Here is a new thread cause I can't get into the other one too long!

It made my arm worse..just like I thought it would!!!!!!

What a bummer!!!!! The test was painful but
tolorable...Just when my arm was feeling better and I
thought I could work in the yard...This dumb test mad it
much worse! I tired to explain this to all the doctors
involed but they kept saying the test is no big deal and it
should not make you worse....well I feel stupid for
listening to them cause it is hurting big time! I just hope it
settles down some and everywhere they zapped me or
stuck a needle I am in pain big time! I even feel
nausiated(sp) right now so I should go take some tylenol
and try to rest I guess. I'm sure the test was normal
cause the doc kept saying everything looks fine..my doc
will have the repot in a few days. I knew it was just an
inflamation in the joint.....but I don't have a medical
degree so I don't count! I'm so mad at myself for letting
them talk me into this! Plus it was over a 1000
dollars..we have 500 deductable. Hope they pay.....they
better.....

I go for a Bone Density Thursday..hope I feel good
enough ....This is my 4th one..we are trying to build my
bones up without meds..just exercise and calcium. Hope
that worked....I'm gonna be more upset if they are still
losing calcium!

It's hurting big time so I gotta quit typing..I'll try to read your other posts later!

hope your day is going well. That test sounds like it was uncomfortable for you. Hope your arm is feeling better tonight. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and hope you have a wonderful, painfree day.

Always does that on my BD!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Anne..thats cute! I don't know where you find all your cute graphics

Well the boys are bringing home supper from a resturant and DH is getting the cake. I have points banked if I need them.......so I think I will be ok.

I hit a new goal today...40 ponds gone and can wear a size 12 and some 10's...1982 was the last time I was this weight! It just makes me want to eat right all the time!!!!!!!! (and of course exercise when I can)

My arm is feeling better today..boy did it ever hurt.scared me thinking I might not beable to get in the yard soon. I bought some pansies to put in my pots...do that every spring, they will last untill the end of June. Things are blooming here so pretty but then we get a bad storm and it kills everything! Happens around my BD or Mother's Day every year!

No new computer..my son says he is getting a new one this summer and I get his calcium enriched one!(he spilled milk all over it last week). I'm geting a new yard swing cause the one we have is falling apart..I use it all the time!

Meme, have you run off the face of the earth with your great speed? Hope you are feeling ok and that the kids are being good for you.

Ally - are your kids out of school this week? Hope you are doing ok as well.

Canadice, glad to hear that your arm was improving. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and that swing sounds like a great idea to me.

The boys did come and bring the meal, Chicken, dressing, gravy, green beans, DH brought the cake and DQ and I made the potatoes and the fresh asparagus! It was a good meal and we have left overs...the kids didn't want any to take back they were so full I just had a tiny piece of cake with a spoon ful of DQ...it was good but really sweet! Not used to that.....but I still have cake left sitting on the counter....looks so good but I know I won't eat unlesss I have the points, just might have to freeze it like the dressing that was left.

Meme must have run off or out of energy!

Anne..thanks for the cake..looks so good.....I blew all the candles out too! I'm wishing for.....oh...I can't tell you or it won't come true!

No bad storms yet...now they are saying Monday for the worst of it. Windy Saturday, but I might try to work outside if I don't get blown away!

My bone density was normal this time so eating better does help!

Hi Toots..if you ever get on again!

Hi Guys... ANd happy belated birthday Candice and I do not believe you are over 50.
My son Steve was hit by a car on Thursday on his bike and ended up having to have a steel rod put in the bone in his shin. This was not fun for him or me. We just brought him home from the hospital.
Oooops. Beloved just pulled in. That may be the hardest part of this whole thing....the amount of time I had to spend with an Ex. And I had constant reminders of why I cannot stand to be around him.
My son has to stay home from school for 2 weeks. Hope we don't have to have a tutor...that would mean I would have to have the house cleaned every day. Oh God.
How did your shots turn out ladies...is the pain any better?
I have my baggy pants on from LLBean so I feel skinny.

