Fibromyalgia #97
 

Boy, you guys have been "yakky".

Candice, as usual looking young. Hope your plants don't blow away.

Meme - I could send you some sun. We FINALLY got some, and it was 30 today (about 90 above) and the same yesterday. A storm just passed through and cooled the air off, thank goodness. Tomorrow it will be a LOT cooler, thank goodness.

I am busy packing, packing, packing. Seems like lots of stuff. I guess I will be done by Friday as we are moving Saturday morning. I hope my back holds out. Right now I feel like the semi ran amok and ran me over:dizzy:

I plan on vegging out on the couch tonight and doing nothing, except reading my book. Haven't really sat down all day.

Hi Joanne, Ally, Anagram, Mima - Hope you gals are all doing fine. I just NEED to make it until the middle of next week and then I can take a break.

I won't be on my computer for a few days. I hope you all get sunshine and nice warm days. See you all next week. Will be off line from Friday until I get reconnected.

I could use some sun...BAD. Rained here again tonight! Rained so hard we couldn't get out of the car at McDonald's. Took Ross to eat and was nearly late for church. I'm so sick of it.

What's your book about?

Gotta go watch Jungle Book 2 with Ross...just bought it at Wal Mart. I'm hurting sooo bad, maybe it'll take my mind off my aches and pains!

Meme..did you get my sun on the other thread?????????????


Happy enjoy reading:)

My son got back early from his little vacation to lake
Superior..I was looking forward to a few more days without him

If I have the 3 MRI's, low back and both hips we have to pay 1000 out of pocket so DH is trying to talk me out of it..but I have not even seen the doc yet. Seemed alittle easier to bend today but that part is just muscle I know already. I just want to make sure I do not have a problem that my exercising or overdoing willl make much worse. It's probably just the fibro...but this pain feels different?

Gonna be a nice one today..rain yesterday so no walk....we nee d the rain too.

My roses have that ugly black spot I am trying to get under control..it is so hard once it starts..and with my back I let it go for a week and it has taken over

Candice, I bet if you take some time off to rest you will be better-I had that sciatic pain for months and when I corrected tests I got a rest from all the work and now it is gone!!!!WE seem to take longer to heal. Rented a car yesterday and it smells of smoke and I am wheezing-I may bring it back to get another one. Plus it rained all day yesterday and I did eat stuff I shouldn't have . Went to Aunties and we couldn't walk and all she did was feed us. Her son was there too. He is so funny!!I'm going for a walk today-may tackle putting the seat of the swing together. HA!!!I will read the directions 3 times. Meme-we are getting rain every day. Church picnic is Sunday and the forecast is iffy.Anne-take it as easy as you can-moving is so hard,Have a great day everyone. Mima

Hey There
 

I am one of those strange people that really likes the rain. I guess I would do well in a rain forest except for the mold ,bugs and crawly creatures. We have been getting a lot of rain this week. We go for weeks though without any.
I go to Tops tonight and I will be lucky to just turtle. It will probably be a gain. Sometimes ,I think I should be thankful to stay as I am. I did pretty good this week with my eating ,but, the scale stays the same. Up and down.
I haven't walked as I should. Need more energy and motivation. Complaining won't help.
Happy- Don't do as I do. Overdo with the move. Although I haven't moved in the last 42 years,I have helped our son move many times. He is planning on selling the house he is in so I guess he will do it again. I am not sure I am up to it again. He will have to put his girlfriend to work. She never makes a bed so he may have a challenge.
Hello Candice ,Ally,Anagram, Mima, Meme.Hope you feel better Meme.
Joanne

Yes, Candice, I got your sun. Unfortunately I had to leave it on the other thread. It is supposed to be clear for a few days. Let us hope the weather people in Nashville know what they are talking about. The ground is so saturated that when it rains now it just stands...there is no place for it to go. We have major mosquito problems this year, too, so there is concern about the West Nile Virus here. Hubby mowed the lawns a couple of evenings ago and came in for some Avon bug spray. He said he looked down and his arms were covered up with mosquitos. YUCK! I'm so allergic to them. When they bite me I whelk like most people do with a bee sting so we are very careful to keep them out of the house here. We have to keep the dog treated, too because she stays on the front porch most of the time. I hate wet weather.

I have an app. with the Neurologist this afternoon. I'm hoping he will cut me loose. I haven't had a migraine in over 2 months now thanks to the Tomamax!

I've been craving chocolate... Sometimes I think I still have the cravings of "that time of month" even though I no longer have "that time of month" due to a hysterectomy... after all ... I do still have my ovaries so I guess it's possible!

Candice... here's some rain for you!!! :D

Well...he DID cut me loose. I can't believe it! I'm still in shock! Nearly every Dr. I've ever had has kept me coming back every 3 or 4 months...for new prescriptions if for nothing else. When I went up front to pay I asked when I needed to make another app. and they said I didn't unless I started having migraines again or another problem I needed to see him about. They said when I needed my prescriptions refilled just to call them. He told me since I've stopped losing weight that if I wanted to lose some more I could take an extra topamax at night and drink more water and drop another 10 or 12 pounds. He said by taking it before bed at night I probably wouldn't feel any side effects from it. I may try it for a few nights and see what happens.

