Cindy, my little sister is going through the same thing. He's going, he's staying, he doesn't know what he's doing. He's tired of arguing, blah blah blah. I told her he's lucky it's not me because I would show him the door with clothes packed. I couldn't live with someone who threatened to leave and then stayed. They have three little girls under the age of 8.

Anyway, the weight is definately back and the pants are tight. Time to buckle down before the holidays where you know food will be everywhere!

Judy, hope your feeling better today. We're getting ready to head up to Wisconsin for a Cubs game. We'll leave after my cousin's surprise party tomorrow. He's leaving for Iraq. :-(

yes, it's the Jewish New Year again. thanks for the well wishes.

divorce is very hard on kids but it's better they're away from the fighting etc.

i've just been doing wk/e stuff. everything's done but the laundry; 3 loads to do. i'll do it tomorrow. and, i'm watching the game.

how's DM anyway? oh DM...

Happy New year Judy.:hug:

Things here are good...weight is stable. I have to keep approaching
food in a consistant manor. It will be there, I dont have to eat it all.lol:)

thanks sox.

i'm still going up and down with my wt.
but, the walking is good.

i stayed in again today. just not much motivation but did get stuff done around the house.

have to be out the next several days. the temp dropped 30 degrees here. it's snowing about 6000 ft and denver is 5280, a mile high.

speaking about mile high. the bronco's won last night. yay!

my pain is tolerable but still higher than i would have hoped. the dr said i could take 2 muscle relaxers, but i can't because i want to sleep all day. i'll keep an eye on it for another couple of wks and call him if needed.
what i'm really feeling is my MS. i can tell that my body just doesn't want to work. i know i have to push myself to be active. use it or lose it kind of thing. but, it's getting harder to move and stay moving.

hi guys,

i had my pool therapy today. an hr doing exercise in the pool.
i came home and slept for 2 1/2hrs. it's all i can do to shower off and get dressed again and get to the car. it's exhausting.

i have 1 more scheduled and then need to find an outside pool to do the routine.

my coccyx is hurting again and i'm finding it hard to sit.
i guess i'm feeling a bit down.

Im sorry you are feeling pain in the coccyx. It makes sitting at the computer
a real pain.....do you have a donut? I used one when I broke my coccyx
during child birth(10lb2oz). I remember how much it hurt so :hug:s to
you.

Feel better soon.:hug:

Argh, I just wrote a huge reply and lost it. Jim is doing well and his bumm is healing nicely. He is supposed to get his Botox injections on Oct.22nd. and he's looking forward to it. The Botox lasted about two months and he said two months is better than nothing. Maybe once he's had a few injections it will build up and last longer? That's the hope.

Judy, I am so sorry your hurting. I wish we could do something to help. :hug:

Sox, I need to do the same thing with food. haha Let's be sure to encourage each other once the holiday food starts.

Cindy, Sarah, DM, and anyone else checking in, hope your all doing well. :grouphug:

hi guys,

i'm doing ok. pain is better but still more than i want to handle.
i had my massage today. my legs were bad again. hamstrings and calves like ropes. and the bottom of my lt foot even had knots in it. my ankles feel tight too.

i came home and laid down for a nap and the arrhythmia started. lasted 30". i almost got up to go to the cardiologist and it stopped. wouldn't ya know it. just can't catch the darn thing. my pcp said on the holter test they caught a run of atrial tachycardia but it was nothing to worry about. easy for him to say.

tomorrow will be a better day.
sandy, i'm looking forward to jim's legs being better for long periods of time.

hi troops,

i didn't go out today. i did laundry and took a shower and washed my hair.
that way i'll just go out tomorrow.

my pain is better than yesterday.
the massage helps a lot but i have big time rebound pain. go figure. then, the next day i'm better.

my friend cathy sent me flowers. wasn't that nice? :) just since i've been down a bit. they smell so good.

hi guys,

what have you all been up to?
cindy...how's the bot?
sandy...how are you? how's jim's legs?
DM...are you still camping? how's your headaches and your neck?

i kept a dermatology appt today. and, i finally found a new chair. they just delivered it. seems very comfortable so i'll see if i can sit at the computer for longer than 30 min's.

nothing is new. life is pretty boring right now. i guess stable and boring is a good thing.
