evenin' team...busy afternoon/eve. friend here to visit part of the afternoon, saw oldest son for about 2 hrs (he is leaving for south padre island tomorrow for spring break) had physical therapy..a little more painful today. she did a few movements that did not involve the shoulder, and it caused pain in various…

wow what a difference it is going to a newer/younger vet. very happy with our first visit. he listened to her heart, looked in her ears and mouth...took a very good history, and i was only there to have her eye checked...he must have spent 20-25 minutes with us. that has never happened in the past with our current vet.…

HI Angie!! so good and exciting to hear from you!! sounds like things are going well for you and the family. can't believe Zan is almost 1! i bet he keeps you busy! i hope things continue to work out for Odie. welcome back! :flowerforyou:

hey friends... woke up again for 2 hrs, early this am. therapist called to check on me. i told her about not wearing the sling sometimes when laying down or sitting, she said that is fine, as long as i'm not using muscles and arm is supported. hopefully the dr will let me get rid of the foam barrier monday. icing now,…

i like baked tostitos, sunchips and air popped popcorn, plain. :bigsmile:

still a better day then yesterday, but pain has increased the last few hours. therapy called and said surgeons office called. the nurse told therapy i should go tomorrow. i told therapy that i didn't think that was the problem, so will go thursday like planned. still doing my therapy exercises here at home. my mom and dad…

afternoon ladies.. so far, today is a little better. did call surgeons office and told nurse all that's bee goin on. didn't sleep so well last nite, very restless, was up from 2am >about 5 or so. my surgery arm (upper, back side) was itching during the nite, felt bumps, any way, this am it is all red and rashy looking, but…

ok,so my pain has increased and to the point of causing me to cry and being nauseated. the therapist does an awesome job, she rarely hurts me. i told her what has been going on, and she said it sounds nerve related. i am almost sure it is, cuz my pain meds aren't giving relief. i had pinched nerves in my spine when i was…

happy monday team! well i did pretty good this weekend with eating. haven't had much of an appetite. don't know if it's med related or not. one thing i have noticed is that i am having increased shoulder pain while standing or sitting. even while taking my pain meds regularly. laying is about the only thing that relieves…

great idea!

i add mine individually b/c i am tracking calories, carbs and fiber. i also weigh mine in grams or ounces. i used to use measuring cups til i found out it wasn't as accurate...more of an eye opener. however, i think any salad topped with fresh veggies is gonna be way healthy no matter what. i almost always have 3/4 veggies…

afternoon...how's everyone doing? i did ok yesterday. stayed in calories and almost all my water. dh made pancakes, sausage, and eggs this am. i had banana, almonds, yogurt, and flax. he's grilling steak for supper...so i will indulge..along with some mushrooms and onions.:tongue: ready to try some activity. would like to…

had a post and just lost it...think i hit the back button..so nice to see everyone checkin in:flowerforyou: doing so so..gonna ice my shoulder when i'm done here. worked a while on dependent verification forms for both sons...this is common after applying for fafsa. lots of documents to copy...geez. dh will have to do…

therapy went very well considering i was in pain. she had me lay almost flat..which is a first since surgery. she did all the movements, i just had to relax. i guess it will be like that for a few weeks. she said my rom is very good for 90 degrees. when i go next week she is gonna take out my staples, yay! again she told…

hey friends...i have not been taking my pain meds correctly. over the last few days, with new meds, i have averaged about 2-3 doses a day...which i'm learning painfully, is not helping me. i can take up to 2 tablets every 4-6hrs and have taking 1 about every 8-12hrs. just could not get comfortable in bed last nite....pain…

evenin' team...did a lot of left-handed chores today...surprised at all the back muscles used even with one arm. ready for therapy tomorrow. oldest son away at college called and told me he has a concussion. he participated in inter-mural wrestling yesterday on campus and the kid he was wrestling and him lost their balance…

happy tuesday ladies....internet outage here. i just don't get that. seriously. i need to search flights and ds needs to do homework. expecting a credit on my bill.....pain off and on today. this sitting on the couch is getting old. wish i was better left handed. have not ate well either. brownies gone and cake just about.…

Barb....congratulations on such a rewarding achievement. I have seen some of your photos from activities you had with your scouts...impressive! no doubt lessons learned, experiences, etc will have positive, life long effects on those boys. i am very happy and proud of you. dh worked all weekend. pretty quiet here w/ds.…

got some better sleep. taking pain meds regular...and using ice. have done elbow bends out of sling twice....pretty painful. ears feel plugged, pressure in head. coughing some phlegm, hopefully just from tube. a little dizzy and nauseated. felt a little better yesterday. taking dressing off later and showering....yay.

good job on the losses barb & vita. yesterday 186.2 today 188.6. i figured i'd be in the 90's, so i'm ok with this. can feel my fingers, hand and forearm now....some soreness at site. block is almost gone...wow 24 hrs, no complaints there! throat still hoarse/dry from tube. tryin to push fluids and getting back to regular…
