Hey Everyone,
I take my dog Rocco out on a regular basis and he'll sniff around and usually "GO" in the same area. He leaves his mark.
Here is our opportunity to start a new daily, if you could, thread to let us know how you are doing. The other one we have is coming up on 300, and by starting a new one it will benefit those who have recently joined us.
Tell us how you are,good, bad or indifferent, we would like for all of our group to maintain our bond.
So let's do it..............I'll start.

Thanks to all of you for your support on my MRI yesterday. I had such a headache last night;could not get to sleep. Finally about 7:30 this morning I fell asleep.
My day is so messed up now from sleeping in....actually I feel like I could use another nap. Why not?? With chronic fatigue syndrome you can nap whenever you want....LOL
Everyone have a wonderful "rest of Wednesday". You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to all,
MaryKathryn
I am having problems finding transportation. This is so stressful I'm about ready to pull the hair out of my head. ( The kind of client Cherry needs lol). I missed my drs appt last week, because I didn't have a ride there. It's an hour away. I made another appt for the 21st and I'm trying to round up a ride and so far i'm having no sucess. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do about this? I really need this visit to my dr, so I can get my meds refilled and i'm going to talk to her about getting a scooter so I can get around to the store near me.
Hope everyone has a good week and many hugs,
Toni
I am guessing you have tried all the obvious like friends and family. I am not sure if you have a drivers license or not but how about renting a car I know a bit expensive but if you are out of all other options that may be it or how about the bus in my area we have buses going every which way and all it takes is time to get to the bus stop and do the transfers.
Is there a closer doctor that you can go to in the future as a hour away without transportation can get tricky and maybe finding one that is much closer it will not be so hard for you to get a ride.
If you can not get a ride see if the doc will at least call in the meds for you if he will
Toni...I wish I could drive you to your appt.!
Wishing everyone a comfortable day.
Cherry

