INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Spookie, shame on you for making fun of our frozenness. Why, I think Chevy's fingers have frozen on to the keyboard so all she can do is type hhhhhhhhhfhhhddjjsjskkskkwkakkajdsjskkskfkff and can't even hit the submit button to let us know she is surviving. We can only hope. I confess that when the hot flashes hit I step outside to chill. The wind is nearly squall speed so it doesn't take long.

As for me, I am recuperating from the trip to the pain management doc yesterday. The largest hospital system in the city, with a half dozen facilities (including one a few minutes down the road) and they send me to one an hour and a half (round trip) away? Here's what he said: yes, my shoulder is so bad it needs a complete replacement, which they probably wouldn't do because of LE, but he may have a solution. He wants to try a nerve block, which would last about 24-48 hours, and if it relieves the pain sufficiently he cando a burn to make it last longer. Questions I should have asked: how long, how often, and would I have any use of the arm? I had a nerve block with shoulder surgery and had no use of the arm for 36 hours after. So, this may be a solution, but is it a reasonable and viable solution given that I am now NED? So we shall see. I'm really sick of limbo. Just want to be done with it.

Looks like that in my area too Mags    lol

On top of the cold weather we are getting a snow shower here. So far its enough to turn the ground white and its still going. For a few minutes we had a really heavy burst and it was so bad I almost couldn't see across my street!

Enerva, I wore the hat to dog park today! Kept my ears nice and toasty!

CHEVY, why is it sooooooo cold in your house? Bet Orlando DD has HER heat set higher! But you stay warm with your pole I guess.

When the sun goes down soon the temp will too. I'll not be going outside.

Mags, cute catcicle.

Are you kidding Spookie? She NEVER has her heat on! She grew up here, and loves the coolness! The boys freeze when they go over, but she loves the AC on all the time, and then sleep under comforters.... good thing the cats and dog have fur coats!

And, if you keep your house cooler, it makes you live longer.... It like keeps you preserved!

Still cold for here!

Here in Washington we just are flooding and still having flood alerts

on rivers and mud slides

-28*F

Luv, eye procedures give me the willies.

Majority of nights been feeling tired and in bed before midnight.

I miss the fun in the wee hours. Just saying!!

Mags, I hear ya. I went to the shoulder surgeon ( 2 hours away ) on Monday. He was looking at my MRI, I have multiple issues going on, and he mentions that it looks like a possible bone met.

The floor dropped....I know I had to lose the little color I have in the face....I said, wouldn't the radiologist mention that....??... He said well, yes...I wait 24 hours, call the radiologists & he said..NO, no bone mets... My shoulder is so beat up, he did mention that a replacement is apossibilty down the road. This surgeon is highly respected, only works on shoulders. I do have confidence in him. Surgery scheduled for Feb. 5..

So, since I'm in the "big city", I went thrifting....Sas, always thinking of you when I go. I found these lamps, paid $5.00 each. LOVE them... If for some reason I cannot find a spot for them, my kids can use them. My sons duplex is a nightmare of old, hand me down crap. He has never cared before, but I think he is starting to think its time to live like a adult. ( he will be 32 in a month )...

Shoot, I cannot get the photo of the lamps to post..I will try later...BBL, hello to all....

Early for Throwback Thursday perhaps, but this is me in 1968. I am told that my youngest daughter and I look alike in childhood pictures.

Dutchie! Good one! That is sooooo true someimes! When I had to walk over to feed the chickens for my neighbors, I wore one of those masks... That icy damp cold even hurts your EYES!

And now what's THIS???? Sassy ditches class like for a WEEK, then comes back all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and writes a whole dissertation on ALL of us and NAILS it? I don't know how she does it. She must take notes... She goes off to some Island, with pen and pad, and that phone, and sits and drinks Margarita's while storing all this stuff about us..... THEN she comes back and tells us stuff even EYE have forgotten!

And the only way I can get Cammi to pop in is to raise 3 kinds of hell about her not even PEEKING in! That girls is just off in her own world. She sits in bed in her flannel pajamas with her KatyKat, and whines because she is working her arse off. Now how can anyone be "working" ..... in bed???? Oh wait never mind.... whatever.

Now she is probably in the throes of Winter... like the rest of us are, ceptin' for Spookie and Sass and who else? I can't even pole-dance lately! I mean it's hard enough just to WALK with boots on! But in ONE day, almost all that snow was gone! I swear! It got up to 60 degrees, and POOF!

Then yesterday was the ice storm... Today is supposed to be better...I guess we can take ANYthing now....

HiHO! Damn you SCARED me girl! You are supposed to give GOOD news first, THEN what those dinks told you! I'm sorry your heart just dropped..... I know how that is....but glad you are okay... I would NOT like a shoulder problem! Leg was not good, but how would you do your HAIR and face? That would be the worst..... I mean WORST.

Morning Rosie and all you guys on the last page, because now I can't remember WHO.... except Sass .... her with her play-by-play on each of us, and nailing it!
