Jan

I am so sorry that your son said that to you 😢

You have a beautiful dog & wonderful caring friends 💝

I feel less alone knowing I can vent, without judgement here.

Jan~! congrats on the pill unswallowing~ it's clear that little miss Belle understands how much you care for her, and she is the perfect little dog for you~

I am still getting to know names here so I'll just send gentle and heart felt hugs to all of you today.

I didn't sleep well last night due to my pain levels being around a 8 or 9. My levels are down this morning to a 6 thanks to meds and relaxing with the Hubby having a nice peaceful morning. I find out tomorrow when my insurance gets reinstated and then I can finally schedule my hysterectomy. It won't be a fun surgery (like what surgery is fun lol) with kidney function being lower, being on a blood thinner and then simply having lupus. The doc thinks that I will be in the hospital for a solid week. I am dreading this surgery but I understand why there is an urgent need to do it and will plow through the recovery the best that I can. I am blessed to have a strong support network in my Hubby and my parents.

Anyway, I am thinking of all of you and hoping that your day is as pain free as possible. Such strong women you all are. *leaves more gentle hugs*

Thanks for all the kind words about yelling at BG. I was tired, sore and stressed last night. Poor guy didn't mean to be a pain. He was just being himself. Some times I need to remind myself that the fact he is a Big Goof (hence the name) is what I love about him. Last night was just not a good night for goofiness. I gave him some treats before bed last night. Tonight he lay quietly by me while I ate dinner so I gave him a little of what I had to reward the quietness.

Today was a rough fibro day... sore, fog, tired.... I lay down on the bed for a "few minutes" when I got home from work. I slept for two hours! I still don't feel great, but am a bit less tired.

Can't remember if I've ever said this here, I'm the last living member of my family. There are times it gets lonely and I miss them. Then I read stories like some of you posted about family members being but heads and think maybe it's not so bad after all.

Mind I am sorry about cuddles

Liz you're a good mom I am sure BG understands

Jan I think Your son needs a good kick in the butt. I really do. I don't know what's wrong with kids now a days. I am really sorry I know you miss him and he will regret it one day.

My other post was a vent and I am sorry if I missed anyone

I have cried most of the day. From embarrassment at the doctors office because I could not get up without help to loosing my keys. It's been a bad bad day. Every inch hurts even my hair

Take care everyone. Gental hugs for everyone. And has anyone heard from Christina? Inam worried about her

Gus you are an angel for those pictures you post. They are beautiful thank you

So our weather has been real weird. One day it's 74 degrees and I have the ceiling fans on the next day it's cloudy, cold and raining. My body doesn't know how to react

Today was a real bad day for me pain wise. It took all my energy to go to my appointment with the rhemy but I did. I was there for well over 2 hours. I was so embarrassed because I had to have help getting up out of the chair and my hands hurt so bad I could not zip up my purse. I never cry and today I could not hold back the tears. Everywhere she touched me hurt. So she is upping my pred again she also doesn't want me to drive unless it's really important.

After there I went to the pharmacy which is is in a grocery store so I picked up a few things. When i checked out the guy behind me had 1 item I figured he was on lunch so I let him go first. The cashier said she would have someone help me out. I never do that but I did not I could left the bags. You could tell the kid really didn't want to be there

When I went to get my keys out (they are clipped inside my purse) I had to tug a little. I really didn't think much of it because if any key fell off it would fall in my purse. I get home and guess what my house key is gone plus the keys to my ramp for my power chair.

I looked all through my truck nothing. I took everything out of my purse nothing. I called the store and they said they will have someone look for them. They called back nothing. So I had no choice but to call my husband who yelled at me and said he would call home. I left my grocerys on my porch along with a bag of ice. I texted my husband and said I was going back to the store. He said don't he was on his way home but I went anyway

I get there and someone was parked in the spot I had been so I parked in another spot I looked in the carts I looked underneath and around the other car and then i looked at the tree next to the parking spot. It had tan bark around it and there were my keys.

I can't believe I found them. I drove home crying I took my meds and now I am going to bed.

Maybe my day might not have been so bad if I didn't have to wait 2 hours to see the doctor. Who knows.

Thanks for letting me vent.

[Gus1234U]

the weather here has been weird, too, Cake... and my modem is constantly cutting out,,, hate that~ so glad you found your keys~! shows what a determined person you are,,, doc, shopping, pharmacy AND keys ??? WOW~!!

(and people wonder why i hate going to the doc.... )

[cakeladie]

I called and they were going to have the kid that helped me go retrace our steps. I didn't trust him. They had to keep calling him when I was checking out he was playing least in sight.

I am glad I did not listen to my husband and went back. I prayed all the way. I am just so thankful I found them. The house key would be easy to replace but not the key to my lift.

I hope to come back tomorrow and answer each of you. It's late and I need to get ready for the morning. I have to be up early to get my first spinal shot. I'm afraid.

I went to my family Dr. for my check up today and totally humiliated myself by bursting into tears trying to tell her about all the medical things happening to me. I apologized and of course she said it was fine, but I don't do that.

[cakeladie]

Jan I guess yesterday was a day of tears because I never cry in the doctors office and I did the same thing. Hang in there and write when you can

[January]

I'm here. The shots were so painful. I'm sorry I can't write more. Maybe tomorrow.

Cake, I'm so sorry it happened to you, too and that you are going through such a horrible time.

Love you all!

[lizardlady]

I'm going away for a few days and won't be around here. I still own my mom's house and have to go take care of some stuff there. All of you will be in my thoughts over the weekend.

Becareful Liz

[Gus1234U]

oooh Jan~!! i'm soooo sorry you had to learn that terrible hard lesson~
that's why i chickened out, i could imagine what my body was gonna say....

[Kiya]

(((((( everyone ))))))
Looks like everyone is really struggling!! It's been a hard week here, too. To tired and in pain to write but wanted to see everyone.
Lots of hugs and good energy to help everyone get through

Kiya

[January]

Liz, please do be careful and try not to overdo so you won't kick your fibro into high gear.

Gus, thank you for the beautiful pic and for the sentiments. I'm doing some better tonight, but it's been another rough day. I go back Monday at 7:30 a.m. for more shots. Then I have a two week break before I have two more sessions. Belle and I might try to sleep in the recliner tonight. It might be less painful. I don't know.

The neighbor's gf came back today. Belle heard her voice and spazzed.

Kiya, please take care of yourself.

I love you all.

[Gus1234U]

hoping for miracles of healing this spring~

[lizardlady]

I'm back. Got most of the stuff taken care of at Mom's. As typical, I'm sore as can be from doing too much. Am taking today as a "lazy" day.

Hugs to everyone.

We have almost maxed out the thread. I'm going to start a new one and ask a mod to pin it as a sticky.
