Toni, so glad to hear the surgery went well. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too!

im here hugs and pryers to all hugs minnie

Toni, Hurrah!! so happy that Jim's Surgery went well!!!! Like the "Laid back, Avi but I'm missing those lovely Legs though! LOL

Nealy those legs are there they're just slicked up with some suntan lotion! Might be a little shorter though from you munching on them lol!

Hugs Minnie!

Thanks Cherry I go to my dr tomorrow and get my pain meds finally.

Good Morning,
Went to the PM doc yesterday. He's trying to cut back my opiate need and gear more toward the anti-inflammatory stuff. Nerve pain is in check with my SCS. I finally got him to tell me I'm probably as good as I'm gonna get. I have good and bad days, hopefully he'll find the right combo to increase my quality of life.

Right now I'm doing OK.

Have a great day.

David.

Glad to hear it David,
I've been up all night, I'm real sick and I feel like I'm drowning in goop if I lay down. My throught is raw from coughing and I'm getting a little screwy in the head from the fatigue. My wife had a rough night as well, we are both really sick and miserable. On the bright side the kids don't have it so far and my new internet provider is working great.
We have a meeting at the school today so that should be interesting.

Hello Everyone

I need to go back and read the thread for the last few days. I just wanted to say that I have missed you all and I am looking forward to staying on my "normal" schedule now that I am home.

I am in miserable agony today....the last 3 days has been hard. My 2:45 am train was late. The kids and I were at the station from 1:30 until 4:10 am---then, board the train and arrive in our city at 11:30 am. That would be 10 hours attempting to not start bawling due to sitting and standing and sitting and standing . I slept for a couple of hours yesterday (nap), woke up at 6 and had dinner and I was back asleep at 9:30 last night. I can barely move, taking my meds and break through meds and I am going back down to sleep here after some light stretching exercises.

HUGS and LOVES to you all

Glad you're back. Get some rest.
Hugs,
David.

Hope the miserable trip home will soon be a distant memory for your body. In the meantime I am sending
you lots of love and positive thoughts for rest and renewal.

I missed you, though somehow I missed it all and don't even know where you went. Later we can catch up when you are rested some. Love to you.

Woke up w/ low pain levels this morning. Hurrah!! Took the dogs on our good long walk for the first time in a couple wks. Then hubby and I gave both a much needed bath. They were both very good! We usually take our Yorkie to the Groomer but are trying to cut back on expenses and do more grooming ourselves. She'll still need a good going over from time-to-time. Now pain levels are up and "numb" foot is swelling and zinging. Our tenants moved out of our little old farmhouse that's here on the property. Poor hubby is working on it to get it ready to rent again. Its old and small so very little income but would fall apart if it just sat empty. Particularly during the winter.

@Ducky- so sorry it was such a rough trip back. Sitting in uncomfortable places is sooooo tough on us. I hope you recover quickly. Meanwhile, do rest!!
@ Tipper- I hope your doc visit gave you some answers and they'll be able to get that ankle fixed!!
@ Kansas - ooh Virus is miserable. So glad the kids don't have it and HOPE they don't get it. Sometimes their little immune systems are amazing.
@Cherry - you don'n ok after the water????
@Rocket - your Meds! Honey, I hope that never happens again and that you get the meds you need. What awful timing w/ Jim's surgery going on!!
Hope everyone else has a good day and we'll send out thoughts and love to those who can't be with us right now, praying they'll soon be back.

Just a quick check in to see how my friends are doing. I am about the same. Me and my neck and heat and ice.
I should have gone to the pool today and I didn't. I must go tomorrow. It does seem to help.Sounds like everyone has there weekend plans shaping up. Hope you all have fun and less pain. Be safe whatever you do.
Paulie good to hear your voice. Miss you.

You and the fur-babies have a great w/end Hippy!!!!

Sorry about the rough travel, Duckie. I don't know how you did it! Take care of yourself however you need to so you recover.

I've had a really rough week which is why I haven't posted much. Typing hurts. I can't even begin to tell you the kind of stuff I've been dealing with, but it has left me terribly stressed which, of course, has shot my pain through the roof.

I read everything and my brain can't remember who needs what kind of support. I feel useless as DS member, right now. Please know that I'm thinking of all of you who are suffering and would love to wave a magic wand for relief.

Very gentle hugs,
Cherry

Alright Nealy it's nice to hear you saying you having low pain levels.

Eww Superduck I was wondering what happened to you. That's terrible, especially when you were already hurting so much. Talk later. Love ya.

David don't settle! Keep at your dr until you are comfortable with your pain levels.

Kansass I thought I told you warm baths and hot tea! Well well wishes anyways. :)

Pauli it's been good seeing more of you on here, I've been missing you!

HippyMama enjoy that pool it's been forever since I've been in one.

Cherry I sure hope you aren't working this weekend and you do nothing but REST REST REST!

Everyone take it easy and have a great weekend.
Lots of love & hugs,
Toni
