to all!

Ida delivered rain here all day. Hopefully it moves on out because I have had aches and pains from the storm all day! We did see about 2 minutes of sun at 4:30 today.

DS is back at school. He still coughs a good bit, but the worst is over. He saw his pediatrician yesterday and she thinks he actually had H1N1 and could not believe that the 1st doc did not do the swab test on him to find out for sure. Now she wants him to get both flu vaccines soon. Interesting thing is that none of the rest of the family has caught this.

Sandy, bless your heart, your momma sounds just like my mother-in-law. Delivering news to her makes one want to visit Lynchburg before doing so. Praying she cooperates and benefits from the rehab time.

Beth I'm so sorry about your grandma.

Holly I three times a day, total for day is 50mg I think! he said something about side effects once you go much higher??!!

Nap did not work, I could not sleep, surely I am tired enough, I slept maybe the 45 min last night, and about hour in day today.. but I did lay down a lot today so at least rested!

I head back to work tomorrow, so I will talk with hubby on the med in morning or not... Holly, yes I asked about more of the baclofen.. he mentioned orally if you get higher it jsut gives more side effects and less effects on the stiffness... I do not know as I think I have read people here on much higher doses?? let me know thanks

About to shower and go pick hubby up at airport for 915.. it is only 10 min from here right in town. I am excited to see him and get a great big hug! snuggle and then bed for hopefully sleep! hugsss,sarah

Hi everyone!

Beth - Good to see you posting. I am sorry about your grandma and all you have going on.

Sandy - Prayers for your mom.

TKTC - Glad you DS is doing better. Phew!!!!

Sarah - What dose did they start you on with the Cymbalta? Cymbalta is one of those drugs they titer you up on. Maybe the dose is too high right now.

Vonn - 13 quilts is a lot!!! I am sure those on the receiving end will appreciate them so much as you do such beautiful work.

Debbie - Yahooo! You got your dishwasher fixed. LOL.

Another mellow day at my house. Slowly starting to feel better. Brain MRI preliminary report showed no changes in 3 years!!!!! I am thrilled with that news. They did not do cervical/thoracic this time though so I don't know about those.

Hope you all have a great evening!

Beth, sorry to hear about everything. You're in my prayers.

Trish, glad the MRI showed no changes.

Sarah and Barb, This no sleeping even though we're tired stinks. Here's hoping it gets better soon!

Pam, Glad to hear DS is better.

Sandy, Love Debbie's idea with how to break the news to your mom. Hope she continues to improve!

Everyone, Uber all around.

I finally got that second rewrite done. No touching that run away story line for awhile, LOL!

Tomorrow going to prep a canvas to try out my new painting style idea. Gonna take a few days to get that finished, but can't wait to try it out.

Then the cleaning and organizing that desperately needs done. This no sleep and feeling rundown has got to go. I'm half tempted to down some wine tonight to see if it helps.

Take care everyone!

Update:

Broke down and got some merlot out. Been a good girl trying to avoid ye olde alcohol since starting Rebif. Forgot how much I like wine, LOL!

Getting to the silly, giddy stage. Trying my best not to embarass myself.

taking a break ... and added some more quilted things and painted things .. I wish that I had a BIG screen to view these pix ...

looking at some of the hand-lettering that I've done on these large boards - is inspiring to me!! makes me want to get some more 4 ft x 8 ft boards and paint paint paint!! all I need is a 2-stall garage .. I think they sell kits at Menard's!!

Vonn, You go girl!

Love merlot, but my sinuses do not

So I called mom and she told me she didn't get her meds and asked if I would call the nurse. I did and they said she got them. I called mom back and she said they were wrong and she was shaking and feeling like she was going to have a seizure. We went back and forth and she told me if she has a seizure.... She left the last part off. In other words, it would be our fault. I convinced her to go show the nurse how she's shaking and she said ok but they didn't like her. I told her I'd call her back.

Get this, mom was right! She didn't get her meds because she was in therapy and she must have missed the med pass. The nurse argued with her and mom persisted. They looked and whoops, she didn't! Needless to say mom is not as confused as before and this is great news! Of course she made sure we all knew she wasn't losing it. lol

Oh, and she has relented to living with us. I think at this point anywhere is better than where she is in her mind. lol
