Fuzzy's Romp Room

Go Cindy--full steam ahead ! No shushy here, there or anywhere.

You girls have me laughing, then crying, then laughing, then crying. Unreal! My heart goes out to you in such a big way.

This is my 1st time looking at this thread. Omg! MONKEY LOVIN???

That one really cracked me up.



Fuzzy~please define MONKEY LOVIN.

Glad everyone survived T-Day. Had to travel to sister unexpectedly. She went into hospital with suspected hear attack leaving other sister who has multiple health problems in a lurch. Packed up our defrosting turkey and the trimmings and made T-Day diner at her house. Thankful to just be here another year. Hope no one got trampled in Black Friday sales. Why do they call it "Black Friday"?

Maybe because of the sales, their account numbers run in the black as opposed to red.

I'm not sure. Anyone else care to guess?

Last year I was fired from the kitchen.50 odd yrs.cookin was enuf...

Now. I just help clean up.

Yay.

We don't do Black Friday anymore.

I'm think I would have to kill someone.lol

I hear you dunes i have recently moved back in with my mom, and she is great and an awesome support, BUT I have to remind her every now and again that the ideea for me is to keep things as normal as I can ie. go shopping, go outside, regular activities as much as I can and she is always saying "are you sure you can/should do that?" Its sweet, but its frustrating.  She is at work now and I am about to sneak out and do some CHristmas shopping

Hi everyone!  Sorry I was gone for so long.  I had started a post a couple days ago, and have no idea why I deleted it.  To make a long story short, I had some indigestion and computer difficulties.  Digestion is moving right along like it should now.  And I've decided to get one of those smaller computers to keep out by the couch with my other stuff.  I've looked at a few things online, talked to husband and brother about it, and am narrowing things down.  The thing is, maybe you all can help me, I want one that is small, but that I can cover the screen when I'm not using it.  Stuff out there by my couch gets REALLY goofed up.  In the end, I'll HAVE to go to a store and check things out, but I'm so anti-going anywhere that if something is halfway close to what I want, I'll probably just get it.

FUZZY, I very much enjoyed the pics of your "tough guy," he/she looks like he could put a hurting on someobody.  But I love that smooth fur he has.  And as long as your Mental Health person is helping you, keep going because he/she might set you free.  If not, find thee another one, preferably a group practice.  We gotta get our girl relaxed.  But I ain't got no room to talk, that's for sure.  For the rest of my life I'll have to take tranquilizers and antidepressants.  I hate the antidepressants, but when I think about that month or so recently when all my meds were upped or changed, no way can I get off them, but I DO think the Valium would have been good enough.  Don't know if I mentioned it, but a few weeks ago husband got all bent out of shape becuz I was sleeping more, I was driving like crap, and all sorts of whining that I basically ignored.  So, I cut back on some meds, and then I was REALLY hurting and that sadness came back over me becuz I do NOT like people to tell me what to do in my own house or anywhere else.  So, I finally told him I tried but it wasn't going to work to cut back on meds.  But that I woudn't drive except in the mornings, which is when I usually do stuff, becuz I'm only on one dose then.  He agreed.  Silly boy, it's after 1 p.m. and he's sound asleep.  I asked him if something was bothering him, and he said no.  But since I returned to my normal upgraded drugs, I'm a happy camper.

Veggy and Ryder, I feel very scary about you all's chemo difficulties.  But I really laughed about needing fresh PJs and then spilling someting down the front.  I do that ALL the time.  I can also remember the miserable sweating and freaking out in general at night.  I have come to the conclusion that chemo really does take something away from some of us, we're not as strong as we were, on all levels.  Most of my weakness and insanity has gone, but enough still there to remind me I'm no better than a toad.

Dune, still lovin on you, you've had a lot of difficulties all at once lately.  It's like building a cute little flower shed and then some maniac runs his car into the corner of it.

