The bad news is, I'm having migraines again! The good news is, I lost 2 more pounds!
We really went through it with our 6 yr. old grandson last week. He was in the hospital 2 nights, got to come home on Friday. He was just totally out of his head. He got sick at school, started throwing up and was running a temp of 102. His mom brought him home and put him to bed. About 30 minutes after he went to sleep he got up and just went wild. Was running through the house screaming someone was after him. He crawled under a table and put his hands over his head and said, "Mama, don't you see all those people?" They took him to the Dr. but he couldn't find anything, said he wanted to do a CAT and MRI. He went home and then that night he woke up screaming he couldn't sleep for all the noise. There was no noise. He was totally out of his head again. They took him to the hospital. They did a CAT, MRI, EEG and Spinal Tap but didn't find anything at all. He seems fine now. Had one small episode in the hospital the first night but other than that he's been ok. His temp wasn't high enough for him to have hallucinations. I told them it sounded like "Night Terrors" to me but when they asked the Drs. about that they said they didn't think so. But...I've been THROUGH Night Terrors with my baby granddaughter and it sounds exactly like what she was doing a year ago. Nearly drove us all crazy. Her's lasted for over 3 months and no body got any sleep. She was only 18 months old and would wake up screaming her head off, fight us, kick us and would just be wild and sometimes it lasted for several hours. I just hope his is over with!!! Makes me tired just telling you about it!
We are having the most awesome weather. Sunny, in the upper 60s and lower 70s and NO RAIN! YES!!! Bad thing is some places not too far from here are having forest fires because it is so dry! I hate that but I don't want it to rain and turn cold either...
Candice -Are you by any chance on colestrol lowereing meds? I have been having arm pain for so long I forgot when it started, Sleeping with pillows etc... Well ,I got it into my head that it was the meds. The Dr. has taken me off them for several weeks and then I start them again. If the pain comes back then they will know it was the meds. I don't have the pain that was in the muscles(not the joints),like I did before. I really think it was the Zocor that was causing it. Not just my arms but severe cramps in my leg too.Why isn't it, that inlaws can't accept and blend with us. ??I had that problem for all the years my mother in law was alive. If there ever was a stone she was it. Some people would say the "mother in law from ****."She would not release any of her children so they could live their own lives.
Memi- Do you come to Fl. for just a month or two or the season? We have been having some good weather. We do need the rain though.
Hello Happy- You are getting the cold weather about now.. It is in the 70s here. This a nice time of year. Not hot or cold. Ofcouse we don't get much cold. I have had the same light weight coat for about 20 years. I bet I haven't worn it a dozen times.
Hello Ally- Memetoo I hope you all are feeling great..
Joanne, we are NOT having cold weather. It is absolutely beautiful, and all the snow we did have is long gone. It is in the late 50'sF here and for us that is a heatwave this time of year. Don't even need a jacket on. Just great weather.
Meme - that poor little guy. I sure hope he is feeling better. My little grand daughter is going through something similar at the moment - nightmares. She wakes up screaming and it all is real to her. I can remember my son doing that when he was 3 as well. Not so much my daughter. Don't recall her ever having bad dreams.
Mima hope you are ok. Didn't hear from you today.
Hi, Ally and Candice.
Meme and Candice, remember the mouse in my house last year, well his relative came in last night Now it has me shaking in my boots. Set a couple of traps and put out some nice seed for him, so hopefully he was hungry. I haven't gone downstairs to look - I am a chicken.
Well, it does sound like good weather all the way round, so that is nice. Hopefully the forest fires will get put out soon, with a little rain.
Memetoo- How did you do that-(bring my thread to the right place) .You are so smart! I would never know what to do. THANK YOU!I have never heard of things like your g/sons upset. He must have really had something traumatise him. My g/son was allowed to watch some scary movies when he was small and my daughter soon found out the results. He still sleeps with a light on in his room.At least he did till he joined the navy. I guess from what he says there are lights on all the time on the ship.He still loves those movies!!Good for you on the weight loss! Sorry you are having headaches.
Happy- I know what you mean about mice. We have had a problem from time to time with mice and squirrels in our attic. My hubby has done just about everything he can to keep them out. We had a lot of work done this past fall and was assured we would not have the problem anymore. Well guess what??We put traps and a little feast out from time to time and that helps. Thank God they haven't gotten in the house. I would probably say "here it is "at least until my hubby brought in the marines.No cold weather??
