Good evening friends...
I was planning to stop talking bad news so much, & post uplifting messages, for a change. Please don't think these are lies. I'm not going to blame anyone for getting suspicious. I hardly even believe it myself. But, I AM going to vent one more time. Seems like I have to get the frustration out somewhere. I can't believe so much is going on, & wondering what I've done?! Our beautiful horse, Molly, that belonged to all of our grandchildren, got out of the pasture yesterday morning & was struck by a truck, going very fast. A police officer woke us up knocking on the door. Both of her back legs were cut off, & numerous other injuries. She was still very much alive & suffering. My DH couldn't bare to shoot her, so our DS (bless his heart) did it, to spare his dad. He came into the house trying to hide his tears from me. The driver didn't even apologize. He just drove off as soon as the officer said he could. He told the officer that Molly & Milly (Molly's filly) ran out in front of him. Well, Molly had arthritis pretty bad, & no longer RAN anywhere. She wouldn't have gotten out if her filly wasn't out. She was just a pet. She was also going to have another baby in a couple of months. I had to go on to get my treatment. My daughter, Trina, took me. We stopped to get our nails done, & going out of the parking lot of Wal-Mart, she pulled out in front of a car! She said she didn't see it behind a van. They missed each other, but with him trying to miss us, he hit a pole & tore his car up! No one was hurt, & thank the Lord, he was very kind. I'm glad my daughter has good insurance. Well, that made me 30 minutes late for my treatment. My blood pressure was 150/100.....but, don't know if it's from the day, or if it would be anyway. It's been running high. The Dr told me if I didn't stop being stressed so much, I was going to be in real trouble. Well.............HOW DO I DO THAT???? :^: Anyway, he's sending me to my Neurologist to have some tests run on my thumb. He disagrees with my other Dr's diagnoses. (so do I) We just don't think it's a viral infection. He thinks it's nerve, or blood vessel problems. He said I may have Raynaud's Disease. At least, for now, I'm off steroids. Maybe I'll lose a little of this mess I've put on. Hi Joanne...I'm glad Eleni is doing well. How are you? I hope you're fully recovered, now. Don't overdo the walking. What are the tempts there? We're mostly in the teens & low twenties, with high winds. We should get snow by Thursday or Friday. I hope so. Hi ageoldie....sometimes, if we stop a diet for a few days, & start again, it kind of "kick starts" the loss. At least, it worked for me when I lost mine. I'm finally off steroids, so maybe I can start losing mine, again. Hello to everyone. I'm sooooo tired. Maybe I'll feel the Remicade kick in soon. :) Have a good evening. |
Charlotte-
I am so sorry. I'm a big animal lover and I just feel sick to my stomach thinking about poor Molly. How horrible for you. I don't think I could have done what your son did. I can't stand to see an animal in pain. I always wanted to be a vet when I was little, but then I saw some animals in terrible pain and nixed that whole idea out of my head. It takes a strong person to do what your son did for your husband...and alot of love. This December is sure laying alot on your plate. I wish I could take some of it for you. Well I'm glad everyone was okay with the accident too. And darn that thumb... I'm doing okay. I've been exercising more which makes me feel better all the way around. With the exception of my hand AGAIN, I don't have much in the line of aches or swelling. I haven't even taken my Bextra for a week now. I've only taken 1 in the las 2 weeks. Hope the rest of you are doing fine? Hoping you all have a Merry Christmas. I still have to wrap, wrap, wrap. Might have to enlist the help of my little ones for that..with the exception of their own presents. ~chris |

