Hi everyone. :Wave-Hello:

We just got through our first round of storms. :rain: But on the plus side, my kitchen sink is totally scrubbed and gleaming. Bright and shiney, lol.

~~~~~

Sandy, thanks for the update on Renee. Prayers are still going out for her and for you. :hug:

Barb, hope you have fun with your niece when she comes. :)

Lor, I know how quiet a house can be when the hubby's away. I usually do chick flick nights when he's gone, lol. Otherwise I never get to watch them. :rolleyes:

Roseblue, Welcome :)

$hil, My DH just called (at 3:23) to say he's leaving. :mad: :o :(

Hey Finlady, Wanna come over with one of those chick flicks? http://bestsmileys.com/cool/5.gif

See Roseblue!!! It's easy to just jump in w/both feet anywhere. This board is friendly, so matter where you turn.

Hey everone!! Roseblue is a brand new member.

Sandy - Hope all went well today. Let us know how it went.

Renee - Big cyber:hug:'s. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Kay - Do you have an ark? lol. I have been saying my prayers for all those effected by the flooding as well as you and DH.

Rosebud - Hi there! Welcome.

Fin, Barb, Frank, & all others in the storms path - Saying prayers that you are all safe.

Lor - :(Sorry DH is going to be gone for so long. :hug:

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

I had more energy today than I have had in over a week. I spent the a.m. catching up on house work. Dang, I would have rather been doing something else with the energy but I had to catch up a bit. Refrig, cabinets, bathroom, & my bedroom needed some serious detailing that I haven't been able to do.

I'm waiting for DD16 to get home from school (she has the car again :eek:) so that I can get some grocery shopping done my way. I've been sent DDs last week and ended up with all sorts of junk food and some good food. Sheeze, when will they learn. lol

MRI report
 

I just heard from my neurologist. Yes, he called me at 6:00 in the evening. :cool: He said that my latest MRI does not show any active inflammation.:D:D:D He did say that the report states that I may have one new lesion since last Spring (2007), but it (the report) was not clear and my neuro seemed unsure also from looking at the images. So he is going to have them look at them again.

He stated that he would give me a week or so to decide if I want to try imuran. I have already decided that I do not want to try it at this point. So the other option is to repeat the MRI in 6 months. And he stated if that is my choice, we will just cancel my June appt with him, and I can see him in 6 months. So that is what I am going to do. Except I may also be seeing a new neuro by then.

Hi Roseblue! :welcome_sign:We had some thunderstorms with about an inch of rain today! It's good for the stuff I planted this spring. :)

Everybody:
I'm enjoying reading all of your updates each day. :grouphug: I'm not exactly a dynamo so I don't post all that much though.

I have to watch my blood pressure as a rule and it's been low lately. I called the PCP about it and went over to have it tested today. It was 92/58 and that isn't normal for me. So he wants me to cut out one of my BP meds and see if it goes up somewhat. I hope that helps with some of my fatigue, it's so bad that I can barely pry myself out of my chair to do anything at all.

Also, I made an appt for a scope of my esophagus and a colonoscopy on June 20th with a gastro doctor. I've had reflux for a couple of years now and it got bad enough for me to need Nexium everyday now. I don't think it's anything serious but at least I'll be checked out. I like the idea of getting both done in one day too. :) I just hope he changes his gloves between procedures. :Ponder:;)

Now how boring is that? My most noteworthy info is about doctor appts. :o

howdy all ..

made the road trip down to Beaver Dam yesterday .. and back today ... and I am 'p*o*o*p*e*d' to say the least ... LOL

had a great time ... and may have landed an apartment - 2nd floor with stairs .. but, I'll have to deal with the pain and do it ... it's walking distance to the craft store and quilt shop ... what? do you think I'll never be home? oh, go figure!! LOL this is more of a smaller one and no w/d unit and no garage - so more downsizing (selling my 12" compound miter saw with stand .. brand-spanking new!) ... but I can go to the local laundromat for awhile (yep, another reason to 'get-out')

I'm excited ... those of you that received pillowcases from Santa last year - well, I may have 'landed' a contract with a dance/skating studio for 'girly-girl' type pillowcases .. .so, I submitted my quote to her (well, she asked me to work out prices) ...

okay - I'm blabbing :Talkative: because I'm tired ... and back on my loveseat (well, my bed for the last 7 months) ... can't sleep flat ... need head propped up .. and can get an Rx for that! LOL (can't afford the mattress tho!) ... so the armrest on the loveseat has to do for now!

be good, be happy, be free ...

should learn Italian .. so I can go to Venice someday ... ;)

Hi Rosebud! Welcome!

Hi Wiz! I have just learned from experience that it is a good idea not to put off those tests. I was supposed to have my colonoscopy 6 months ago. I also take nexium everyday. I use to take prilosec but graduated to nexium after steriods last year. I'm not sure about the 2nd glove; you know that recylcling is pretty popular these days. Yuck! Just make sure that they keep you asleep!:eek:

We are in for a second round of storms. Right now the worst one seem to be North of here. We are under a tornado warning until 2:00. I am just starting to hear the thunder so I had better get off of the computer.

Vonn, Hope you get an apartment you like.

Just wanted to pop in and let y'all know that I'm trying to keep up with this thread and even though I don't post that much I'm keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
