INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

thank you. I told my mom about you yesterday and u know what? first she was like really? How did you find her? then that was it... a few hours later I caught her just starring into space and I asked her what she was thinking about... and she said "that im gonna give it my best shot. That I can do this."...IT WAS THE BEST THING IVE HEARD FROM HER IN A LONG WHILE!!!! thanks again!!!!

thank you. I will ask the doctors in the morning.

Yay!!!  we're both here at the same time!!!!!!

Almost 4.30pm (I think) at Chrissy's, nearly 7pm here.

Thread tag was great when I was first dx as there was someone around when I was unable to sleep. Had such a great chemo group.

You got it Alyson, right on the knocker!!!    4.30pm.

Nancy I've got hours to go yet......so chat away until the freight train arrives.....lol!!!

I hate that!!!  I often find that all the programs are all repeats that I've already seen a gazillion times before....ugh!   Thank god for DVD's!

Bathroom break...BRB

I know the feeling......usually when I get home from the city there is a pile waiting for me.  I have shown DH how to use the washer and dryer but some how he seems to 'forget'  how to do it when I'm away!

Nancy, I did and do pilates when I'm able.  I found yoga too harsh for me but I know there are a lot of people who swear by it.  Pilates is very good but the secret is in the breathing.

I haven't been to a class for years but I did go for about a year when I first started....that was after my first Dx.  I still do the exercises that I remember and I have a DD who is a personal trainer so she checks what I'm doing periodically.

Where I live, I don't think there is a gym!   The population is only 1500 so not that big.

No.  It is called a bed but is far from it.  The base slides and has ajustable tension springs, there is a bar at one end that allows you to postition your feet for certain exercises and there are pulleys that allow you to use your own body weight as a loading.  It's not that big but quite expensive....way out of my budget unfortunately.

My DD is usually in bed and asleep by 9.00pm and she is up most days a 4.30am for her  first appointment at 5.00am  and the day goes on from there.  She does take enough time to eat well between clients though but she is gorgeous.   I'll post a pic .
