Oh Tink you just need to win your states lottery and just leave it all! Start out new where ever you want or travel the world. You can be the wild and crazy gal all over!

11 is right I don't know if I told you that one or not. I marked all my boxes too and it was a big help.

Nealy alright you can nibble a little bit, but while you're at it you have to have to get a sample and figure out what's wrong with them! LOL!

Today I had my bloodwork done so we'll see in a couple of wks what comes from that.
I went with Jim to his appt and guess what? It was at 11:30 not at 2:00 like he thought. So now we have to go back in 2 days. I will so glad when he finally gets to this dr and we find out what is going on.

It's late as usual and I hope everyone is snug in their beds and having a good nights sleep.

Good Morning,

Fixin' to get ready to go. I'd rather just sit here all day but...............

Let's keep sharing a little bit about ourselves.

I feel decent today. Trying not to overdo it at work right now is the key for me. I hope that everyone has a great day, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hugs,
David.

@ Zingara, LOL!!!! I was suppose to say been there done that. When I use my iPad if I don't watch for something I misspelled it will correct it for you but it can come up with some pretty funny things at time. I'm not good at proofreading this like I should. Sorry ! Hope your moving is going better for you. Hugs and energy.

Hey Irocket ! What do you have that Nealy wants to nibble on ??????

Those delicious frog legs. I've from the South and we loves legs!!

@ Irocket and Nealy, DISCUSTING!!!!!! Now I can't eat my breakfast. I remember when my hubbies dad was alive ( greatest man in the world along with my dad. Love them both so much and miss them terribly ) they went frog gigging( I think that's what it's call. ) they cut their poor legs off and they were still hopping around in the hot grease. NEVER EVER will I put them near my mouth. I eon even eat shrimp because you have to bit the tail off. Lol I'm pretty picky. I bet no one ever figured that out. Lol love you all

So I had my regular weekly blood draw yesterday. Pin Cushion, yeah, every week for 13 weeks. They also did a EKG and quick physical. left home abt. 8 am, got back abt noon. Slept off and on most of the day. I had one short 15 mins or so when I woke feeling somewhat clear headed for the first time in a long time. It didn't last. LOL I know it will take awhile to build up my red blood cells and get this poison out of my system. I will have follow up for 48 weeks, just blood draws mainly. But not every weeks. I pray the virus doesn't return!!!! At six months they consider it a SVR (sustained viral response) but 2 yrs is the real mark.

Praying for you Nealy.hugs

good morning friends. hoping there were some good sleeps last night and if not that you are still sleeping. Ya know one persons night is another's day.

toni don't you just despise appointment times being mixed up? i hope you have rested some after that long day. I hope you get some answers from the vampires. we all have to agree that your frog is sporting some nice long legs.how kind of you to offer nealy a nibble or two.


Nealy isn't it nice to get a small glimpse of the old you with the clarity of mind. I think that is God's promise to
you. During my wheelchair stay i dreamed i was walking full weight on my left leg and it was so cool. I woke
up with that dream still a memory and I claimed it as mine.

Miss #11 I don't blame you. Lets just have fried chicken and leave toni's lovely legs alone. I do hope you
manage some rest during these busy days of company.

Jan I hope the patch kicked in and that you got some lovely sleep. You probably suffered the residuals of the bad news with the ssd issue. It will come.

David taking your own advice on keeping it chilled on the overdoing should help you have a less pain day.
Somehow I think your work ethics are strong and it is hard to not give it everything you have. This reminds me of another member of our family, little b. She also was released to light duty and couldn't let things go undone.

Sending out smiles :) any takers?

I will take you smiles any day Hippy . Since I was a kid called me smilely. They ask if I'm ever in a bad mood and if I always smile. It's a habit I guess. I remember my mom always before walking in some where, " girls smile . " Unfortunatly my sisters forgot how to smile. Lol I'm grateful my mom taught me that a smile will take you along way in life. I truely believe it. Now my kids are ask the same thing. Love you hippy!

