Good morning! I really slept in after a couple of wake ups last night where I read for awhile before going back to sleep. I actually had no nap yesterday for the first time in a very long time so that was nice! I was able to spend a great deal of time at the computer for the first time in a couple of months, yesterday and…

I like that…the hug idea! I like that it doesn't rock like the other one and I always felt like I was slipping off the end of it. I have managed so much better today. It's been about 2 months with the extreme pain but it's not so debilitating with this chair. It's 2 PM and no nap needed yet! I am blessed! I am praying for…

Pizza….I've been wanting some but haven't had any since I gave away my stash of personal pizzas awhile back. Just for fun I build one at Papa John's on occasion and back out when it comes to check out and it's $39.90 before delivery fees! LOL…Crazy! I have my new chair…figured out how to lower it and I love it. It's the…

So sorry my friend! I'm here, just in so much pain that my minutes at the computer are few and far between! The guy from Angi's is due tomorrow at 5 to put my chair together. I had trouble breathing this morning…and getting up took more prayer! I did manage to get the dish washer dealt with, laundry bag dragged to the…

A lighthouse for you, Kim! Good for you, Missy! That's a good report…praying for healing, strength and good rest…for us all…

Me too! I snag a lot off my FB feed…. I got my nice nap…just got up, had a message from the lady…she's coming at 5:00 today….I've been kicking the ball around so will be glad to get it and this floppy (to me) chair gone! My bug guy teased me about sneaking in on me last month…I was napping when he came so missed him.…
-
Good morning all…. Thanks, Kim…I too, pray the new chair will be more user friendly! It's due to arrive on the 17th and my assembler is due at 5 PM….I did get an ice pack, finally in the freezer…and will use that today. I am seeing the flooding in New Mexico, now in N. Carolina etc! So devastating! Not everyone is able to…

I have someone coming at 3:00 for the desk chair and stability ball….and have a new desk chair ordered. It is on sale…for "heavy" folks, double cushion seat. for now, I have one of my kitchen chairs in here….I can only stand about 10 minutes at a time but will make do until the 17th….when my new one comes and the assembly…

It's been much too long since I did the BBQ in the croc pot. That sounds delish! I'm really feeling rough right now and I can tell I have some swelling with the added pain…ack! I'm getting up to putter about every 15-20 minutes…and will continue to do that. The pain is so bad I nearly cry, having to sit down on the toilet,…
-
It is a nice chair…and as I mentioned…"pretty" but for my hefty frame and chronic back pain it's just not a good fit. Even with the added cushions. I have 3 different ones and none are comfortable for my major pain…I do a lot of shifting about….squirming like a 3 year old. That shower seat thing didn't work. It was much…
-
OK….no new desk chair in the works yet…I am giving away this one tho…and have my extra shower stool in here with a cushion on it. Will try it for a few days along with some exercise to see if I can lessen the agony! Prayers are appreciated!
-
Good morning sweet Sisters…. I do the short bursts of activity, Kim…and long for relief past what Tylenol can do! Within minutes, I am hunched over in pain! God will help me push thru! I had a thought yesterday…ouch….that this sit bone pain started last year, when I got this new desk chair! I googled it and check this out!…
-
It was much cooler in the courtyard actually…due to shade and a nice breeze. I'll just go out there next time. I too, have trouble getting in and out of my car! We didn't get the storm on Monday so it was all good! We did get some rain last night but it was light. I am still in recovery mode…much pain, weakness, fatigue……
-
I was only "evicted" for two hours while he did his work, Kim. I didn't have to stay away the 24 hours like the first time. The heat sank me and I was in so much pain I could hardly move tho from sitting in my car awhile and then hobbling to the courtyard for the last hour. That part was much better tho the chairs are low…
-
Oh, Kim…you are so right! There are things I need to do….like appointments, car care etc. and it really takes valiant effort and much prayer to do those things! I've been awake since midnight…have an order coming from Walmart this morning so will need to wait for a nap until I get things tucked away. I need to pack my…
-
I've been down all week…I ordered some tablets from Amazon for back, leg pain but they are to be dissolved under the tongue. I didn't know that until just now….not sure I will use them. I need to get some things done this weekend and be ready to vacate Monday for the bug guys and am not looking forward to that. We are…

