Another lovely day in Oklahoma. . .

I've witnessed considerable amounts of people spinning out on various forums I read, you haven't come anywhere near the level I've seen from others. Unless you're getting mean spirited on the "Add a letter/drop a letter" game I think you're in the clear.

.....WELL I get mean spirited on the add/drop letter when folks use plurals....must be from my days as a writing teacher when I knocked 5 points off your hard worked essay for every time the word GET was used......GET will never be on the SAT test🖋🖋🖋🖋

Just checking in to say hello to everyone! I just returned from a week at my sister's home in southern Maine. We are in the same state, so the travel is "legal" without quarantine. Realistically, she hasn't been out of the house since September, when she trashed her back. She's been laid up so long that she's lost strength and can barely navigate the stairs in and out of her apartment (there are 26 steps) so she's been basically isolated. My niece is home with her, working remotely, and only goes out for grocery shopping or to visit one friend. I know, I know... not exactly a bubble, but worth taking the chance. Hey, I went to IN where there were people from IN, KY, CA, and OH. Yes, they thought I was crazy but I wore a paper mask much of the time while with others. Anyhow... lovely visit with my sister and niece. I love who my niece has become as an adult! We had a great time together, the 3 of us, going through old family photos and just being.

DH and I have decided we need some "away" time. Of course all plans are refundable, as we are watching virus levels everywhere, but we have booked a one-bedroom unit at a timeshare in the Orlando area. We are going to spend the time to ourselves, not going to Disney or anywhere. We are going to do takeout meals, enjoy the in-villa hot tub, sit around the pool if the weather cooperates or out on our screened balcony if it doesn't, and just relax. We WILL take our chances and go visit a good friend of DH's. Friend is older than I am, in kidney failure, has lung issues and is on oxygen 24/7. We want/need to go see him. I am struggling with the thoughts of going to see Orlando Ballet do Nutcracker. DD is a dancer, and Nut has been formative in our holidays for decades. OB is being very careful, you tell them how many seats you want in which section and they assign them so they can enforce distancing guidelines, but there is still the pre- and post-show crowd. We probably won't go- just too big a risk- but I want to!

I realized while at my sister's that I need to get myself back onto a regular schedule. This sitting around on my own time, working from home, can be as demoralizing as knowing we are in the midst of a pandemic in general. Students go home for the rest of the semester by Wednesday, so starting on Monday after T-giving, I am going to go into work every day. There is a TON to be done to be ready for spring semester, when we go back face-to-face (and I'm stressed about that), so I will haul my weary carcass into work from 10-2 every day, then go to the gym and ride the recumbent bike for an hour while I read. I have missed going to the gym, but even with sanitation protocols in place, distancing and limited hours with no locker room access, I still wasn't comfortable being around all those sweaty students and such. I am hoping that having a regular schedule and getting some regular exercise will help me feel some sort of normalcy again. I am not seeing a "return to reality" until at least the end of summer 2021, so it's time to do what I can to make my own little bubble seem more normal!

I'm also starting to think about Christmas. With reduced work hours and DD no longer dancing in Nut (not that she's living with us, but she's just up the street), it feels like there is plenty of opportunity to decorate and shop. OK, online shop, but still involves planning and organization. It's hard to believe that Chanukah is only 3 weeks, Christmas is only 5 weeks, from TODAY. I am all about the lights, so am looking forward to hanging more than ever. Why not? It's almost Christmas!!

I hope everyone is healthy and safe, and happy, too. I think we are only about half-way through the hardest part of the pandemic, and am thankful that there are supportive, friendly folks here on the DIS. Take care, and have a great Thanksgiving (for those of you in the US- Canadian friends can eat pie on Thursday in solidarity!)

Aww.. this best describes me for now.. I'll elaborate later, our Prime Minister addressing us soon.

Except maybe this too I live and have lived since 4 years of age in Ontario, Canada. My parents were both Newfoundlanders our roots are Irish, English, and Indigenous dating back to the early 1600's.

Following WWII my dad was stationed in Nova Scotia where my older brother (6ish years between us) was born. Then, the work search took us to New Brunswick where I ( a twin, sister died at birth) was born. Finally, on to Ontario where my younger brother (2 years between us) was born.

