Yikes, Kim, take care of yourself! I hope the doc can figure out what's going on soon!

Well wishes to the rest of the sick and injured maintainers for speedy recoveries! =)

Marie, I'm certain there's plenty of snow at 4100' here as well. :) I live maybe 25' above sea level....

I have more energy today and less congestion. I went for a bike ride around noon which is good because it was nice then. Afternoon weather deteriorated and got windy, cold and overcast. It's been raining some tonight, but so far not anything near what we could use. It's been very dry this spring.

My cats have been taught to stay off of counters and tables, but I know the little devils are up there when we're not home. I don't leave any food out at all.

One of the dogs I walk got hit by a car :eek: yesterday - not out with me but with her owner. She will be ok but one of her paws is pretty badly hurt :(. I'm waiting to hear more. Poor girl, her 2nd birthday is today.

It looks like I'm going to have to go shorts shopping this weekend - I hope I'm not too late! I can't remember the last time I shopped in an actual store for clothes :dizzy: - don't think I've done that this year.

Hope everyone has gotten over their various illnesses. One of the bonuses :cp: of working outside - I hardly ever get sick!

Have a great Thursday all :D

Dagmar :sunny:

Happy Thursday! :sunny: Dagmar, I hope the dog is OK!

well i am miserable... i thought i was sooo much better last night... swelling seemed to be almost gone last night and now it is fully back and then some... and to make matters worse, i have no clue what it is and i have signficantly overeaten on sunday and again last night... not mindless binging but serious over eating (like probably 2000 cal each time)... and i am freakin out... everything hurts... all my joints, all my muscles and the swelling is just plain painful on top of it all... the drugs are not helping and i am at home today instead of vegging at work... all i want to do is eat but i know it will not help....i have to find some way to stay home today and not eat and not work out and not do too much... ah.... not good not good at all!!!!

Poor Kim! Sending you big :hug: and hoping you get some answers soon. Should you call your doctor and let him know things are worse?

thanks meg, yes that doc of mine is going to get an earful today...and i sooo want to workout! it would make me feel better... i mightdo some light stretching and abs today at home...just slow and easy...

Please let us know what you find out Kim. It sounds like you need to be at the doctors office in person so they can see how miserable you are. I always find that I get more attention in person than on the phone. This just came on all of a sudden? Weird!

started on sat... sunday was worse... i have been this way since mon full on... i did see the doc face to face on tues... i am really hoping that taking the pills she prescribed help... they called this morning and said that it could take a while for it to kick in so i am taking them again and am really hoping that does it! sooo wish i knew what is causing this! i have never felt this way before...it is just weird!!!!

i am so touched that you ladies are there to listen to me grip and complain!!! thank you for being patient with me :)

Sznn, ah, I do live in the mountains. I still think spring snow is ridiculous. However, I didn’t see any snow although the ground was wet this morning and the temp at freezing. But I didn’t see it and that’s all that matters. Unfortunately it’s still in the 7 day forecast most days.

Pat, I’m glad you’re feeling better. The bike ride was well timed as riding in the rain sounds uncomfy.

Dagmar, hugs to your client’s doggie. I’m glad she’ll be ok but what a crappy b-day.:(

Kim, :hug:you poor chickie. I hope your dr. finds out what is wrong and fast. I agree with Meg that you should call your dr. and let them know you are worse.

I guess my job is not supposed to be procrastinating so I will get to it. There’s just so much with end of year state reporting that I’m overwhelmed. Thus procrastinate makes me in worse shape so I will pull my head out of the sand and get to work.
Marie

i am sitting here... trying to figure out what i could possibly be allergic to... hmmm... have any of you ever heard about having a 'delayed' reaction to a copper iud? or an acrylic retainer ? or ??? geez...what could it be..!!! hopefully the pills will start to kick in soon!

hope alllll thurs are going amazingly for you all!

Good afternoon all...

Things are slowly getting better here. Still not a pleasant workplace for a lot of folks...

Feeling better, TOM is almost over, my head has mostly stopped hurting from where I whapped it into a computer monitor hanging on the wall on Monday during my employee interviews... (my life sometimes reads like a sitcom...)

DSS graduated from pre-k last night, his mom and I both went to the ceremony and we lived through it. :) No fireworks, mom was respectful, though didn't address me at all. I can live with that.

Kim - I'm hoping you guys figure out what is going on!

Marie - state reporting is a killer...

Dagmar - sorry about the doggie. Sad. :(

Pat - glad you got out on the bike!

:wave: to all!

Hey, all! I'm back and feeling pretty much back to normal. I strained my hip a bit at softball Tues night, but went for a light run yesterday and I think I pretty much worked it out.
I've been questionable with food, so I need to buckle down and remember how much I enjoy being healthy! ;) Have a great afternoon!

Kim~I don't know about a delayed reaction, but you can build up a problem with metals. I have a friend who developed a problem with metals over the years and now she cannot wear any metal. No jewelry at all and she claims that even the clasps on bras bother her. I don't know exactly what happens, but its uncomfortable.

thanks... i am soooo not sure but i have called the doc and she will see me on tues... between now and then, i guess i'll stay on this awful strong-benadryls and try to ignore the swelling... i am soooo doing yoga tomorrow - i dont care what they say!!! (they being the docs! ha ha ha)