That's why I am heading to the store for chicken wings. No cooking for me.

Hey Ally, I hope that your son will be ok. How terrible for him and you. Wear the baggy's, go get chicken wings and eat cake!!!! I find cake just such a nice thing to eat when I am really stressed, and I know I would be if it was my son. Actually, my son got hit by a truck when he was 6 yrs. old, and I was a basketcase. All the happened was his thumb was dislocated. Just laying up on top of his hand! Thank God that was all that happened.

Hope you are taking this ok and not starting to hurt extra bad from the stress. Actually, that probably won't happen until tonight.

Keep the house clean - your ex might be around more often. Don't let him feel to comfortable(lol)

Hi ladies! I'm in NY City/Forest Hills Queens NY
Have been playing with daughters lap top and was shocked to see the bad news about Ally"s son getting hurt.
I hope by this day Sun} everything is okay and both Ally and son are better.
That sounds like a nightmare for sure, especially having to put up with old beloved.
My family here in NY are pretty good, but couldn't get anybody to drive up to Cooperstown to check up on the log house.
My trip here was bad since there was trouble on the air plane and we had to get off in Pittsburgh and change planes. But the good news I was able to upgrade to first class and the seats are so much better than in coach. Still the pain in the right thigh was very bad. It feels more like nerve pain so this week I'll go back to see the rehumi.
Candice, was that a nerve velocity test that made your elbow bad?
Well here I am again tired and sleepy.
My being here may have up set my daughters plans and her beloved asked her to go to his house.
It must be fun to be young !
I had the nerve to ask if they are serious and got a lousy answer.

He is nice and I hope there are wedding plans for the near future.

Sleep is almost here!

Hi Phyllis. Good to hear from you. Hope you are having yourself a great time, being back in your hometown. Enjoy yourself. All that sitting and a sore thigh to boot doesn't sound very comfortable. Have a good nights sleep.

Hi Candice. Hope you survived working out in your yard. Here it has been windy and cold, so have not been out to much. Next week it is supposed to get to up in the 70's so am looking forward to that. Have a nice weekend.

I screamed a bit at my son yesterday in frustration and now he thanks me for everything and keeps telling me that he loves me and is sorry for putting me thru this.

I had to wipe his butt in the hosp.! He didn't want that young hot nurse in there with him so I got nominated. This is wierd to be caring so intimately for a child who looks like a man. Today we washed his hair while he sat on the toilet and bent over a basin.

And yes, my beloved is here more than I would ever want. I was so polite and so nice to him in the hospital that he thinks he can get that kind of treatment here on my turf. Yeah.

Tootie...nice day in NY here today.
Happy....I found some even baggier pedal pushers and have myself convinced I have lost ten pounds with all this stress.....
I think I have recovered a little of my immune system because I felt no pain til today. Now when I can relax a little......wow.

Well just hanging around in my daughters cafe/soda fountain and started to get sleepy so returned to her apt. and play with her lap top again.
Brothers are well and have the usual complaints;
daughter is in the midst of buying new equipment to make home made ice cream. right now she carries the Cadilac of ice creams used at the Plaza hotel:SEDUTTO ice cream which has the highest and dense butterfat content.
met a few people I haven't seen in years.
Happy, this is not really my old neighborhood. I lived in the capital district{Albany/Schenectady area}
But catching up on visiting all the people that knew my late brother Bob and family.
AND NO I DID NOT TASTE ANY ICE CREAM / or?DESSERTS/CAKE/
and to boot I think I've only had 2 meals per day while here. but no scale so no idea what 'a happening.
Ally? are you okay? I hope your son is not in pain. Will the steel rod have to remain or will they take it out after the bone heals?
Candice I hope your arm gets better. Good job on the bone density test. I thought I was eating good also but Doc said to take caltrate w/vit D and minerals.
Mine needed some "work".
If what you had was a nerve velosity test, did they say all is well?
Meme must be laying low, I didn't see any posts from her. But playing with the lap top doesn't take me to usual bookmarks.

