So glad that your pain is better. Is your ankle area the site of your cancer? I'm trying to be a skinny butt, too. It is not easy, but I can't eat when I'm typing!! billie

hi billie,

i was dx'd with breast CA last yr. i had bilateral lumpectomies and radiation and as of now i'm cured.

had my massage today. it helped and hurt, as usual.
i don't think those shots did a thing. i'm still feeling nerve pain into my butt and into my legs. i'll talk to the office on mon but i'm not inclined to do this again wed as scheduled. they'll have to convince me that there's a really good reason.

i should feel better tomorrow. that's usually what happens.
have a great wk/e everyone.

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA but things are a tad busy around here. I may have mom talked into coming to stay with us but she's holding out. She said moving, packing and transferring banks is all too much for her. I can understand that!

Jim had botox last week and so far no results from it. The doctor said it could be three weeks before we see any benefits. She shot up the muscles that cause the legs to cross over one another and the lower calves.

I am steady in my weight, no loss, no gain but I have developed some muscle definition from building our pond. Miss Muffin Roll is smaller so that's good.

Hope everyone is having a peaceful weekend. It's our 25th dating anniversary today but nothing is on the agenda. We're being lazy butts and we're OK with that. lol

:grouphug:

sandy...congrats on your anniversary. i hope those shots help jim. this may be a crazy idea but could they cut any nerves? would that help deactivate some muscles?

maybe AMN should build a pond somewhere :D

my housekeeper came today. i love the apt the 1st wk when she comes. i try to keep everything just so to make it last. pain a bit better today.

Hi, all, lookin' good all around. Hi, Billie! Glad you could make it!

I have had a houseful of people these past few days, we're down to the serious inventory and sorting process of the estate. It's a very tight, emotional time and we've run the gamut from hysterical laughter to bitter tears.

We ended yesterday with a huge feast styled after the one our parents did for us every late summer.

They're still here and there is still plenty of work to be done, but they'll all go back today and I'm kind of looking forward to some quiet and better food choices!

My brother has been making me drink Crown Royal like it's going out of style. I'm the victim here!

glad you're getting things more settled cin. i know how much work it takes. i'm glad you've got help.

i've got some pieces of the puzzle in. i spoke to the injection dr's nurse today. thank goodness that this wed's injection is OFF. i don't think i would have gone ahead anyway. because i've had all this pain for days she says that (duh) this injection into the facets etc didn't work. that means that ablation wouldn't be the answer either.

that leaves us with the x-stop procedure. i printed a big article off of google on this so i need to read up more before 8/24. that's when i have an appt with him to review all this and make plan B. i don't want to rush into anything but even she said this procedure is relatively minor and can be very effective.

so, my friend and i are going out to lunch instead on wed. at least we'll have some fun.

Hey all! Hello Judy Dear! Just catching up around here, as haven't been online much. It's Summer and the days are just flying by. We have been camping so much, but that's a good thing.

Sorry about your ongoing pain Judy, but I do think I can relate. I have been suffering for months w/agonizing neck/head pain. I went to a new Physical Therapy place yest and boy oh boy, did the therapist give me a workover. He had me squirming, but in a good way. After looking over all of my reports, etc, believes my neck was injured in my fall from the kitchen chair months ago. He has magic hands, that's for sure. I go back Wed and am excited to be able to have hope that he can relieve some of my pain.

I am not anxious to see Summer slip away. It's humid here today, but I swore I would not complain about it after Winter kicked my tail last yr. I cannot even fathom the thought of cold nasty weather.

AMN is bot footing it all over the place and it gives me a good feeling knowing that medical science is, indeed, working to improve the lives of others. With the injections, Judy~ I had several yrs ago and am under the impression (w/my experience) that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. My Dr wants to do inj's in my neck if the PT doesn't help, so I'm crossing my fingers.

Sandy~ as usual, Jim is in my thoughts, as I could learn alot from him. Seems like he gets so many lemons in his life, but he continues to make lemon meringue pie. (heck w/the lemondade) Well, have a good one all and I'll check in again.

P.S. AMN has stinky feet.

hey DM. i hope the PT helps. wouldn't that be grand? :D

AMN must have stinky BOT feet. i'm crack'in myself up. :D

went out today for errands. it's very hot here.
pain manageable. but i sure can tell a difference after those injections last wk. i feel the nerve pain stuff in my butt and legs.

well, carry on all.

Hey, Dingbat! My stinky feet wouldn't bother you if you'd quit kissin' 'em all the time!

:ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO:

Careful there, Judy, you're getting dangerously close to dingbatism. :eek:

Well, my eating choices have improved tenfold since I got rid of the knuckleheads. They make me eat way too much, way too often, and way too poorly! Okay, we don't eat poorly, but that's part of the problem.

I'm still alternating between fat and skinny girl clothes, I swear my fat is shifting or something. Ugh, muffin top comes and goes like MI weather and I just don't get it.

I need a manicure.

had my massage today and feel loads better. maybe it will last thru the wk/e.
tomorrow i'm taking a friend to the hospital for guess what? back injections.
saturday i'm having brkfst with lenora. i hope she can make it.
and sunday rich might come over. :D

company means i have to start folding my laundry and put it away.
