John,

Your surgical spots are healed right? I would figure any pain you end up with is from your muscles tensing up?

I miss him, too.

Megan,

Idk what's going on inside. It could be muscle tension I guess.

If you did one of those moves where your body goes all crazy to try and stop yourself from falling, you easily could've strained some muscles. I would think you should expect some discomfort.

Megan,

That makes good sense. I HATE my reflexes.

I feel ya. My body is on high alert all the time, so everything is always sore and tense. I have a pinched something in my neck and it's miserable and it's simply from tension.

Massage help?
Posted 1/15/2015 2:13 AM (GMT 0)
Usually it helps a little, but this last one did squat. My chiropractor points out this spot to me everytime as if I don't feel it, but nothing seems to help. I even have a mild muscle relaxer and it doesn't help. My son is 30 lbs and stil desperately wants to be carried, so hauling him around is no help.

I wonder if that bulging disc is still in my neck...

I don't think I could lift him.

You have a bulging disk?

Seriously, this child is heavy. My posture is just awful from carrying him around.

Hey Park,
I've conquered my fear of flying but when my kids were small and I had to fly with them I was a mess. I won't introduce the fears I had to you because you don't need anything new to worry about. :)

Do you have xannax? I always took one before bed when flying and another about an hr. prior to the flight. Bloody Marys during beverage time morning noon or night flights :)

I had anticipation anxiety but once on the plane with all my vices I was always ok. Always booked an aisle seat to avoid claustrophobia.

I wish you all the best- you'll be fine! Soon you'll be soaking up the FL sunshine loving every minute!

Thanks Weary! I have Xanax and access to bloodies, as well as an aisle seat! My husband will be on baby duty and my only responsibility is to act sane and get to Florida! ;-)

Megan,

Car wreck ten years ago.
Posted 1/15/2015 2:41 AM (GMT 0)
Oh, John....I'm sorry. That's awful. My ex's mother was in a bad accident and it left her in constant back and neck pain. That's awful.

Megan,

It bothers me very little. I did get cellulitis from it. BAD.
Posted 1/15/2015 2:44 AM (GMT 0)
Oh yikes!!! Ahhhh! I had cellulitis from a bad IV this summer. Scared the you know what out of me!

Megan,

Mine was in my ankle and went up my leg. You?
Posted 1/15/2015 3:05 AM (GMT 0)
Wrist up just past my elbow. Can we say terrified?
Posted 1/15/2015 3:11 AM (GMT 0)
We can. I think my foot got ran up under the pedal.
Posted 1/15/2015 3:14 AM (GMT 0)
Oh John! Yikes! Mine was just from something yucky entering my IV, but still...I feel safe in hospitals and now I have mild IV anxiety. I've had two since and watched my arm like a crazy person for days after.

I'm so sorry you went through that!

It didn't occur to me until years later. I had two puncture marks where my foot meets my leg atop the ankle an inch apart.

I said, "I'd like to think I'd realize if something that big bit me."
Posted 1/15/2015 3:19 AM (GMT 0)
Ha! You're funny.
Posted 1/15/2015 3:21 AM (GMT 0)
Sweet talker.

Call 'em like I see 'em.
