PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 13

[imsorry]

No, I go see him Friday. I'm thinking he'll order an MRI. He seems to think it's one thing, which from what I'm reading, there's not much they can do, so that leaves me where? I'm actually hoping it's something else because if it can't be fixed surgically what am I supposed to do? I can't stay off my feet all my life

This appt is for matters a bit further north

OOohhhhh, gotcha!

 

[paigevz]

Hey Shug, I could start another thread......... Everyone already thinks I have issues there.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

No. I prefer to remember her the way I remember her. I'm not into the religious part and I don't know the family. I'll stay with the children.

Sorry you're having a hard day as well.

That makes sense. I hate funerals. I've done so many in my lifetime I can't even count them, so unless it's for an immediate family member, I don't do them anymore either. And you know the kids need you. You must be a fantastic teacher, Paige... you always think of what's best for your kids.

 

[Tiffer]

4's!

Shug, I didn't read back too much...but something is a happenin, so to you too


WHER IS TEVA??? One of the Mega Millions winners was a ticket purchased in Southern NJ!

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Hey shug... maybe if we all hug you hard enough, your problem will be forced to resolve itself.

 

[LiteBrite]

4s, what a horrible violation of your home, your belongings, and most especially your friendship and hospitality to these kids. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

 

[PixiePop]

to everyone..it looks like a lot of people need them today.

Its a terrible violation and truthfully I'm very surprised of how hard this is affecting us. We truly are concerned with our safety, especially the kids. Kids these days don't just hit you. They shoot, they stab, they set your house on fire.
These kids are facing felony charges. At least one is being tried as an adult. I doubt the felony charge will stick, but still. A couple others are already on probabtion and face going to YDC. I can't imagine everyone is going to let this slide. Its a scary situation and after the call from the school today I'm concerned even more.

I wonder if my DH could get transferred to another division. We have sister companies around the country.....



Shug-what's wrong? I must have missed something.

 

[Shugardrawers]

Ummmm extreme clogging in the plumbing Horsie and it's getting too painful to be embarassed about anymore. So I called the plumber today.

Ooooh. I hope they can clear that up quickly for you. That's painful!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Hi guys! Eating lunch at my desk - thought I would say Hi - Shuggie - sorry you are having issues - ouchie!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Bye guys - back to class I go!

 

[Mickey Fliers]

Anyone else having a crappy day? I certainly am....

Our verbal orders to Tampa aren't going to come through and now we are back at square one with where we will be moving this summer. UGH!!

Evidently, DH needs to have taken some 3 month course at the War College in order to take this job (this is a new requirement). Well, he hasn't taken it and he won't have time to go to Newport before our orders are up.

So, back to the flippin drawing board.

Tig - maybe I will be coming your way afterall.

Just a quick hello before I eat my lunch. Got back from the EMG...wasn't exactly the time of my life, but it wasn't horrible, either. I do have nerve damage in the lower part of my leg. He's not sure why--probably either because I hurt it without realizing it or of the way I sit (he asked me if I sit with my leg crossed, which I sometimes do, but not a lot). He's going to run some blood tests, but expects negative results. I go back to him in 2 months to see how it is and to deal more with the migraines. He said the foot problem should be gone at that point.

 

[L107ANGEL]

So this is kinda good news Tig?

I'm glad you went. So that's good news, right? At least it's something that will be gone soon.

I always sit with my left foot tucked under my right leg... I've done it for years. I had blood clots that nearly killed me at the end of my last pregnancy... from my right leg. The doctor immediately asked me how I sit at home.

Shug isn't!
Sorry Shug. You know I love you.

OK, I just cancelled the Med cruise.

But I booked 4 nights at POR for me and the kids and then (drumroll) the 7 night Eastern!!!! I am feeling very nervous that I am doing this alone. I've taken ds on a trip to Disneyland, but nothing like this. Dd is likely to run off...I hope she is 40 inches. I am not afraid to get her a pair of high sandals for Splash and Soarin. She would love them. She really wants to go into the Briar Patch!

 

[bigmerle1966]

No school for lots of other counties today (including yours, right Merle?) but we have it.

No school for us is right. And it isn't bad out there at all but I guess better safe than sorry.

Tig, good luck today . The one and only time I drove in DC I didn't realize the traffic lights were on low poles on street corners rather than hanging above the street like in all of suburbia. I lost count of the number of red lights I drove through because I just didn't see the light .

Let me tell you when I drive in DC that totally freaks me out. And if there are ones that are close together that's even worse.

In memory of my friend, one of the most gifted teachers I have ever known.

 

[disneymom3]

Tig--I did not know you were having an EMG. Those are kind of icky but hey best I can say is I lived through it. That was one in my long line of tests too.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Oh, Paige, I don't even have words to express what I'm feeling.

Shug, glad you made the appt--yes, it's embarrassing to explain to a dr, but they've seen and heard it all.

4's, I don't blame you one bit for wanting to get out of Dodge.

My big treat for the EMG was going shopping and what did I buy? A bra from Victoria's Secret. One of the fancy wireless ones that I've read about. We'll see what my girls have to say about that purchase.

Tig - maybe I will be coming your way afterall.

Well of course I want you moving here, but hopefully you'll get to go where you want to go.

So this is kinda good news Tig?

Yes, it is, and I'm glad that it was conclusive. I was concerned that the test wouldn't find anything. When the neuro dr was doing the strength tests before he did the EMG, one of them was me lifting my leg and holding it up while he did counter pressure and pushed it down. Fine on the right leg/knee, but when he tried a couple times on the left one he stopped and looked at me. I said, "I'M TRYING". That must have been the damaged nerve....

My DC driving horror story was when Zachary was a baby--must have been about 7 months old, give or take a month. He had bad asthma and he spit up a lot so the ped wanted to have a milk scan test done on him (since reflux can make asthma worse). Basically a baby drinks a bottle of radioactive milk and they are scanned over the course of however long to see if they are refluxing. The problem was that we had to go to Children's Hospital in DC, I'd never driven in DC, and I had to do it with a hungry child (he had to have an empty tummy so he would drink the radioactive milk). I got lost, he was screaming, and I didn't think I'd ever find my way there. I don't remember why we didn't leave our other kids with someone so my DH could have also been in the car, but I guess that was in my "I can do anything" phases.
Oh, and yes, Zach did have reflux, but it wasn't the cause of his asthma. He did grow out of it, however. Waiting for that to return when he's older.
