Liz we went very hot to it being mild both triggered pain and migraines. I am so sorry.

Jan this is the reason I will not go to PT. My rhemy has been trying but I will not go. She now claims they will come to my home. She just has to say I am house bound most of the time which I really am.

We heard from my brother in law yesterday he's in the last couple of weeks of radiation and chemo but it finely hit him hard. He has no taste buds left plus now he can't swallow. He has lost 10 lbs since Friday. They put him on a fentyle (so?) patch and increased his pain meds he can't even get water down. They don't want him to drive himself but I can't do it everyday or even every other day. I don't leave the house much right now his sister is going to help with the rides but they only have one car and they have kids so we will see how this plays out

Haven't seen Kiya or Christina on in a while hope all us well with them.

Thanks Gus for the picture

Gental hugs to all

Cake, my Mom had in home therapy. It worked out really well. The lady who came was an absolute gem.
I hope you try it.

I'm sorry about your BIL. Some places have services where a volunteer will drive someone to get their chemo. His sister can check with his case worker and request it. It would be a big help.

Christina gave me a thanks in my post about the Board of Directors so she's out there. I miss her, too.

Hopefully we'll hear from Kiya soon and everyone else. I am always amazed at the wonderful people who post here.

I woke up this morning to two little black eyes staring into mine. She had climbed up my chest and was staring at me just like Snoopy looks when he's pretending he's a vulture. She's so cute! I still haven't found my eye drops.

I reported the situation at Physical Therapy. I've been promised it will not happen again and that no one will take it out on me for reporting it. I've decided if anyone says something to me or treats me badly, I'll leave immediately and report it to my Doctor.

i really liked in-home PT, cause i didn't have to get up and drive after~

[cakeladie]

Good Jan I am glad you reported it

Cake, my Mom had in home PT. It was great. I'm with Gus about not having to drive afterward.

Oh Gus, I love that picture! I wish I were there enjoying the great outdoors. Thank you.

I just came from Physical Therapy. Everything went really well with the staff. There were no reprisals at all and the Slimy Man said little or nothing and left early. That was good.

My back is so inflamed that it is very hot to the touch. She said I've got deep inflammation and not to use my heating pad on it.
I see the Dr. on Wed. I guess I'll do as little as possible for the next few days and stick with the recliner as much as I can.

How are all of you? How's your pain? What's going on with you?
I love you all!

my pain levels have been pretty tolarable today.

then again though, I didn't actually move much. so..

[Kiya]

I've been caring for my mom full time for the last 36 hours or something. She's in the hospital and I've had to do a lot of walking and driving. She's been thru several tests and... I dunno. I'm tired, triggered, in pain, exhausted, wired, in danger of engaging in risk behavior, in DBT, talking care (sort of) of two households...
Yeah
Thanks all
Hugs

Shattered, I'm so glad your pain is down.
That is great news, indeed. I hope you have a great weekend.

Kiya, I'm so sorry you're going through this. You have to take care of you first before you can take care of your Mom. I know it's hard. I remember taking care of my Mom and it's hard, hard work. Please be kind to yourself. You are important!

in a lot of pain today.

half of me wants to scream (that feeling when you're screaming from the inside), and half of me just wants to give up with trying to get things done- at least for today

Shattered, I'm sorry you are in so much pain today. It's ok to give yourself a break until you can recoup.


Gus, thank you for the daisies! I love them.

Belle's appointment for surgery is scheduled for the June 9. We didn't make it. She went into estrus today. Eek, indeed.

[lizardlady]

Jan, check with the vet's office. It is possible for them to spay her while she's in heat, but is more complicated. Some vets will do it and some won't.

Shattered, sorry you are hurting so much.

Gus, thanks so much for the pretty pictures you post. They are day brighteners!

Thinking of you Kiya. That's a rough position to be in.

Cake, how you doing hon?

[lizardlady]

Pain level is at background noise level, but am exhausted. I slept 11 hours last night and feel like I could go back to bed. Had plans to drive to my Mom's house and take care of some things there. Am going to spend the day vegging instead.

[Gus1234U]

i Root for Vegg'ing~!

[Gus1234U]

orchood you just hang out ?

[January]

Thank you, Liz, I'll call on Tues. I didn't know that. I had to fix some chicken for Belle today. She has been refusing to eat anything, but she liked that.

I hope you get some more rest. You must really need it!

Gus, thank you for the pics. Your captions are so cute!

[lizardlady]

Slept 10 hours last night. I knew I was tired, but didn't realize how tired...
