good morning all, interesting thing happen to me on my way to the forum, my back is completely gone, I can hardly move some time during my sleep I threw it out, this really bites, we are talking enough pain to have me thinking of a visit to hospital, this so stinks

Renee glad you are happy,

"Did you ever have to make up your mind
Pick up on one and leave the other behind
It's not often easy and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind... "


todays song by the lovin spoonful with john sebastian

so here I lay sore as heck and cant move for squat and I need my meds and I s desire a nice hot cup of fresh ground coffee brewed till you can smell it at other end of house that sweet nectar, the aroma lifting you off the ground as it travels through your mind.....Juan Valdez I am so there......

Frank, that stinks!! What the heck, on a weekend, too! Take care of yourself...

Slept well Yay!!...but legs are definitely back to babies rockin' in the calves and tightness in the hammies...going to do stretching exercises every day now...I took some baclofen before bed last night...guess I'll add that to my daily pile of pills...
I gave myself my injection in my hip yesterday...boy did it bleed...and hurt! I no like shots

Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday...

Frank ... YOU said it .. now, go before you get worse!! don't be goofing around with back issues now .. (okay - yelling over ... and I don't yell) ...

nothing much here ... just putzing and cleaning ... and organizing ... in less than 4 weeks it'll be next year ...

start your RESOLUTIONS list .. .come on, now!!

To those who are sick or in pain and gentle and a truck load of get well soon vibes. I'm including pets with their owners here too.

Looks like someone needs to start an Insights part 3 thread real soon. My, my we are a gabby bunch.

Gonna put this on the food forum too but... I'm looking for a tried and true soft molasses cookie recipe. If you have one would you post it or PM it to me? Thanks. I'm sure I made them before but I'm not finding my recipe and DD is going to make DH his own personal stash of them for Christmas.

I think deb has one but she is still sleeping, I will ask her when she awakens

Frank, That stinks! Sorry to hear about the back. Vonn's right - don't fool around with back issues. That's how my MIL ended up needing surgery (of course she waited for years after her first issues with it started so surgery was the only option by the time she sought help) Take care of yourself.

Everyone, all around.

Hope all of you feel better soon. Frank, take care of that back, it doesn't make it better if you force it to do things. lol

Good morning!

Frank, I am also sorry to hear about your back issues. Hope you can get some relief quickly.

Debbie, When I was injecting copaxone, I also had problems with my hips and arms. Actually the only place that did not hurt was my tummy -- lots of extra padding there. I don't really have any advice except to maybe to try adjusting the depth of the injector when you are doing your hips.

It is snowing lightly here and cold. BRRRRRR! I do not mind the cold weather if the sun is shining, but it is also dreary. I heard that the roads are icy, so I am planning on staying home today and doing some Christmas stuff -- cards and wrapping and reading a good book.

Wiz -- Hope your kitty is ok.

Kelly -- Feeling any better today? Did you get a flu shot?

Vonn, Hope you are having a good day!

Renee -- Wow! Have fun; you deserve some after the past year.

ironic Barb I was afraid to inject in my tummy and it ends up being the easiest spot to inject, use the swabs to clean injection site and ice does help

Wow, I finally got someone to help me get the furniture moved around so Mom can have her own TV room way down the hallway from the Olhipie and I in our living room. This also gets her ragity old chair and pile of stuff...lamp stand and huge walker out of the room. Best part...will now have room to put up the new tree!!!

Moi...I'm 10 hours from having the winning bid for that ornament we talked about...so it will be on the tree with all the other birds!!

Hope all have a great Saturday!!
