dune, you are right. this sucks. trying to do anything one handed is a royal pain. see the ortho on tuesaday and find out about surgury,
-
Oops posted this by mistake on OMG they found cure for stupid, they like me there too but the thread is more about stupid stuff others do and drives one insane enough to whatever. Well this could qualify since Hubby was involved..... but he knows what I think of his driving....
Granddaughter's bd is today, she spent night, we were up at 5am for breakie out and dog beach at state park so we could torture Newfie who will not swim. Then picked out her cake and My Little Pony unicorn decorations, the kind with pink and blue hair, 'real hair' ucky that gets in cake unless upbrushed and did it up right. Except I had it on console between Hubby and self, putting stuff on as she instructed from backseat (were were in time crunch since I forgot my phone at beach) and Hubby pretty much you see it coming, slammed on brakes w/o telling me LAWNMOWER IN THE ROAD and I was licking icing off my hands for three minutes. She goes, thanks okay Grandma, she is so sweet.
Dunes, at one point I had more friends --- neighbors, relatives, do stuff with friends kind of friends. But I think sometimes we have to find out who the real one is and WHY, which is hard to take. For me, 32 years ago when there was no one, Hubby just walked into my life and was a real friend and I had to look at him and decide why he was being a friend, but I liked what I found. Hubby, imperfect, sobeit, so am I, but he has been always there, I do not know how I got so lucky, and I know that not everyone gets a Hubby or their Hubby is at their side for as long as I have had mine, so sad to think how it would be to be alone, so many are alone. Know I would make it but sad to consider. I hope someone you don't expect comes in your life and surprises you, not saying a Hubby, but a friend one way or another, especially when you need it most. In the meantime, it would be hard to call and ask for help for specific things, I know it would be for me, especially considering they could say no, but have you? Like, "Cheryl, I need the bed changed on Thursday evening, can you, if not Friday?" Hope I am not being too helpful, but I just know for me asking for anything is the hardest thing I ever have to do. Proven.

tried to paste a pic of my beautiful black eye but alas it wouldn't. oh well you can just picture my lovely massively swollen forehead slowly working it way down. each day some other area of my face turns brilliant colors as the swelling moves. it sucks to be typing one handed. will find out about surgury on tuesday. let's hav a big pocket party. i like dark choclate and scotch, but bring what you will.
-
ptdreamers, what happened? how did you get a black eye? sorry if i missed the story.
nancy, yes, you gotta play to win but yiu gotta pay to play. winning a large sum of money sure would be sweet though.
essa, this is the last straw for me with my so-called friends. going to my mom's house after seeing the ortho. wish i had never moved to this low-class neighborhood. hell,i might not even come back.
gail, thanks for the glittery bird pic. that pufferstuff is a fighter.
can't type anymore. thanks for the good wishes. i will probably be on again tomorrow night but then that will be it for probably a couple months. sooo, y'all take care of each other. i will keep you all in my prayers.
-
DUNE, I don't know if I can make it a couple months without your daily life testimonies, you are SO sweet, I can't stand the thought of not hearing from you for a while. Have you thought about putting a pencil in your teeth? Hahahaha. And I'm REALLY sorry your house is just plain not in the right place, so could be if you rent, you can find a cheaper and much better place elsewhere after you heal up at your mom's, or if you own your house, hey, I downsized and sold mine, got some cash out of the deal, and wound up paying in full for our smaller and much better home.
I had to look up DREAMER's accident, it's under "Great Saying Depression," I do believe. Dreamer, you can tell it better than I can recall it, but in case anyone is in a hurry, she fell off the floor and onto her face and busted her wrist, I think that's right. DREAMER, we did not know about this here! I remember one time my face was all beat up and swollen from my allergy to gnats, of all things, and people in the doc office moved away from me, I guess they thought husband threw me down the stairs, that perhaps I was dangerous. Ha!
LOVESSA, I know what you mean about having someone who lives in the house with you. When I came out of the chemo treatment blur, my gosh, I was almost embarassed about how much I realized I NEEDED my husband. He's always been the "cool" one with loving expressions, I always figured he didn't really love me, and so after losing my head over this tall, dark and handsome fellow with the insanely attractive blue eyes almost 30 years ago, I took him for granted after a while. But once I went thru the washing machine of the cancer routine, wow, I felt downright ashamed, weak and little as I am, compared to him, becuz realizing you need someone so badly is quite the shock, strikes fear in the heart, causes wringing of the hands and weeping like rain.
Postscript: Husband said he wasn't going anywhere. Smile. We're both old codgers now, both got pot bellies, both graying, both in slow-mo from tore-up backs, officially seniors. It's to the point we couldn't SURVIVE without each other! Love to all, GG