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. Charlotte, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that this terrible accident happened. That poor horse. Thank goodness your son was able to put her out of her misery. I am surprised the police didn't do it. You have had nothing but bad luck the past while. All these trouble just build up and up. I am sure you will not be sorry to 2004 leave! I hope your meds have kicked in now and you are starting to feel better. Chris - Good for you with your exercising. I am going to try it again and hope it doesn't lay me up for 8 weeks again. I hope the little ones helped you out with the wrapping. It seems that it would be just up their alley. Barb - It takes me FOREVER to lose a darn pound. I am sick to death of it. I try and try and try, and nothing moves. I will try ATKINS after Christmas is over and I can be home again. No sense starting this when out visiting. |
Hey There
[COLOR=DarkRed]MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY[/COLOR
I am so sorry about your horse Angel..So much seems to be happening right now at Christmas.. I can only hope that all of us has a good holiday.. It is close to 70 here in Florida,right now.. It is supposed to get cooler this weekend. We were supposed to have rain. So far in my area hardly a sprinkle. I will be baking and getting my christmas foods ready to cook.. I will be busy as I know you all will be.. Bye for now...Joanne |
Hello friends... We had our family gathering last night. All of our kids & grands were together for the first time in several years. It went great. I made potato soup, & ham for sandwiches. Crockpot candy, cakes & pies...& my daughter brought her famous pecan pie. I made a pic...so soon as I get it downsized, I'll post it, for you to see my beautiful family. I'm feeling much better. That did me a lot of good! We go to DH's parent's house tonight. She's a great cook! The house is always so crowded, we can hardly move around. :D Well, I sure hope I can lose my weight I put on with all the steroids. Hopefully, my Neurologist won't put me back on them. Thank you all for the kind words...I'm feeling better about everything. It helps to vent. Joanne...it's hard to imagine 70 degrees right now! We're having temps in the low teens. Had a dusting of snow yesterday morning, & continued all day. It just didn't lay. Happy Canuk... I am feeling better, now. My family coming last night did wonders for me. I guess it's the "magic" of Christmas. :D Chrily.... I hope your hand gets much better, soon. I haven't heard much about Bextra, but I hope it works for you. Hello to everyone....I've got to get ready for work. Hope you all have a good Christmas Eve. |
Hi
Thinking of you all ~ hope you have a nice Christmas Eve and Christmas day! Take care :sman: |
Hi ladies...
Just wanted wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS between our running around. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Talk to you soon. ~chris |
Merry Christmas to all of you! Have a beautiful.....pain-free...day!! |
I hope everyone had a great holiday. We did, but honestly, I'm glad it over. We had our kids and my SIL and her family here last night. We just did snacky type foods, so I didn't have to spend the days cooking. Today we went to my Mom's. Well, If getting off your diet for a few days and starting again really do jump start you, I'll be off to a great start on the 1st. (cause I've surely been off it) Glynne, I haven't forgotten the water aerobics sites, just haven't done it. Charlotte, so sorry about your horse, and all the other problems you are facing right now. Joanne, Anne, and anyone else lurking, hope you have a really good week next week, and that 2005 will be a great year!!! http://home.ripway.com/2004-11/20039...earfloatie.gif |

Hey There
Hello Everybody- I hope everyone is rested up from Christmas.. I got one gift I could have done without.. A nasty cold..So I will just say I hope you all have a Great New Year..Stay safe...Joanne

Joanne I hope you get better real soon! Hi Rita....thanks for the kind words. We'll miss Molly. Hope you're feeling well, today. ageoldie...I'm glad the holidays are over, too. Seems they go as fast as they come! The picture albums were a success! I hardly know what to do with myself, now that I don't have to work on them. :lol: Hi Chrily, & Glynne, & Happy Canuk.......hope you all feel well. My Dr sent me to my Neurologist for testing on my thumb. I go Thursday. It's still not any better. Going to put in a pic of my family. All my kids & grands were here at the same time!! |
That is such a nice picture of your family Charlotte. It is really neat that you all could get together like that.
Hello to everyone else. Hope you all are doing well. |
Hello all...
Joanne-Looks like we got the same gift. I have a real nasty cold. My head is sooo plugged up and feels like its going to explode. I'm kind of wondering if its not a sinus infection. Charlotte-You have one large family. HOly cow! How many children do you have? I thought my family was fairly large but I think you're is definitely bigger. Okay maybe not...I just counted the heads again. I'm 1 of 5 children, and between all of us there is 10 grandchildren for my mom to love. Barb-Sounds like you had a great Christmas! Rita-You slept through Christmas? Did I read that right? My Christmas was great. I was busy complaining about having to visit family through Christmas Eve until I had one of those "ah ha" moments (that's what the Pastor of our church calls them) and realized I should feel lucky because there is soo many people out there who have no one. The kids made a haul, as usual. Now I have toys, toys, everywhere. My dh was nice to me and got me some Elmo jammies, the Garfield Movie, a scrapbooking CD, and a new scale. My mom, bless her heart, got me the book A Purpose-Driven Life and the Life Journal that goes with it. I started my 40 day journey to find God's purpose for my life today. I'm excited to see what the next 39 days bring. I'll go now before this turns into a book. I guess now I should say HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!! ~CHRIS |
Chris,
I had an ah ha moment as you call it about about family at Christmas. My husband and kids and grandson were all in Houston, and I got left behind because I could not get time off from work. I spent a lot of time being quite unhappy about that, until I got an e-mail from a former coworker. She said Christmas would be hard for her family this year ~ her husband had passed away in November. Then I remembered that another friend had also lost her husband this year. My ah ah was that ~ though I may not have been able to be with my family at the holidays, at least my people were alive and I would get to see them again sometime. I felt bad for my friends, and realized that I had a lot to be thankful for after all. |
