Thought I better take care of this while I thought about it!

For all the new folks this is the place we meet on Monday to check in, tell us how your Super Bowl weekend was or complain about another 6 weeks of winter so says groundhog Phil!

Let us know what the week aheads got planned for you in the way of appointments, tests, procedures, and surgery. Let us know if you or your family needs extra prayers or healing thoughts. Anything important or concerning to you!

So everyone stop in and say Hi and here's hoping you all have a great low pain week and that the groundhog was wrong since the winter is especially hard on us!

Hi Vickie. :waves:

We're going to get snow here, and have freezing rain as well this week. Speaking of the groundhog, I feel like my life is like Groundhog Day now with two little ones! It's been busy lately, that's for sure. Pain does restrict a lot of what I'm able to do as a mother, and so it does get tough.

Anyway, not much going on for my week besides work, diapers, and cooking, lol.

What Superbowl? I saw the beginning of 'The First 48' starring the Seahawks killing the Broncos. (BTW, I'm a Lion's fan so I wasn't rooting for either team and I know what having your team get murdered feels like so I sympathize Bronco's fan). But I was pleasantly surprised with Bruno's half time show and Anthony looks darn good with his shirt off (rhcp).

I have a job interview today at 12:30! Its my first one since I lost my job so I'm very nervous but hopeful... She really liked me during the phone interview. She even said "If you know anyone that is exactly like you, give them my information and I'll hire them too!".

I hope everyone is feeling well with low pain. I'll let you guys know how everything goes!

Thanks a million Vickie for posting this, as usual I forgot, lol. Hopefully this week will get better as far as that awful bug I had last week. Keeping my fingers crossed. Was up all night with a bad stomach, going to call the dr today for an appt for other problem too. I am going to ask for his last appt of the day in hopes of avoiding a bunch of sick people with the flu. I have had my shot but I am not taking any chances.

Not much of anything else planned for the week. I am going to go get prices for my daughter & set an appt to get new tires put on her car & get it inspected. That is my biggy for the week, lol.

I've also been down for the count with an URI. When just breathing is tough, and my body hurts from all the coughing, it makes doing much of anything exhausting.

This week I meet my onco for my score to discuss chemo, and then Friday my rad onco for mapping to start radiation next week.

I'm guessing because I've been sick for so long, I'm feeling weak, fragile, in more pain, and a little out of it. Can't seem to get my head screwed on properly.

Starting PT back up. Should be interesting. I get out of breath going up the stairs. But, but,....the good news is, I feel better than I did a week ago.

Meh.

Haven't posted in a while...been browsing though! Hope everyone has at least some low pain days this week!

Last week wasn't so good with the "SNOWMEGDON 2014!" down here in the Gulf...all it did was give me some horrible pain days...

Had my doc appt...and it looks like the arthritis in my neck is giving me some horrible pain in my shoulder. Ugh....

Half the weekend was beautiful, Saturday it was in the mid fifties and sunny, then Sunday was mid to upper thirties and raining, Sunday night sleet and snow, This morning 4 or 5 inches of that nasty cold white stuff, covering everything with a nice layer of ice coating everything underneath it all! Took me close to an hour just to clean it off my car! Half the time spent just leaning on the car, trying to wait till the back pain eased up, so I could scrap a little more of it off. More bad weather coming tomorrow night and then again this weekend! This global warming is really getting old fast! LOL

Once again, I'm in the hospital. I feel like I'm living the movie Groundhog Day.

Right now the focus in on my lungs. The autoimmune mess has caused Intersticial Lung Disease. From the CT scan there has been major changes in my lungs, but it's impossible to tell if it's pneumonia or a worsening of the ILD. The next plan is to do a bronchi so my pulmonologist can take samples to see what is really going on. I've been in a week and I'm ready to get out. ARGH!

Hope everyone else had a good week and are as painfree as possible.

Oh Rocckyd, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope they get you fixed up so you can get a break from the hospital and get home to that little guy.

Take care of yourself. :-(

Roc,

I'm sorry to hear that things have flared up yet again. It seems like you're not really getting a break!

If you are in a Groundhog Day loop, remember,....the cycle does eventually work out. So I'm hoping yours does as well.

Prayers to you.

26 days after the shots in my back I'm still in quite a bit of pain.

Went to my PCP yesterday for all my meds.Told him about the shot ,etc.

He said if I could find another Pain Management that he would send a referral if needed.

So I got that going for me,

good morning everyone. is it to late for a monday check in. lol maybe a jump start on next monday. anyway been kind of a rough few days. think i'm having another flaire up with my left leg. over the week end it was feeling pretty good. then just outta the blue the pain starting kickin in. we've had a lot of snow over the past few weeks so i'm thinking the shoveling my be contributing to the pain. it hasn't been a heavy snow, kinda a little fluffy snow which is fairly easy to move. maybe just the number of times actully shoveling may have done it. oh well time to relax and take it easy. hope everyone is doing well this week...

As a life-long New Englander, I can attest to the power of the snow!

Even when it's not slurried,...the act of shoveling is a total bear on the whole body, especially the back.