I'm glad rfa helped my right side. Doing the left side Wed.
Sorry to hear about all the bad news here but pray God blesses you all here.
Cut oxycodone from 25mg/day to 20. Now can do PT exercises and actually slowly walk up the stairs! I used to do this crab/side climb....painful and not exactly sexy lol!
Hang in there friends.
Anne

GOODMORNING MY LOVELY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

@ David
I hope you have a great day at work my friend. How is your pain and your endurance coming along now that you have been released for more duties? I hope that you are doing ok.

@ Nealy
YAY! I am so glad that you are going to be getting stronger everyday and getting those nasty toxins out. I hope they did their job and I am just in prayer for you my lovey. How is E doing and how is the hearing for SSD? I want you to spend the next 6 weeks spoiling yourself at every opportunity. Get a pedicure, take a long, hot candle lit bath and add lots of bubbles and some epsom salts with some Alcohol....that will help ease your tired and pained body. I also like to add essential oils---the kind in the health food store or a scent shoppe...NOT the kind you find in the mall or at a Wal-Mart. Lemongrass and Basil is my favorite--very soothing and healing combination and I also love Cinnamon and Orange---very invigorating.

@ 11 LY
Smile???!!! Heehehehee , I could totally see you smiling all the time. You are so wonderful and kind--why would you NOT be smiling? How are things for you girl?

@ Hippy
HUGS and LOVE to you!!! I am thinking about you and sharing my joy over the miles...you are joyful to me my friend and I hope you feel me send it back to you!

@ Jan
I am sorry that things are going a little ick with the Atty's crap. My friend who workes for social security said that 66% of initial applications get denied on avg the first time. My SSD was denied too the first time. They said that I was capable of sustainable employment. My doctor almost fell out of her shoes when I told her that. She encouraged me to "please, file the appeal and make sure they ask for my information". I was like Yeah, already on it.

@ Irocket
Busy bee you are my friend...I am sorry I missed your call and I will call you ASAP. I have been very busy myself.

@ LWH
>> HIGH 5's Sista!!<< I am so happy for you!

If there is anyone I missed...please forgive me, my medication has kicked in royally at this time.

>>>>ME>>>>>

I have been extremely busy lately and I am definately paying the price for it. I wish I had the ability to share all the goings on..but, I don't. Needless to say right now that I am faking life and trying so very hard to let my inner joy mask my pain. I will be swamped until Saturday...then, things should mellow out.

HUGS and LOVE to you all!

That sounds wonderful Ducky!! I'm going to the Indian Casino up in the mountains for the weekend. Just a couple hrs. away. Bro and sis-in-law are taking me and I was able to get free rooms both nights. E. doesn't care for it so can't talk him into going. Feel so guilty for leaving him but he insists. He's had a rough few weeks and is so nervous abt. the hearing. A lot riding on it and he's so plain spoken and stoic, he has a hard time articulating how he feels. Hearing is not until late Oct. Long time to wait but we've been waiting for yrs. If we ever, no, when he gets his Disability, we're going on HIS dream vacation, An island w/ beaches and palm trees.
I tried Ducky's pork recipe the other night. Yes, I actually cooked a little. It was so easy and tasty. Haven't been able to eat Spaghetti for 3 months (too spicy) so I'm making that tonight. Again, nice and easy. Still very tired and lethargic but hope to start improving soon.

I'm haveing a pretty good day, medium pain day, and a break from the heat, its overcast and 68 degrees. my joints can sure feel the humidity tho.

I'm looking forward to takeing a nap when hubby gets home from the grocery store.

Hubbys contract ended so he's been outta work for a few weeks now and i'mm still getting used to him being home all day. He gets in the way of my routine LOL my house looks like a tornado hit it! LOL and he's a huge computer hog! LOL so i don't get to chat with you all over my morning cup of coffee anymore, i usually check in about lunchtime now. I appriciate him letting me nap almost everyday but i can say i'm looking forward to him working again. He gets into mopey moe mode when he's outta work.

Now that i'm done with my cathater i gotta get back on track and make my DVR appointment and see what jobs are out there for me.

hugs to all

i've really enjoyed reading this thread and yes irockets legs are just as sexy as can be LOL
