Things are o.k. This baclofen has reduced my pain a lot, but it has got me very loopy, unsteady, etc. I am hoping to adjust to it soon as I need to get back to work. It has a contradition? with my nortiptyline, which I am supposed to go off of, but insurance is jacking me around with formularies for a change, have been waiting since the 9th. urgg!!!! In the mean time, it's effects are increased, and I have to tapper off slowly so I am in limbo till doc and pharmacy get it straight with the insurance. I hate them. So loopy lady little pain the best of two evils. How are you doing with the job and such? Jen

Forgot to say, thanks for that lovely visual. It was priceless. Jen

yeah a short clip to funniest home videos . i also got cravin pizza so much the 2ed time i was wired up ha i put a slice in blender ... to bad there isnt any smilies for heavin .
for real tho Jen, I understand how they ..insurance and docs too sometimes are a circus with many hoops and rings of fire to jump threw before you get anywhere or get any good help... . do so hope you will not have to wait any longer haning in mid air since the 9th earns you the title of super hero of the month. pray you and "THEY " get things squared away in the next week here. remeber when you stand up .. it is , 1 -ready, 2- steady 3-go.
Have a good week . all the best.

oh Jen i will get back to you on how i am doing soon . many thankyous for askin... check back here later

so I work at hotel on beach side.. very busy with race week here right now then college spring breaks then bike week . any how work dose not know about my face and my neuro stim. I had to tell my boss today that I will need part of March all of June and July off. they said okay as long as I come back to work for them in Aug. I manage the house keeping teams , sometimes I clean rooms too but mostly I inspect the rooms when they have been cleaned before they get rented out. do reservations/phone work...
okay cant wait any longer a Mom has to brag now . I have 2 girls . my oldest has made try outs for teal sound (tealsound.org if you want to see what it is and where they will be click tour at top ) so I/family will be traveling cross country meeting up with her and visiting other family all summer.
never would of thought when I put belly up to the stero speakers when I was carring I would end up with a drummer . she dose 5th bass drum here at highschool but will be doing 2ed base on the drum corp. and her sister dose keyboard /piano but she draws better then she plays piano I think. how is you boy.. 7 right? dose he do any sports? my oldest is also starting pitcher on softball . she just started her season no game yet tho.
now I bet you were not prepared to have such a long post and I am sure I bogged you up a bit.. Sorry .
how dose your boy do with you havin t.n. and the pains? You know kids love their parrents no matter what... I bet when you dont feel well he is a big helper too. Make sure you take care of yourself ...Moms need to stay the best we can You know we are all super heros under cover.. ha ha. Thanks so much for the chat Jen. For you,I hope the whole week is low pain ,warm and you have have many smiles all through the week. Warm regards, and many blessing to you and yours.

arghhh i have tryed to post this 5 zillion times already!!!
Hi Jen It is Sat. I think ...lost track of time anyhow I wanted you to know you popped into my thoughts a few times. I hope your friday was constructive
and you had a helpful ,informative visit with new neuro. My friday TOOO crazy and TOOOO close to tornado.
Let us know how you are doing and how friday went when you can.
Thanks. Painfree wishes .

Scary, glad you made it o.k. Neurosurgeon visit was very informative but, I would be his first MVD on his own. Has done 25 in last year as an assistant to doc in INDY. I liked him, but not ready to put my brain in the head of a novice. Spoke to another doc though who suggested trying to see if a fast acting numbing medicine would work to let me know for sure that the nerves were blocked so I am going to see a pain doc to see if it's possible . Has anyone ever heard of that? I bet Fla is going crazy now with SuperBowl. I wish I were there. My howntown Bears are playing. Anyway, I've had terrible headaches in back of my head. Took some tylenol tonight and it took the edge off. I think I need new pillows cause my head hurts something awful in the back lately, could be stress. Well, have a safe tornado free weekend. Why doesn't Fla have better warning system? Here we have signals and loudspeakers that go off all the time when there are sightings, spring and summer a lot. It such a terrible shame. How close were you? Jen

nothing can stop a tornado... how close you ask ..close enough to have family in bathroom.close enough to swear a train is coming threw house. close enoguh to have lady 2 house down stay here cus her house is gone. have to show i.d. every time comming in or out. curfew at night.
okay i best stop before i am angry and swear and get banned or something.
fema . government . but local police and regular people so kind!!!!!
yes pain doc cool to think about seeing. how are the meds helping.
got work hetic time here. stay painfree and happy. I will be on when i can.
all the best pal.
