Renee, I hope your birthday is a good one. Give the guys a chance, they may surprise you yet. Just don't hold your breath though OK? Cuz like I told ya, they are men and when they get sick it's all about them!

Glad you liked your itty bitty tea pot! I was nervous about it!

Yikes! I forgot to update!

I spoke with Jim's doctor today. He spoke to Urology and they are going to have a conference meeting to discuss Jim's bladder. We should know something by the time we get back from my mom's surgery.

We also talked about this horrible pain Jim is having in his upper left shoulder area. Jim's doctor said he wants Jim to see the pain clinic when we come back. He is thinking some sort of shots in the area might help. Maybe steroids or cortisone would be my guess. It is very painful.

His doctor also suggested that Jim's ms could be exacerbating. He noticed last night his hands were very weak and he couldn't hold anything. Add all these symptoms up and it does sound like a ms exacerbation.

Who knows? This is to me, what is the most difficult thing about ms. You never know if it is related to ms or something entirely different. Does anyone, even the doc know for sure? Unless you have a definite dx of something other than ms, we'll never know.

He is still cleared to take the trip for my mom's surgery. The doctor said whether Jim is at home or away the symptoms will follow. Jim said he is fine for the trip, he's used to this crap.

REMEMBER!! my new year's resolution was to stay on top of birthdays .. and here, I've faultered ... but, it's fun - and it gives me a REASON to make something!

no water yet ... but, I'll get there! it's -10 or something .. and on the rise .. tomorrow should get up to 7 and 32 by Friday!!
we're having a heat wave .. a tropical heat wave!

Renee, Glad you liked the gift. Was gonna get you something else, but I couldn't pass those bears up.

Catch, I know dealing with stuff can be hard. Glad you're feeling more like yourself today.

Sandy, sorry Jim is not feeling well, but glad the doc gave him the "go ahead" for travel so he can be with you.

Barb, glad to hear you're okay. I've done stuff like that myself, so usually it's the ego that hurts the most.

Vonn, Good thinking about getting two lamps. Hopefully the water will be up and running again.

I feel like I got hit by a mac truck.

Thankfully the PCP can see me in the morning. According to the receptionist, there's a lot of stuff going around. She wanted to get me in today when I said I think it's now in my chest, but all the docs were booked.

Just relaxing and drinking my fluids right now like a good girl. Don't worry, I'll be normal again soon.

See if ya'll ask me for virtual kisses again....seems I got the whole board sick!!

Welcome to the board Catch, don't worry about being in a good mood,we often post here when we feel like poop and let our friends cheer us up! We all have our moments!

They won't even yell at you too much when you complain about your temps....ok a few of them did get a little hostile when I posted pics from the beach on Christmas and NewYears but it was mostly just Sandy

No beach pics until at least April! LOL

neener, San!
