New May and Summer Thread
 

Hi I'm starting a thread for Summer. I will be gone for awhile this
weekend and next week. But will check in when I can.

But it will be a good time. Heehee. Its called the fun of visiting
and trying to get things done. I'm going to visit my family in Oxford
and see if I can get some things done.

But then I'll be back in Lafayette and hopefully it will be better weather.


We will see.

Weather is still a little cold. I haven't seen too many people but I have
been helping Dale work on the house. Trying to clean it a little.

Its been a nice quiet weekend. Its going to be a nice beginning of
the week too.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

We had 60's yesterday for the festival and it sprinkled off and on.
Today was gorgeous, clear blue skies temp 70's just a delight to see the festival.It is over now great times !

Glad you had a great time and good weather even if cold.

We have still cold and rainy weather. Hoping for warmer tomorrow.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Well tomorrow I am going into town with Dale to watch him give Derrick his
shot then we will go out to eat.

Then on THursday I will go to a conference out at the jr/Sr high school.

Then on Friday I'm going to help set up Harmony's 1st grade year.

I'm working to set up for her to go to the 1st grade classroom, and have
mainly just mostly the resource for reading as much as she needs.
Especially since she still at this point mainly echo's to talk. So I'm not
sure how much reading she is going to be able to do.

So we will have to see what exactly that will look like. She was
in the special needs skills classroom / kindergarten this year.
And started spending more and more time in the regular kindergarten
classroom.

So were hoping just kindergarten with some resource will be good next
year.

Donna

You are a great grand mother to her.

I forgot to tell everyone that Dale took Meluvja to the High School,
for a meeting. She told him that She has gotten him into the
building trades class next year.

So Dale is very happy technically I am too.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Well I hurt my pride when i was getting out of Dale's car yesterday i tripped
over my purse handle. And hurt my rearend. i didn't realize it till today
though. When I got up to pain. Its okay, I'm taking ibprofen for the pain.

And using my cane from my mom. Because at times my leg about
goes under on me.

donna :hug:

oh donna, I am sorry you fell.
is the leg giving out on you from the fall or it has happened before?
(((((HUGS)))))))

this forum is closing.....by july 5th.
check out my support forums, MSF. I am already over there.

So far just from the fall. Its never done this before. So hopefully it will stop
soon. UGh I didn't need these forums closing too. This has been a lifeline
for me. I hope when I go to try and add the other forum I can get in.

But I have a really hard time trying to get in when somehow I've been taken
out. The last time it happened here I just about didn't get back in.

I am really upset they decided to do that here to just stop having this room.
It used to be so busy and now they decided to just close it.

donna :grouphug::hug:

we have until july to figure out how to get in. the mods here left you links to get in already. so just use them you can use the same nick name for sign in and can have the same pass word I think so it should be easy to set it up.
((((((HUGS)))))

Thanks Bizi,

It seems at one time I was in there. But I tried again. And got in but
will guess it didn't save me being there. And I will have to try again.

It will be a while this hip mess is bad. I don't have a fractured hip but
I swear it is getting worse. I will be starting PT next monday and am
trying to set up a Ortho appointment.

And alternating tylenol and ibprofen every three hours, but its not helping.
Ice and heat no help either.

Donna

set up your appointment as soon as you can
Donna, sorry that nothing seems to help it.
take care,
love

Dear Donna, I'm sorry to read you're in so much pain.
Feel better fast!. :hug:

you can always go tot he er if the pain is that severe.so sorry.
love bizi

Bizi & Lara

I wont go back to the er. To go to the er and be told it wasn't fractured and that I just need to take tylenol and Ibprofen. Like I had been. And that was all. And to schedule some PT, oh and if it doesn't get better come back. And they didn't even look at it. Nope, Didn't need another experience of that.
So I called my primary after scheduling pt, I couldn't schedule the ortho, because my reading glasses weren't were I was. But my primary called in a higher dosage of ibprofen methocarbamol 500 mg, I take 3 times a day. and then Meloxicam 7.5. One for muscle relaxer and pain. And I think the other is pain and some muscle too. Its more for arthritis. But he doesn't like pain meds so just getting these was good. And have helped most days.

And a referral to the ortho office. Because I knew he could give my information
if I explained about my glasses. Anyway, that part was good, he got me a
hip doctor not just the one on call.

So I go to him tomorrow. Did PT today, and she sent for more orders from him.
And had told me but didn't finish why that the er was wrong about nothing
being wrong she could see it in my xray. I'm fine with that because if he
doesn't agree I don't want a different reason.

Donna:hug::grouphug:

My problems are spiraling. And I have no clue where to go now.

I can't walk or put weight, or sit on my left hip. Which isn't the hurt
one. I was in er, per primarys suggestion, which wasn't good. Should
have just walked back out. Too many sick, 5 hours + just to get the
same hip and may be pelvic xrayed again.

I was supposed to be getting an idea of why I wasn't getting better.
And the pain and can't walking is getting worse. I'm at Derrick's now.
He is taking care of me. Went for my mri today. No clue what to do
next. Feeling hopeless. Wont be able to get on anywhere much.

husband forgot my controller so have to wait on it.

donna

Donna, I am so sorry that you are in such pain.When do you see the new ortho?I am hoping the new pain meds are helping a bit.do you have a wheel chair that can be helpful when you can't get around.
I am sorry for all of this. Did you fall? what started all of this?
love bizi

Donna this is what you said earlier in the month

Is this all from that day? What sort of pain is it? Does it feel like nerve pain or arthritic type pain, muscle pain?? The hip pain sounds very painful. Maybe a blow up cushion might help when needing to sit. You know, those round ones like doughnuts.

I'm glad you're at Derek's and he's keeping an eye on you. Must have been the day for MRIs. I just this minute got home from having a surveillance one today. I bought a cheap wheelchair on ebay ages ago. It was not expensive but changed my life getting around especially in long hospital corridors and shops.

Here's hoping those x-rays gathered some helpful information and that'll help the doctors know how to treat whatever is going on for you.

:hug:

Thanks ladies,;

I have an transport type wheelchair it doesn't like corners. and things like that.
But it works. I cant exactly explain the pain, at times its shooting and times
just really intense. It doesn't help that the husband thinks he knows best.