syonora:chow: toodle de do;
tootie in the city

Well...I was gone part of the weekend. Went to Nashville and did my "hotel shop" Friday night. Came back last night. I'm so stressed out that I'm literally sick. Sick to my stomach. Throwing up and diarrhea, etc. Can't sleep and eat eat eating. I've LOST 2 1/2 years work...about 400+ pages...on the internet. All my devotions, all my bible study pages, all my background pages, friendship pages and all my midi files are GONE WITH THE WIND. The Go Network, where I had everything, stopped hosting personal pages. They didn't warn me or anything. Just deleted all my stuff without telling me they were going to. So...finding out all that has made me sick...and that is why I haven't been posting anything. Even if I tried, I'll never be able to get everything back like it was. I'm not sure I even want to try!

Meme, this has been the week of disasters. You with your website and Ally with her son. How terrible for both of you. All that work!!! Had you gotten any of it moved over to your new website? I know you are stressed but try to relax. You know what the stress is doing to you! You can't do anything about it now, but you can, and I think you will, start over again - because it interests you a great deal.

I suppose you didn't really enjoy the hotel survey much because of all this. Bummer!

oh, yes, and Meme, eat lettuce

Ally, how is your son doing now? As Phyllis asked, will the steel rod come out eventually, or is it permanent? See, now, driving a car may not have been as dangerous! (At the risk of you jumping through the computer and strangling me)

Candice - How are you doing? Size 10-12. I was there only 6 short years ago. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Phyllis - keep having fun. Talk to you when you return.

Ally...sorry about your son...I would be so stressed!!!! Know what youmean about taking care of him and being like a man...my son was in the hospital with kidney stones at 14 and I had to help him with the urinal and at age 19 he had sinus surgery and I was helping him in the hospital then too! They will always be our babies though!!!

MeMe.....calm down...I know, I know..I would be freaking out just like you! But Anne is right ya know! Wonder why they didn't give you notice?????????

Tootie..sounds like you are having a good time....my test was on the muscles and nerves and I don't have the results but the doc doing it kept saying everything looks normal. I'm sure it well be..just an inflammed joint causing the pain(if I could smoke a joint I would be feelin' real good!! (supposed to help Fibro Pain)

Anne..love the blue hair and red shoes! You find the cutiest graphics! You always have good advice for us but is hard to take sometimes......I'm just a natural born worrier and that page on worry you sent I couldn't get it to come up.

Well...I was feeling so good Saturday that my son came up to help me with some outside yard work(prunning our honeysuckles that the snowplow just about ruined dumping all that snow on them!) that I over did and was so totaly pooped and in pain that I sat in my recliner the whole evening and feel asleep! We worked for 3 hours straight! Whew glad that's done...now we have to redo a flower bed that the plow messed up...I just redid it last year so it wouldn't be any work this year..all I had to do was plant some annuals and that would be it! Now we have to replace the whole thing! Of course I over did my arm too and it is hurting again so I'll have to let it rest a few days I guess. Still didn't get my pansies potted and that is what I like to do and can do it on my own so when my son comes to help, we tackle the big stuff that I can't do alone! He moves kind of slow and lets me do too much but I am gratefull for any help I can get!

Gonna rain some more....I need to clean inside some too!

Oh Meme...I know how important all that work was and I feel bad for you.
My son's steel rod might never have to come out...for his sake I hope not as I imagine that might be painful. I just had the old beloved here and walked out with my other son to let him drive my car. Eeeeeek. Either I have a kid on a bike, or in a car and this is just too nerve racking. When I got home, my son and his father were in a terrible little tiff. My son has no tolerance right now. I try to leave him be and keep the conversing to a minimum. His father is one of those people who can't let there be a moment of silence even if he is repeating something he has told you a million times. He just walked out if a huff.
Tootie....is it hot where you are? 85 degrees here today. And it snowed last week.
Candice....Yeah, I have even wiped my son's butt a few times in the last few days. Not as cute as it used to be.
Happy... I ordered another pair of these baggy pants from LL Bean.... At least I feel thin,
