Hubby was released from the hospital yesterday. He begins outpatient treatment a a local hospital today. This is good. The new hosptial is a 25minute drive from the house. The previous hospital was a 60minute drive from the house.
Hubby came home w/a renewed interest in himself -- wants to eat better & exercise. He wanted my kickboxing class & plans to do a free trial class next week. He wants to be a particular medication for a bit before he does the class.
He told me no more chocolate for him.... no more soda.... Good, I can handle this....
Kelly hope Mom is doing well.

Having a really bad morning. No money, kids are messing up, Job situation getting worse, car trouble, and weight in to only find out I gained the 3 I loss. Ok things really suck!!0

my last couple days have not been well....i woke during the nite, early wed am with something very wrong with my shoulder. feels very much like the nerve pain i had post surgery those first few weeks. still don't know if i turned during my sleep, raised my arm, moved my arm too far away from my body...but i was in excruciating pain. i woke scott and had him help me with some exercises to see if it would help. i did everything imaginable to try and lessen the pain. after about 20 minutes i took my left over tramadol pain meds. a little relief about an hour later along with ice. he wanted to take me to the er, but i said no. after the ice, i soaked in a hot bath, which helped a little more. he left for work and i fell asleep in the recliner, but woke about 40 minutes later. called my surgeon as soon as office opened and he was out of the office wed. she told me i could go to er if i wanted to...no don't want that....ended up making an appt for friday, dr is in surgery all day thurs, today. pain is extreme, but comes and goes, taking maximum tramadol every 4 hours again. went to therapy, but she was unable to do stretches b/c i was in too much pain. she asked me if i had called the dr...i asked her what could have happened?? she said it could be that the sutures/anchors have loosened, which is usually just an irritation feeling, or that i have a re-tear. WHAT? i do not want surgery again. please. she said it sounds 'nervy' again. hopefully that is all and it will go away like it did before. i have been wearing my sling again, pretty much all the time, as it seems to help some. tomorrow can't be here soon enough. have a headache cuz i'm so tired, but can't sleep cuz i can't get comfortable. i want to scream...
a good thing, my mom was able to come home yesterday. she is going to try the patch or chantix again for smoking cessation. i didn't realize she was at a pack a day. thank you all for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers...it means a lot to me.0 -
Its Friday,
Kelly-so sorry:indifferent: that your arm is bad again. Glad your mom is doing better. Let us know what happens at Doc
Barb-Did insurance come thru yet?
Well I weight in at 253 so that a loss, Not really doing anything I think I am just to stress to eat and I been sleeping alot. Manged to get son to go to school today. So that a plus daughter I just don't know:huh: Car is acting better a little except now the AC don't work, I know you all got colder weather but here in Texas with the humity it just hot. Job still sucks and still huntin. I just realized the good thing about no money is there is less snack foods in house, which is fine by me except its makin the kids cranky.
Talk later0 -
could be better could be worse...surgeon thinks i may have a pinched nerve c6 or c7...which is what i had in 1988. it was cured by massage therapy, visiting the chiro, ice, and no work. well, since i am 6 wks post surgery, chiro is not an option. i am to rest as much as possible, use ice, and wear my sling unless i am showering/bathing...with assistance again. continue with the tramadol and basically start over with therapy. stop all home exercises, cept do squeeze the tension ball. i am so bummed, so very upset. today i have had a little numbness and tingling. dropping things as light as a piece of paper, my meds...he wanted to put me on lyrica, but says that can take a while to build up in the system?? if things get any worse, he wants me to see a neurologist. he doesn't think it is related to the shoulder surgery since i was doing so well from the reports my therapist was sending him. i'm just wondering if this is from that car accident i had with my ds in august? guess i shoulda had it checked out and not denied the medical care. today sux. seriously.0
-
hey all..yesterday was not good, but today has been better. the numbness and tingling is better since around noon and the pain doesn't seem as horrible. eating could be better and i need to increase my fiber cuz the dang tramadol constipates me. hope you're all having a good weekend. little humid and warm here...near 76*0
-
Kelly - Glad to hear your Mom is home but sounds like you're having challenges again.
Lyrca is one of the meds we're waiting for hubby's insurance to approve. He was prescribed that for his MS pain. The other med we're waiting for is an anti depressant and he began to have w/draw - bad - real bad by not being on the med. To the point where rehospitalization was being discussed. Instead we paid out of pocket for 7 day supply. After 2 doses, he began to do better. As of right now his insurance STILL hasn't approved the Lyrca or the anti depressant. He returns to the primary doctor today and by golly, I have a long list of discussion topics.
Will state once hubby gets lyrca in his system he wants to do kickboxing w/me. He realizes at his pace... not mine... not the instructor's... not the black belts who also take the class.... HIS pace.
Sindy - tax season is just about over.
Jacque - yes, less cash means less snacks...
Miss V - hope all is well with you.
My military weekend was canceled. So I had a free weekend. Worked out well since the issue to rehospitalize hubby was still up in the air. The decision to cancel the weekend was made before the furlough decision was made.
Spendt most of the weekend lounging around - sleeping - reading - watching t v.
However, all of our vehicles got keyed - each one has a scratch on it. His trans am being the worst.
Weight on Friday was 170.60 -
Well did absolutly nothing this weekend, It was nice but house is looking so sad....
Walked Saturday but didn't really do much Sunday except cat nap, went swimming for about 30 min but it was very lesuire nothing worth mentioning.
So hope to walk tonight some
Barb- so sorry about the keying, some people are just so $%&%&*%*(&^&()*&*(
Kelly- take it easy hope ur arms start to feel better
Cindy- Where are u girl???0 -
Yup, some folks are just jerks.....
What can i saw.....0 -
evenin'...well, therapy wasn't too bad. she is doing passive therapy which is her doing all of it. i really think she knows more than my dr. she thinks my nerves are just 'unhappy' right now and it could be from any of the exercises i was doing at home or with her. i still have pretty good rom. it frustrates me to be back in the sling again. ate very very badly today. my oldest son was here for the afternoon and had supper with us :smooched: we have an easter dinner this sunday, then again in a week.
jacque, swimming sounds great. looks like you've had some really nice weather...warmer any way.
barb, i still can't believe that happened to your cars. just so terrible. i really hope they find who did it. i hope dave gets setttled in with his meds ok. having w/draw symp is not a fun experience. it is scary and can make you very sick. if i miss a dose, i can tell fairly quickly.
vita and cindy..hope all is well with you both. take care

Well, I have a freezer full of frozen stuff at home.. yet nothing thawed or ready for dinner.
And I do plan on making 7pm kickboxing class. So.... scrambled eggs anyone?
Hubby took my last dollar so he can get a coffee on his way to treatment.... hello, there's coffee at home... guess Wawa tastes better.......
I got enough gas to make it to Wawa for gas/atm after work.....
I grabbed a frozen mac/cheese single dinner for my lunch out of the freezer since peanut butter sandwich wasn't just happening for me. If unhappy w/my choice I do have a can of soup at my desk.......
Since I only have about 35 cents in my wallet - I'm not going to the cafe for anything today.... not even a diet pepsi...... so that leaves me drinking water or another hot tea w/my lunch.....
I spilled my second cup of tea all over the office hallway, my uniform pants & boots.....
Been trying to deal w/hubby's insurance regarding his med denial & mri which i know learn the lab is requiring blood work prior.....