Just a quick check in ... Been on vaca for the past week - escaped reality with DH to celebrate our 20th anniversary. It has been a wonderful escape! I even wore a fake ponytail and made an up do when we went out at night! Loved having my old look back - even if only for a few nights ...
Tried to catch up on here ... Thinking of and praying for you all
Vicky -
dogeyed, pretty much right. tripped on uneven road while walking with friends, face a mess, busted wrist, ortho tuesday to schedule surgery. looking but not posting much. too hard one handed.
-
MamaV. Happy anniversary... We just celebrated our 38th on the 27th...
Dunes. Will miss reading your posts while you are at your Mom's but glad there is someplace you can go to get help.. I can't imagine how hard it must be with use of only one arm.. I was shocked to see the cast you have on. Where does it end? At your shoulder!!!
Nancy hope your Dad feels better real soon...
Cindy -
omg pt! that's awful. one minute we're fine then in an instant we are other than fine. i'm waiting for the next bad thing to happen. perhaps a fall down the stairs? anyway good luck tuesday. you sure you will need surgery? i hop i don't. i go yo ortho monday and hope i get something less restrictive than what i have. mom says don't count on it.
nancy, best wishes to you and your parents. sure hope dad is ok.
-
this thread is awful today...sending prayers for each and every one of you.
gentle hugggs too.K
-
yep, hugs to everyone. stay safe.
-
-
kewl. group hug is nice. well i guess this is it for me. take care. see you in about a month. i decided i have to be home and out of the cast by the time i start school 8/28. or at least around then. how do you learn pc repair if you can't open a computer? so i'm telling the ortho how it is going down at 1:30 EST tomorrow.
nancy hope your dad was able to come home today.
-
good luck dune.
-
Oh MY
Nancy blessings and prayers to the whole family.
Dunes--tell them the ace wrap has to be done properly otherwise it could cause problems, Where it's not overlapped properly when it's taken off you are going to see wrinkled areas, left on too long in this state can lead to pressure sores------Glad you are going to your Mom's---and the birds okay
Essa have you got the black eye-----?----post brain sx in March I had a shiner below th eye, I just matched the shadow above the eye to what was below it and added a couple of other shades. Everyone thought it was a hoot. Sounds stupid, but it gave me a sense of control.
Granny your right were a mess, but we are doing it together
Fuzzy-----duh what --oh yeah ----I so wish it would have happened
okay forgot everything else I've read---will go back and see
Today I got to be 62 Yay!!!!!!! DS came home for the weekend and it wasn't till after dinner when he asked the waiter if I got a dessert for my B-day. AND it was Oh----DS said he was surprised when I was surprised that he was coming home for the weekend, he realized I'd forgotten my B-day
Gail------You are just a really nice person
PTDreamers-----okay have them order a bone density, Vita-d levels,---- Balance off----HMMMM order a physical therapy evaluation and treatment recommendations. What caused the fall? Slip and fall, or pass out and fall? Passout and fall requires a whole set of other testing---------MRI/CT of brain, EKG/ Carotid doppler,------damn I got to get another memory test, I forget already why you fell. I mostly fall on the water drips from schatzi's beard. Finally got smart and moved the water dishes onto the carpet, by the time she gets to the ceramic she's stopped dripping, --haven't fallen since------Please , google German Wiredhaired Pointer GWP----you will see the beard. Could cut the beard ,but she's oh so pretty with it. Then if you pull up the taft of hair on the top of her head she looks like a YETTI(sic?).
Crog --progress report? You were doing so well at the last one.
Special K hasn't checked in for awhile----DS is dating a new woman-------I even know her name after 2 weeks----could be serious-----this is highly, highly unusual
I'll use Fuzzy;s sign off XOXO or is it OXOX , no must be XOXO
Oh welll whom ever I missed --sorry
-
SAS. I am doing about the same.. Thanks for asking. Still doing PT. My ankle has pretty much gotten back to 90 degrees so that is a good thing. Not sure if it will ever get beyond that but we keep trying with different exercises. My foot still feels like some alien part of my body but not sure if that will get any better or not..
Nancy thanks for the congrats on anniversary.. Doesn't seem possible that it has been that many years.. Glad to hear that your Dad got to come home.....
Hope everyone has a great day..

