Do you think you need to fiddle with your meds right now with this new job starting up ? Maybe put it in a baggie and tape it to your toothbrush or tape on your coffee maker... something you can’t miss doing in the mornings ?? I’m so glad you were all safe from the storm __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Well I did get some poor quality sleep , better than nothing so I’ll take it.
One of my best friends on the planet is just really struggling so hard right now. We have talked back and forth on WhatsApp a lot .. I just wish I could paddle to Cape Town South Africa and wrap her in a great big hug and not let go I forgot to call the GI office this morning to have them send the ultrasound order to my local hospital instead of having to drive 1.5 hours north. They closed at noon .. oooops good to know, I’ll call them Monday. The worries of the “ first of the year” has started already started today for me. It’s all about paying our medical deductibles and property taxes. Most years I’m able to pack all my deductible into my T and Pdoc visits.. there company is laid back and very willing to work with you on paying the balance over the whole year and not in a couple months. But I’ll have to deal with my rheumatologist and likely Pulmonary specialist bills will take up a larger portion and they have a much stricter guidelines as to paying balances. Yay more worried We have been invited over to a friends house for a party tomorrow night. I like Brent he’s a nice guy , his wife? Yeah well I/we really don’t care for her much at all... she’s a “ knows everything” type. I’ll of course me nice and polite, I’m a chameleon and can act however I need to be which is a skill I have perfected over the years and has served me well. I have no desire to drink but I’ll need a bit of help for just dealing with many people so my trusty Xanax will help that issue. Who knows it might be a lot of fun ?? If not ? It was just a good reason to put on cute boots a dash of makeup and have a great hair night. It’s so funny... my pic you see isn’t current ... 4 years ago I stopped coloring my hair. It’s a bright silver white and long and I get so many compliments on it... so many more than when I kept it colored, makes me wish I had stopped coloring 2 decades ago.. I could have saved soooo much money lol ... yesterday at least 10 of my daughters friends on Facebook send me random “ I love your hair “ messages. Really made my day LOL. I legit can’t figure out how to change my picture on here, I have tried to follow directions.. I’m just a dummy maybe I’ll give it another try one day. Anyone have weekend plans ???? Hugs and cookies ~~~ __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ Last edited by ~Christina; Nov 02, 2019 at 03:35 AM.. |

Thank you. I’m feeling ok right now. Seeing a surgeon Monday for a consult on my elbow so we’ll knock the pinched nerve out soon. I told my daughter I need some duct tape or gorilla glue to keep these parts together. |

Good Morning!
Am up checking on my mom. We'd been out for appointments, errands all day yesterday. Took her to (an early) dinner. Came home. She'd tripped, fell, hit her head (on way into house from garage). You know head wounds, blood everywhere. She was in a panic. I was trying to stop the bleeding . Needed to calm her down. Ice. Could see she'd need stitches/staples. More ice. Called my sister who was just 5 miles away. We took her to the ER for wound care and for neuro. assessment. 4 staples. Wound 1.5 inches long.. Neuro exam fine. If you recall, she'd torn both rotator cuffs a few days ago. (She wasn't dizzy/light-headed. She'd tripped. She is older; however, she is very young for her age. People think she is 10-15 years younger than her age. Some have suggested a nursing home. She is simply not nursing home material.) I have been checking on her, intermittently, through the night. I am grateful her injuries are limited to a laceration and some bruising. I am so very tired!. I might get a chance to sleep soon and/or sometime today. Would someone please take a look.... is there a black cloud over my head? Oh, how life likes to present challenges! Keep smiling! Much Love to All! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

I forgot that it is Saturday today. I woke my husband up at 6:10 am for breakfast. I got up a bit after 5 am and started decorating a tart that I made yesterday with piped whipped cream, fruit, etc. It tastes delicious, but the nut oat crust sticks to the pie plate too much. I need to come up with a better crust recipe for it.
Some nights, not all, I have been getting tired very early in the evening. I'm not sure I even made it to 9 pm last night, thus the early morning awakenings. With the fall back in time tonight, that could even be worse. I don't mind being an early riser, but I don't like limitations in seeing hubby after work hours. At this moment, nothing more to write. |

May I say how concerned I am about your well being? You have been doing so well but I’m worried that you are approaching your limit (if you haven’t already passed it). I care. I hope you get good quality rest sometime today and things start calming down. It certainly seems like a black cloud is following you around but you will persevere! Pure sunshine surrounds your aura and your soul although it may not seem that way right now. |

It sounds like you took things step by step and remained calm, which I'm sure reassured your mother.

6:00am and I'm up getting ready for work. I have to play host for the All Souls' Day Mass. I can feel the social anxiety swelling inside of me.

Thanks so much everyone!
I tend to be very calm during "emergencies, " which is quite a blessing. (Mypdoc/ tdoc says I have a very calming Presence which fills the room and shifts her into a state of Peace. Many tell me the same. It's truly a blessing to me, as I do not feel overly stressed when something "emergent" is going on and, if needed, I am able to calmly assess the situation.) Additionally, it was very, very helpful to know head wounds tend to bleed profusely. Otherwise, the amount of blood might have been very upsetting. The profuse bleeding was making my mom increasingly anxious. She may have other injuries which might be more noticeable today. I am concerned about any possible whiplash/neck injury. We will see when she gets up and around.. She's still resting comfortably right now. I am counting our blessings this morning! Thanks again!
