DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[PrincessV]

V, I have had sciatica problems since my first pregnancy. This is so much worse. With the sciatica it has always come and gone. Rarely bad two days in a row. This has been three weeks of increasingly worse pain. How long did you sciatica last?

Honestly? A couple of months. No wonder I have no interest in having more kids! Some days were better than others, though, and the worst pain generally lasted no more than a week at a time. Please get it checked out - no self-diagnosing! After my recent experiences, I have little trust in Dr.s, but this kind of pain needs to have an answer. If it is sciatica, you're in good company, but if it isn't, you need to know what you're dealing with.

Good morning PEEPS!

It has been a long week already and it is only weds. That is not a good sign. It seems like alot of us are having a tough time.

Lets see...yesterday was better food wise than the day before but I am not feeling it this week. I need to get back at this. I made the mistake of trying to clean out my kitchen and I found a bunch of chocolate I bought on sale at Chrismtas time....those cadburys chocolates are heaven and I am really trying not to open them. If I do, the bag will be gone. I certainly cant eat just a few, and I could never just 'forget' they are there. (That story of the person with the candy in her desk had me feeling all sweaty and jittery. How could she just forget they were there or not eat them!) Anyways,I just cant bring myself to toss them either though. I find myself thinking about how much money I would be tossing away. I have issues.

I am trying hard not to catch what my DD has, but I feel it coming on. The aches have started and I feel generally icky. Took DD to the Dr yesterday and she wanted us to go to the hopsital. We were able to avoid it for now...but there is a nasty flu going around here and we are afraid she has it. There are schools closed here because of it actually. Is it just me, or when I was a kid the 'flu' was what you had when you were just sort of feeling icky? It wasnt something to be so scared of. I know I never had a Dr tell me I had the flu, and I never had a flu shot. It was more like my mom said it when she didnt know what I had! Anyways, the Dr gave us some happy medicine to make...I mean HELP her sleep. It has been nice so far, let me tell you. In fact the pharmacist joked with me about taking a few sips of it myself if I needed some rest

Hope to be able to post some happy stuff and some food success later today. Exercise sure wont be happening today with the way I am aching.

ACCOUNTABILITY: I was bad, bad, bad, bad yesterday. No exercise. Much chocolate. I feel like carp today. I need to remember how awful I feel today and how great I felt yesterday after eating well and exercising the day before.

today is: Do-Over Day!

Monday was mine! I have had a fresh start. I think it would be cool to have my computer tread-mill powered so I could get up and get moving! Imagine how skinny and healthy we'd be if we exercised as much as we DISsed. I'd be a size 5!

Ok, so I just got off the phone with SPoppins.

She got a call from hubby while we were on the phone. He is coming home to get her showered and to the ER. I told her to keep us updated. Hopefully, if someone knows later POST and let us know how she is.

To her!!!

Hey Stacey, I thought about you this morning while I wsa walking on the treadmill, in pain. I have osteo-arthritis, and it feels like a pinched nerve, pulled muscle kinda thing. The pain comes and goes, it hadn;t hurt in a few months and then a couple of weeks ago it started again. My doctors FINALLY diagnosed me after many tests and xrays, that was a year ago in December, my husband was stilled deployed and they wanted to give me all kinds of pain meds and sleeping pills, but I refused because I was the only one there to take care of my girls, and all my family was over a 1,000 miles away. If it hadnt have been for Kids Cuisine and easy mac, my girls would have starved, LOL. Anyway, after they diagnosed me, and the pain had been managed I started physical therapy to help strengthen the muscles around my spine. I lost weight, felt good, went to WDW without any problems. Then, we got orders to move and after getting here I put all the weight PLUS more back on, and havent been active in anything, until last week. Sorry for rambling, I really do have a point to make, LOL, and it is..... please insist that they double check their tests before diagnosing you. My doctors were ready to cut me open and try to "fix" whatever they thought was broken. They also mis diagnosed me with MS, AND lupus, because I have a family history of both. I was devistated for no reason, because the osteo is managable, caqn be dealt with without sugery and is not dibilitating , IF I do what I'm supposed to as far as excercise, etc. Also, PLEASE PLEASE REST, trust me, I HAD to pretty much be told not to get up for at least two days, and keep a heating pad on my back and hiney (the pain shot through my hips) if I wanted to heal enough in order for the physical therapy to help, kwim?

Yesterdays walk for me was painful, this mornings, too, BUT, I know I HAVE to do this, and you can too !!! As good as it feels to give to others, we HAVE to give to ourselves, too. It took me a LONG time to realize this, too.

okay, I just went and re-read this, and I am rambling, sorry. Just get some rest, make sure they don't dismiss you, or mis diagnose you, and remember, we are here praying !!!! You are a sweet, giving, selfless person, He is good to people like you.

Big Hugs, and sorry for rambling !!

Thanks Melinda. I just took another Loritab. I was very nervous about taking one last night because I took one last Friday and ended up throwing up a few times. But that may have been because of my migraine.

I always throw up in Loritab. Will never take it again.

 

[pigget74]

OK--DH will be home tomorrow. Help me think of a cute way to let him know the good news.

I will call and check on Stacey later today, but I may not be able to post again until tonight.

I go to my first appt. on March 7th. Just days before my DISNEY Trip. Will have to really consider if I still want to go to the Beach in July---already have plans with another family--we rented a COndo togther.