My BP was low this morning! 98/59 HR 57….oops. It's good, now that I've had some coffee….137/73…whew! I'll keep an eye on it. I have my to do list ready, did my devotionals time….Will get to work in a bit on the list.
-
Marilyn, I am in agreement with what you've said…and Kim's response as well. You both and our Missy remain in my prayers and I so appreciate yours in my behalf. I am so sorry you have to have more surgery done for the port. My heart hurts for you and others who must do these things. Kim, I got an ice pack, some more pain…
-
Woohoo indeedy! I look forward to seeing that number again at my spot. I can barely remember the days in the 220's but hope to see them again as well. I had a decent night but still woke a couple of times and prowled about once. Watched TV a bit, read some more until I got back to sleep. Oh yay! Glad you heard from them on…
-
Missy…might ought you be in the hospital? You've been thru the mill back nd forwards for much too long! Continued prayers for you and yours…for healing, strength, provision and God's comfort and peace in this time of physical turmoil. You are loved sweet girl…

That's another beautiful verse and a comfort to our soul! I had a nice shaker bottle once, gave it away. It had the stainless steel wire ball thing in the bottom. It came with some shakes I never used. One of many things I thought I'd use and didn't! Currently, I still make a mess with my poke straw on the orange juice…

I posted a review back in March or so of 2023…I don't remember if it was with Walmart or Mainstays….the brand? made in China and makers of many products. No response and I haven't posted anything since. Round one was after 1.75 years of infestation. I didn't hold Walmart accountable as they didn't make them, only sold them…
-
LOL…easy is best….or easier….it's a struggle to get in the tub and out so I always pray for protection as I never want big, beefy EMT's to have to rescue me from that scenario. I had my re-inspection…I had to catch a nap in the recliner so I'd hear him at the door….I am scheduled for treatment on Monday so will pack a bag…
-
Last night was a bit less disruptive so I got more normal rest, got up at 6:30. and feel better, somewhat. I got trash to the dumpster, delivery ordered for my meds, am pecking at my chore list, got an appointment for tomorrow for the bug man's inspection and start date for treatment. This round will be much less…
-
Oh no! New symptoms….I am so sorry to hear that. Yes, you do need to get under the care of an RA doctor. I pray that happens soon. I got a bit of bad news today…I went to see Mary about the electric not being drawn yet from my account…a week late…She is working on them today and has a whole stack to deal with….said she had…
-
Thank you dear friend….Love you!
-
Missy, I am so very sorry to hear you are still so sick! There' never a convenient time for such things. You remain in my prayers, Love. Kim, I do one lap at a time as my legs go numb very quickly. Another reason I don't want to be outside! Nothing but concrete out there. Inside, I have the AC and things to grab when…
-
I have the wipes you recommended and some shower sponges for my sink baths. My teeny bathroom won't accommodate one of those seats. I do have a stool in my tub but getting in is a real hardship and my tub doesn't drain well so it's half full of water before I can finish. I'm glad your seat works for you! That's the Benicar…

My friend Sharon would say she worried about a flabby tummy if she lost weight. At our age that would be the least of my worries as nobody but me, God, Doctors and maybe some EMT dudes would ever see it. If only you could get the lipedema swished off! You are limited in what you can do in that situation! After about a week…
-
Hoping you get a call and appointment soon….and you get where you need to go. I have nights on occasion when breathing is difficult but nothing near what you deal with! We had another storm last night. That's about 4 in the past week. Very heavy rain. I love it but then I am tucked inside and safe and no longer having to…
