Something About Nothing..........#5

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

yes Todd...i saw the candy corn in the store today

yep all the H'Ween candy is out here too ... unfortunately by the time Halloween finally rolls around, I'm sick of the stuff

met w/podiatrist today, big old shot in the foot & fistfull of happy pills for foot that's been acting up (only 30-something days to go till trip - bad timing). Funny thing is i had problems for years until i went to wearing Crocs, never had a problem since. Went to a fair over labor day & pulled out leather pair of walking shoes & tromped around...soon as i got home knew i was in trouble. I'm doomed to wearing crocs the rest of my life . Dr said they're close to putting him out of business ; yet he still recommends them before the Rx insoles

I'd never had a problem with my feet/ankles until last October's trip to Orlando. On previous trips my feet were always so sore at the end of the day, so I decided to break down and buy some crocs as everyone said they were the greatest thing since sliced bread ...

Well, I wore them our first full day there - our Universal Day - and wore them all evening too (almost 12 hours). Unfortunately by the end of the evening, I could barely walk on my left foot - my ankle and top of my foot were in extreme pain. I ended up having to buy an ankle brace and wear it for the rest of the trip to keep my ankle/foot somewhat pain free.

Three months later, I still had some pain in the foot

Foot/ankle is fine now, but I only wear my crocs for short periods of time and wear my flip-flops and running shoes most of the time on our trips.

More drama(well not really)
Got a call from the school nurse that Chrissy had a headache at around lunchtime. Went over to the school and gave her liquid Motrin(bubble gum flavor that she likes). I don't know what's up with that girl


Janet- sorry to hear about your feet
Glad you got the cortisone shot for the pain

Hope Chrissy feels better, too.


The crud is amok again--Tori, DD15, has had the stomach ick since Friday evening. Her, brother, Luke, got ready for school this a.m. and then promptly was ill. So.....yeah school germs....at least it's at the beginning of the year where, hopefully, they're not into anything too complex.

And Janet--kudos for trying crocs--I haven't and don't plan--they just don't look comfortable--give me a pair of SAS and I will wear them for the next ten years and be happy.

OMG, that is horrible...so sorry to hear...weird how they work for some & not for others...probably all in my mind anyway yet, whatever works. If i know i'll be walking more than a few miles, i do wear my sneakers w/ortho inserts

San Antonio Shoe Company SAS--really good walking shoes that seem to last forever. I saw a SAS outlet at Myrtle Beach, but hubby conveniently forgot to take me

Evening all.

For some reason, my blood pressure is way higher than normal. Normal for me is 126/84. A few days ago, I checked it at Publix--137/92 (apx).

At my chiro appt today I had it checked again--135/102 (apx).

My doctor tells me the normal bp is 120/80 and that most people have hbp...but don't know it. I'm on medication for it and the meds keep mine down. Lots of people's bp goes up when they visit a doctor's office so I wouldn't be too concerned but if it stays up there go to the doctor ASAP. I found out the hard way.

 

[KStarfish82]

I agree with Todd. And you have had a lot going on in your life now DM, so that could very well be why it is up. Keep checking on it and if necessary, see your Dr.

 

[the Dark Marauder]

I'm going to schedule an MD appt. I will be very firm: No Pills. None whatsoever.

And I'll get info on the DASH diet, which has been recommended to me.

Night night, I need rest.

 

[roseprincess]

HI all-
Chrissy is fine. Thanks for your concern, homies
THere probably is stuff going around. I'm sure I'll get a call in the next day or 2 that DS will have a headache at school. Wouldn't surprise me.
The weather got so cold here in the last couple of days or so.
Probably why everyone is getting sick.

Update on my dad: He has sciatica(he's had it on and off for a long time). THo the nerve is hitting into the arthritis in his knee. Doc prescribed some other med for him than what he was on yesterday. My poor dad, had to be in alot of pain for his b-day. What can anyone do? He should be feeling better in a few days.


