head straightened out yesterday. My pain level was lower than usual so I should have been happy, but instead, I felt angry, depressed and mixed up all day. I worked hard and managed fairly well during the morning...the afternoon, not so much.
By 4:30, I was fighting to stay awake. During the evening, my vision was blurry and coordination was off. It was may have just been from my meds, but it's not usually that bad.
I'm hurting enough to make up for yesterday. It feels like my neck was snapped and shoulder beaten up. I couldn't bring myself to post about how I was feeling yesterday because I kept reading about others with greater problems...didn't seem right to complain.
I probably should hae waited for someone more cheerful to start the morning check in, but I'd been up for over 2 hours and nobody showed up!
Hugs and wishes for a good day...

ME>>>Sleep = Poop on a cracker; Pain = "normal" - which is pretty ok for me right now. I am in good spirits, my coffee is good and my oatmeal is awesome. Have a great day everyone!!! HUGS!!!
Yea for good coffee Duck!! Mine tooo, Best darn cup is the first...and that's the one I'm on:)
Pain could be a lot worse , so I'm happy with that.
Have absolutely not plans yet for the day....gotta have another cup first:)
Hope everyone has a blessed day!
Cherry, I am so sorry, hon, and I hope your day improves but I know you have alot on your plate...but just know I am sending big, big hugs to you and that this is a very safe place to say what is on your heart.
Ducky, enjoy that coffee....I am going with my girlfriend at 9
Dixie, enjoy your coffee, too and hope your day remains pain free
Me, hubby just hit the floor running so back to bed I go till 8:30 or so, coffee (decaf) with friend, pt appt at 11:30,gym for a little bit, shower there and home for another nap if I need it...ony slept from 10:30 to 3:30 when phone rang...AT an T wanting to know if they resolved my problem this weekend....I said do you know what time it is? And no, you did not resolve my problem....can I help you now....no and I hung up but didn't go back to sleep...this time phone stays in kitchen....
Husband does not think eye surgery is a good idea but perhaps get a second opinion.... maybe you are on wrong drp? says I wouldn't mess with all this crap with cpap either. Just continue to use it and comply with them....something has been working for ten years...to him five hours is like eight to me...and the headaches...have one now....maybe that is what needs to be addressed but think I will talk to new internist about that at physical in June...
So today, my thoughts are not going to be on what may or may not be wrong with me but just the joy of staying home and what is right with me (you all are a very big part of that right....maybe then sheets could get washed???
Have a good one everyone...Big hugs and love to all,
Melinda
Third night of no sleep at all. I did take an hour nap yesterday though. I have Addie with me today who also spent the night with me. Lord give me patience today. She is so good and doesn't deserve a grumpy old Meemaw.
Cherry I hope you get to feeling better. Maybe you over did it a wee bit to much yesterday. Darn it why can't you have a feel good day in every way on a day off! Huggs

I just got back from meetings at the school.
My back is destroyed and the stabbing pains are making me jump and jerk.
My knees are jabbing along with the rainy day we're having and I'm not feeling very pleasent right now.
I'm hoping for a quiet evening. I have to make my perscription run tomorrow and just thinking about the drive is making me hurt worse.
I'd give anything to be able to escape this body for awhile, maybe I'll turn on the Xbox and kill a bunch of things to destract myself.
Hope you're all having a better day than me,
Mike
We have had sleet, snow and hail all afternoon...It is April 4, 2012 isn't it?
Oh, forgot to add, I went to gym and rode bike for 45 minutes without stopping, did 5.5 miles, felt like I rode most of the frustration out of me.Kind of cleared my head but it still hurts so I am considering letting new internist know...b/p seems ok, will take it, I either have allergies, cold or sinus infection is what I think....anyway, I am good....off to church for one class and then I am home...Bob is stuck at po with another machine down, happy happy joy, joy...., don't worry, roads are claar for me to drive on...
Love to all, hope everyone is better tomorrow.

Mike when's the last time you had a good soak in the tub? I hope you are sucessful on the xbox!
Melinda you are my hero! 5.5 miles wow! I'm lucky to walk 5.5 minutes. I love to hear this. Keep it up! Where is your spring? Yuck! I hope it gets there soon.
Cherry, anytime is a good time. You have been through a lot lately. Sending love and understanding.
Everyone else too!
Had proceedure today, not good experience, but I'm ok. Anesthetic makes me depressed! Be in touch when I can think clearly. X have a good day.
Good to see you all, love and hugs to you all and thanks for your support during this very scary and depressing time.
Love you all,
