Ucla
 

Btw hope you're not a big husker fan. Ucla put the hurt on!!!!! No offense - in laws from NE. I'm a PAC 12 backer.

Here and There
 

I am around. Just been pretty occupied otherwise. Life is blessed. So am I. :hug:

Be safe Mark...really scary pictures from your part of the world. :grouphug:

..............fashionably late ?? http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...l5e9y2e4mo.gif

My heart is here every DAY, unfortunately my physical being isn't. Too much to explain here, I'll use the "This is the place to vent" thread for that. :o

Thank you SO much, Pooh, for doing these roll calls!

.....TK, I am so sorry that you are going thru such a rough time. Your family here is always in prayer mode when one of us is down and out. Hang on to Faith and Hope. I ask that the Lord grant you Peace Of Mind during this time, so that your worries can take a back seat. :hug:

present & living a dream
 

Hello pooh_ac…..and everyone
Johanna Banana checking in. I am enjoying the cool ocean breeze brought in by a late summer storm. I am thrilled to be at the end of the summer heat and great prospects of a no land fall hurricane season.

April & June were absorbed with home renovation work….I became stronger every day. By July I have closed out the sun and closed up the house to hibernate thru summer heat…I swam most every afternoon for a golden tan …stronger...down on my meds….all good. In Mid-August while boarding for a cruise I lifted a suitcase onto a conveyor belt and schlepped it and 3 handbags to my room….getting lost twice. In my own defense I did have friends set up to do this for me and they abandoned me in favor of the bar.

Anyway….I violated BLAST and WOW was I one sorry mess. Pain like…well you all know the monster….I was down for two days straight and when I did get up ready… set…make up on… let’s go look at this ship…..I could not get that darn door open!!!!…back to bed….tears; cursing; meds; threats to God, etc etc…the next morning I woke up and just knew I was on the mend….put my bathing suit on and went for a swim at 8 am…walked that ship and did all the basics…sleep/rest….before the cruise was over I found the lounge and had the greatest joy of dancing as if no one was looking for 2 hours. Doctor took a look ….SCS is fine….I aggravated my original nerve injury…so I am back up on the meds…back to basic BLAST…swim.....all will be well…

Last week I made a batch of habanero pepper jelly from peppers in my garden. I have two new baby birds (Cockatiels) this summer that have teamed up to be my jet pilots thru the house.

I am enjoying a wonderful sweet spot in my life….ever so grateful
Hannabannana.

Hey JOHANNA
 

Get some wet noodles......the swimming pool kind and beat those friends who abandoned you about the head and shoulders! :( How could they DO that??

Glad you are back to BLAST and managing the pain monster. I pray, yes I do pray, the pain monster be banished from you forever more.

Save me some of that Chili!!! I am hooked :Dancing-Chilli: :Dancing-Chilli: :Dancing-Chilli: :Dancing-Chilli:

Hey TK
 

Now you know.... I woulda come by to say Hi when in Dallas for the Bar. So sorry you felt so poorly as not to have been able to have visits. I was able to meet Fiona's hubby, and a fine gentleman he is!! That was way cool.

Anyway TK, back to you, I am prayin all will be well with you. Your events sound so heart wrenching. I am sorry this has happened in your life on this plane. May all of these things be well.

[QUOTE=tkayewade;1014279]I'm lurky lurky, also. I cant do much am very discouraged right now. :(

I was told I have some serious frontal lobe abnormalities and I had that seizure in April, one Friday and oe today. I can't get a neurologist to care. Right now since I'm no longer working for my former job, I have insurance with a 2400 dollar deductible. So, tats been terrible.

Just not a good time for me. I'm worried and lonely. Have a great day. Hope everyone else is okay.

TK

TK- if you are having seizures, you need a thorough evaluation and treatment - forget about the deductible. If you don't get this controlled through medications or rarely surgery - yuk - you could have a seizure severe enough to have permanent brain damage. Get seen. If you can't find a neurologist who will see you, just go to the ER. It will be really annoying but they can't say no.

Here but lurking
 

I am lurking also. School full time and family keeps me way busy. I'm feeling great though, need to get myself exercising more. I've gained so much weight since I got RSD almost 5 yrs ago.

Just been busy with work. Peripheral SCS is working good. Hope and pray all is as well as can be expected. Down to 30 mg opana ER and 3-4 roxy (15 mg) which is over 80% reduction since peripheral SCS! This group has a blessing going through my 2 SCS surgeries this past year. Thank you all!
