WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHMMMMYBACK, LEGS ARMS AND KNEES ALL HURT. GOOD GRIEF  Zumba, oh my go****hought well you know its latin music and I dance to latin music Yeah right!!!! Well didn’t take me long to know that I couldn’t keep up with my sister and  about 3/4^th of the class. So I just sort of did my own thing in time to the music lol but even an hour straight of that is enough to wear you out lol or it was me. Maybe you young kids could do it but hnmmmmmy sister isn’t a young kid but she has done this all her life or most of it anyway lol ....anyway that was my lZumba class would have to live here for about 2 months and go with her everyday and maybe I might get some of it done by then....

 

We were going to leave here on Friday but is suppose to be cold and cloudy here Friday so will probably wait and leave on Saturday... it is suppose to be 65 Saturday....

When we leave here we will probably stay over night about half way to El. Paso. And then hope as we go farther and farther it will get warmer and warmer. It was 73 today about 11 in Tucson...so we are getting. Closer and closer. 

 

 

 

SUSAN::::: Yeah we are really having fun on the trike.... tomorrow we are probably going down to Houston to see the grandsons that live there....we haven’t seen them in a year ....they are grown young men so don’t know that we can catch them to see them ....

 

 

BEC:::::::: I really do have a bit trouble falling asleep a lot. When I sit down and get still for more than 20 minutes I go to sleep. Don’t feel sleepy when I sit down there but I go to sleep anyway.

I think that someone could make good money if they would come up with amounts and foods that we need to eat. But from what  your saying it sounds like the Atkins diet all over again.

 

 

SUSIE:::::::glad you like it in onederland.....yes it does get expensive especially if you buy a whole new wardrobe with every size. Believe me you will go down a lot lower than an 18 so don’t buy a lot in that size.

Oh yeah some people say their shoes get to big.

 

 

 

JANET ::::::: I sure am glad that you got to go to the Doctor. Hope you let us know what happened. Ok????

 

 

SUGAR::::::: wish you were here with us and then all 3 of us Darnell girls would be having a good time.

LOL I don’t think I can fall asleep on the trike. Im sort of wedged in there. Especially if im all bundled up with all these clothes on....

TALK TO YOU ALL LATER.////////////////

LOVE AND HUGS

GOD BLESS

Hello, here I am. Screen went out on my laptop, having trouble with the dizzies still, having touble with back pain since the wreck, baby has had a urinary tract infection, I could go on but, enough excuses. LOL

Baby should get her cast off on Friday morning, we can hardly wait.

Just want everyone to know you are all in my prayers. Eventho, I am not on the board, my heart is with you all!!!

Hang in there girl..you are doing better than I would...lol...love ya.... vesta

Morning Mo, I was hoping for warmer weather today but no such luck another front is on the way.

Susan I have thought about making clothes, well, at least taking some of the ones I have up. well, probably not going to happen. On my last shopping trip I also bought 14s and one 12. Gotta make sure I get into them. I hope you have more success than me in the sewing department.

I am working again today so I think to myself ok here's another outfit. Thats the reason I get up and out in this cold.

All the grand babies are wonderful. I don't think I will get one for a long time. Poor DH wants one so bad. I could be convinced pretty easy I think. Gotta get my boys to think about it first.

Pain always feels worse when its cold and I feel for everyone who is in pain, arthritis isn't being nice to me. Even my new knees hurt and I didn't think that was possible.

My wii still sighs when I stand on it and I am still obese but I am beginning to get the hang of some of the moves. I am very uncoordinated. I do not use it as much as I should. Gotta do better there.

Have a great day everyone.

Dear Aunt Jan and OH Peeps-

Hi there!!  How is everyone today? I hope your doing great and that you are staying warm too!!

As most of you know, I had my dr. appt yesterday. What a day it was-and to top it off, I hadnt slept very well the 3 nights previous, then add all the pain-and I was an emotional wreck! I would have to say the hi-light of the day-was being able to be around Renee and her "friend" Larry!  He is so awesome-and they are really cute together-LOL....Ok-so....I am STILL emotional, now VERY tired-as I didnt get ANY sleep last night, not even 10 minutes-ARGH!  This is a recipe for an emotional rollercoaster ride!

Well-so I get to my appt and I ask the doc if there is a possibility that I may have osteoporosis and if there is a chance, can I get tested for it? I explained to her that a very good friend of mine, who is also a nurse-thought that I may have it, due to my symptoms and pain level (Aunt Jan). As she is speaking to me-she says that she is almost certain that she ordered a bone density test when I first started seeing her and she is flipping through the chart while we are talking about it.  I told her I remember having a test-but thought it was a cat scan-she finds it-and said I had the bone density done-but she did NOT have the results-she had asked that the results be faxed to her.....and she never got them. I had never asked about it, as I saw her only 2 times after that, and those visits consisted of the broken tailbone!  Ok-so its almost 5 pm and I call my PCPs office and I leave a message for my nurse to call me back so I can see if they ever got them.  Amazingly-she called me back within 5 minutes, she went and got my chart and she faxed my results right then.  I do have Osteoporosis. So Now she has ordered another bone density test to see how it compares to last June.  We will go from there. She said she is hoping that within 2 weeks we will have the results from the bone density and then a cat scan and lab. She said that she didnt want to start me on one regimen and possibly have to switch it up-just as soon as my body is getting used to one med. She said I need to start 3 things right away-insane amounts of Vitamin D,  Vitamin C and then double my protein intake amount.
 