It's a Calgon - take me away moment.....0 -
sounds like a 'monday' barb...i do like scrambled eggs...good source of protein! hope you act out on that calgon moment...
yesterday after therapy i pulled into the mcd drive thru...gonna have me a filet o fish, med fry, regular hamburger, & a coke. wanna see something nasty, look that up for nutritional values. gal taking order says cash only b/c debit/credit machines not working. only small change in my wallet. i go around to the other side and park at the truck stop so i can get some cash. i'm desperate enuf for this food that i am going out of my way. figure i might as well just order at the counter since i am inside the building now. see a very long line forming. nope, get back in car and enter drive thru. my order did not change and it was all gone by the time i reached home, 9 minutes later. all of it. the last few days have been very bad. start out good then blow it noonish and binge the rest of the day/eve. have had to take acid reducer the last 2 nites. went to my folks today to visit with parents, check on mom and fix her pc. had a deep convo with my mom...we were both crying. i think it is the most sentimental talk we have ever had. i told her how much she was loved and cared for...that we are all concerned for her..and only she can help herself. she is at 4 cigs a day now...ended up having lunch with them....chopped ham sandwhich (i have not had chopped ham in years) and chips. came home and ate a piece of pizza and had a cinnamon roll....i don't know what has happened these last few days, but i am feeling bloated and miserable because of all the bad stuff i am eating. no control, and when i start i can't stop...i gotta get me outta this...0 -
Kelly -- yes, let's get out of this rut. We're here for you!
I ended up finding a quick shrimp/pasta stirfry in the freezer for dinner. Once I gave Hubby a plate he was "what is this" in what I perceived an unkind tone. Once I told him I got an "oh" in a deflated voice from him. Guess he was expecting more.
Having him back home is different. I'm still adjusting.... he's still adjusting... trying not to take little things like the "what is this" comment personally. I don't know what type of day he had at outpatient treatment - which is including counseling for him. So....0 -
mornin'. not feeling so well today. up off and on during the nite. constant head ache. just took b/p and it is up some. suppose it is the pain meds, as this happened last time. arm does feel better, but this sling makes me hot. i just wanna be back to where i was.
sending prayers and strength to ya barb hugs
everyone have a good day:flowerforyou:0 -
Well things got so out of control this weekend so I had to do some major soul searching and praying. So got to fix the inside before I fix the outside I guess. So reading my bible and praying ( for you all too) Ask God last night to help ne get up this morning and go walk.. So I walked a mile it took 22 minutes... so sad but hey I did it. So I am going to try and walk a little before lunch it won't be a long one but just to get up and move. Log in Breakfast and lunch. Hope to say focus. Next is to stop smaoking which is gonna be hard not that I smoke alot but I been enjoying the morning one a lot lately. And the ones after work to deal with DD and DS. So goal today is to stay focus.
Barb-hope today is better
Kelly hope your Headache goes away
Cindy-hope you r doing ok
V- hope things are good with you0 -
The power of prayer is strong.... sometimes prayers are answered when asked - sometimes it takes time...
Sometimes the answer isn't what we want but it's the better answer for us.
I haven't been logging in food... trying to be conscious of what I eat.0 -
hello ladies....ended up going to the city yesterday w/my mom. not a good idea since i was not feeling well. i was dragging butt the whole time, groaning and moaning. finally, after taking some meds, laying on the couch for a bit, icing my neck, a massage from dh, and a hot bath, my headache seem to lighten. had a better nite sleeping but already sense it starting up again. if this keeps up, i will be going to the dr tomorrow. my shoulder/arm seem to be better each day that passes. have therapy later this am.
jacque and barb... can you believe it.....2 more weeks! i am getting so excited! :drinker:
HI cindy and erica:flowerforyou:
have a good day 0 -
Hi again all....
Yup, two weeks away....
I didn't pack any food today. Part of it is I'm leaving at 12 for a doctor's appt. The other part is I knew I could get something at our cafe.
I'm actually leaving the office at 10:30am to do my re-enlistment in another location. Once I drive back to my office, it will be close to 12. Yeah.....0 -
So as you can tell I finally log food and exercise. haven't done that in forever! Was over a little but not bad considering that I havent been having conroll at all prior to. So had a breakfast meeting this morning so I ate the less calorie thing there which was a bagel. Wanted the Kolachi But way too much fat...