I do not plan on telling anyone here except for DH until after this appt. The longer I wait the better. Anyway--I have work to get done.

Ok, this is my idea.
You probably took a home preg test.. just take a picture of the ressult.

Then go get a valentines card and just stick it in the card.. and wait till it registers when he opens it..

If you dont want to wait til Wednesday. Go get a Missed you card or a glad you are home card.. and do the same thing...


Or you could have the kids each take him a piece of paper folded that says you are gonna have another.. or guess what!!

I dint know.. just trying to think of something cute.. maybe chinese dinner with a fortune cookie.. with the fortune being.. 2007 is very bountifuul for your family!! or I see a beautiful baby in your future.

Or confuscious say- man with big heart have big family... congratulations on expanding yours...


Ok, I am DONE>> Love ya/ mi

 

[eeyore45]

Pigget did you ever watch Full House? Jessie was told when his wife (what is her name? LOL) made a dinner, baby carrots, baby corn, baby back ribs.... too cute, but I dont think my dh would've taken that hint... maybe wrap up the pregnancy stick (+ means preggers)...

Stacey Glad you went to ER -

Spongiemamma Glad you're here, I was hoping it wasnt another infirmary situation!!

Utahmama You make me laugh, you make me smile, you make me a better me!! Thank you for sharing you!!

Duncansweetie You have a long way to go if you think that post was "rambling" I've got paragraphs to prove it!! Hang in there... keep our motto strong... WWPD?? What Would Peeps Do??? Dene comes in on Fridays and inspires us to do better - just that one step, knowing that for today, I'm going to do what's best for me. Instead of reaching for a cookie, reach for the computer, reach for a pen and paper - get it out!! One step at a time... and you are never alone!!

Dance BORG!! I had bought some Frango Mints on sale (of course!!) and forgot all about them - now what I did was to sit them next to the tv... ooooo they get all warm and melty, yummmm... and I just ate one... and dd just ate one... and then I told dh "chocolate is evil"... then I went to Chicago... dh comes and says, I did a bad thing, while packing somehow that box of chocolate fell on the ground... REALLY!!! THROW IT AWAY!!! Problem solved, the candy is in the garbage!!!

Be BRAVE - toss it... or look up the calories!! THEN TOSS IT!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Bee those are cute ideas!! It's easy to take a fortune cookie and gently pull out their fortunes (you could use tweezers) then put one of your own back in!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Stacey I suffer from back pain, nothing as painful as your's sounds but one thing that has made a huge difference is my memory foam bed, it's also stopped the dead arms in the middle of the night! You must, like everyone else has said, rest. Hope all went OK at hospital.

DisJo - Good score on the Dyson! You must give me details!

Sorry it was a UK website I just googled compare dyson and found the best one. Can you believe there's a $200 difference to have it in one colour or mixed.

pigget wow congratulations on your baby that's great.

dance2874 hope you don't get sick too!

Or confuscious say- man with big heart have big family... congratulations on expanding yours...

I just love that one!

 

[Bee]

Jo,

I have to admt.. that was my favorite also!!

 

[Bee]

It is snowing here!

I am washing my bedding today. I took the comforter out and let it Freeze dry I was told that the clothes are really sof that way.

Well it was Stiff and now I have to let it thaw out.
So we will see!!!

 

[harleygirl]

Pigget - Congrats !!

AHEM - I hereby announce that I willnot be ddrinking Peep water as it is contaminated with baby making hormones!! I will stick with Aquafina!

Stacy - hugs to you . My DH had herniated disk L4-L5...was in excruciating pain for 2 yrs, couldn't stand straight, sit long, laydown, walked with a hunch and had to put zippers in his work boots and gave up sneakers cause he couldn't reach tehm to tie them. miserable I tell you... went had axrays and MRI's and then went to sports med dr and had surgery and he is 98% now. Still has trouble from time to time with left leg/hip going numb...
This is not something that will go away...you need to take care of your self before you have permanent nerve damage. End of Sermon - love you worried about you

Bee - you are so special and you add so much to us...please love you as much as we do! We are proud of you, you can do this!!

Fidgie - prayers for you!

Hi to everyone else - I am stealth posting so gotta be quick! sort of (LOL)

[UtahMama]

Luckily, there's no "womb" at the Inn in the UtahMama house. I can drink all the dispeepwater I want.

I live by WWPD! Luckily, in my head, you guys NEVER say anything like "eh! One wont hurtcha!" or "We'll NEVER know!"

 

[Bee]

Hey pigget congrats! Do you have a due date in mind?

So far I'm 11 weeks.

Well I think the worse is over. I've been feeling good and no sickies! Yea!

So, I'll be able to tolerate being here more with all the food talk.

I have 2 day care moms that are expecting and we are all due within 4 months of eachother! I am going to lose my mind with 3 newborns!

Yes this just hit me last night after the other mom came forward.

And I interviewed a family yesterday that has a 3 year old and one on the way!

So, getting through school is looking very good right now.

Monica- all these babies... look at it like job security!!

Oh, and Sunday night I kept changing channels.. and I watched that train wreck called "Your the One That I Want" and Austin (one of the guys competing to play Danny in Grease) Sang your song..

He did a good job.. but, all I could think of was you!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Any word on Fidge or Stacey?
