Lisa I can tell you are feeling better and I hope it lasts a good long time for you. I love your pic too.
David I'm ready for supper! I make giant barbque meatballs that are yummy, I'll share if you will.
MaryKathryn same to you! In fact forget the sharing, between the two of you, I should be fed really well! LOL!
Manny I've never heard of anything like that. I sure hope your little niece is getting better. I love crafts too and am usually doing something. Moving has thrown me off course and I can't think of what I want to do. Feather clips are in big around her for the kids hair maybe I'll make some of those for my granddaughters for Xmas.
Superducky Sounds like you are having way too much fun there! LOL! Love ya darlin!
Susie do you get a pneumonia shot? What was explained to me was it helps close up the pockets that past pneumonia has caused. This can help either hopefully keep it away or ease it up some. This was from a pulmonoligist (sp).
I just got a few things done around the house today. Addie is spending the night with me. Last night I actually slept a little better than I have in a while, so that was nice. Just need more of it.
Everyone replying and reading have a feel good weekend. Hugs
Going to "Bark in the Park" fundraiser today, to build a dog park in our village. They have all kinds of activities for the doggies.
Fell asleep in my recliner until about 3:30. Not doing too bad so far. We'll see what happens in the cold.
Rocco is helping me........chewing on my keyboard. I can't wait for him to grow up so I could say to him, "See what you did when you were a baby." (Lol)
Manny, I hope your niece is OK.
You all mean so much to me, I thank you for being here.
Big Hugs,
David.
It's going to be a busy day, we're leaving for Topeka soon and I don't expect to be back until tonight.
I wish I felt better but the last two days haven't been good, it's bringing me down and I wish I could stop.
Hope you're all doing better than me,
Mike
I hope you are having the best start to your weekend possible. Its always nice to do things like "bark in the park" We have them here to and I have really enjoyed them.
@Kansass
Off to Topeka huh? I am sorry that you have to go through the long journey. I am giving you "PRE" sorry you are hurting so bad hugs. :-)
I will check in later this morning to see who else has checked in .
>>>ME>>>
Oh, I am so sorry for being so whiny this week. It is unusual for me. I am still battling my ear infection though, it has eased up some. I spent the entire day in bed yesterday sleeping and medicating...it was not a fabulous day. About 2:30 am, I woke up as I had this terrible spasming in my right side. I flipped and flopped and tried to get comfortable. At 3:30, I finally got out of bed to use the rest room. That made things worse.
Apparently, I am either dealing with a kidney/urinary infection or I have my first kidney stone issue. I am in a pretty uncomfortable place right now. I am going to the doctor later today. As my truck is not running, I have to wait for my mom to get back from the city with the little duck.
My son's homecoming dance is tonight as well and, he has to get a tie to match his g/f and a black dress shirt for his suit. I wish I could find someone else to do it. I can't believe that I have this issue right now, I have been on Amoxicillian 2 capsules x 2 per day for a total of 4 in the day for the ear infection. Oh, I promise not whine and be boggy...thanks for listening.
Hope that son of yours has a great time! Hugs
I've had a rough night and day. My sister has been in the hospital since early morning in another state. Finally found out she has a bowel blockage. I had my granddaughter spend the night. Just when I thought I might get some sleep...I hear Meemaw. I need sleep WAH!!! One of these nights. The other night I slept for about 5 hrs and I thought I was in Heaven! If anyone has a skillet I have a head available LOL.
Thanks for putting up with my whining.
Like I said in my status, usually this is the most favorite time of year for me, but this year I am not starting off the season very good.
I'm in alot of pain,my fibromyalgia is flaring so much the past 3 days,I'm scared what lies ahead for the winter. I have knots all over my knees,(fluid) which I will need drained for sure on Monday.Sorry so whiny,I'm at a point where pain meds are not working for me today.
I hope all of you are doing better; so many of us have been suffering for awhile now. I just want you all to know that I care about every one of you and I am here if you need to talk. Everyone is so awesome here; you are my "family".
God Bless you and love all of you,
MaryKathryn
I am in tears all day today. I have a left kidney infection; UTI; My left ear is impacted again. My kidney keeps spasming and it is making my back pain horrid. I went the MD this afternoon. By the time I was done, there were no pharmacies open. Aparently...on the weekend, they close at 6 or 7 and, I was not done til 7:15.