So didn't get walk in this morning but hope to walk a little at lunch and then tonight when I get home. Logged breakfast and lunch already brought lunch from home. Will do dinner tonight. Have no idea what I am making only the bad crap in the house. ran out of fruits, vegatable, and salad last week. Think goodness payday Saturday!!
I was so frustarted after meeting I look at my calendar and counted the days till VEGAS!! I was so happy to 14 days left. Soooo ready for a little fun!!!0 -

good weekend to you ladies:flowerforyou: up this week (surely fluid) and not surprised as i only logged food 2 days and ate out twice:frown: 187.6. yesterday was my youngest son's 19th bday, so dh and i took him to the local steakhouse for supper. i had a yummy shrimp kabob, baked potato and small salad. came home and had some chocolate, no it wasn't bday cake:ohwell: live and learn. will be going the the high school later today to watch the prom parade. excited to see some of my bus kids!! my arm is getting better every day that passes. therapist said i can start walking again, but wants me to stick to the shorter walks. i am still wearing my sling, but have cut back to a regular dose of pain meds and my headaches are not as bad. i also think my poor diet and lack of sleep helps bring them on. someday i will realize that eating better is really worth it
very windy, rainy (had some light snow when i woke), and a chilly 36*. tomorrow is the avis easter. i am taking baked beans and fruit pizza. take care friends. 0 -
Hi all. Kelly I had a headache yesterday and I was thinking due to not enough water. So I started to drink water.
Weight is the same as last week. BMI is down. I'm thankful for no weight gain.
Hubby wanted to do a "us day" .... Unsure what that will be.... he's in pain today.
Going to grab a light breakfast of yogurt & cereal then off to the kickboxing class.
Have a good weekend!0 -
Its monday! need I say more. So been feelin crappy so I know the smoking not helping so Today I am going for a smoke free day. DD informed yesterday she is moving out. I wouldn't mind except for the way she doing it. She moving in with 40 year old guys she been dating...... Need I say more, stress does not even cover it.

jacque...thinking of ya. so hard when our kids make choices that break our hearts. hang in there. i know she loves you and you her. all we can do is be there for them and catch them when they fall...hugs
have a good one0 -
evenin' dear friends...we finally had some decent precip..rain/hail/sleet/snow. still been chilly tho, in the 30's today. extreme weather i'll say. it's getting greener! gave my puggers a bath today...went pretty well, took longer than usual and had to modify, but i feel better it's done and... they smell better! :bigsmile: eating has been bad for a while now. feel like i am out of control or binging. have plan for supper tomorrow and that seems to be the most challenging meal for me b/c the guys usually don't eat what i eat. and it's not my meal that is difficult to come up with or prepare, its theirs. i just get tired of having to make the decision all the time..'what's for supper'? dh *has* to have leftovers for lunch @ work. feeling like my arm/shoulder are getting back to where i was. have a couple exercises i do here at home that i really struggle with, and yesterday she gave me a 1 lb ankle wt to add to my 'bar/pole' home exercises. i am so very, very outta shape. and the last few days i have felt stiff, from sitting too much i am sure. time to get active, slowly. i don't want any setbacks, so gotta be careful. hope you're all doing well. take care. 0

So yesterday was a total bust, ate way to much yesterday. So going to try harder today.
hang in there Kelly!
Where is everybody? Hope everyone is ok?0 -
Jacque - I had to come to terms with despite what we as parents do for our children, it is their decisions.
May she realize her decision isn't the best one for her.
Court was Monday and the outcome wasn't as I had hoped. I'm focusing on the positives instead of the negatives.
Didn't go to work yesterday so I can speak w/his doctors. I drove him to/from the treatment center.
At one point I had a few hours before I picked him up from his treatment center. Instead of going home I went to the mall near the treatment center. Walked around and purchased nothing except lunch. Realized 1) I didn't like the fashions 2) spending money wasn't the answer to my personal issues. Then quickly dashed in the library when I purchased a used hardback book for $1. Now, that's a purchase that was reasonable & fulfilled my need to read.
Looking forward to Vegas.0