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day that changed my life and everything that goes with it. It is tough some days, and this may be one. I'm going to reach down in my gut and grab a handful and just hold on. I have a lot of things going on.
OK.........enough about me. Let's hear from you.
Have a great day.
Big Hugs,
David.
Boy is it humid here in MI and I am just sitting and I am soaking wet. I had a anxiety attack as I walked Mariah to school to come home and no internet and I am thinking great I have a system sit and drink coffee go on the computer till a certain time and then do this and that and if one is knocked out well it will screw up my whole day. I am a creature of habit. LOL good thing it came back on as just sitting watching the news it is depressing.
I just caught the tail end of the news report but some guy just shot eight people at an salon I am not sure what happened but I am going to have to read up on it and see what the heck went on as how is it so bad you would do a thing like that.
Hope everyone has a great day
I love how you open up only a fraction...and then shut yourself down. I do that too a lot...I think it is because if I open it up sometimes----it will just flow like volcanic lava and will never stop.
I am so sorry that today is hard for you. It is never easy to be "lucky" to never forget events like this. It will always be with you---a constant reminder of what was and what is. Please just know that I am praying for you and sending you lots of love. I wish there was a way that I could take away your pain...I will just be here and support you with open arms instead. You do not have to anchor yourself alone--ever--that is what we are here for my dear friend.
@Toni
I am reasearching today regarding this...I will call you later my love
@MK
Nap time is always allowed and I say---take full advantage of it if you chose to.
@Manny
Isn't that horrible....apparently this is a domestic violence related assault/shooting from my understanding. A salon in California. I hate to say....but, I have seen this type of thing before. It is the most horrid of final acts in domestic violence relationships. I am just praying for them.
HUGS to you Manny and I hope you have good coffee and something better to watch to help take your mind and soul on a little vacation.
>>>>ME>>>>>
I had a great conversation with my loving friend last night...up past medicated passing out time but, it was and is always worth it. Unfortunately, I overdid it yesterday (PLEASE...STOP ME IF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE... LOLOLOL) Anyway....I was lucky enough to log maybe 3 or 4 hours of sleep intermittently last night. Today is nappy day and I have just taken all the covers from MaryKathryn because I am a cover hog. Night Night all! HUGS and XOXOXO
Manny I have a car I'm just unable to drive it. I about never found a dr that would take me on so I'm not giving this dr up. I did try to find one in my town and no luck there. Thanks for the suggestions.
Cherry you're as sweet as pie!
Superduck you're a Super friend! Love ya!
David I agree with Superduck you open up a wee little bit and then shut down. I open you open up to someone. I mourn on my anniversary too so I make a day of it and try to something I like instead.
Feel good hugs to everyone every where,
Toni
I got a call yesterday from a rehab specialist from my insurance company. Apparently he's coming to town next week and wants to meet with me, what could I say? But I made it clear that I won't be attempting to go back to work until my doctor says so, not anyone else. He didn't seem as pushy as the lady I usually talk to so we'll see. It feels like decisions are being made without me and without my doctor. Frankly I don't care if insurance thinks I should go back to work, of course they would think that. But I just went through 3 days where sitting was so painful I couldn't even sit up to eat so I don't think going to the office is going to work out. Just sayin'
Well I hope everyone is doing okay, I'll try to get caught up on everyone tomorrow when I'm thinking more clearly. Take care, Hugs and peace,
Lisa
David you are the greatest coming on here and getting everyone else here. I hope you have some real supportive people around you this week. I have a anniversary at the end of this month....Halloween eve. Not the nightmare you have I am sure but it changed my life. So I am saying extra prayers for you and sending warm hugs.
Lisa I don't think I could live three days without my comptuter. I am glad you are back online. Sounds like the insurance is getting a little pushy. Good for you on standing your ground.
Manny sorry you were forced to watch the news because you were offline. How tragic domestic violence is. I hope your day got better and tomorrow you will have coffee and internet.
Miss Fluffy Duck I hope you cozied up with all the blankets and went to sleep. I know what you mean about the opening a floodgate. I have been that way all my life. I have a built in switch that stays in off position and learned as a child. Some things are hard to change. I luvs you fluffy one.
Everyone else I know major things are going on and we need one another so lets keep talking and supporting.
Amerika, Mary Catherine, Tipper and Leo. BTW I understand Miss Tipper has a neon pink cast to honor Breast Cancer Month. Leo is in a regular room out of ICU today. Amerika I hope that water is pouring out. Mary Catherine just let us carry you in prayer and you just show up for that test. Foofy please just stay off the research sites and love that little guy and let the doctor figure it out.
Hugs to all......the very warm air hugs that don't hurt.
Getting ready to take my niece to school it is not raining so no umbrella's today it is one of my favorite times of the day the beginning and knowing of all the possibilities for the day.
Call out to any MI people Go Tigers we won the game last night
Hope everyone has a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Pain has been up but I am trying to deal with it but it is hard
Probably did too much yesterday but I don't feel too bad so far.
I'm sorry my moods been in the crapper lately, i'm struggling with feeling like I'm worth anything and I just haven't been real positive lately.
I got the lab work back and everything was OK except for something in my Chollesteral(sp) level. Something that was supposed to be under 100 was up over 500 so now I have a brand new pill to add to my cocktail. Oh and I'm supposed to exersise and eat right too. Hmmmm, we'll see.
Hope everyone is good today,
Mike

miss everyone...... my neck is too fragile to type.
Mike good to hear your voice on here. Glad everything is not too bad with blood work. So now you have the cholesterol police on you. Sounds like triglycerides but does seem strange it would be just that. I just know of two
LDL, my doctor calls lethal and HDL my doctor calls healthy. Anyway that little pill should help. Sorry another pill is
added.
Grandchildren since yesterday. One is at home with us today because of wheezing and needing inhaler. He leaves when dad gets off work and two more come for this evening. On Saturday the other two come back cause dad has to work. I will be helping my 8 year old with her autiobiography. That will be fun. We have gone through pictures and things I was saving for her scrapbook. Give me a glue stick and a little girl and I am happy. After going through all the pics in my picture file I am missing another baby. They grow up so fast.