All you others and our visitors too, I care and understand how you feel and wish for you all and myself too that I was AT LEAST 20 years younger. That way it don't matter how old you are now; you'd take the 20 and feel like you could fly.  Well, until next time, do whatever the hell you want (within a few limits), and I hope we all feel better soon.  Love, Gail

Veggy~I'm so sorry about your dear friend. Don't give up on her! If you don't mind, I'll have my church family be praying for her. It doesn't matter if we know her name or not, cause GOD knows her name. He has it written on the palm of his hand. Isaiah 49:16



Fuzzy~Actually, my husband is a very good plumber. but I'm one of those unlucky ones who after menopause everything kind of locked up. It's like trying to drive a Buick thru a straw! I see that chemo causes the same problem for some women, and there's a thread on here that deals with that. We had an excellent sex life before menopause. I guess I'll have to get me some of that SCREAM CREAM!!!

Awwww veggy.im sorry.2 of my dearest friends are suffering the same way...

I hate hate hate hate this freekin disease

Find a fuckin cure/vacine...excuse my language...I'm pissed off that you have to sit by and watch...

Hello all.

Gail, are you thinking about a notebook type device or smaller?

It does seem like I have had a lot of difficulties in a short period of time, but I guess I need to learn to roll with the punches. Maybe it is the lesson, at least a major lesson, that I need to learn in this life. I don't know. I do know I haven't done well at it. I'did some serious bridge-burning this time around, but I don't regret it. I think I needed to burn those bridges to really make it clear to myself that I am on my own. I love your flower shed comparison. Thanks for the lovin. I'm lovin you back.

I'm lovin all of you.

Veggy, I'm so sorry. I lost my best friend to cancer a couple years ago. I was honored to be with her when she passed. Her smiling face is right here on my desk. Sometimes I miss her and grab the picture and hold it tight and cry and yell at her. Most times I just smile back and say "Hi Michele!" If your friend is ready to go, the best you can do is be loving her and supporting her and trusting that she will be so free of all this pain. I offer you my strongest hug though.


Paula, love the SCREAM CREAM. I don't exactly know what it is, but it sounds fun.

Hi Fuzzy. I have no appointments this coming week but will be available for anyone who needs me in their pocket...



The visiting nurse came today and the incision is looking good... Just keeping my fingers crossed that this time it will heal up properly and I can move on to getting the swelling down and the a prosthesis...



Veggy. I am so sorry to hear of your best friend and like grannydukes said find a damn cure/vaccine....



Have a good night all!!!

Cindy

Hello everyone Sunday night after the long Turkey weekend. It was wonderful. There was allot of Good Will(thank you Paula). I think that is a perfect discription. For me I've decided that it is the perfect medicine. I guess if Paula was willing to talk about Good Will and Plumbing. I can say that fuzz and I refer to it as construction. Plus Veggy's medical professional referring to it as the "other thing". We have multiple descriptive terms for use thereof, so, I'll leave it to others to add more terms that once the page turns they become words, we will remember only b/c others won't take time to go back and decipher.

GG Glad you feel you are where you should be with meds. Your writing is cogent which when you were on something that was  too high , not right __???__, your writing showed it. So if you are happy and your writing shows it --Clap your hands......etc

Fuzzy, what med did he prescribe? I know Effexor was the drug you had such hell with getting off it. Personally, I hate Effexor. Way too much difficulty with it. From a nursing prespective, a good drug is one that accomplishes the purpose for use,  with minimal s.e.'s and minimal to no drug interactions, A drug should allow for interuption of dose without  significant rebound (signs and symptoms skyrocketing) or dropping you off a cliff. Effexor drops you off a cliff even with the most careful planning and doesn't do well on most of the other points.    When you get your books let me know. I've received only one of three, you should be expecting four. NOT impressed with Amazon.

Dunes I think we should pray that your next year has no problems with buildings. First the house, now the shed. Just picked up on page 153---and see it was an analogy. Ah well, still fits for the praying.

Veggy sweetie by now you know how many mosquito's you need to swat--may be on pg 153 -- Sorry babe just read about your friend, I second what Granny said.

Posting this to see what's on page 153 -----okay caught up.

Crog sounds good, good, good. i know it was a setback, but your description sounds so good now, I'm smiling. AND worry beads aren't in hand or mind

Nancy  thinking of you and SKK:) Wishing you were here!

We haven't heard from ESSA lately?????????

Granny, no mention of your pneumonia Yay that tells me your feeling better.  HOPE THAT'S A TRUE ASSESSMENT ! Based on what I'm hearing, I think this is going to be a very bad year for winter illnesses.
