I see the surgeon tomorrow -- have no idea if she is going to send me back to work Monday, or start physical therapy, or order another EMG test, or what. I'm scared and anxious. I started a chronic pain management class this week -- there are 6 sessions, and it's about dealing with and accepting chronic pain, meditation, stuff like that. I like the teacher -- I hope it helps. 
I hope the doctor has some kind of relief for you when you see them tomorrow. I will be thinking of you. Just make sure you pop in and let us know what happens ok?
Don't worry....you won't drown in mist.
: are coming your way today. I hope the doc has some good news for you. Don't worry about typos, ok? We'd rather you spare your arm and hand. I had no idea there were such programs as chronic pain management classes, and think that's a great idea! Glad you have a nice teacher. My SIL could use these for his chronic neck pain. The docs have said he'll have that all of his life. 
Hello Everyone. 
Have fun this weekend with your sweetie in Palm Springs, and enjoy your visit with the pastor and his wife. They sound like very nice people. So I do have her this weekend. She was reading over my shoulder reading about "TOM" and wanted to know what it meant. She then told me "Oh....I call it the 'Little red dot' "! 
Cute eh?
for the much needed prayers. I think Iraq is going to be the death of me! Hey, you and Neal wanna come on over and do my windows? Puhleeeeease 
I don't like getting on a ladder so the outside windows have suffered a little. They actually aren't too bad though for not being washed since we have been here. When it rains it gets them pretty good so I don't worry about them. The retreat sounds very spiritual. I didn't know that Oxyclean for carpets...I'll have to check it out when I run out of this stuff. Know what ya mean about the beige carpet. We bought this house after everything was done so didn't have a say in the carpet color and other things. I sure would not have gone with the beige. And most people think it is the dog but it's not...it's the guys in this house that make the messes, ugh! LOL
Then I had to 'fess up that they've already been, but that I don't leave them posted long. So she said she'd think about. How long before he'll be able to check in again? Hope it isn't too long. I bet your carpet cleaner from Stanley Steamer is better or at least as good as the stuff I buy. But the Oxyclean for carpets does get the job done. Neal is the worst culprit I have around here, too, not the dog. Even the DGDs aren't as hard on the carpet as he is. Why are you getting new doorknobs? Btw, I like the monkey avatar better, too. So, I sat down today, meditated and tried to come up with a plan of action. I wrote out 6 small meals or snacks for tomorrow that I think I can live with. The evening snack is either sweet (fig bars or fudgesicle) or salty (cheese crackers) depending on what I am craving then. That way I won't have to say NO when the munchies hit. This plan can be altered a bit each day for the week. I told DH what I am going to do and told him I would appreciate if he cooperates. LOL He always says he will and then comes in and says he wants to go for pizza or a milk shake. Of course, I run and grab my shoes and say "let's go." So this time I told him that I am doing this for ONE week, just to see if I can. At the end of the week I will re-evaluate and come up with a plan for the next week. I also did WATP today and feel pretty good...so "fingers crossed" that I find what works for me.
