Might get out and socialize later, my wife want's me to meet some of her friends and be social. Ahhh, we'll see, ha ha! Nah, it should be alright, she's been trying to drag me out for awhile now.
Other than that, just a nice mello Sunday.
Hope your all doing good,
Mike
Yesterday was real busy. We had a lot of stuff going on. I am sending out well wishes to all who are struggling. I know that some have more pain than others and some may be just reading this and unable to respond. I want you all to know that I care!!
I am doing OK. I worked 1 day last week.....enough to pay the health insurance, but anything strenuous causes problems. That's the way it is. A tough pill to swallow sometimes ( no pun intended )
I'm putting up another video of Rocco. Watch it, it might make you smile.
Big Hugs,
David.
Watch it to the end!! Enjoy.
David.

I'm doing okay this morning. Had a rough day Saturday, took it easy on Sunday for the most part and had to get up early today to go to the doctor. Just a sore throat again but she says its viral so just wait it out. I am hoping to get a few things done today without hurting myself too bad, nothing too strenuos so I'll just take my time and pace myself.
Hope everyone is having a low pain Monday... remember to look after yourself. Hugs and peace,
Lisa
Didn't sleep well again, got several projects today I want to work on. We'll see how that goes. I'm mentally motivated but physically trashed so we'll see what wins out in the end.
I managed to get everyone out of here alright and it's a beautiful day here today. Take it at my own pace and try not to overdo it again.
Hope everyone is well today,
Mike
Like Mike, I didn't sleep at all last night. The weather is changing and emy joints don't like it.
Just got a call for my MRI; scheduled for tomorrow. I hate those things, I am claustrophobic,so I have to take pain pills and some Klonopin before I go. Those tables have no padding, steel table. Laying still for an hour is not my idea of a good time, lol
Still feeling tired and no energy whatsoever. Just thinking of all the tests this week, I get exhausted,lol. Oh well, they must be done.
Hope everyone is doing better today; there are far too many of us hurting. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love and gentle hugs,
MaryKathryn
@ Kate

@Kansass

@David
Loved the video!
@MaryKathryn
I hate the MRI too. You know what helps me? I make them put me in it backwards----so my head is facing where my feet would normall go. That way, If I feel that I need to get out, I can see outside and I feel like I could. I also always take meds before going in that damned thing because it is a little hard shelf of a table and I always end up in agony. I always tell my tech "I will need your help getting down and I will need time and two of you to help me up because once I lay down on this thing....that is it". It takes me about 1/2 hour to start moving off that table and get upright again. I hope things go well for you.
@SadSadLisa
Staying in bed is a good thing. Listen to your body and do what it needs. I hope you are feeling better.

Not so fabulous today---rough emotionally and physically. However, tomorrow is a new day and so today is just quiet, reflection and rest. HUGS to you all
Havent stopped by for a few days so I thought I would do a update and let you all know I am alive and kicking, kicking mad at insurance but what else is new and they drive me crazy I wish there was a way to go and actually talk to people so they could not transfer you.
Got a flu shot yesterday so hopefully I do not get the flu this year with so many of us living in this house it is filled with germs and I am a big baby when it comes to flu. I dont need that on top of CP that is just cruel.
Hope all is going well
I am glad to see you. It seems like our daily post is getting quiet *sad face*. HUGS to you my friend!
***>>>ME<<<***
I am better emotionally than I was yesterday but, I have massive double ear infections right now. I went to the doc on Sunday and had them checked out...they were not bad at that time but, I knew they were infected. I thought I caught it in time. NO! The meds have not yet kicked in and both my ears hurt so bad that I cannot even open or shut my mouth all the way due to the infection has backed up into my jaw. I have middle and outer ear infection in both ears. It really sucks.
My day, other than that, was good yesterday and hopefully will be today. I made a nice dinner last night, got some laundry done, ironed a few things for my mom and helped my kids with homework. I changed my moms bed too. I topped it off with a home made batch of brownies last night for the mom and kiddos.
Today...I plan on staying down and staying in bed. My ears are killing me and I am tired. I have been up since 1 am, fell back to sleep about 3 and got up again at 430 due to pain.
HOOOOOOO HUMMMMMMMM, whine and cry and whine and cry.....So tired of sounding so negative!
bleck! crap! vomit! gag! choke! puke! icky!
Big gentle hugs to all,
Lisa
Another round of sleep a couple of hours and get up for awhile then back to sleep for a little more then back up and on and on. Getting pretty old, I'd really like to know what it feels like to sleep all night again.
I've been busy this morning cleaning our pool, it's one of those big above ground ones and I'm trying to get it clean so I can put it up for the winter. That has me on my youngest sons poo poo list because he's not ready to see it come down yet. So I'm doing it while he's in school.
I've probably already over done it, my arms are spazing and my back and legs hurt. I'm taking a break right now, not sure how long of a break yet. This may take awhile. I sure get frustrated with this do a little stop awhile do a little more stop awhile....AAAAHG!!!!
I guess I'll keep slowly plugging away.
Hope everyone is well,
Mike
Ducky, OUCH, I hope you're better very soon.
I apologize for not addressing ea. of you more. My brains been so foggy lately, I can't remember what's been said except for on the page in front of me. UGH
I did get out today for the first time in days and ran a couple errands I've really put off. They've been hanging over my head and I've felt guilty every day for not doing them. Now they're done, Whew!!! I just hate that feeling and I have it way too often.
I'm sending wishes for a good day for all.