I told her that in a 3 month period-I only had 2 days that were pain free and that nothing seems to be working at all-and that due to the fact that I had to reschedule my last 2 appts, I was not able to talk to her about why the meds werent working and so on and so forth. She changed my meds and we are going to see how it all goes. She asked that as soon as my test results come back-could I please pick them up myself and I can fax them in, and then she will call me and we will do a phone conference..... and go from there.

I cannot do anything for the next 2 weeks except walking. She doesnt want me toning, pilates, nothing....I am bruising all over and alot, and have no clue why. I also have knots-like marbles under my knees and lower back/spine.  I dont know what that is all about, but the labs should give an answer to that.

So, I go to leave and ask where the nearest pharmacy is-so that I can go get at least one script filled to help with the pain, for the long ride home.....we go to Target, they do not carry ANY of the three scripts at all.  Then, we go to another pharmacy up the road (CVS) and the lady in front of me drops her scripts off and they tell her that the wait is 45 minutes. I do NOT want to wait that long for the meds-and I know that there is a Walmart on the outskirts of KC on the way home, so IF we can get there in the next hour, before they close-we will be okay.  SOOOOO.......Larrys GPS takes us to another CVS in Harrisonville......Holy Cow....I spent 45 minutes there-with the tech telling me that my insurance wont cover anything I need filled and that out of BOTH of them, they are each saying to bill the other one and neither want to pay.  Now-I am about in tears-because I have the medicare prescription plan and I KNOW I am covered and because its a new plan for me, I had the paperwork IN my purse that says Keep for your records and how much my copays etc are...I try to get her to check the paperwork out and she just keeps telling me that it is NOTHING and I am saying-read it and she wont...I am now hunched over, with my head on the area where you do the drop offs-and I am starting to cry, and then I start praying. I know in about 5 minutes-One of two things is going to happen-and even "I" am concerned about the latter of the two choices, I think I am going to lose my mind.  Plus-we are all getting hungry too!  Well, so the actual pharmacist hears my plea for the tech to read the paper medicare sent me telling me to keep it with me until it all gets straightened out and she comes over and she gets it ALL straightened out......I cant even think straight now, Im hurting so bad.....I wont let Renee sit in the back seat-and so that wasnt helping-but there is NO WAY I was going to sit in the front with her "friend"..... 

We leave the pharmacy and we decided to go to Taco Bell since Renee and I both can find something from their menu that we can eat.  We finally get on the road- and I am feeling so badly that Renee and Larry have been through hell for several hours because of the mess with the pharmacies and so on-and I feel like they are being so patient....and I am feeling really uncomfortable because of all the problems....and.....all I keep thinking is-

Ok....at least now I KNOW of ONE thing for sure. We have ONE thing we can at least address, right? Possibly at least slow down?  Im not a TOTAL whimp.....  Ok-then, I get upset. Im upset that I have only had my life back for a year-only one year-and its been spent, for the most part, in pain all the time and I feel like I have been robbed. Im angry because I have worked my hind end off, and went through all kinds of hell and back and on and on......and I dont see an end in sight.  Then... I would count my blessings....which I certainly have my fill of them, and that is what I am trying so desperately to hang on to- is that I DO have so much to be thankful for-and I can cling to that and if I always try and remember to give it to God-I know I will be alright-so WHY is that so hard to do sometimes.

I was hoping to respond to you guys individually today, but I have a pretty bad headache going on and we are trying to get Jons workbook finished.  So, maybe if this headache goes away and I have some free time, I will try to get on later on tonite and finish posting.

I do have to say real quick that I thank God for sending so many of you into my life. Your such a comfort, knowing that so many prayer warriors are lifting me (and the others who need it) to the Lord when we are too tired and I really appreciate it. Yesterday, as Larry was driving us home, I was sitting back there just thinking about how truly blessed that I am, and how God has always used every situation that I felt at the time was horrible or hard-he has used that in MY life-so that I can help others and as I sat there-I thought, Look what he has done-because of this horrible thing-I got to meet Renee-and she helped me so much when My stephanie was cutting and gave me advice and we just bonded from there-but that was all thanks to Jan-who told us of each other.....so, everywhere I turn, I have a blessing-and I know that it will be alright.

Renee-I do not know HOW I will ever repay you for everything. You mean the world to me, and so does your "friend" Larry! I just adore you guys and I cannot wait until we get to hang out and just relax..... just kicking back and having fun and we certainly have earned that, havent we?  I love you girl!

Im really happy to see Barbara back!  I was starting to worry! Everyone who needs prayers-you have it! I am praying a blanket prayer over our whole board members and their needs.  As always, your in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Janet

I want to know Janet, how much protien are you getting in a day? Does she know that on average we consume more than normal people do anyway???? Scares me with you taking pain meds, because you can get too much protien and do liver damage.

Im trying to cut back on my amount and going to cut back the amount of isopure I drink daily. Anyway, just wondering?

Janet;

Wish I had known you were in Harrisonville, I live about 10 miles from the Wal-Mart you were in.

waaah! What a missed opportunity.


I pray everyday that your pain eases up or better,. goes away! I understand back pain, have been living with it since 1973. Now it is worse since the roll over.
