Hi everyone,

I finally got signed in. With my brainfog, that's a major job. LOL

How are all of you doing?

It's been a year or so since I have been here and I will try and stay this time. It's hard with the depression and with Bill being sick.

I have had a really bad bout of depression for the past year. I went down and had a time pulling myself back up. Counceling helps though. I think having medicial problems makes depression 10 times worse if you deal with depression and if you don't they cause depression.

I have my RSD in check right now. When the weather changes it really shows it's ugly face.

I still get triggerpoint injections whenever and wherever I need them.

I just wanted to say hi to all of the old members and welcome new ones and hope that all of you are seeing better days.

Hi Ada,

You found us - I'm so pleased - we've got our Dreambeliever back!!...how are you? Sorry you've been feeling low - but at least we're here now to cheer you up

None of us seem to be doing too great, sad to say, but we're getting really good at pulling eachother through. Just rushing today, I'll stop by later...

all the best

I am glad to be back. I learned so much from everyone on here. Believe me I take the info I read on here and research and go to my Drs. with it. I learned about blocks, shots, meds and so much more from all of you.

I really do have my RSD in check accept for the flair ups and thats helped me to deal with some of my other issues.

I had a kidney stone removed about a month ago and I am seeing a general surgeon next week to deal with scar tissue. You guys know my history so I' sure not going to go over it and bore you. I have had 16 surgical procedures in 11 years so I am becoming an expert on that issue.

I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel of a lot of those problems. There still there but I've learned to deal with them as they come up.

My biggest worry is Bill now. He did go hunting with my son-in-law this weekend. My daughter bought his deer tag and paid his way and I know it was to give this to the grandson's and my son-in-law just in case anything happens to him. We started paying on our cremation plans and we're getting everything in line. Our biggest asset is our PCP that is helping us do this. He's on oxygen 24/7, has congestive heart failure and has COPD. He takes 10 steps and he's in a mess.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I am so thankful for such good friends even though I haven't met you guys, I have no doubt that you are all great people.

Love,
Ada

ADA!!!

OMG! ((((((((HUGS!!!!)))))))))

I am SOO Glad to see you! You have been missed!

I don't know how I missed your posed earlier..but I wound up typing a book to Mark on one of his threads (As you can see...some things never change: the sky is blue, the gras is green, and Jose talks WAAAAYYY too much! ROFL), and so I have used up the time that I have to sit here at the computer for now. My parts are hollering at me to get up....saying that I haven't taken enough moving around breaks...AND that they are cold...AND that my silly self should have been in bed LONG time ago. *sigh. Ah well. I am glad that I am up way past my bedtime, though. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen that you sneaked back in here with us!

((((MORE HUGS))))

We all have SO much catching up to do! I am glad that you are feeling good enough to post again. I know how bad depression feels, and how it is to not want to get on the computer, talk on the phone, or even come out of the house. I am just glad that you are coming back out of that shell now. Gosh, but I have missed seeing you around! I am so very glad that you found us here at this new place!! WOW, WOW! I am so happy!!!

Ok...seriously...my back and leg are seriously not happy with me and are going to really let me know here in just a minute if I don't get my silly self up from here. So, I have to go for now. But, I couldn't go without telling you that I am so glad to see you, and so happy...and that you have just made my entire month by showing up here, Sweetie!

We'll talk more soon, Ok?

Love and (((HUGS)))
Jose

I am so glad you popped in to tell us you are ok.

Dearest Jose,
Thank you for such a nice post. I am so thankful for friend like you that have helped me though so much.

I did see your post on Allen's link and yes you do still write a book. I do sometimes but I do believe you have me beat. LOL

That's ok though, you are like me, you type like you talk. It's like being in the room with you and talking to you.

I'm sorry to hear that you are still having some bad days. I know how hard you have had it. I remember a lot of what you have gone through. I think a lot of us could write a book.

I have wanted to do just that but with fibrofog and since I'm mentally challenged, that's the nice way of saying I'm missing something upstairs, I just can't seem to start writing.

Have you thought about writing a book You know there's a lot of you on here that has a story to tell. If people only knew what we all go through with the RSD.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to you and thank you for being there for me.

I'm going to bed soon. I have had a long day. I spent it with Susan and it was nice. We went to some yard sales and then to Devin's game. I don't get to do much with her and it was fun. She is still my caregiver though so I get to see her often. I'm blessed with a good daughter and son-in-law.

Got off the subject again, sorry. I am going to go to bed but I wanted to say hi to Hope also and to thank all of you. Hopefully I won't drive you guys too crazy with my talking too much. LOL

Love to all of you,
Ada

Hey Ada,
Nice to see you back again. I think more than one of us have taken a 'hiatus' or two. Doesn't really matter what brought it about. It happens & there it is Absolutely nothing to feel badly about at all. As long as you told someone you were going off for a bit is what matters to us. That way if you are asked about then someone can say he/she are off on hiatus or what have you.............That way people don't worry that something 'drastically horrible' has happened to you.

I was gone most all spring & summer from the puter. I think I scared some of my email mates & I am truly sorry for doing that. I sure didn't mean to, but I didn't raise my head from my book or moved my body from my front porch too much this year. I just enjoyed the warm/hot weather & the fact that I am able to sit down & read again. I have missed my books so much. The worst part now is I keep falling asleep while reading. You should've see me jump when someone would be walking by & say a cheery hello............. *ROFL* Funny part was you should have seen their faces when they realized they woke that fat old lady sitting on the porch with a book in her lap I was so embarrassed though psssttt not really!!!

Anyway good to see you back & for myself I know I am glad to be back.