Gads, DUNE, that is one crazy casty thing going on there! At first, with my poor vision, I thought I was looking at some sort of giant larvae creature with strange antenae coming out the top where your thumb and finger are. Maybe you can make it to a cyber cafe for coffee and a look-see at us, and library has free computers too. Way back at the turn of the millenium, before we got a computer, I'd stop at the library on the way home from work and send emails to my brother when his son had bone cancer. He wrote miles of info, but I only had 30-min "reservation" on the machine, so I had to read and type fast, printed out his stuff sometimes. If your Mom lives in the city, you can get internet thru the phone, it's extremely easy to get it, comes right thru existing phone line, no workmen... in other words they just flip a switch in Omaha or something, and it comes thru where you can clip in a phone. Cost is minimal, maybe $20 per month as part of phone bill, a little more for DSL, you could offer to your Mom to pay part of the bill for the month or so you're there. I just won't give it up, will I? Look, maybe you need a rest from the inet anyway...but I think I'd go nuts if they took my T-bird away. In case this is your last look, I just had to try to squeeze in one more hello and temporary bye to my brave and amusing friend Dune. Always, Gail

Last night I started going crazy from the pain of the TE's. Over the counter pills didn't give me any relief yesterday. I have some Oxycodone left over from surgery so I ended up taking one of those and a zanax. It almost felt like I had sandpaper inside me. The feeling went away and I slept for the whole night. I am going to bug the doctors for more oxycodones especially for bed. I still have 5 left.
(((hugs)))

Haven't been around in a while, been very busy. Now I'm back at work and have more computer time... If you'll have me, I'm back to drive the pocket bus.
Good news - I found my keys that have been missing for months. Actually, my kiddo had them hid in his little car outside. Son of a...
SAS - is today your birthday? mine too! Happy birthday!
Veggy - that drug cocktail sounds a lot like what i was taking for a while. Pain relief and sleep. What's better than that?
Nancy - I can make you a little cat sweater with pockets. Kind of like what Cinderella made her mouse friends. Good luck to SKK today.
I hope everyone is good. I missed this room.
-
Wish I haad more time to read thoroughly, but know I am thinking about all of you. Today is day 1 of a month protocol, taking it out of me in learning and peeing.
Dunes - good pick, like I said, finger bone is attached to the everything, so sorry for you, that is a bigger one than you had hoped for. I pray for new friends for you, real ones. Will MISS YOU! Darn, how about a phone w net?
Sassy - I don't have black eye, PTDreamers does. Amm okay here.
Gotta pee.

I took the painkiller! I ended up outside picking bluberries off of my bush. i got a huge bowl full of them. I love my blueberries. I forgot about the pain or maybe the painkiller kicked in.
Hugs to all!

