Hi gang!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but the isp has been out. Came on for a bit yesterday but it's killer on my neck and back to sit here too long even with a break every few minutes.

Picked up the med my doc called in for me but haven't tried it yet. It's Lodine, another NSAID.

I'm concerned about the warnings - not the normal side effects but the risks of stroke/heart attack. It has a lot of "if you ___ talk to your dr before taking this med, or do NOT take this drug".

So I will talk to my doc because all the stuff it warns about pertains to me.

I wonder how many people don't even bother to read those warnings and if they do, don't follow them. Scary.

It's not worth that kind of problem for an advil, ya know?




I appreciate that they're attempting to help me, but I don't feel that they understand the scope of my pain problem.

Anyhoo....

So Jan, what's the scoop with your job? How are you all holding up in the heat?

(me, I love it. Hanging at the pool if you wanna join me! )

Oh and good news, BOTH my kids will be going to college! DD is studying to be a Japanese interpretor and ds is taking courses to get (eventually) a promotion at work.

Ds got a Pella grant that will pay all his fees except books, which is rally good news! How proud am I?
