I got a fill Tuesday evening. Drank my water and kept it down. Woke up in th night with awful heartburn. Took a tums and some water. It came right up. I have basically had nothing to drink since Tues. at 5 PM, and no food since 8 AM Tuesday! Everytime I try liquids they come right up. I am not even gonna try food. I am waiting for a call from the fill Dr. 3 hours away. But I may have to see my PCP first to get hydrated!
I hope ya'll have a fantabulous day!

Grammy,

Sorry to say it, but it is Thursday by my calendar (lol), though a Friday for those who have off tomorrow. . .

Back when I get to work. . .

You are right. That just goes to show how miserable I am.

How horrid for you, prayers sent you get relief today. Try soaking your feet in tepid water with epsom salts to hydrate yourself since drinking isn't working.

Sober 169 days and so proud of me. Got up @ 5:30. Slept on couch again. Crawled to bathroom, didn't want to try standing up without John awake. I can hobble around and stand at least, better than yesterday. The 10 million knawing beaver pain not so bad. I have menthol rubbed it, hot packed it, and frozen blueberry bagged it. I can stretch it out straight without too much trouble. Hubby got out my Canadian crutches. Will take it easy again today. Told hubby we might go to ER if I am still unable to stand or walk without help. Measuring tape says swelling down by 2 inches, equal to left leg in 3 places. I will take a half of tylenol soon and pass out on couch. Yeah you all, 1/2 of extra strenght tylenol does that to me.
SOOOO,nothing planned. That is OK. Yoda knows I am not feeling well. He paces back and forth when I try to move and lays in front of me at my feet or by the couch. The night of the injury I went to the dog park, but stayed in the vehicle. He got there, went in, ran around a little with some dog friends, pooped and walked to the gate and stood there looking at John and then me, as if to say, Lets go, I am all set and Mommy needs to lay down.
Trying not to think that we will not be able to go with our new "family" friends to the beach on Easter Sunday. I am so psyched about this wonderful couple and their sons. Menu sharing planned and determined. I want to get together a Easter Basket for them. Since they are dedicated to healthy eating and having great success at this with simple yet effective food changes, I want to make up the basket with fun stuff, not food stuff. I have missed making up Easter basket for my own 3 and Gkids.
Thought I would get a large colorful beach bag, put in 3-4 colorful kitchen towels for easter grass, get Jenn, the wife & Mom a big floppy blue hat to match her bathing suit, Eric, the Dad and barber and motorcycle biker one of those tie around go under your helmet things. Their 3 sons would get swim goggles and a football for catch in the water.
Well, the tylenol is kicking in, so slowly off to the couch for a nap. Hugs all. Monica

grammylew, don't mess with dehydration, I'm not a doctor but I would go to the ER and bypass your PCP. Something is going on with you. Lots of people here at the hospital I work at are fighting a bug, yesterday one of the gals down the hall upchucked and left early but not before exposing whatever she had to others. Get well soon. Hugs Debbie

Good morning OFF family, the sun is shining here in Michigan but it's cold.
Choir practice went well yesterday and on Sunday the men are making breakfast before services. The good thing is they are making omelette's! I'll pass on the pancakes.

For a fund-raiser today the volunteers are having a uniform sale. I stopped by and they have compression socks for sale, I just may run back down and buy some.
I'm off work tomorrow and it's mandatory, but I do have a choice of taking the day off with vacation pay or with out pay.

Prayers and hugs for those in need and grammylew a great big hug to you and hope you now are feeling a little better. Debbie

I second the motion! Don't mess around with dehydration!

Monica, so proud of your daily count. I lurk more than post but do keep an eye on you! And I am glad you are seeing improvement in the calf pain. I pulled a muscle once (stepped over a baby gate...should have just unlatched the darn thing!) - all the doc did was give me a muscle relaxant which put me under the table. But the pain and immobility sounded much like what you are dealing with. (It DID get better slowly by the way!)

Today I am working at home (well, home in FL), and then taking an afternoon drive out to Sanibel to see a friend there and have dinner and some beach time together. That's about it for today.

Where in Fl are you. Carla has the little red mobile traveling sistah machine. Maybe we could do a meet and greet for lunch and hugs one day!! We are in Sarasota area and Carla goes anywhere for a sistah. I no longer drive but we do this driving Miss Monica thing.