Lauren...of course girl!! Work and life may occupy us sometimes but we are sisters and friends....and I can't drive a bus worth a shit....LOL and happy birthday!
OMG....how is SKK????? Has anyone heard? Nancy...you are such a good Mama. He tweeted me and said you are the best...hashtag rockin the Kitty world.
Big ol storm just passed over us and headed out over the lake. Stunning show.
Veggy....get those pain killers. They shouldn't even blink an eye at that. If they do, Yank me outta your pocket and I'll sock em in the lip.
I haven't Really slept in almost 3 days. Pretty fricking tired Soooo I hope tonight is the Night!! Headed to Bellaire in the early afternoon.
Nighty night ladies.
SAS....here ya go sweetie!
XOXOXXXXOOOOXXXXOOOO -
NANCY, sweet SERIAL KAT getting her teeth operated on, bless her heart. I loved the idea of LAUREN making a little kitty sweater with a pocket for her, adorable. Glad keys turned up, but guess no wallet. FUZZOLA, my gosh, dear one, I wish you many sleepies. You're too hard a rocker to go without. If you start to hallucinate or drool, stop and get some Melatonin pills at a health food store.
I was imagining what if we all lived in the same town, and some of us in the same neighborhood! Oh, my gosh, that would be sooo cool, or "kewl" as DUNE likes to say. After college, it was rare to live in such a town. When I hit 30, I got a job at the newspaper here in town, so I moved into the historic district, and that was that kind of neighborhood. A menage en trois lived next door, and one of the fellows befriended me becuz I planted grass at my doorsteps that previously was part of the shared gravel drive. He was a member of the Shakespeare in the Park, so I joined that, and after a couple years played the nurse to Juliet, so my Dad used to tell people I was a Shakespearean actress, and my mother would visit backstage and wierded out with some wild costumes I had on, she believed my various and sundry characters. And then there was our community's "Munch" dinner party group of about a dozen... it was a dreamy time, but I had many troubles in those days, so I met my husband number two and he's still with me, so when I left that neighborhood, I was okay.
Mom and I visit on the phone and in real life often, and so we'll play the game if we could go back and live forever anywhere, where would it be. She said she wanted to be a child when she lived on the top floor of an old building with her mother and grandmother, which a storm came thru one year and tore the roof clean off the house, she watched it float away. I'm not sure I'd want to go THERE. Me, I change around where I'd want to be. Sometimes I want to be 10 years old and living on a military base when Dad was with the Sixth Fleet and we lived in Europe for a while. And other times I'd like to live where I graduated university in this fine state of North Carolina, and in fact when I had the chance, Richard and I could have moved anywhere, and that was where I wanted to go, but eventually we decided jointly that here was where we'd stay. Soooooo, girls, if you could pick anywhere to live forever, if you died and could go to your fav place, where would it be?
I love all my sisters sooo much, and I reckon I'll make one of my places right here with you people, sharing woe-be-tides and daily struggles and happys. Always, Gail

Hi all - I have been MIA from this thread for a while - busy, busy!
Vaccine trial is going well, I go back to Washington, DC in a couple of weeks for the second round. Based on "read between the lines" comments from the nurse coordinator I believe that I am getting the vaccine. Also, based on how crappy I felt after the injections - like, chemo crappy! But that makes me crappy happy!
dune - sorry about the finger/hand/arm situation. If you have to go away for a while we will be here when you get back!
pt - sorry about the shiner! Sometimes it is hard to stay upright in this world!
veggy - hang in! Valium seems to be a good med for expander pain and pressure - I never tried it but the ladies of TE Trouble have and it seems to work well.
dogeyed, crog, mamav and fuzzy - my Feb '11 ladies - love you guys!
nancy - man, when it rains it pours! Hoping mom and dad are improving all the time - I know how hard this is for you - I have walked in your shoes. Sending you strength.
essa - gotta pee - love it - hope whatever you are doing works for you!
lauren - glad you found the keys! One mystery solved at a time! Love the cat sweater pocket idea, so we can all be in it for cat tooth surgery! Happy Birthday to you!
SAS - Hello my friend! Sorry I have been out of touch! Happy Birthday to you! Glad you had dinner with DS and got some info about his new date!
granny - I like your new avatar pics!
Hello to everyone else, hope you are all doing well!

Hello SpecialK and to all. Running through again.
GG - if I could live anywhere FOREVER, I could not choose, am too much the gypsy. But I would love to live in the more remote countryside on Prince Edward Island for a long long time I think, you know Anne of Green Gables home.
Gotta pee. Drinking so much water to help detox tx and this is all I do. Was so sick yesterday and last night, better today so far, but must drink the water or else.
-
I've already chosen my favorite place and fortunately DH is in agreement! It is right here. A comfortable home on a canal with lots of wildlife and woods but in the middle of town, near the ocean, neither too hot for my taste and comfort nor too cold. Good hospital and wonderful doctors 20 miles away and easy access to some of the best medical facilities in the country within reasonable distance. Adequate shopping for my needs. I have no desire to live anywhere else.
-
chabba - sounds fantastic and how lucky for you to be there!
-
I feel very lucky--and especially to be here with a husband with whom I am so well matched. Six more days to our 46th anniversary and we are both still happy and planning to be happily together until "death do us part".