HUGS to you all.
I know i havent updated on here in a while.... i always do that when things get rough plus typing these days is getting more and more difficult with my hand problems.
I have desperately been trying to get my contracted hand fixed, no conservative treatments have worked... not even the rounds of botox, its worse than ever
Doctors keep shoving me off onto someone else because i am a complex case, being so young and having MS. I have been getting so angry and depressed.
My next step is going into NYC to the hospital for special surgery. They have like 15 world class hand surgeons. I was told a good surgery for me to have would be a tendon graft on all of the shortened tendons that are contracted, They take them from your arm or leg. I will do whatever it takes, and hoping the HSS works out (checking all insurance stuff now) I officially have not been able to use my left arm or hand in over 14 months. Time to get it working!
Hugs and well wishes to all, especially those in lots of pain right now, your all in my thoughts
I just have an Acer laptop and it has a program built into it that will do my typing I just need a microphone for it. I will then have to set it up to my voice commands. It's taking me awhile because I don't drive and I need a ride! It will get done though.
Superduck I so hope you get to feeling better soon my friend or we can do as Susie suggested and hit each other in the head with skillets! I'd rather you got better though. (((((HUGS))))
Ducky so sorry you are having so much trouble and pain. I hope you are able to get your meds soon and start feeling better. Big gentle hugs.
irocket are you sure your laptop doesn't have a built in microphone... alot do and it is such a small hole somewhere on the face of your laptop that you wouldn't notice it. My laptop is an HP and has built in microphone so nice to know if typing becomes too much trouble I have other options. Alot of newer computers come with these programs built in.
I am doing okay, a bit more pain but nothing I'm nothing I'm not used to dealing with. I'm laying here in bed with my kitty Mogwai curled up beside me... no reason to get up except to move around (which I've done) so I'm just going to relax for a bit longer. Got a voicemail from the insurance lady friday night, glad i missed the call but will have to deal with it Monday.... argh!
Big gentle hugs and peace to everyone,
Lisa
My pain has come down a couple of notches to like a 4-5 instead of a 7-8. I think because it finally rained. I can predict weather changes like clockwork. I see the back specialist on Tues for MRI results. Actually it is the PA whom I do not care for. When they scheduled it, I let it be known that I also wanted to see the MD. So hopefully, it will all work out. The PA is very abrupt and rude and has no social skills in my opinion. One day, I waited 1.5 hours in the room and got up to leave and reschedule and he walks in and proceeds to tell me that I will wait for him. I walked out almost in tears and rescheduled with the MD and told the nurse manager that I never wanted to see the PA again. Well, this time they made me cry uncle and said the MD will be there and he can come in briefly. I need a new treatment plan and feel that it is appropriate to talk with the MD and not the PA about that. I am sorry for the rant. I realize this is meant to be an uplifting board.
All of you that posted yesterday or today are in my prayers for a much better painfree day today. I am going to try church this morning and then will go with my husband tonight if I get a nap in this afternoon.
I would just like to ask for prayers for my twenty one year old son that he would make better choices this week. He has issues with alcohol. He works faithfully but when he is off, he drinks. He has been in rehab once and in the justice system's diversion program for the last six months. Sometimes it appears that he hasn't learned anything. He has no vehicle so he isn't driving which is a real blessing. He has a good heart just making bad choices.
I know this is probably too long. You will find that I can't say anything in one sentence. But I know many of you believe and pray. I do too and am thankful that my heavenly Father knows my cares. I will be praying for all of the current needs and am trying to read a lot of profiles so I know more about you and won't put my foot in my mouth when I reply to a post.
Happy Sunday and blessings to you all,
Melinda
HUGS to you all
It's a pretty day here today so I'll probably go enjoy it for awhile.
I was able to sleep but it was late afternoon and early evening so I've been up all night since around 11pm. I seem to be going the wrong way and I can't get my hours straightened back out.
My mind says I need to get some things done but my body says NO!
Looks like I'm in for another wasted day. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
Hope your all well,
Mike
