I give my husband so much credit to even be saying that he wants to continue with our plans

Robbin,

I think that it's wonderful that your husband wants to go on with your plans. It sounds to me as if he is going to refuse to let this get the better of him and that'll he'll fight as hard as he can to have as normal a life as possible. That is so important. We all try on a daily basis to remember we've got to keep fighting. Another child may give him that much more incentive...

Hugs,

Jo

Faye, thank you so much for your uplifting letter. It really hit the

spot. My nephew is adopted also. And thanks to all of you for your

welcome to this board. I have said it on other boards and will say

it here, where in the heck would we be if it were 25 years earlier

without email? This is such a great tool.

Yes, Faye, I agree if this child were in my belly right now, there

would be no doubt about whether it would be coming out or not. It's

just scary, like you said, not knowing what is in the future. I

know, none of us know what the future holds, but it is just

unceratinty.

I give my husband so much credit to even be saying that he wants to

continue with our plans. He has been the catalyst all along.

All of your words of encouragement really mean alot to me. and i

know that we will have lots of support here. Thanks for being here.

I only hope that I can help someone in turn.

Thanks again,

Robbin

Well Faye,

If I ever need some legal advice from a

layman, I will know who to ask!

Hang in there – at least you’re

not bored!! :OP

Have a good weekend!

Faye,

I am going to hold you personally

responsible if I get fired for spending all my time reading RSD board emails.

You make me laugh!

Stop being so darned entertaining! I must

work, I simply must!!

>Hi Jo - Thank you for replying

to my question...I am feeling better after reading it - I can't recall doing

anything to hurt it, but I know it doesn't take much to send it hurting

either. Must have been a night of wild nooky, I'm just going have to

demand that from now on I get woke up first .

>OR maybe something like a

giant Pampers for the bed - that wicks away sweat and keeps you and your

nice bottom dry? I know I'm a veritable goldmine of fairly useless, highly

comical, quasi medical 'laka-genius' ideas....but if I didn't think this crap

up - who else would?

[Guest guest]

I’m so sorry that you’re in

more pain. It gets so frustrating when you try to do everything right and end

up in more pain. I hope it’s a flare up and that it passes instead of

settling in for the ride.

I can’t believe your doc didn’t send over the referral. Do you

know, that’s happened to me so many times now that I consider it part of

my regular new doctor protocol, to call a day or two before my appt to confirm

they’ve received the required referral. I’d say 80% of the time, it

isn’t there. I am so glad that now I have a new insurance plan through

work that no longer requires referrals, as long as the doc is an approved one. How

lucky you were that he wasn’t just a doctor, but also a HUMAN, and talked

to you anyway. We need more of those, please! And that’s great that he

gave you his email address. So at least all was not lost.

Poor Andy…he is not alone. I spent

yesterday lying on my face, whining internally and wishing my cold would hurry

up and jump to the next person. (nothing against this ‘next person’

but I want it out of me!) At least I still have my appetite, though I

discovered at lunchtime that we hadn’t done our food shopping yet, and

there was nothing to eat but more Cheerios! Ugh. That and a vitamin pill was my

meal for the day till Greg came home with something for dinner. (Oh, I’ve

lied – I did find an apple too.)

Ok. Really must stop here. Feel better, and

I say Yes, get a laptop if that will help!

Later,

Aly

Alyson

Oh Aly - I missed you too!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your so kind

words - sorry to hear that your sick - glad to know you're at least getting

paid to let me know that though hehe. Hope that you are feeling

better quick.

[Guest guest]

Happy Monday, Miss Faye!

> Tipsy McStagger's – I love it!! Is it a reference to Andy – or you? ) What a fabulous name! And a comfy chair for me, right by the fireplace (heaven!), and even a place to prop up my feet! And food! And someone to bring me drinks! (Can one have drinks, on Neurontin? I’ve been wondering that.) Oh, it sounds just wonderful Faye ). An RSD-friendly bar, what could be better. And what of the roving masseuse, will he be there too? ;o) It’s all very exciting. I can hardly wait!

> better than my mashed - I'll make you my double stuffed, they go really well with my baby back ribs, and Andys bbq steaks

Oooh, how is it you’ve managed to make me hungry for it already?? It’s only 10 a.m.!

Now, I admit you will have to jog my memory about this band April Wine. It definitely rings a bell, but I can’t quite place it. A Canadian band, right? I have the most terrible memory (and always have! Not RSD or Rx-related…) I haven’t lived in Canada since I was 21, so I have lost touch with all things Cdn, I’m afraid…

RE: to Aly -

Ok Aly - I've been bound to secrecy about the name of the bar by Andy - but he also knows that " it's burning a hole in my tongue " too - so he said I could only tell you guys - but on the promise not to breathe a word of it to anybody else, not me... or not any of you guys either... so " Tipsy McStagger's " We have designed the bar part - as well as the stained glass lighted sign to hang above the bar part. That will be all dark cherry with an oak top - thick for banging glasses at last call - when ever that is. So far we have the room done to insulation and vapour barrier - and got rid of half the stuff filling the room. That was the hardest part - it was all my stuff down there. And the camping stuff, which Andy fit under the stairs. Nothing has happened in the past two weeks since Andy has taken a week of overtime, even the weekend - and about 9 days down on the couch after work with the cold/flu. Then there was the " weekend road trip " - which, well - lets just say - it's a lot harder to go out on the road with a band now than it used to be - but April Wine really rocked still, after 35 years on the road. Next they are going out on the road with Deep Purple. The " road trip " bit another week into the project, 3 days out and 4 days to recouperate..... Mark thought that was a pretty quick recovery. I want to take Mark out for a road trip - I show him how hard it is to recover again!!!!!

However - things will get back on track in the basement nightclub this weekend... maybe a little later than early morning, just found out one of my fave bands is playing at the bar tonight - at least for me it's a pretty good day so far. And - you know Aly, I've already got a special spot picked out for you right near the fireplace in a nice comfy chair down in the " bar " .... between the big screen tv - and the stage - and of course a place to put your feet up. Don't worry, I'll be sitting in the chair next to you, waiting on the " waiter " .

better than my mashed - I'll make you my double stuffed, they go really well with my baby back ribs, and Andys bbq steaks. Come on out - the spoiling of a lifetime awaites you!!!!! Might want to bring a big big suit case - might not want to go back.

Love you my friend, Faye
