Hi all,

Ok need to vent....dying lying in bed just took 10mg valium and two tramacet (like ultram with tylenol in it) and have my hot pack on my back and neck. Parents having a dinner party tonight. Mom at work, Dad worked, but do you think he would iron the table cloth or understand the pain it causes to iron for 45 mins.....table for 9!!! I guess i''ll be stuck down in the basement in pain and not eating dinner with the rest of them. I feel like hell.....pain 9/10 hope like hell that the headache goes away and tht the axert works on it...my eye always goes funny before so I can hopefully prevent the migraine.....Oh Lord grant me the serenity to see past this moment and think of good pain free moments.........oh to be in a hot shower not doing anything but sitting in the tub as the hot water relaxes my muscles...oh to be on my massage therapists table and have her work out all the trigger points....my face even hurts....numbness in eye, ear, neck and down arm....and they tell me I dont have tos.....my rear end I don't!! I guess I know my own body best, but those darn surgeons who give you the golden handshake and see u out the door as fast as they can....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

thanks for letting me vent....
hugs and prayers,
Victoria

Now that is why I buy wrinkle free clothes and a dryer Victoria - take care girl...PM me and we will have to get together soon!

((hugs))

I throw em in the dryer with a damp towel & hope for the best- LOL

actually just did that last week with a tablecloth.

I hope the pain passes soon for you.

I'm so sorry!! I know exactly what you are describing pain wise, I'm sure we all do !! It is misery !!

What would happen if you showed your Dad and Mom this thread, or another one on the forum ??

I have done that to show family that I'm not nuts, that just because I look o.k. doesn't mean I am !! I at least have an M.R.I. that shows/ showed my compression and a Dr. that is very understanding and has written a letter explaining the symptoms I experience if I over use my arms. That still doesn't always help, but I have finally learned to say " No, I can't do that, sorry!"

Hang in there!! WE understand your pain!! And please, take care of yourself, don't over do!!

((Hugs and Smiles))
G~

Oh what would I do without the care and support of all who are here!!!! Only you who have been here and there know the pain I suffer....still not talking to Dad .....he just dosn't get it and I don't think he does want to....can't accept that things have regressed. Perhaps he is upset for me and he can't cope.....how the hell does he think I feel!!!!!!!!

Anyhoooooo THANK YOU all soooooooooooooooooo much for your encouragement and love!!!!! I feel it really I do Thank God for all of you

Love Victoria

poor Victoria, you describe the migraine to a T. Hope by now the worst as pased for you. I know how it feels when something MUST be done and guess what? YOU're picked to be the one - regardless of what it will do to you.

be sure and let them see how BAD you hurt!
((((gentle hugs))))

You still IRON???

I thought that was a lost art... I haven't had a freshly ironed shirt in decades...

Bless your sweet little heart, Victoria... I hope you've recovered by now...

I think I would have handed "dad" the iron... hot, and not by the handle...


Much love and

what i do is grab the ironing out of the dryer while the dryer is still turning, i have not ironed in 10 yrs.
