Haven't posted in this thread in a few days because I've been too tired when I got home from work. Also didn't have anything new to say and was tired of hearing myself whine. I know it's okay to unload here. I was tired of hearing myself.

I posted about this in pets. Had a raging bout of insomnia last night and only got a few hours sleep. Discovered today that one of the horses has a huge ulcer on one of his eyes. I've treated these in the past so I know what to do. BUT he had to be medicated every two hours around the clock. I know what that kind of disruption to my sleep is going to do to me physically.

I'm worn out and discouraged today.

Thanks Cakeladie. I'll think of you and your 3AM feedings while I'm trekking to the barn in the middle of the night.

At least I don't have to go to the barn but these 3 am feedings etc are hard. I have also been sleeping on the couch so I could be near the kitten and that is not a good place to sleep every night. Plus I have been trying to swim every night easy strokes to help my muscles.

My son is home tonight so hopefully I can sleep in my bed and he can do the 3 am feeding. I think i am babbling now

Once I had a mare (female horse) that had a very treatment resistant corneal ulcer. It took NINE MONTHS to heal. I reached a point of such exhaustion that I would sit in the corner of her stall and sleep between times to medicate her. At one point she laid down and put her head in my lap. We'd both nap until it was time for me to squish medication in her eye then go back to sleep. I was 25 years younger when that happened. No way I'd survive that sort of thing today.

I missed one time medicating him last night. I spent the night sleeping on the sofa fully dressed. Set the alarm on my phone to wake me every two hours. One of the times I just could not force myself to get up. The vet called in a script for a pain medication for Kyote that I have to go pick up today. Driving this tired ought to be fun - NOT!

edited to add...

I forgot to mention it's raining here. Been raining for days. Is going to continue to rain for days. So I not only get to troop out to the barn every two hours around the clock I get to do it in the rain!

((((( Liz & Cakeladie )))))

I'm so sorry you are not getting rest and I hope the kitten and horse are soon better. I hope you two are better also.

I did my exercises again. It wasn't as painful as before, but my back is really hurting. I've taken pain medication and it did no good, but I took a muscle relaxer and it's starting to help a little. I don't know if I can do this three times a week for a month. I have a ton of things to do, but I think the best place for me is right here in this chair.

Healing thoughts and love to everyone!

I called the doctor my ribs are killing me on my left side. She said no swimming and use my pain meds pain patches and heating pad. My heating pad just broke and I don't want to give up swimming. I feel like I have accomplished something when I swim and I am not doing hard strokes just easy ones. It's just not fair

Cakeladie, could you use a noodle and just float in the pool? Maybe just use your legs to kick?

I'm sorry to see that everyone is having such a rough time at the moment!

I'm low on data so I haven't been able to come on here in a little while.

I had three okay days with some rare motivation and hope, and then the exercise obviously made my pain worse and these useless pain meds do nothing.

I hope everyone gets some good rest soon.

Hey bubbles I pay my daughters cell phone bill it's a family plan and the ding bat has used 7GB I have used .1 and my son has used .1 I told her if I get dinged again I am cutting her off. And the sad thing is I really don't know what what a GB is ! Lord have mercy

My grandmother called and she was at her friends and her friend was sick so i had to pick her up about an hour or so away. They are 88 years old and they go to church then grab something to eat. It gives them both something to do. So off I went. I got home 5 hours later. Then I ate a little and I did swim for an hour but hopefully in the next couple of days I can get a noodle or a kick board to help with the rib pain. I did not know fibro could do that.

Ok I am done I am tired.

Take care everyone hugs

I'm sick of hearing myself whine, but am going to do it anyway...

As I expected lack of sleep the last few nights has triggered a flare. I hurt all over. Can't think straight I'm so tired. Mood sucks because I'm exhausted. Am reminding myself that any normal human being would be down from stress of dealing with the horse's eye problem and lack of sleep. Trying to remember that "down" is not the same as depressed. I have next to no patience with the world. I know that comes from the exhaustion too, but don't like it. While I've been hanging out at PC a lot to pass the time while I'm not sleeping I'm not replying to folks very much. I suspect it would not be considered supportive to tell someone to stop being a whiny baby and grow the F up. (Not talking about anyone here.)

BG got carried away with himself and was chasing one of the horses this afternoon. That is a MAJOR no-no. I was so mad at him I wanted to lay into him. I made myself just put him in the feed room. I would have happily choked him though.

Kyote is as tired of me fussing him him as I am tired of doing the fussing. He is getting cranky about being medicated. He's fighting me about it. He is a BIG boy. Last few times I treated him he tossed me around like a ragdoll. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

I am sorry Liz I know how hard it is. The kitten is getting better but I slept in my daughter room last night and her cat was happy to have someone sleep with him that he wants to sleep on my face. I am tired and just wanted to sleep.

My pain is out of control but I am not giving up swimming. I take so much pred and put on so much weight that this (swimming) makes me feel better.

I can't wait till tomorrow. Ken will b at work and Mikey will be back at my grandmothers so I will have peace. I am very sorry about BG the farm is new to him. The kitten peed on my stuff from the nuns but I can't tell my grandmother that.

Take it one day at a time and if that does not work then take one minute at a time. We are all here to support you and you are not whining. You need to get your frustration out and this is the best place.

Take my friend sending you good healing vibes from Sunny California

Please note if any miss spelled words are on here or I am not making sense I took my meds already

Grin - GB is gigabyte - how much data your smartphones use. If anyone goes over the plan, there's a charge. Glad you're being strong with her. My plan is like $15 for going over - they "give me" one GB and I get to pay them.
I don't go over. @_@
hugs!

Kiya she went over twice in one month and each time I was charged $15 I finely had to screen shoot my payment page to prove to her it was her fault. I told her the next time I was shutting off her phone. She needs to have some responsibility. No wonder I am always sick

Damn I wish someone was paying for my phone!! I have 4GB of data a month but I'm no longer living in a house with Internet as well, so it's hard to keep under the limit sometimes. It costs me $10 for an extra 1GB but I'm trying to avoid that!

Money is really stressing me out at the moment. Gotta drive 2 hours to the rheumy on Friday, and I can barely afford his fees and I don't even want to think about adding petrol costs into that.
It's lucky I like mashed potatoes because that's what I'm living on right now!

I thought I had something worthwhile to write but I realise now that I don't, haha. Need to write myself a note to not post as soon as I wake up.

Oh by the way,
Cake and Liz - you two are like unbreakable magical gods. How the hell are you getting up at all hours to look after animals?! It's amazing, I can barely look after myself.
I wish you weren't doing anything to make your lives harder, but I'm impressed that you are!

Bubbles I don't know how I am doing it either.

Has for your phone bill bubbles I would gladly pay it for you since you would appreciate it. This month I paid $30 extra for her going over and I am not tech savvy but according to my bill we have 4 phones my husband does not use his he has a work one. I used .1 GB my son used .1 GB and the spoiled brat used 7 GB. That's not right.

Then she had the nerve to try and tell use we are not doing enough for her I swear I don't know what to do with her.

We did spoil her because my husband grew up with nothing. So we worked hard and second jobs to afford to give our kids the best and she turned on us all because of a boy lord now I need a nap. I could go on and on ..... It's sad I could really use her help

I have been kitten proofing the house and I still lost him for a good hour. I found him but lord I had the flash light out and everything

Vet was out to see the horse this afternoon. The eye is healing. I told the vet I can not continue round the clock treatment and go to work. We agreed that I'll treat it before I leave for work in the morning, then every two hours in the evening until I go to bed. That is going to have to do. I'm braindead from lack of sleep and my body hurts from top to bottom.
