Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Dorothy, Honey, I am so glad you are feeling better. Don't worry about writing to me individually, just know I am glad to read your posts and keep up with you that way. I am feeling a bit better today, and got some things done around here. That is a first in about three weeks. Tyler may be just saying he forgets to get you to stop asking questions he isn't interested in answering. I know that is what my boys will do when they think I am just being nosy. LOL You take care, and keep up the good work. Loving hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 I just wanted to let everyone know that I am feeling somewhat better. I had gone to the Dr. last week back hurt to the point of being in tears near my kidneys and it hurt to stand. She gave me 3 different meds and after not being on the 1 for 1 day I could feel a difference (not for the good either) then a local grocery store had cranberry juice buy 1 get 1 free so I got 2 1 white and a cranraspberry and the white one is awesome. Like it much better then the cranraspberry. She also told me to take one Lortab 7.5 at night and it has helped a lot. I am not waking up to the throbbing pain that I was waking up to after only 2-3 hours of sleep. Have to go back Monday and then on the 20th of next month the rheumy. I will be glad to get back on the right course of meds that it is not funny. Then Tyler is on a tee ball team and with games pictures etc. There is not a whole lot of time for much else. We are also doing a lot of OT and last Friday our supervisor told us that they are going to get in a temp to help with the work overload and I am still waiting for this person to show up. I am thinking that they are not much concerned as they do not even have a desk for her yet. So he said that this week we would not have to do OT. Yeah Right. Monday one girl was out her brakes went on her truck and Sat. she took it to be fixed and the mechanic who was working on her truck was taken out of there in handcuffs by the local police and turned over to the State Police. Then on her way home her ABS light came on and on Sunday her brother got under the truck and he told her the bearing had literally exploded. This fool who worked on her brakes Sat forget to hook something back up that caused the bearing to blow up like that. So needless to say she did not have a way to work and then on Tuesday one girl has a child who will be 3 in Aug and is very sickly. She has the flu and had a bad asthma attack on Mon night so she did not come in on Tues. then another lady who has been having problems with her hubby went home to find him passed out on the bathroom floor with and empty Tequilla bottle and a bottle of 10 mg of valium that he stole from his mother. So she takes him to the ER and all and they did absolutely nothing for him other than to hook up and IV for fluids and he moved and the IV came out and blood was gushing all over the place and she is screaming for a nurse and no one came so she took him on home and got there at 5:30 AM and so she stayed home with him --then Thursday one had to leave 3 hours early for a Dr appt so Tuesday they decided back on OT. I am wore out as I am doing 9.75 hours a day then home to cook for Tyler and get clothes ready for the next day etc. I will be glad when this temp person does come in. We are off for Memorial Day on the 26th so that Sat before I am going to take Tyler to Great Escape in Lake --got a seasons pass and plan to use it a lot plus it is good at all of the Six Flags parks also and they have one in Holyoke MA so I am going to try that park out too at least once. Both are about the same in time to get there. Well going to go for now hope every one is doing OK and I sure do hope that hears something from Mike on how Deanna is doing. CarlaSue you take care of yourself and How is a doing with all those lovely kids of hers?MM I am not ignoring you just so tired and sore and busy with Tyler too. He is still going to the counselor and the psychiatrist upped the Adderal and he seems to be doing a little better. He only has 5 1/2 weeks of school left this year. Where did the time go? It seems like he just started school here only a couple of months ago? He is doing really good in school and he loves it. He loves to read but lately when I ask him what the book was about he will tell me that he does not remember. I also try to make it a habit to ask him what he did in school and he tells me the same thing. Not sure what is going on here because he usually tells me what the book was about and what he did in school. Well take care LOLDorothy ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vicious circle...thats what it is. Damn circle...heheh Orion -- Re: Fwd: Hello all Tried Neurontin....it didn't do anything for me.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 You know? I have some Morphine pills that my Father In Law had hidden for me. He knew that when he died, that Hospice would throw all of his meds away.....so, before he got bedridden at the end, he made sure he hid a full bottle and only told Gene where they was, so that I could have them if I really needed them. In a way, he's still watching out for me from beyond....lol, that, and saving Gene the headache of having to sit in the ER for 2-5 hours with me during a flare.....or, in case the roads are bad like tonite or last night and we can't go no where cause of the weather. My FIL was the only one who actually did try to understand my pain....but, considering he was dying from Liver and Lung Cancer before he got that Cured 2 months before he did die.....and then died because his Lungs and Heart gave up due to the fact that they was over stressed and over worked from having Pnemonia 3 times in those last 2 months. His Death Certificate said cause of Death was Pnemonia. I sure miss him.....at least he told his daughter off, and told her to leave me alone when I was in a flare up.....and, no matter how bad he felt, he told my MIL to come and get the kids since I couldn't even get up to get Petey out of his crib....cause he wanted the kids around him, especially Petey. It sucks. The only ones that understands are the ones who aren't going to be around much longer. But, I do agree....I can take one Morphine Pill, and I'm asleep for a good 18 hours!!! (but, with my 3 kids....that sleep is lovely, blissful, and quiet!!!!) Tonia -------Original Message------- Tried Neurontin....it didn't do anything for me.
