Hi folks...I could have stated this midnight. Apparently, my body thought I only needed 3 hours of sleep! Hate when that happens!
I overdid yesterday. My arms don't do well when I try to act a little 'normal'. Everything is still screaming today. I only have to go to my weekly shrink appt. at 10:00. I agreed to have lunch with an old friend, but think I'm going to be forced to cancel. 75% of the time, I don't even answer my phone when he calls...poor guy.
It's raining, in the 30s and the wind is gusting to over 40 mph. I guess I won't be planting my beans today, either!
Wishing everyone a pleasant Monday.
Hugs...

Our weather is changing, so the "body" is letting me know it needs time to adjust!
May you be blessed with warm sunshine coming your way soon!
Pain all over....have to take my mom out for lunch ...birthday. Son has a dr. apt. this afternoon. I dunno!
Hugs to all,hope you have a good day
JanCam, are you any better? I am keeping you in my thoughts.
Paulina, glad to here that things are starting to perk up for you a tiny. Every gain is good right?
Myshoes, I am so glad to see you check in. You are missed my friend.
Dixie, I am so sorry about your hand/fingers...that always makes things so much harder. I hope you are able to enjoy lunch with mom today. I love doing that stuff with my mom.
ME>>>Emailed my doc last night...hoping to have a new walker before the end of the week. The kids are on spring break this week--the last week of the month! I hate that...groceries are lean and no money to give them for anything...GRRRRR.
My mood is still icky poo...but, I think I see light coming in. I'm pretty sore from the fall but...I have decided that I am more upset about my walker. I have also decided that my ego hurts worse than the fall. Fat people don't fall good but, we should especially not do it in public--it wasn't pretty I'm sure. LOL!
Anyway...my support and HUGS to you all today. I hope your day is as good as possible with as little pain as possible too. XOXOOX
cherry...what happened with your MRI? When my shoulders were killing me the doc told me not to use them. Maybe you can try that with your arms. LOL!
jc...you are at the brink of the beginning of the end of your tunnel...keep going!
shoes...I hope you and your daugther are finding answers at docs.
Dix...I don't know how you keep going. Take care of yourself.
I hate the lack of sleep too Cherry...hope your day is good!
JCAnd Paulina keep feeling better and better!!!
Myshoes hope all is well!

Have a good Monday everyone!

Went to my sister's yesterday and it was my first solo drive that far in over a year. I had planned to take my TENS for when I got there but forgot it. I survived anyway and it really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. The visit was nice though my sister, whose birthday it was, seemed to be a bit stand-offish. She barely spoke to me and I don't know why. I get along great with my Mom and youngest sister but this one, she lived away for 20 years and just moved 'home' 2 years ago; she's not like the rest of us and can be a snob at times. Yesterday was one of those times I guess.
Cherry - we're having the same weather here; quite a disappointment after having summer last week
JC - glad you're feeling less 'blah' today, now to work on that sleep
Paulina, Lisa, Dixe - good to see you here despite issues with posting for your various reasons
Ducky - shame about the walker but we're more concerned about you. Hope your mood lifts soon, I hate feeling icky poo
Sis - Hope your head dries out soon. Do you have a pretty castle in your fish bowl?
Autumn - sorry your weekend was a bust, here's hoping your week turns around soon, hugs
Big hugs to everyone, seems 'blah' and 'icky poo' are the words and sentiment of the day. Sending positive thoughts and rays of sunshine to you all, hope the day gets better.

SD I could teach you how to fall. In my lifetime I have fallen forward, backwards, and sideways. I have tripped on cracks in the sidewalk and I even tripped over a speed bump once. Then two and a half years ago there was the famous "deck dive". Once I left the doctor's office after having had lab work tripped on a crack in sidewalk, landed right back up in the office for tetanus shot and stitches. CURSES TO THE WALKER AND WHERE IT CAME FROM. I hope your ego and bruises and all else is healing.
Wishing you all less pain and more joy.
love and peace

Just as an FYI--Saturday, I was very sarcastic and nasty to my son about missing my birthday--the test of wills that I had with Bob brought that on.... I asked Bob to talk to him and he felt it unnecessary. I did ask Mark to forgive me for the hateful attitude I had about it but that now I was calling him on it and told him how hurt I was....He said he knew when it was but was working two weeks straight and forgot it...he apologized and said he would do better. That is all I can ask of Mark...he is extremely add....and life can be a struggle for him. Of the two, Mark has a much more tender heart. Sara will argue till the cows come home and never admit wrong...
The message yesterday in church was powerful. It was about parenting...it was not condemnation if you blew it....but for me, I saw a lot of areas that I could have done much better than I did... I did have health issues and my prescription meds were not managed correctly; amongst other things I was on way too much prednisone and over the top on pain medication...one thing that was mentioned to me was that it takes nine affirmations of love and acceptance to every one issue that you want to confront....a real eye opener for me....I apologized to both kids and again their responses were different but Mark's was far more forgiving and he also said, the past is the past...I told the kids that I was only speaking for myself...
I realize this is journal material so skip over it and indulge me....I just needed to get it off of my chest.
Bob and I made peace...not quite kiss and make up but we dd apologize to each other; our perspectives are very different in our approach to life.. ...I will be so glad when he gives it up the post office...he is fed up...we will make it; it will be hard financially but I feel that our quality of life will improve significantly when he is out of the pressure cooker...The serentity prayer is very appropriate for me to recite in this instance.
Low grade headache and still a stuffy gunky nose but I will make it....a cup of joe will probably help....gotta git...voluntaring at the church all day (9-4) others have covered for me so I felt I could pay it forward and allow them some quality time with their school age children during spring break...
I love you all and each one of you will be in my prayers today for your needs and relationships and needs for support.
Make it a good day...it is the only March 26, 2012 that we get! I love this Easter season....hopefully spring will think about landing in Oregon one of these days!
Big gentle hugs,
Melinda
Hoping everyone is getting along OK.
I doing better than I have been. Started Cymbalta about a week and a half ago.
Big Hugs,
David.
