Monday Check-In Day

Oops almost missed the check-in! Its falling down the page.

For all you new folks joining us this is the place we check in hopefully every Monday, occasionally the mods forget what day it is but it'll show up at some point.

How did your weekend go, what's the plans for the week ahead, appts, procedures,surgery.

If your having added pain or doing better.

Hoping everyone has a great week as we head into the fall and lower temperature except for Florida and Texas we're still seeing 90's for daytime and 80's at night. Lots of rain last week.

I need to get onto the Forums more! This is a fun thing. Monday check ins. Neat!

I'm jealous of QT's weather! I'll say that! But it's been mild here in California. I'm more up north and the north state is finally transitioning into Fall. It's so beautiful. All the trees are brown (and the sky is gray!) Good time to take pictures here.

I already am off to a bad start health-wise because I'm a college student who had to leave school on the first day to go home and rest. But, I also never tell people when things are wrong and that's what I'm doing now, so mentally and emotionally, off to a good, strong start.

I'm looking forward to attending my other classes. I hope that Wednesday proves to be easier. And I hope that everyone else has a good week ahead! (Again, this is a neat thread!)

Hi all,

Last Thursday saw my PM doc and everything stayed the same medication wise, but I had decided to switch pharmacies to a compounding one. They are only open Monday thru Friday, so we switched all of my meds to fill on the same day and I now get 28 day refills. This way my RX's will always fill on a weekday. I never knew I had that option before! You would think after being in PM since 2007 this issue would have come up before now, LOL!

Started a pain flare on Friday afternoon. I think it was a delayed reaction from being in the car so much on Thursday and trying to do some grocery shopping on the way home. The pain flare was even worse on Saturday and I was quite miserable. So I spent the time relaxing and resting as much as possible, also spent quite a bit of it online.

Sunday was much better pain wise. Spent some family time together as both of my boys did not have to work.

Monday visited my new pharmacy and got all my meds filled for the month. Previously I have had to go to the pharmacy as many as 15 different times in the same month. Since my old pharmacy was only 3 blocks away, this was never really a problem. The new pharmacy is 20 miles away, a bit of an inconvenience mileage wise but I am hoping with them being a compounding pharmacy I may be able to get a pain cream that will work for me.

Tuesday I have a very early day, need to leave the house by 6:30am to get to my Pulmonary Specialist appointment. Hopefully we will get a new treatment plan worked out for the bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.

The rest of my week will hopefully be spent resting and recuperating.

I did spend part of Sunday and Monday researching homemade cleaners online. I made my own laundry soap today and it has seemed to work really well so far. I plan to try and switch alot of my cleaners over to homemade to be more economical. A real bonus is that most of the items to make the cleaners are natural.

Hopefully others had a great weekend! Wishing all my fellow Healing Well posters a low pain week ahead!

Hello Fellow CPer's:

I had a quiet weekend watching football and spending time with the hubby.  I had pain in the feet and legs that nothing seemed to help.  Oh well, this too shall pass.

This week will be busy.  Tonight I went to gymnastics with my granddaughters and watched my 9 yr old granddaughter work out for two hours.  She is in competition gymnastics and goes three and four times a week to practice at the gym.

Tomorrow and Thursday, I have Dr.'s appointments in the afternoons.   Wednesday, my daughter and her girls will travel to Orlando to see a philharmonic orchestra perform for children. I am really looking forward to that.  Oh yes, I am going too!  

Tomorrow, I babysit my granddaughters in the afternoon, while my daughter goes to Clearwater to see her patients.  She is a home health social worker.  She used to work for Hospice, but now just works for a home health agency.  She is returning to work after being gone for about two years. (She had had a baby)  She is so busy, teaches homeschool and is a full time mommy.  I help out when I can by babysitting, so she can go to work a couple days a week.  It works for us.  Only time it doesn't, is when the pain in my lower extremities  is unbearable.  Then I need some time to heal.

OK that's my story and I'm sticking to it. lol.  Thanks for letting me share.  God's blessings over all of you, my friends.

Been super crazy since the end of August when school started. I feel like I'm going in 15 different directions. I'm back to having a hard time staying awake until at least 7pm.

Weather is a great here a little funky though. 70's all this week. Odd for October in Maine. Leaves are just starting to change around us here. Should be in full color in the next week or two.

Been a miserable last couple of weeks. Bomb threat at the high school and then the incident this weekend during homecoming. Stupid me made the mistake of what next. Yesterday the 3rd and 4th grade elementary school had a bomb threat. They spent most the day in the neighboring apple orchard playing until the K-9 dogs could search the school. I wish they would have sent them home instead of outside all day with no snack, lunch or bathrooms. I just can't understand all this happening in our little town. We're only a pop of 7,000 this time of year. about 15,000 in the summer.

Older kids are having a small issue with walking home from school. They usually stay after on Mondays for their afterschool clubs. Yesterday they didn;t stay and took the bus home. The girls are a little freaked out because it means walking through the school parking lot where everything happened this weekend.

No appointments this week. We bought a pop up camper and I'm still trying to get enough ambition to get it cleaned so hubby can pack it up for the winter. Just hoping that the craziness stops for awhile.

Tuesday is almost Monday

First day on the Site. For the past two years I have used even though my leg is still broken i figured it was time to branch out.

My weekend was restful, but my Monday was not my favorite. I saw my OS and we decided the next step is surgery, most likely by the end of the month

Other than that just another day forward

Nice to meet everyone
