Good afternoon homies

Well dr appt went as I thought today
He confirmed the pain in my hip and knee was arthritis and the bad thing is with all the meds he has me on he can't give me any kind of meds for it cause it may interact with my current meds any only thing I can do for now is take Tylenol and exercise and if not better in 2 months then he will more than likely start with shots in my hip and knee
Not looking forward to that but atleast everything else looks good lol

believe it or not St L, exercise such as walking will improve the arthritic hip and knee.
i had the knee shots before and it didn't help me that well.
i was told it would benefit me for about 3 months but really, only 2-3 weeks it helped.

the walking daily helped me more than the cortisone shots.

i don't have bad issues with the knee now.

hopefully you will feel better soon with warmer weather coming and when you get take walks.

hang in there homie!!

KY,
Glad to hear it was not a surprise. My DM has arthritis in knees, toes, fingers and not sure where else. I was with her when the Dr. put one of the biggest needles I ever saw in her shoulder. She takes aspirin for the pain. She always knows when a change in the weather is. Exercise is good and if all else fails, a glass of wine my be in order. Anyway, take care and I hope the pain is relieved soon.

Thanks and that's what my doctor wants to do if it doesn't get any better but I hate needles cause they had to argue with me to put a iv in when I had a heart attack and not to mention giving me insulin shots when I take pills
So not a big fan of needles and would rather suffer but I am still in pain but its not as bad when it first began and maybe it will keep getting better

 

[schumigirl]

the doughnuts went fast this morning.

I would have sold my soul for doughnuts this morning

Felt a little "delicate" after a cocktail night last night

It was at a friends house so I don`t really know what measures she was mixing........but oh boy did my head hurt this morning!!! When the drink just tastes like fruit juice you can forget there`s alcohol in them.

I could have sworn I did have a few non alcoholic ones too

Soooooooo...........very quiet day today. Good job really, it`s like the arctic here....howling gales with biting temps.......I`m along the settee with lots of juices, paracetemol, chocolate and not a lot of sympathy from my loved ones DH is being very smug as he was driving so he didn`t have a drop of alcohol!


St L .......continued good wishes to you ......keep thinking of your June trip if you feel low......it`ll be here before you know it

Hope everyone`s good

 

[keishashadow]

lol carole, nothing like a big plate of greasy eggs/bacon/hash browns and donuts to cure that sorta morning afteror so i hear

Keisha..........the doughnuts went fast this morning.

invisible donuts, no calories

as i told my DH when he landed in hospital for 1st time last fall: "don't stress, needles were bound to find you one way or the other, sooner if not later" once you're feeling a bit better the idea of needles won't loom so large kwim?

 

[macraven]

again, snow is in sunday's forecast for me.




i really believe that BonLee should get the snow.




i voted her the winner of snowfall earlier.

 

[schumigirl]

Tom made me a gorgeous bacon and fried egg sandwich for lunch.......nicest thing I have eaten for ages......then tonight we had takeout pizza......pepperoni chicken onions and jalapenos with stuffed crust........it was divine. I was starving!!! Kyle was worried his pizza would disappear for some reason He ate his rather quickly

So with that and the 3 hour sleep I had this afternoon ......I feel so much better


mac....hope you don`t get too much snow. I think we`re all ready for some better weather

 

[macraven]

schumigirl/Carole, i hope your have great weather when in NY !!!


the weather where you are now will probably change to spring once you return from your trip to the states.


when i can't decide what to eat, i always make a fried egg sandwich.
never can go wrong with that.

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks mac I`m not looking at too many weather reports for April in NY......I`ll check with my aunty before we leave, just hope in 3 weeks time it`s nice. Not expecting heat....but just looking for nice.

Think my mum is starting to get a bit nervous.....excited, but very nervous.

Our weather is unseasonally cold for us. It`s been a long winter.


We`re all sat watching MIB 3 tonight. Tom has a Bud.......I`m on pepsi

 

[Lynne G]

The storm is heading our way. Now saying about 2 inches and a hazardous Monday morning commute. I will be up early checking out the traffic reports.

DD did well with her game. What us parental units have to endure. The wind was so hard and cold I was bundled but wished I had worn warmer pants. How the girls run around with no jackets always amazes me.

Hope all is well and all are safe.

Shumi, hope you NY trip is great.

 

[macraven]

think we are going to miss the big storm that is coming from the west.

only expected to get 3-4 inches of snow.
middle of illinois will get hit the worse.


cold temps still with us but nothing new.




lynne, hope you survive the bad weather in your area!
