Hi Guys. I bought myself a new pair of jeans. Size 16. They are too big!!! But I already wore them and took the tags off. Maybe they will shrink.
Exhubby will come home from the hospital tomorrow. I have had enough visits and calls to and from his family. Yesterday at the hospital I was talking to his sister and I realized she thought that we might be getting back together cause I was being so nice to him. Arghghghghghgh
Then I blew with my kids last nite. I need breaks from them....they are not fun when they are together with nothing to do.
I woke up in total pain. Stress. Don;t need this.

Default Hi

Hi Everybody...I just spent the weekend up at my daughters. My son-in- law gave me a full body Massager with heat. Homedics put them out. I haven't used it yet as a matter a fact no one has .. It is brand new.I will tonight . my back has been in knots and pain for a week.
Ally.. It's strange how even when you are no longer married to these guys ,you can't get rid of them. I guess the kids are the connection. Always will be. I guess he isn't married so he just dumps back into your lap. I had some 16 jeans. I took up the crotch and a little in the waist and still wear them.
Happy I am still hoping you feel better every day.Sad about the way the medal for the skaters went. It took a lot of the happiness out of it for them ,I bet.
Mima.. Keep right on enjoying yourself...
Hey Candice, Meme... I say my G/daughter.. She came to her mothers for a couple hours this weekend while we we there. She is into her 3 year at Valdosta State University. She is such a sweet girl.. How did I get so lucky to have such great kids and G/children.??
Bye Girls.. My back hurts too much to sit here long...Joanne

I went to Nashville to the Rheumatologist today...that's a long trip when you feel bad. I went to the Christian Book Store first and bought a few more sound tracks, then to the Dr. at Vanderbilt and then stopped at Sam's Club on the way back and stocked up. I'm beat!!! I have a very long day tomorrow...a new student at 12 then another at 1 and one at 3 then go get Kaylyn and take her to school and pick up Ross. Back home, make dinner and start back teaching at 5 and teach until 7:30.

The Dr. said I had "Rotator Cuff Tendinitis". He told me not to use my left arm...I laughed and laughed and laughed. He said that it wouldn't get better if I kept using it. I said, I couldn't play the paino...sure couldn't teach...heck...I couldn't even go through a 'drive through' if I couldn't use my left arm. He said, get out and go in! I laughed again. He thinks I'm nuts and I KNOW he is!!!!!!! I will try to limit the use of it but I can't just STOP using my left arm...I wouldn't even be able to comb my hair!!! MEN! Besides...the right arm is getting the same thing in it...wonder if he'll want me to stop using it, too!!!!!!! I'm so sick of doctors who just sit there and talk and talk and talk about how bad you are and then not do anything to help you! They should all get Fibro for about a month..............and then let US doctor THEM!!!

Meme..most doctors suck when it comes to healing people! Now if you need an antibiotic they have no problem with that! that sounds like the same probel I had with my arm 3 years ago that lead to the overuse of the elbow so watch out! I still have problems with it and they couldn't do anything for it either. PT just made it worse..I just had to limit the use of it, never soucld totally stop using it either!

Ally...hope your jeans shink..........

Mima...if you are on vacation why are you cleaning!



I have been taking benedryl for my drainage(giving me a sore throat) and it make me so tired and I don't need that! I spent today trying on old clothes again..I have to just picth some of these they just don't look good on me anymore..getting old is the pits! Everything droops!

Happy must be out driving!

Joanne..since you sew can you take the waist band off of jeans with no problem???? (just cut it off) My sis gave me apir of tight fitting strech jeans and the waist is too tight but the butt fits great and I have seen the no waist band jeans out there???????????

Default Hello

Hey Candyce-I have a prescription for Allegra and it doesn't m,ake me tired. Another beautifyl day!!!We are going to hear an Elvis impersonator tonight. With a bunch of people. I only cleaned a little because Mike and Jill came over to eat. They have no kitchen.I have a hard time cooking for Mike because he went to Culinary school and he is very fussy but it turnrd out good. I guess we are going to the pool for a while today. What a life. Brad's hands are all healed from the cuts he gets at work so he says he looks like an office boy. Hey meme, I think I have tendonitis in my roatator cuff too. It hurts like it did before I had surgery but I can raise my arms and swim-which I couldn't do before. So I hope it's not torn. Hi to everyomne else. Mima

Default Hi

Candice- I would carefully take the waistband off.Don't cut it off, you will lose length in the crotch.(One way) Buy some denim material and make a new band the size you need. (2nd way)Get some grograin ribbon and attach as you would a waist band free skirt or pants. You will lose about an inch with this method in the crotch. Now on both methods be careful of the zipper. keep it down(open). until you have attached the bands.Good Luck!
Meme- Busy as always. It is easy for Dr.to give good advice. I would like to see some of them follow their own advice if the tables are turned. Why didn't he inject you shoulder. It would probably take care of the problem.
Candice- Try some sudafed(non drowsy).It should help you. It does me..
Hello Happy.Mima
I tried the body massage last night .. Short time. I read where you shouldn't use them before sleep as it could delay sleep. I don't need that! I have enough problems there. So I slept on the heating pad. I guess it will take time to work it's way out...
Bye...Joanne
