O-Kay!!!! Let's go!!!

Oh DM, I'm sorry about your poor little hip! I am so proud that this time you called the Doc right away.

(her hip pain is probably from all those years of bumping and grinding in the club catching up to her!)

The Dr. will have you right as rain in no time!

Don't say rain, Twippy~~ We are camping this wkend. Bet this wkend I'll spend more time inside the RV than out!! We have reservations and I refuse to stop living b/c of this dang hip pain. I waited for SPRING for SO long.
*as we all have*

I am calling Rheumy's office when they open today.

Hey, how did you know I used to go to the Roxbury?

Well, the Nurse called me, told me she had talked to my Dr and said that I should take the Darvocet or Tramadol b/c they can't give me another roid inj *already knew that* I asked her if I should see an Orthopaedic~ she said to give it another day or 2, call them to come in if not better.

I decided to go get groceries. I have waited all dang, cold, nasty winter to be able to get out, so I took some Ibuprofen, which is a no-no for me. But, who cares at this point?

My nurse friend called me and told me that since I have severe Osteoporosis and have taken a few falls in the past few wks, that I should consider a hip xray if it's still throbbing by tomorrow, as it could possibly be a small fracture. No way do I want to know that!!!

The Ibuprofen tears my stomach up; the Darvocet makes me dizzy and the Tramadol constipates me. Hey, we need an icon for "constipation"!!

So, if you see a wannabee Princess stumbling around, bloated and holding her tummy, w/a piece of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her shoe~ please pick her up cause it's ME!!!!

I'm hanging in there and going camping come He77 or high water, even if I have to lie in my Princess camping bed and eat bon bons.

Thank you all for the PM's and posts and help.
I'll get through this... *just aggravated*

By George, I think a nap is in order.

With everything you have on your plate, you seem to have a good outlook and sense of humor!

Keep us posted. I am sending you some soothing vibes and pray that you get some relief soon. Hopefully your stomach will handle the ibuprofen.

DM,

My gastro doctor told me about Miralax. He said it's the best thing for those with irregularity.

Maybe you could take that along with the Tramadol? I hope it's not a fracture!

Huh? Whuh?

She said NAP, not NAPPY, get the cotton out of your ears!!!

Well, DM, I think your Rheumy is putting you off...you've been in pain a bit too long after that last 'roid shot!

I'd be calling him tomorrow and asking for an appt for an x-ray of that hip or a referral to an ortho.

Stand up and be heard!!!

Sorry, you are standing up!!! (my mistake )

I'm sorry that you're still in pain DM, but do watch what medications you take with that tummy and kidney to take care of. I hope it eases soon.

Well, I've got the RS 41 Stimulator on right now.

Get your minds outta the gutter; it's an electrode/tens unit. I've got two electrode patches on my hip anda it feels good to have it stimulate the nerves/muscles. Hopefully, it will feel better tomorrow.

I love the poo icon, Anne! Now, that's funny!