TIRED OF ALL THIS RAIN?
You have to live in TN to appreciate this one.


A curious fellow died the other day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment. As he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven. Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning pit. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss a soul off to one side into a small pile. After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow's curiosity got the best of him. So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing. "Excuse me, Mr. Prince of Darkness," he said. "I'm waiting in line for judgment, but I couldn't help wondering...why are you tossing those people aside instead of flinging them into the Fires of **** with the others?" "Ah, those...," Satan said with a groan. "They're all from Tennessee. They're still too wet to burn."

Siwa....He said the very northern end of Wis. didn't give me a name or anything.

We have had a nice spring too and your flowers are just behind mine about a week.

DH walked with me tonight and we went through the small village near us and we were admiring someones yard and the lady came out and proceeded to talk our arms off! Then she oppend the garage to show us what a hunter her DH was..moose stuff, deer, fox, cyote's all stuffed and then she took us into the house it it was full of dead animals..I mean you have never seen so much stuff......they looked so real! But hey... I would not want them in my home! I wanted to ask her how she cleans all that stuff! I did not see a spec of dust around. Then DH wanted to get home so he made me walk to fast and now my hips hurt! My WW pedometer pooped out on me so not sure how much walking we did. I just love looking at other peoples gardens and stuff...she did have a neat walkway..we need to put some in out here..we need to do alot of stuff!

Move over Candice-I'm hurting from putting the rest of my lawn swing together-only a couple of do -overs. I am so proud of myself but I do hurt today and of course it's raining hard. Supposed to go to church picnoc on Sun but it's supposed to rain so we are going to skip it. Was going to make a strawberry rhubarb dessert-I'll make half of it for Brad and use Splenda. I weigh in today-haven't been too good. I would be happy to turtle. Did I tell you In was appointed to weigh people? I am the smallest one there but I struggle just as much. Who has the sun?Bye for now. Mima

Yikes-it might not rain tomorrow-clear right now but not for long. I am so wheezy!!!Had to use my inhaler. I gained 1/4 lb. but that's ok-it's those darn tortilla chips I love. They are now gone. Gonna make my strawberry-rhubarb dessert after all-went and dug up rhubarb in Brad's moms yard-house is not sold yet!!!Have a great weekend everyone. Mima

Wll, I am no turtle, and I hate this rain.
Should be my son's graduation day but they both need summer school. Some of my friend's have kids in the same boat. But I knew this a month ago so my kids did not get measurd for caps and gowns. Now they say we could have gone today and gotten blank diplomas. Thanks for telling me. But truly this has not been a good experience at school. There is no love between me and the Superintendent. I would have hard time shaking his hand.
I think parents of difficult kids should have their own graduation ceremony. We are the ones who did our kids homework, went to a thousand meetings, got called out of work etc . Those high honor roll kids probably did not get their parents to do their homework!!!

Ally you are right...my high honor roll kid never wants my help with anything but laundry and food!:lol: Did you see Oprah on parents, kids and the role the school should play..a buch of parents were sueing the school and teacher to make a point!

Oh..mima..I feel your pain all too well:( I am much worse sicne I walked to fast with DH..my back and hips..nothing will help but rest. I cannot sit..that is the big problem...it hurts to sit really bad..so I cannot even get in the car right now.

Nice here but hot and humid on the way next week:eek:

I have had Jenna (4 yr. old) all weekend and she has worn me out completely. She is never still for a minute. She goes home after church tomorrow...I'll go to bed! She is our little Ditzy Blonde Barbie Doll. Everything in her room is pink and when you open her closet door - everything hanging in her closet is pink (or - as she says - pinkt!) She had to have her nails painted pinkt after her bath tonight. But you should see her now ... curled up in a little ball with her hair tucked behind one ear sound asleep. She's beautiful!

I sometimes wish I could go somewhere (alone) for a few weeks and just rest.

That's cute Meme-oh Ally-do I know what you mean-my son quit high school in his senior year-I went to so many meetings about him and since I was a teacher myself, I was always so ashamed. But he did me proud when he got his GED and later graduated from Ferris State with a degree in engineering technology. I love to meet his old teachers and tell them how well he has done. All the stuff he went through helped him get where he is . You never know. Besides, sometimes they have to suffer the consequences of their choices-.At least they have gotten this far!!!Be courageous Ally!!!!Another rainy weekend-we were supposed to go to the church picnic but don't want to go in the rain!!!Be good guys-Mima

My son failed 7th grade then went on to graduate in the top 10 in his class. Went to college and got his degree in Computer Engineering and is now a Network Engineer making top dollar for a string of banks with people under him in 3 states. Like Mima said, you never know!

But...then look at my husband! He barely graduated high school. No college. Is a math whiz but has major trouble with spelling and writing yet he makes $30 an hour! Go figure! Education doesn't always tell how well a person will do in the world!