Bye you nice people...Joanne
Hi Joanne. No, no cold weather yet. Had a few days when it was coat weather, but so far so good. Usually in November, we are quite oftern heading down to 30 below for about a week. The past few years, we have had weather that is certainly not good old Alberta weather. That's ok, I will take this any old day.
Squirrels in the attic and mice running overhead would do me in as well. This little mouse in the house is driving me crazy. Not going to far afield.
I did manage to clean the cookies and temp. internet files out of my computer, and defrag the poor thing. Now it is running pretty good. Also, baked some muffins and made a loaf of bread. Reading a book on nutrition and ya know I eat just fine - I don't eat a lot of junk food, so I guess maybe, because of lack of exercise, I am just plain eating to much. Doesn't feel like it, but it must be. Not going to cut the nutrients out of my diet that is for sure.
I didn't post yesterday because there were no replies after mine from the day before.But now we have plenty.Joanne-I'm going to FL. from Jan.15-April 1-longest time yet. We are warming up here-going for a walk with my aunt tomorrow and chair yoga today which is good because I have been doing too much needlework and I'm stiff. Sad about your grandson, Meme. Hope he'll be ok.How's the house sale going , Happy? About cholesterol drugs-I had to stop taking Lipitor because of cramps in my stomache. But I did hear a report last night sayng they were the best for lowering cholesterol. On my own, I lowered mine from 228 to 208 from waliking,dieting, and fish. My HDL is high-that's really good. I eat a lot of oatmeal too. But it is a problem. Joanne-you do so much walking!!It would seem that you wouldn't have a problem. I have a big decision to make-where to go for Thanksgiving?2 invitations so far. Such problems!!!Be good everyone. Mima
Mima...I wish I had your problem!!! I'll trade with you!
My problem is EVERYONE is coming here for Thanksgiving. Between 13 and 15 people...depending if hubby asks his Aunt and Uncle who have no children and no where else to go. I have Kaylyn today...she's a pain and I dread it. 4 years old and very demanding...not a good day for her...I have a migraine again!
Hope you are all well, and Meme, hope that your headache is better. What are the triggers that cause your migranes - is it meds? or what?
Well it looks like we have sold this house - again! Let's hope it goes ok this time. I think it will. It is a cash sale, and they are having an inspection done tomorrow morning and then it will be finished. Can't imagine that it wouldn't pass an inspection as it is only 2 1/2 yrs. old, and it is a well built home. Wish us luck. Also, if sold (will know for sure after 21 Nov.) we have to move by 14 Dec. Actually this is a lifesaver, as I won't have time to do any Christmas baking, so that means less eating. I think we might even all live - and maybe ever longer!
Joanne - from what I was reading in a nutrition book that I got from the library - try to increase the protein a bit and eat only low glycemic foods - not a lot of bread and pastas, as that raises the insulin level and causes carbs to be stored as fat. Might help get rid of those few pounds you have.
Ally - Hello and where are you? Haven't heard from you for a few days. Is she away?
Hi Candice - hope your arm is feeling better.
Hi Mima - nice that you are able to make a getaway to Florida. Me, I will stay where it is cold. Can't stand the heat much either. I am used to this weather and find it kind of invigorating at times. Certainly nice and fresh!
Oh, yes, by the way, got the mouse, so can now get my washing done!
NO mice here yet but there will be!!!!! They are eating my indian corn outside in my arragement by the well! I have one cat that knows what a mouse is but only outside, when they are inside he thinks they live here!
Bummer.....the doc said no more shots cause they could damage the tendon and to keep using it but just nothihg heavy or that causes an extreme amout of pain and to give it time and see him in Feb. IF IT IS NOT BETTER.... THEN TALK ABOUT SURGERY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS FOR ME! So I am going to be plugging away and hope that I don't over do with all this Christmas stuff!LOL
We are having that Tuna casserole again to night just love it and it is so guilt free! It cuts back a point if you don't use the albacore cause I refigured using the regular light water paced tuna tonight! Had to have a handful of thos FF onions though..but I counted them!
Been having dreams of eating stuff at Roseanne Barr's (I don't even like her all that well) house that I would never eat... like a DQ peanut butter parfait and tons of candy and nuts..so not even like me even before WW!!!!Wonder what's up???
