The "I gotta do something to pass the time"pre-trip report

[mickeysmyboy]

Ooooooohhhhhhh Vickey!! Come out, come out were every you are!! I hope your all safe and sound!

 

[vdarrell]

Safe ...YES
Sound......Questionable?????

Sorry it has been hectic here on my end.
My fibromaylgia has gotten the best of me lately that added to the abuse the steriods have had on me in the years I've been on them.
I start physical therapy tomorrow and have it 3 x a week for the next 2 months. Plus my work load is really hectic I have added on an extra patient, so my days get away from me before they even start.

 

[vdarrell]

I'm still around but as I stated it has been a hectic week and just barely able to catch my breath.

Hope all is well with everyone.
Talk to you all soon.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

It's this weather it plays painful games on my already abused body it's just one of those things I dn't like but have to live with.

But my schedule is so packed right now that it is making it harder to deal with.
I leave out in the morning to face my little patients and have to put on my happy face and then when I get home it's really hard to try and keep it on for my family so I usually wait until they are all asleep then I fall apart both physically and mentally.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Oh Vickey!! I'm sorry your having such a hard time! You really need to get out of the winter!! Just know I'm thinking of you and sending you lots of prayers and

 

[faerieprincess]

Melissa i think we need to move Vickey somewhere warm!


Vickey i'm so, so sorry you're having such a hard time. i wish i could do more than send virtual and but please know i am thinking about you and hoping things get better VERY soon. i'll try to keep my TR rolling right along to help keep your mind busy

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Melissa i think we need to move Vickey somewhere warm!

I definitely agree with you! More Vickey!

 

[faerieprincess]

How are you doing, Vickey, are you feeling any better? i am thinking about you and sending lots of your way

 

[vdarrell]

I'm feeling a little better but the fibro. is bothersome and doing therapy is not helping yet.
Work schedule is loaded. I barely make it through the day.
But with friends like you guys sending best wishes and hugs my way helps alot.

Now I'm off here to go and read your trip reports.

Hi everyone
I miss being able to get on here and post every night, but it seems as if my time is not mine any more.
Have been going to therapy now for 2 weeks and have lost 2 pounds, but gained tons of pain....I know that is what has to happen before it gets better but it doesn't help knowing that.
Good news is I got DH to join the wellness program at the "Y' at the same time I'll be there so hopefully he will loose a little of that "done lapped over" gut.
And as for me I need to loose the gut and butt along with firming up the ta-ta's.
I do like the therapy pool except for the fact that during the same time I have therapy there is a group of elderly women who call themselves"the senior squatters" and they are moving faster and moving parts that I can't move now.
The youngest in the group is 77 and oldest is 92.
My therapist and me are at one end of the pool doing our routine and they are down at the other end whizzing around like there is no end to there energy.

I do have some good news we got our passports in the mail yesterday so now we are even one more step closer to our cruise. I just wish we didn't have to wait till October to go.
Even though I am going onto the cruise forums they are not as fun and interactive as the Dis was in planning. But as you guys know I like to plan-plan=plan. So gathering all the info for everything is okay,but not as much fun. Guess we should have taken a Disney cruise.

Hey Melissa and Sare want to cruise with us...that would be so neat.


BTW...we are getting more snow today and the weather has taken another turn to the cold. Where is summer??????

Lots and lots of hugs! I hope the pain goes away soon and so does the snow! Will the pain get any better with better, less cold weather?! I hope so and I hope spring comes soon no matter what!

I'd love a cruise! But something tells me my DH would flip his lid if I told him "Bye honey, going on a cruise! See ya in a week!" Plus he's still very nervous about what the economy is going to bring to the business, still so far so good but ya never know!

Don't leave use for too long! We miss you!

 

[faerieprincess]

Well, i would love to travel with you, Vickey, but i don't think you'll get me on a cruise anytime soon.

i'd spend half the trip hanging over the side!

i hope the therapy gets less painful and the weather less yucky!

 

[vdarrell]

Energy..Energy...I need some Energy

My house is attacking me, I haven't felt like cleaning house in two weeks and it is starting to get to me

Therapy in the past has helped a little but this is the worst my fibro. has been in 6 years,don't know if it is all weather related or not I think stress has alot to do with it too.

DH and I are also worried about what is going to happen with the economy, one of my stressed out problems is we had to help bail my little sister out of a major financial situation and it has been a strain on us.
That is one reason I took on extra patients at this time.
It's times like this that I feel guilty about even thinking about taking vacations.
Even though we are planning a cruise we have till August 8th 2009 to cancel.

So until I can take another vacation I need to keep reading your TR's so I can travel along with you all.

 

[vdarrell]

I'm still alive.
Doing okay in physical therapy but don't know how much help it is offering my fibro. But it definetly can't hurt my ability to try and loose a littel(LOT) of weight.
After all trying to loose weight for our cruise and have 7 more months to get it off. Steroids have taken control of my body and now I'm trying to get the control back.

Here's hoping all is well and enjoying their plans for another Disney Trip we are still keeping the option open to go back again soon.

 

[faerieprincess]

i'm VERY glad you're still alive.

i am too, just barely it seems, but i know soon the medicine will kick in and i'll feel better! As long as i don't try to talk i can forget how sick i am - it's only when i try to talk and end up squeaking that i'm reminded! my BF, sympathetic man that he is, suggested i should wear my mouse ears i'm squeaking so much!

 

[vdarrell]

I'm back but just barely. Need to vent please bare with me.

I am doing better in therapy I've lost 6 lbs and my DH has lost 15lbs.....why do men loose more. Well of course he isn't on the meds I take.

But somehow I have managed to get a severe sinus infection that is turning bronichal...can't breath and I feel crappy all over.

And we have had some bad moments lately, we got news that my nephew who is a twin and married to a twin 7 months ago just miscarried twins.

As if that wasn't enough my youngest son just got downsized layed off from his job with no expectations of his job ever being brought back.


I need some magic from DW. Would love to be there right now just to get away from all these gloom and doom.

 

[faerieprincess]

Oh Vickey, i'm so sorry you are sick and that things are tough right now

That's very sad about your nephew's twins

Your son's job being cut really sucks, i really hope he is able to find something else quickly - who knows, maybe a big opportunity is ahead for him!

i hope you feel MUCH better VERY soon Vickey... i am thinking about you and sending lots of your way
