Stopping in to say Hi is enough MissyJ..

TX, nice to see you and happy to see you are still pushing the peddle to the floor. Wish I could do that. What happened in July that kept you from Biking?

Happyasme, nice to have you check in too.

Hi Ann, thanks for checking to my dumb thread. I'm so happy you were able to walk to your spa and back home again without falling or getting in trouble.

My team, the Bengals, lost too.

Nothing really "kept" me from riding. It is just really hot during the summer unless you go really early or really late...and I am not a morning person at all. Also, starting in mid october, we began redoing our kitchen and laundry room, so I have spent at least part of every weekend between now and then working on that.

I usually ride 2-5 hours nearly every weekend between mid january and mid april to train for the MS150, so it is nice to take a bit of a break for the rest of the year. Though I usually ride a bit more in the fall than I did this year. I still do 45-60 minute spinning classes 2-4 times per week depending on the week all year round, so I don't really lose my fitness level.

Okay....I'm gonna need good thoughts and prayers this Saturday. DS has asked me to go to his fiances' dress fitting, venue visit and lunch with him, his fiance', her mother and the dress maker.

This is a good thing......I just hope I don't collapse before I make it back home!

He's picking me up at 9 AM Saturday morning (the time I'm usually rolling out of bed ) and we have to go all the way up to the wedding venue which is about 50 miles north of here. Fiance's mother is so sweet and fun to be around plus she is aware of my limitations.

It's going to be a long day but DS is so excited about it and wants me to go so there's no way I'm going to disappoint him. His fiance' called me yesterday to tell me how excited they are that I'm going. She's so sweet. I just hope my left leg and unpredictable bladder behave themselves and give me a day off.

Having an allegic reaction to the bactrim. I kept telling myself that I was just imagining the itching. Yesterday , the itching continues, had a severe headache on the left side of my head, and continued to be nauseated. This morning I wode up splotchy. So I am discontinuing the bactim, taking benadryl, and waiting for doctor to call about another antibiotic. I just might not take it.

Kitty, good luck with your outing, your bladder and your leg. I hope you don't have to do too much walking. Do you have a walker?

Relax, have a muscle relaxant (to early to drink) before they pick you up and have a great time. You deserve it, dammit

I'm allergic to bactrim too or any of the sulfa's and also to cipro and macridid.

Hope you find another AB that works for you.

Completed the Tetra-C AB for the ear infection. Have been down with the HUG and digestive issues (regional enteritis flare) for the last 4 days.

Boo Hoo...tough to sit at the computer for very long; so will catch you all later.

With love, Erika

I haven't checked onto the board for a few weeks and almost never read the Insights thread (nothing personal -- just can't keep up with everyone's stuff).

Anyway, thought I'd say hello and indulge you in your "ITS ALL ABOUT ME" thread. hehe!
