Hello all. My daughter has not given me details but, still no heat in the car. Did a little more clean up out in the garden, till my hands got too cold again. Cut the New England False Grape off the...
Trina, I had actually told Lisa I could shop on my own on Sunday, so we could just stay home and 'veg'. She got upset! Said she needs to do 'normal' things...which includes our weekly shopping...
I had to have acromioplasty on both shoulders, following injuries and diagnosis of impingement syndrome. They tried arthroscopic first, but eventually had to go back in on each and do the open...
Hello all. Well, we got the car, daughter and friend put in the power steering pump. Discovered it has no heat! She drove it home anyway. Took it to the shop yesterday and they said it would be under...
Buena, owie!! Hope you're feeling better quickly! I got knocked down by my daughter's dog (he's mine now) at the dog park and ended up with a grade 5 separation of the shoulder! Good thing we were...
Trina, I really like that idea of making just 'part' of a day out. When I go with my daughter to her appointments an hour away (longer for her now that she's moved), we usually stop at the diner on...
Joyce...she is so missed! We got another 8.5 inches of snow dumped on us when they were forecasting 4-6. Reminds me of the old joke...What do a snowstorm and a new boyfriend have in common? Don't...
Hi Goldengirl, While I don't have anything 'complicated' I have been very frustrated lately. I changed insurance so I could get dentures...but also had to leave the doctor I'd been seeing for years...
Just came in from playing with the dogs. Had to climb into one of the flower beds that collected several over the summer and got to see that the crocus foliage is coming up! I just love looking for...
First, I had a 'nextdoor' account but there were password problems, so I don't use it anymore. I know tow companies, just don't know if they'll tow it before it's registered to me. Second, Lisa and I...
Hello all. Had a coating of ice yesterday/last night...dogs have a skating rink instead of a run today. Daughter has my truck for a little while...motor vehicle offices are 'by appointment only' and...
Do you have any family member or friends that could look for you? Maybe go to a library and create a new profile and search? Take some screen shots to use in court? A cease and desist order may be...
We've already discussed payback for the car. She'll be getting her taxes back pretty quickly and I can wait. She hasn't been working much after falling down the stairs at work, having to go to...
Direct and to the point...good job! Hope help comes soon for you!...
We got another 4.5 inches of snow. This round was wetter and heavier so I went out several times to shovel it. So much pain!!! Just another reminder that I can never return to working. Need to get my...
Welcome! Yes, I too find this forum to be very helpful...even if it's just contact every few days....
Welcome. I think you should listen to your doctor and see how it goes. Sometimes, I think larger tapers are successful at the start and when one is at a lower dose it gets a little trickier and the...
Hi all...sorry I went MIA. Had to do alot of shoveling, so pain is up. Had to do alot of emailing, too. Plowing was horrible here. 'Mom' completed her first week of chemo with few side effects, so it...
I got word last night that my ex-husband's widow (my kids step mother) passed away. We'd known each other since Kindergarten...grew up together...which in some ways made it easier for me to deal with...
Hey all. Sad day. My cat, Ominoday, gently crossed the rainbow bridge this evening....
Hi all. Love the 'pet talk'. Don't know where I'd be without my fur babies! MIL is doing pretty well...some issues from the strong antibiotics but I suggested she eat yogurt and it seems to be...
Praying you get the result you need from the hearing. Hoping it's not RA but something more easily treated....
Worked on clearing my desk today. Took some paperwork over to the bank to get notarized, then came home and put it in the mail, along with my driver's license renewal. Cleared off the shelves in the...
Her spirits are good...she's going to fight! She was having trouble getting out of her chair in the den. I suggested adding foam under the seat. Lisa had some eggcrate in the garage. Three layers of...
Just got the call. Confirmed stage IV colon cancer, metasticized to liver and lungs. MIL will follow up with oncologist about chemotherapy. If you pray...please include her and her daughters....
'Mom' has not had follow up appointment yet for the results of the biopsy and treatment plan. We're all on pins and needles. She is home and spirits are good. My son is being tested for covid...most...
Worked on my office/dressing room today. Put up some shelves and hung a couple of small mirrors to hopefully bounce more light around the room. The only window is awkwardly placed due to a previous...
My regrowing red twig dogwood is starting to fade...a bit early...but I'll take an early Spring! The lilac has redish tips, too! Nature does not lie. My jonquils (mini daffs) have sprouted new...
"Mom" is responding to the antibiotic treatment but they couldn't get the liver biopsy done yesterday...too much fluid in the abdomen after a student attempt to draw it out...will try again today and...
So, they tested the fluid drawn out of parter's Mom's belly...she had a raging infection! E.R. for I.V. meds, admitted Friday, may come home Monday or Tuesday. Still has to have biopsy for possible...
Biggie, hang in there! I'm rooting and praying for you! A few weeks ago, I jarred my right shoulder...the one literally hanging on by a thread...and it messed me up for weeks. Then, the left shoulder...
Buena...I am so sad for you! I know how much you loved Sid. HT...I am sad for you, too. I've never had luck with fish. No word yet on Lisa's Mom other than they drained 7 liters of fluid from her...
Hello all. Mom went for covid test and preadmission testing...biopsy to be done on Wednesday. Might do well to have doctor check cortisol levels...prolonged stress can mess with this hormone which...
Biggie, Happy New Year and I hope it brings the answers you seek for your pain. Love the stuffin outta that grandbaby!!...
Happy Old Year! (aka New Years Eve). Sorry to not post for a few days...was caring for a sick kitty who has made a good recovery thus far. Partner's Mom is going for a biopsy in a few days...mass...
Trust is being eroded through all of this. Can't trust the news, can't trust the officials, can't trust the neighbor. This is the element that is effecting me the most. We're supposed to trust 'the...
Hello my friends. You may be interested to know that I fixed the headlight problem in my truck today...by myself...and I feel awesome!! First, I tried replacing the fuses, but that didn't fix it. So,...
It's all very confusing, isn't it? I am 'under contract' with a pain management 'specialist'. I see her maybe once or twice a year for my 'well managed' chronic pain. However, the contract says they...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. A big help in these times! Glad things are looking up for you and yours....
Merry Christmas everyone. My daughter was 13 when I stopped drinking, so yes, she should remember. Custody of my son went to his Dad, so yeah, I think he'd remember, too. I'm trying to look at it...
Have you considered or tried Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?...
Might do well to consider physical therapy. When our routine changes our bodies respond. Working from home means perhaps a later wake up time...no commute...different chair/position...so many factors....
Checking in. Not great but not unsafe. Planned on going to my women's AA meeting last night, glad they've re started, got in the truck to head out and discovered my headlights weren't working! Sigh....
My wind chimes are letting me know that the storm is on it's way. My decorations have already survived some pretty strong winds, so I hope they stay put through this one, too. I did, however, have to...
I haven't tried it yet. I've had one discussion so far with my pain management doc about it. Failing discs and narrowing of the nerve openings is my issue. I've been using tramadol but it gives me...
Been having more productive days at least. I had used Flex Seal on the siding seam where I'd seen the water coming in when it rains, so that seam held...but the one above it was leaking with the last...
Sorry if my posts have been bringing people down. It's a tough time of year for me. Having to prove I'm 'still disabled' and 'still poor' really gets me down. Add to that the ongoing need of repairs...
Sounds like Cuboid Syndrome....
Still here, muddling through. Almost another argument today...this time over cans of soda! I've not tasted these before, so don't want a lot left here (not much room in a 10x55 mobile home). She...
Still here. I've tried several insurance companies but none of them will insure my mobile home for a variety of reasons. I've let the Mayor know because many of my neighbors are in the same...