Meme..sorry about your grandson! You know last year when you had the family you had headaches too..hummm...could they be related
Anne..your way of eating sounds good to me and at our age if we are not very active we don't need much to eat! I am supposed to get by on 1250 calories a day!
Joanne..I am not on anything that should be making my arm hurt....All the stuff is for selep and anxiety! (and it is not very much anymore!) Thanks for the though though!
Mima..tell me more about the chair yoga, a tape or a class is it????
Hey Guys.......busy busy. Remember that guy I told you about going thru the divorce? Well...we went out on Sunday and I think he is .......... sweet on me. Giggle giggle.
Lots of complications still. Kids, loony wife who appears to be depressed or in mid life crisis. But he told me that he has had a crush on me for years. I needed that ego boost.
He also told me that I put myself down too much and that I have a nice body.
So...he is blind too.
Meme...I had a kid with night terror. He did the SAME thing. Would say things were getting him and run from one end of the house to the other. He just outgrew it, but it was scary for a while. Migraine.....I just went to get my prescription for Midrin refilled and it is now a controlled substance. It does get me good and goofy if I take two. But I had a week of migraines too.
Hello everyone else....... gotta go let the dog in.
Maybe if I know a man is going to look at my bare butt....I'll lose some weight.
Easy now...down girl down!!! Don't bare that bottom unless you are absolutely SURE you want to raise more kids!!! (And sure you can deal with teenagers, someone else's kids AND A LOON!!!)
There are some things that trigger my migraines. Choc. and yogurt are two of the worst (and I love them both). I don't think it is any of my meds since I've been having them for over 30 years. The Neurologist says the veins in my forhead are too small to carry the blood flow when my heart starts beating too fast (I have PAT) so...the pressure causes a migraine. My heart has been acting up the last few days so that may be the cause of these but I KNOW sometimes they are caused by stress...they are different...they come on from the BACK instead of the front and hurt down the back of my neck on the right side, too. They are almost always on the right side, I don't average one or two a year on the left and I could take a pencil and draw a line around where the pain starts and stops. Feels like someone took a sledge hammer and hit me in the eye, cheek and forehead!
D-I-L got sick...strep...the Dr. told her not to work the rest of the week so my daughter has her 2 kids and I have my daugthers baby, Jenna...the one I keep all the time. I'm supposed to keep her tomorrow anyway so she is just spending the night here. I had Kaylyn...4 yr. old...from 7 to 3...went to get Ross (5) at 3 and kept him until church time...had to give him a bath and get him ready etc., then got Jenna when I got home from church...I'm sooooo tired!!! All my muscles are screaming at me.
I'm so glad I don't have to move...too much stuff. Son has his house up for sale so they may be moving soon or as Kaylyn says, "We're moobing!" She hasn't mastered her Vs yet! HA Or her Fs either she told me today she wanted Beta Chini for lunch...anybody know what that is??? I was lucky that I had some in the fridge. (Fettuccine) That is her favorite food...she'd eat it 3 times a day if you'd fix it for her!
Got another looooong day tomorrow...gotta go to bed. Candice take care of that arm and Anne be careful packing and moving! Mima...take me to FL with you PLEASE!!! Hi Joanne. Have any of you heard from Tutie???
Meme..speaking of loons (that was just too funny but very good advice!) have you all every been to Rochester, MN (Mayo Clinic) They have a big pond there that is heated by factory and the water never freezes and the loons are wall to wall and very friendly. Quite a site to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had the most frustrating day yesterday-thanks for the posts-it sure makes things look better. As for the yoga class-He spent most of his time telling stories and TALKING about yoga so I hurt just as much when I left. Some seemed to enjoy it but I know about the stuff he's talking about. Need to say something !!!!I need the breathing and the stretching and he usually does a lot of shoulder work which is wonderful. I was in a yoga class once where she asked you what you needed for that class.But I hurt myself at regular yoga classes.
Advice but who asked-Ally, when I am needy , wanting a man to approve me, I get in a lot of trouble-pick the wrong one. Been there. Candyce-do not be afraid of surgery-drugs for 10 days after and then some rehab. And then you can go back to a normal life. I couldn't even swim before I had surgery on my shoulder.Meme-feel better-I get fibro pain from milk and wheat. Joanne-I agree with Happy-sugar turns to fat but isn't it goood. Happy-good luck. Now-when I"m feeling out of control-I get into everyone's business so that's it. Be good-gonna get a rental car today-Enterprise-they pick you up!!Haha . Bye Mima
