Friday Roll Call

Hello everyone

Yeah!!! It's Friday!!!  I'm at work and it's so quiet right now. 

Well my back still hurts.  It's better than yesterday but still sore.  I took some muscle relaxants last night and fell asleep before 9pm.  I also ended up leaving work at 5pm last night.  I just couldn't wait to get home and relax.  I can't wait to relax today either.

I have no plans this weekend.  I am staying in and not doing anything.  Except for the normal house cleaning.  I am staying in.  I can't wait till Spring. 

I hope everyone has a nice day.  I hope goes by fast. 

Morning Illinois, it was a rough night the boys really understood what was happening with Xena when Daddy took her out to the car.  So there was a lot of crying but I think everyone is doing better this morning.

Glad it's friday, this week sucked and I'm glad it's over.  Besides sleeping in tomorrow I plan on taking the kids to Starved Rock and hike a bit.  Sunday our middle child has his first Tae Kwon Do Tournament which he is very excited about.

Have a nice day everyone!

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I hope relaxation takes care of the back Crystal because that is no fun.

Working today, then we are having our 3 year old granddaughter for the weekend.  We will probably watch the DVD of the kids' play at some point.

I KNOW Spring is coming because I heard birds singing when I opened my door this morning!!!!  What a GOOD sign!  It made me feel like there IS hope.

I have been doing well getting back to exercising.  I have been walking about a mile each day at lunch as I listen to my book on CD.  That and the almost 4 hours of dancing at the concert on Wednesday night should help remove some of this weight.  At least I HOPE so.  I have been asking my boys to bring my bike back up from the basement, but so far, no luck with that.  Maybe this weekend.

Everyone have a spectacular day!  At least the sun is shining!

Good Morning.

Crystal, I hope you start feeling better.Use a heating pad on that back of yours.

Carol M. Hiking at Starved Rock soundslike fun, but I think I will wait until it warms up. At least to 75. Another place you might like is Spring Lake, here in Streator. It's easy walking.

I need to finish picking up the house today, wait for the repair guy to come for my sofa, then go to Bloomington for "Annie". No other plans for the weekend.

I hope everyone has a great day, safe safe, stay warm.

Huggers,
Lisa

 Good Morning Crystal and Everyone!

Crystal, I hope the back starts feeling better soon.  I just love getting older and having all these new aches and pains --- NOT!!! 

I am home again today.  The legs are still bothering me.  My blood tests came back negative so teh mystery continues.  I have another theory that may be a possibility.  I did start a new med for my depression and one of the side effects can be muscle weakness.  It is a long shot but who knows.    That is the only thing that has changed in the last few weeks.  I will go in tomorrow and have my yearly labs drawn early to make sure I am not vitamin deficient in anything  

I plan to work on my taxes today.  May do some laundry but not sure on that one as stairs are involved.  I AM planning to enjoy my time off work.  

Have a great weekend! 

My friend at work had problems with her medicine for depression.  She started getting muscle tremors and it turned out it was a side effect.  She had to discontinue the medicine.  I forgot the name of the medicine she was on and she's not here today or I would ask her.  So I think you could be right.  Check it out ASAP. 

EDIT-  I just text my friend.  It was Abilify. 

 This is Cymbalta.  It lists muscle weakness as a side effect.  My psychiatrist is on vacation and I dont get to see my regular doctor until Monday.  To be safe, I took myself off of it this morning and went back to my old meds to see if I would notice a difference.  I hope my hunch is right and this is what is causing the problem.  If so, the remedy is simple.