Maybe somebody here knows somebody whom is using or has used CBD Oil. I'm on week 3 of building up the components in my system. The results are great thus far.

So... why then you ask am I asking for input. Ok here goes I'm blitchy like our rural country internet signal... ok.. short in temperament (which is so NOT me ever.)

Dh is on this tad of a different ride with me. He hugs me tight when it's more like *****y than blitchy, and the unattractive mood dissipates.

 

[Micca]

blitchy

Hmmm...new word for me, but I assume it's a compound word in the same way "hangry" is? Glad you're getting some results from the CBD oil. Wouldn't think it would cause any blitchy symptoms. And even though I don't actually know you, it sure doesn't sound like you.

OK, OK, Now it's $10. Bucks.. sheesh!

FUNNY this!

Some CBD Oil users experience night terrors, sweet dreams, or something in between.

So.. here was mine. Our son in repairing our spindle railing, and making a gate to keep Summer on the deck had a difficult time finding spindles 'cause the house was built in the late 80's. Btw, gate also, works to keep some solicitors at bay too! Anyway I was in the Living room with Summer & Timbor (puppy playdate) when Timbor decided he was going to walk through an indoor spindle gate used to keep a dog(s) out of the cooking area of the kitchen. He literally stuck his head between two spindles, then his body parting the way for Summer to join him.

I called out to Dh but instead John Goodman appeared. I'd pointed into the kitchen. John stepped over the gate and asked What? I pointed at not one but two dogs with him.

He looked at the dogs, then the gate, and in my SON'S VOICE! said: Darn.. I had a hard time finding those darn spindles! Darn!!

I called out to Dh but instead John Goodman appeared.

I used to have celebrity dreams all the time. Two of my favorites were Mary Tyler Moore and Denzel Washington. I figure I must have been in show biz in a previous life, or maybe an agent.

Jane, I use CBD oil for pain management on an as needed basis. I normally use a very low dose, but after a surgery last year, I decided to increase the dose and use that rather than the pain killer prescribed for me. I had the absolute worst nightmares after taking the higher dose, so I dialed it back. My pain was still controlled and the horrid dreams went away. Lesson learned. Now I know my limit, and it isn't very high. The oil I use is hemp based, is non-intoxicating, and has less than 0.3% THC.

I find it difficult here in the states to find dosage information based on condition, weight, etc, so I just started low and went from there. Maybe Canada offers more guidance. Hope you find the relief you are looking for without any unwanted side effects.

A month ago I was assessed after my GP's referral. Then, a Teleinterview (Covid) with the supplier. The interview was 1/2 an hr. followed by my assigned personal counselor she spoke to me for about 45mins. It was advised that I start with .05 THC in the liquid gel capsule. The 1st week just 1 a day, 2nd week 2 a day, now I'm up to 3 which until January (unless I have an issue, I may call them at anytime) I was told I could use 1 extra capsule if needed, but not to exceed 4 in a day.

My side effects which I worked with have subsided. So far my BP which is advised I monitor (that it doesn't go too low) has returned to pre BP Meds readings. My sleep has improved sans just the above dream! My anxiety (white coat syndrome) and Dh's driving at times has greatly improved... lol. My digestion is so good that I tried removing an enzym (sp) I use to use named Beano, keywords now ('Use to'.)

My pain as yet is still accute, but they told me not to expect improvement until 4 months time. If need be then the dosage may be tweeked. I'm elated with the results even thus far.

Wow. You guys receive a lot more support than what I've experienced. I've only had two providers ever who have been willing to even discuss alternative treatments, and only one of those had any truly useful knowledge and advice. That's great that you have such help and guidance. I wish our healthcare system would get serious about integrating western and traditional treatments. So glad to hear you are happy with the results so far. Hope the pain relief comes soon.

Forgot to add, before starting CBD Oil they advised me to have my Glaucoma pressure checked; then when I reach my dosage limit have it retested. I was surprised when my Opthamalogist (sp) asked me if I'd started my Tumeric regime again? I'd abandoned it because I could not swallow them. That and a Medical Community red flag about tumeric about the same time played into my decision.

Anyhoo, long story... my stable Glaucoma from a year ago, now had lower optimum pressure. The only change was the addition of CBD Oil just two weeks earlier.