DM- I don't know what the DASH diet is, but keep away from foods with lots of salt/ sodium. ie. snack foods, fries, some frozen meals have lots of sodium.


Have a good night everyone.
I guess I'm locking up for the night?

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

DM ... glad to hear you're going to see the Doc!!

 

[donaldduck352]

Morning all!!

DM-watch that HBP,when at the doctors it will tend to run higher like metro stated.Its called the white coat syndrome..

I was bragging a few months back how good my is.Now I'm on meds for it.
Just took it (got a home machine)134/91.I think my is do too trying to get the kids moving in the morning tho!!!

If you want to stay off meds-cut out the sodium and stress and see if that does it!!Good Luck!!

sleepless night because of huge nap yesterday and phone calls from 2 upset mothers that my lovely son had forwarded on a chain letter--sent it to everyone in his contact list but parents--it had the words if you don't you will die--well the one parent freaked--hence phone calls.(the one mother called because her son doesn't have texting and is always using his phone and he had said he was sending out a chain letter so my DS thinks that is where the chain came from, but of course her son denies any involvement) Not defending him, BUT, that is the type of messages that these stupid middle schoolers are always sending each other--and the originator of the message was from a preacher's kid.......

Maybe they should go join Orlando Mommies or whatever that group is.......

You can tell these kids over and over not to do stuff and they know it all......

Brand new phone for him is now taken away until Christmas......gotta learn a lesson

Please pray for guidance and support--thanks

it's the end of the world & I feel fine , doomsayers coming out of the woodwork both for the atom crushed in France that 'may' create a black hole & suck our planet away (not before my vacation ) & 911...why do peeps feel the compelling need to share their angst?

wondering if the preachers son is sim doing some pot stirring? yet, as kids will learn (the hard way) it's usually not the one who instigated trouble who gets caught & punished. i'd agree & say it's overkill (guess that's un PC terminology too) on the ma's part

in this day & age u have to have zero tolerance, yet kids say stupid stuff all the time, fine line between a chain letter & freedom of speech violation imo

off soap box

DM take ur BP the same time everyday for a week & do an average reading (preferably early in the am before any caffeine, exercise...otherwise a resting reading is best), good luck

Have a grrrrrrrrrreat day all

Hello all ,


Well another busy day here . Not working today been busy working though and that is a good thing.

Not looking forward to the rest of the week here in NYC. I know many people are tired of hearing about 9/11 but in my personal life we have a few suvivors that are family and friends . We also lost many friends and have a hard time dealing with it as they are dearly missed. So for all that are in need of it here is a .


My kids are all nutty here getting ready for the last swim weekend at our pool club and it looks like rain . .. hopeful for some mummy dust for good weather .

My DS is having his 7th birthday next week . Yes he was born a week to the day of 9/11 and it was a wonderful and horriable time all at once . Anyhow we couldn't get his birthday at the bowling alley so we are having the party on the 30th. I am busy planning for goodie bags . Does anyone have any cheap ideas?

My girls are good except the middle one today is 8th grade graduation photos and well as with any 13 year old girl she was up early playing with her hair . I just hope she is happy with the out come .

Gotta finish cleaning bbl

Hi homies-

DD is driving me nuts
She has went down to nurse's office about 3 times today- saying her stomach hurts. Did not pick her up from school b/c we are feeling she is wanting to get out of school. She wasn't running a fever,etc.
Have any of you homies dealt with this kind of behavior with your DD?


minniejack- praying and PD for guidance and support

Mary- as of goodie bags, I buy the bags at a party store and buy the little toys there also. I used to fill up the goodie bags with those puzzle rings and just the little cheap plastic toys. ALso pack of gum and the little snack-size chocolates. Hope that helps


Have a good day everyone

Party city has premade gift bags I believe they are $2.99 each and have some cute stuff in them. Grabbed a WALL E one for my nephew and he loved it. They have all different types.
