I started 'thinking' I could thank all of you individually; but, then - mini-meltdown time. M in OZ - I did see a Neurosurgeon; one reason I was moved from the ER in Americus because they did not have any Neurological support there. But, going to the hospital in an ambulance beats 'walking in' and sitting. I don't remember…

Oh, Heather - I agree with Teri - don't let your children try to 'dictate' what you and your husband should do. If she can afford to have a cleaner come in ... I am pretty sure that she could find a young lady in the neighborhood that could come 'sit' for a few hours. Don't let them guilt-trip either of you. You moved to…

WOW! So far behind, I will never catch up; but KLUTZ here and getting better. Went to NeuroSurgeon today and talked with the NP (after I had told the intake lady that I really wasn't so keen on NPs). Mainly because the 3 times I was supposed to see my Neurologist - I was told - first off, you WILL be seeing the NP; the 2nd…

I give up; had to enter test to make the box go away

:p B) <3

One thing in the house is the macrame tree but not hung up yet. I hope the lights are in the garbage bag where the tree is put. Now to get Louis to put the tree up then hang up the bows on them since the boys got upset when I hung bells on their racks, so to make them happy the bows will come out again, and my 3 manger…

You never get over losing a child/grandchild/step-grandchild. But to be told 'not to interfere - which we had never done - she told us on a sticky note that if we needed any further death certification we could get them from the funeral director. It might have been me she was the maddest at was me because I comment to…

WOW - Twins! My very first friends were twins. I never understood why nobody but their mother, my mother, and I could tell them appart. As children they looked very much alike; but, as they got older, I still can tell and still think it is funny that others don't see it. y'all can keep all the blizzards you want. I will…

Soooooo many posts when you get off for a while. Now they want me to have an MRI of my upper spine. OrthoMD says that issues in my upper spine could possibly cause problems with my balance. The PT guy doing the assessment owns the franchise and I hope he will continue working with me. He is 'so' funny and cute as he can…

Lurking ...

Carol - Have you tried to cut a small potato in 1/2 and shoving the cut end into the socket and turning it? We've done this before when we broke a lightbulb in a socket. It works pretty good. Michele - Maybe because I had been taken to an OB/GYN after I bled like a stuck pig and when my sister and BnL saw me standing in a…

Margaret - That is the 'sickest sick' I have ever been. A stomach virus isn't that bad; then 4 hours later Louis started with it. Tuesday, I finally got out of bed about 12:30PM and was so weak I couldn't walk to the kitchen without sitting down and resting. Got to the kitchen and nothing even sounded good, so I went back…

Louis home for 2nd day - he really hasn't felt very good. This food poisoning we went through has been a lot harder on us than either of us thought it would be. Today is the first day I really felt like eating much, stopped by the grocery store and Louis about stroked that we paid over $83 on groceries ... $0.22 was even…

If what my husband and I have is 'food poisoning' ... I never want to go through this $#*T EVER again. First me; then him. We both ate the same thing the last couple of days; I think I've easily lost 5lbs.

Wrist now in smaller wrist splint, this one I can take off ... OTY, Jesus! I can take a hot shower and wash my hair. Got a few more tests to go through, then they will have run out of places to look around at and I will be very happy about that. So far everything has been normal. Still very sleepy during the day,…

Got the palm of hand to 4" above elbow off Thursday and now have a removable wrist splint. Supposed to leave it on as much as possible to hold down the pain, which might last as much as 6 months. I can't take Tramadol either, especially with bipolar meds. Been fighting being Dilantin Toxicity since out of hospital; now…

KayKallsen52 - Go back one posting (Machka9) and click on link take you to month of March. Make sure you bookmark the page by clicking on the outline of the star at the upper right-hand. Then to get to the back to the current month, click on the gray star (between the bell and gear) and a drop-down gear will open up a…

I'm here; haven't had time to lurk. We also had a grown child do a real number of elder abuse, mostly along the lines of deciding to put my DH's mother into an A.L.F., and she went downhill very quickly. Part of it was that she could not lift his DD's baby and she decided she did not need someone she had moved out of her…

Barbie - Wasn't the Canadian ice skaters fabulous????? WOW!!! I have recorded all the days where they have figure skating and fast forward through all the rest. I get a real kick to see what that former ice skater who is doing the commentary is wearing and his hair style.

We went to the local Mexican restaurant yesterday and it did not look open; but, I got out to double-check and to my surprise the door was unlocked and the phone was ringing. We rode around the building and no other cars around. We pulled over and waited about 10 minutes to wait and see if they opened. It was about 5:00…

Allie - If you are not getting a monthly/weekly amount as alimony, you are giving Tom exactly what he wants. Do not sign a refinance on the house. You would be better off to REQUIRE him to put both houses on the market and sell them (as is), Family house AND Florida home and get 1/2 of the proceeds and make him have them…

In splint and sling for another 2 weeks. Shot in hip to try to alleviate shooting pain from hip to shins. Painful!!! Off to get pain meds.

I've said all I need or want to say ... which is very little.

Evelyn - I would think that breaking my wrist would probably end up, one day, giving me problems. I know what you mean about a broken rib. I broke #11 (one right under my left breast and it occasionally catches. Becca - Many prayers for you and you hubbie for complete healing and maybe a moved up surgery. When you get the…

Haven't been able o get on treadmill, with arm in splint. Definitely don't need another tumblr. I have previously done the Taylor Swift move n it by flying off the back of it. Hade MRI in late January, before my 2 falls when I hit my head hard, so MD ordered a CT scan. It did not show up anything. Told him it showed I'm…

Allie - I agree with what's been said about your constant contact with TomCat and even his family. While what I say is IMHO, you are setting yourself up by letting him know anything about your father's estate. None of that absolutely none, is TomCat's business. I think most of us would like to know you have made a clean…
