The Hermit Club

Bippy, it's good to see that you have the energy to write. And, I think that it's definitely a good time to encourage others to clean for you. My husband is still vacuuming for me these many months later! The drain removal discomfort depends on the skill of the practitioner - I did not even know it had happened when my surgeon removed the first one. When the nurse removed the second, I felt a twinge - not real pain. I hope your removal is like that - in any case, it's a huge relief to have them out! Sorry that you are so uncomfortable. As Jazzy recommended, walking really gave me both a feeling of well-being, control, and energy.

Jazzy, you sound so organized and ready for the festivities. Your enthusiasm is so encouraging. Heading to some hot springs? I would be living one big, long hot flash??? I hope it's relaxing for you and involves lots of delicious food prepared by others...

Mommy, are the famous rolls a family tradition? My mother always included her signature cinnamon rolls in the bread basket. My daughter bakes them for us now (that baking gene skipped a generation). Their presence is a comforting thing. Hope your rolls turn out awesome. I am certain that your family appreciates the effort!

Mags, I am a bit behind - LOVE the procaffinator. Hope you are relaxing in your recliner listening to Christmas music... Sorry about the difficulties with your shoulder and rads - I have no experience but am praying for a better solution. DuckyB's words are encouraging.

Blondie, I hope your pain is resolving - who needs that? My husband had shingles early in our marriage and it was difficult. You are such a trouper. I am sending prayers for healing.

Cami, hi. I am new here. prayers for restful healing - hope you reach a happy balance of sleep and alertness.

I am getting stiff - cat curled up sleeping behind my knees on the bed... need to get moving but not wanting to disturb her. Hmmmm... what are my priorities here? Wishing you all the best of holidays and joyful moments with family and friends! Recently I am way less able to focus (hope I did not miss anyone posting recently) - love to all hermits and hope that all Hermits are uplifted by the holidays Hot flash, moved legs, cat is gone, and so am I!

Just something I've done since my hubby got me a bread maker.

Great news Bippy!! Woo hoo!

Bippy – Snoopy dance!

Can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Adam.

Hi ladies, I see a couple of names I don't know so I'll welcome u now.

Daisy I had to laugh about the cat, we all know if we move they just usually get off of us, they are so picky.

And who's doing all this baking, Oh chit, my DD has been a busy bee with all she's doing cuz Eve is at our house, but I have to make (fry) peppers tomorrow and finish wrapping--I hope my phone leaves me alone today it was busy--AND I STILL CAN'T FIND MY SHOE. I have to wash clothes tomorrow (mine) to have what I want to wear for Wed. and Thurs. And I do worry about my D interfering with all of this. It better not.

Jazzy again u find the most exciting things to do--all I can ever say is Wow.

Mags I do hope they figure something out for u so u can be comfortable and I honestly can't even imagine it's the Holiday again so quickly, how does this happen to us?

Blondie my sweet I hope u'r doing better and can enjoy u'r family and if anyone really can't do the family thing, just stay home and rest, do what's best for you.

Joey has bbeen in bed for 2 days now and my DD won't let me see him and he won't either so he's blowing kisses to me. He did say he feels better tonite so I hope tomorrow he good--the Dr. said a virus, and to me that means who knows.

Hey Teka (muah)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday and feels good.

That's wonderful Bippy. Wish I was as lucky as you. Don't mind my feeling a bit down. Basically my MO and the Practical Nurse just ruined my enjoyment for anything forever. If you want a full explanation, read my post in the Cheezed off thread.

Oh Bippy I'm so sorry u'r having such a difficult time with the drains, I know mine never hurt or bothered me actually I didn't like the fact I couldn't take a shower for 3 months, I'm sure a lot of people around me had a bigger problem, but it didn't hurt me and they never hrt at all taking them out so u should have them out soon and feel more comfortable.

Jazzy's on her way and hoping for a little snow, we don't want any here, on Christmas eve we're supposed to get some snow but not the next day. Partly sunny and not to cold.

Oh so busy today, trying to help my DD a little but can't do what I used to but Joey was feeling much better so he was a ot of help for the 2 of us. They set up 2 tables in the kitchen--it's a big one, but no dining room, but we have a counter going around so all the food is put on there and a small table is put in the kitchen for all the drinks and stuff. The garage has a love seat with a few chairs and TV and it's heated so there should be enough room for everyone and the kids can eat in the spare bedroom cuz it has a table in ther, they like to be alone anyway. I don't blame them--This is to much for me--I don't mean my DD wants me to do anything, I just don't feel comfortable with so many people here--I don't mind my sisters party but let's face it, it's my brother and sister and their families--there's a difference to me anyway. I still can't believe this all starts tomorrow r should I say today.

U know I hope everyone has a happy Holiday and rest if u need to,

Bippy,

my hubby was there with me and when he tried to even ask the same questions, he got the same thing. He is just as frustrated as I am over this, because he works with a woman who had the same thing and she's not even on treatment anymore, she is just being monitored for possible relapse. He's going to try and get the day off for the next time I have to go, so that he can finally get them to see what they are doing to me with this attitude of theirs.

Hi All, heading out for a brain MRI - Yikes! apologies for not wishing you all well, safe travels, etc... a little (?) distracted. I truly appreciate this thread and your upbeat kindness. Bippy, those drains are a bummer - hope they're gone soon! (distant memory will be good) Jazzy, I am jealous - sounds so refreshing. Cami, nice to meet you! Blondie, love DQ - in a pinch, McDonald's carmel sundae. To ALL Hermies, stay warm and peaceful. Thanks for keeping me smiling

Hey jazzy, so excited 4 u 

Wishing all my Hermies a very merry Christmas!

Jazzy, so envious of all the pampering!

Chevy, welcome to my other home!

Cami, find a quiet spot. A closet, maybe, or under the bed. I totally sympathize and so relieved not to have a crowd here.

Onco, merry Christmoos.
