Re: Getting tired of others!

[Guest guest]

At least you can squat, when I do there is a big case of falling over now, my balance is gone. And every day I have to care for a flock of budgies and cockatiels, not to mention the big gang of Rats and mice and dogs and cats I own...Man it is a several hour a day duty to care for my little ark. But they keep me going.

And when I did nap this afternoon I had five little dogs curled up on my body. Sometimes a good thing sometimes a bad thing. There have been days when I wake and can't get out of bed because the dog won't move. I literally roll out of bed. For me any side of the bed is the wrong side....Debi Merritt wrote:

DebiI'm sorry you're feeling so badly today, and hope you start feeling better. I don't know how I felt today, because I slept until 6:40 tonight! I looked at the clock when I woke and figured it was still early morning, then I heard the tv set, which I KNEW I'd turned off before gong to bed. When I realized it was pm, not am, I felt like I'd been cheated of a day. Now that I'm up, though, I'm glad I slept all day. My legs ache constantly & are especially bad today. Then I came out to join my hubby and Polly (the budgie) started calling me. She insists that I squat in front of her cage and chirp along with her. She thinks I'm her baby. I finally had to cover her because she wouldn't shut up! I'm trying to teach her real words, but since I've shown her I can imitate her, she insists in conducting all her conversations in budgie-speak. Lord only knows what I'm

saying to her! She does understand at least some of the words we say to her, even if she doesn't repeat them. If I say "bell" she starts yanking on her bell. She is really cute with that thing, and jerks it around for all she's worth! She also understands "eat" and "night night", and we don't dare say her name or the word "budgie" because that really gets her going! It's really bad when you have to spell words out in front of your parakeet, lol!cynAt 05:00 PM 10/16/2004 -0700, Deborah Younce wrote:

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

There he goes again!

BTW, AOL filters your email( I also have an AOL addy) but when I

report spammers, no feedback at all from them. I am sure they are

overwhelmed in dealing with these jerks, but don't expect much if you

report him.

True. What is worse is when they tend to minimize it.

They say that they are tired and they get through it,

why can't we, or that they are more tired than us

because they had to work all day or something along

those lines and it was harder for them and we

shouldn't complain.....

I went with a couple of friends to a dedication of a

new church a while back and while there I was

explaining to them about the flood in the apartment

and that mom was worried we would be evicted with no

place to go or have to pay bundles of money to the

complex. One of my friends pipped up (she is in a

reniscence reinactment group) that at least no one is

trying to marry me off, like her " kingdom " was doing

to her character.

I could have spit nails! How the He$$ does that

compare to a REAL life problem? My other friend just

about punched her for saying that and thinking that it

was worse than the possibilty of my family being

thrown out on the street.

Luckily, it seems that everything will be fine for the

moment. But we doubt we will get the new apartment

(with less steps) now and we doubt that they will want

us to re-up our lease when it is done.....

Sorry. I meant to comfort you in your rant and ended

up ranting myself. I didn't mean to. I do feel for you

and hope you have fun singing!

LOL! I actually don't squat, I sit on a cardboard box

in front of her cage. Like you, I cannot keep my balance. My husband

teases me about it (his favorite one is calling me drunk) which I don't

really appreciate. So one day he was walking thru the living room and

tripped over something and fell, and I asked him if he was trying to be

like me now. He got really offended by that, and now shows a little more

sympathy when I fall over. It has become a habit for him to reach out and

hold my arm when I stand up. He is so worried that I'm going to die (I'm

12 years older than he is) and I keep telling him that I'm probably

healthier than he is, an the women in my family tend to live to be over

100!

One good thing about having snakes for pets is that they don't get in the

bed, lol! One morning I woke up sobbing because I'd dreamed I accidently

killed one of my snakes, and immediately went and got the snake

and let me hold him until I felt better. We have one python in particular

that gives really good massages (all the pythons do, but Mickey is the

largest and we have a great bond), and will have me lie down on

my stomach and put the snake on my back. The nice thing about snakes is

that they don't get tired, or complain about it. And they seem to know

where I'm hurting and will head right for the exact spot and start

bunching their muscles and working out the tenseness and pain. I know it

sounds weird, but it's true!

That is such a sad thought. I don't know how many years I

actually have had fibro....I didn't realize how much pain I was in until

I started taking Neurontin and stopped getting so many migraines. The

Neurontin also helped with the fibro pain. I didn't realize how much it

was helping until I ran out and had to go a day without any. Within a few

hours I thought I was getting the flu! Then I got my Neurontin refilled

and thought " what a great cure for the flu! " . I had heard of

fibro, didn't even know what it was until my pdoc suggested that I had

it.
