Ooh exciting times ahead Rae!!!
 
Omg Rae that time will just fly by. Wish your daughter the very best for her upcoming birth:)


Well it's now 9.15am and I'm in absolute agony this morning. God knows why. I woke up with this massive pain up my left side right up to my arm:eek: eventually dragged myself upright and have now take some tabs. I've also revved ul my stim but unfortunately it doesn't reach that far. My hubby said I was moaning a lot in my sleep. So I'm back in bed now hoping my tabs kick in real soon. Maybe I lay awkward dunno but boy is it sore!!!!
Great just what I need right now (not!!!!!)

Hapy Halloween to you alltoday;)

Hiya poppet .. So sorry to hear you're having a bad day. I do feel for you.

I made a mistake by taking double the dose of my Oxycontin my error this morning and spent half of the day feeling like I had the hangover from hell; spinning out terribly.

Only a week and a day until I see the Nurse. Am really nervous about the physc evaluation.

anon21816 10-31-2010 06:59 PM

Feeling much better this evening. Thank God Took more pain killers and took it easy. When you get these added aches it's a worry. One of my MRI scans showed that one of my T discs was showing signs of degeneration so it's always a worry when pain is that bit higher.

Saffy I'm sure you will sail through the evaluation. We will all be thinking about you :hug:

Best get to sleep. Schools back tomorrow :eek: nite all :grouphug:

Rrae 10-31-2010 07:30 PM

I know what you mean.....
 
Yeahhhh...
I found out (from Xrays last week) I have degenerative issues going on with my lumbar spine....which is probably the reason for the lower back pain I've been dealing with......oh yeah PLUS the (minor) scoliosis they said I've probably had since I was a teen. :eek:
I'm not sure what I can do about this at this point. Most people DO get degeneration of the spine to some degree as we age......but MAN, I'm like you Jackie,......some days the pain is so bad I'm just better off staying in bed and taking sleeping pills...... :(

Nana's can't be in BED! :eek::eek: We have STUFF to do!!!!

I'm charged!!
 
Well it's 9.15am and I've finished charging now. Boy am I buzzing :D I turn off my stim when I'm charging (otherwise it's on 24/7) and the burning sometimes is unbearable. It's only then I realise how much I depend on the stim. In fact sometimes I don't even know it's on:eek:

Winter has officially started and the weather is glum. Rain rain rain. But once it's eased off a bit I will go out for my walk. I find getting out everyday no matter what the weather is like is great for the mind and body. You can sort out the whole world in that short time.

Hope you all have a good day

Morning Jackie .. Aye tis a breezy, dull day here too. I've only just got up. Feel a bit poo, but will get there.

Am supposed to be collecting my daughter from the train station this afternoon .. just hope I can do it. I LOVE driving .. if I couldn't drive, I would go loopy I think, but I have to be careful with my clutch and turning around as I can't twist round much.

Hope you have a lovely day .. and maybe catch you later! :hug:

anon21816 11-02-2010 06:14 AM

Good morning to you too Saffy, its odd having someone on at the same time here as usually all our friends in the USA are in bed.....sleepy heads:D

I love driving too, Im hoping to change my car in the next few weeks, or at least the new year. I need to get an automatic as I cant drive too far with the dreaded clutch either. I have a Peugeot 307 Convertible at the moment and I LOVE it. but Im hoping in the SPring that I will be able to look after my granddaughter when my daughter goes back to work. So my convertible wont be much good to me then!!! plus I need the automatic. BUT the thoughts of having to change is just killing me......although not the most practical car when we live on this side of the pond:rolleyes:

My granddaughter Cara is being Christened on Saturday. So really looking forward to that. I am meeting with my daughter in a while to go shopping to get something to wear:eek:So better make sure Im buzzing real good by then. I love shopping but unfortunately I dont always get to go because I cant stand for too long or walk too far, but I certainly try my best;)

Hopefully catch you later too

Bye for now

Jackie:hug:

Rrae 11-02-2010 11:52 PM

ahhhhh, how sweeet!
 
Your little Cara is getting Christened! How special!
These are certainly moments to cherish! Aren't we glad we aren't in the pain condition we were BEFORE the implants!

You are such an amazing Nana! :hug:
3 weeks and counting! My daughter has already experienced a couple of 'real' contractions......!......We are on our toes......
And I asked my PM for some Fentanyl patches to have on hand for when she goes in to labor.......that way I won't have to bother taking pills and worrying about pain flares.
Those patches really do work like magic for me!
I just don't want to have to start using them all the time again......

Thank GOD for good pain meds when we really need them!
:hug:
