Ali, Thans again sweetie! As for pain free days, mine are so bad!! My 23 lb. turkey was so heavy, my husband had to help me a lot with that. I had 6 adults and 4 children here. All in all it was well worth it, as everyone was pleased with the food, homemade stuffing, etc.
I go to my PMD tomorrow. He will most likely want to try another block?? Love ya ali, and thanks again!!~Love, Desi

Desi,
I do hope you doctor can get that block underway as soon as possible so that you can get back to those improved pain days.
Thanksgiving is quite a celebration over there isn't it? It hasn't really caught on here in Australia which is odd as we are very similar in all other celebration days.
I am glad you all could get together and have such a fun day.
Meal time at our house is Thanksgiving every day. Most meals are for 2 old adults (my husband and I) and 6 young adults with 3-4 partners.
Yep, 11 or 12 most evening meal times---it is both nightmarish and wonderful (not to mention expensive)
Love Tayla

Tayla,
I too hope that my pmd can do the next block to put this beast back into remission for a long, long time! My son is trying to back out of having Christmas dinner at his place now. Says he doesn't want his place all messed up with little one's running all around. says my place is biger, bhah, blah.. I told him , Billy, that's not right!! I am not having dinner here again!! He said mom, we will all help, my girlfriend, and Mary(my youngest sons wife) will bring food!! Even my husband was like, what the heck is he backing out for?? I told him to cook the ham and we'll be right over!! LOL Oh my yes, Tayla Thanksgiving is a huge "Celebration" over here! Now, do you get snow? What do you mean about meal times there? does your entire family live with you and your husband?? waiting for your reply.. hurry!! LOL Anyway, thanks for your kind reply back to me!! Love ya!!~Desi

Desi,
Good luck when you go and see your PM doctor. I really hope that you get the treatment you need.
Take care and tell us how it goes with your PMD.
Love
Alison

Hi Ali, I had to cancel due to my husband's sugar being too high. I am going tomorrow at 10:00 A.M.amd I will for sure let you know what he says!! Thanks sweetie!~Love ya! Desi

Hi Dear Desi,

Yes, we still have 4 out of 6 living here plus 2 partners (one fiancee and one husband) It is quite a circus and it costs the earth

I think your son is being a little selfish, naughty boy. Fancy caring about keeping the house tidy at Christmas as compared to what is best for his poor old mom!
As for snow Desi, if we drive for 6 hours in winter there is snow but apart from that there is none.
Our Christmas are usually 30-40 deg C--I think that would be 90-110 F
and everyone is out in the pool!!
Today it is 33 deg, I could do with a dumping of snow right now
Hope all works out with your appointment and your husband is OK. Please let is know.
Love Tayla

Hi ya Tayla!!
Yup, Billy is one selfish man!! The dude is going to be 30 yrs. old in March, for goodness sake! He came here lastnight with his girlfriend, who I simply adore. Don't get me wrong, I love all my 3 kids equally, but I believe the boy needs help!(he's living the high and mighty life and I believe it's going through his head)!! He was NEVER brought up like this!! I have two son's and legal custody of a little girl since she was 2 mos.She is 7 yrs. old now. I mean, he was cussing here lastnight and acting like a huge baby!! (My youngest son who just turned 28 Nov. 24th) now, he is not like this at all! I told my son, Billy your cussing up a storm, please don't cuse like this!! Your little sister is right here and she nor I need to hear this!! He got all mad and I finally said , why don't you just leave. I told his GF it has nothing to do with her, as I just love her. She is a sweet heart and gives him whatever he wants!! Big No no there!! Sorry, Tayla for going on like this.. grrrr.. So, ya don't get any snow?? your swimming?? hot dang!! LOL I will let ya know what the doc. in New Castle, PA says about what he is going to do when I go and see him tomorrow!! Love ya!!~Desi
