I have been doing much better since the change of cocktail meds. The instant Ultram 50mg x2 every 6 hrs plus other meds is providing relief for me.
The weather here is humid, and a cold and/or allergies are causing a problem for my hubby.Ron is very congested, and I have
Vicks'd his chest, mustache, and bottoms of his feet,then I placed soft socks on his feet.
Ron ask me ,"Why, the Vicks on my Feet?"
I really don't know other than my Mom did it for me when I was really congested,LOL!

It worked for me. It feels good that I am able to take care of him, for a change.

It rains lightly, then stops...I know that if I did not have the change in my meds that I still would be dealing with the outrageous pain. I am resting, and not taking any chances to be stressed out;however,
I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane....7/09/09
I have been catching up with my sleep, and just getting my strength built up to board an airplane heading to my sister's (Wanda), home. Wanda's cancer surgery is set for 7/13/09. I will be in route to AZ on 7/9/09,alone this time. Hubby has to stay here, take care of the homestead and has jobs lined up in his business.
My sister will be in the hospital at least 5 days after the surgery, and 5-6 weeks home,also. I am still trying to figure out how long I should stay in AZ. 2 weeks...4 weeks..6 weeks???
It was different when hubby went with me in 5/09. Hubby was always near me in case I did have a pain flare..this time I will be on my own. Sure, sis' family will be there, but they will be focusing on my sis.
I will not worry about it, now. I hope you are all having good days and nights.
