SUNDAY WHAT'S UP???????
Wow its going on 5 here and nobody started a sunday thread today...guess you are all busy. Oh well.
Me I am in pain but living each day as it comes. Talked to my sister last night and she told me to call that dr Tuesday morning and demand that he give me a shot. Yeah ok...he told me I was not ready for that yet. She said oh yes I was!!! Soooooo if I still feel like this I will call and ask once again about that shot. I hate this feeling like I am going to throw up all the time. Even when I don't take the dam pill!!! Also this headache is driving me insane. I can't win!!!
Made a pork roast for supper tonight. Smelled so good cooking...took a couple bites and it is now sitting on the counter. Blah. No appetite for me I guess. So I get hungry I will go take a bite off it.
Using the TENS all day today and it is doing nothing for me at all. I just feel miserable.
Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them....
HUGSSSSSSSS
Good afternoon/evening Judy and everyone....
I just checked in on Facebook and there isn't much happening there either. I guess everyone is away enjoying the holiday weekend.
Judy...I can't believe that pain will not let go. It must feel awful being nauseous all the time and headaches too!! I agree....tell the doctor to at least give you a Cordisone shot. I wouldn't be able to handle it!! More love and many prayers!
I am at my daughter's. Kyleigh has been here a couple days. I am taking her home soon. She will come back for a couple more days later this week. I want time to relax tonight. I have more cooking and such to do when she is here. She begged me to make homemade lasagna this morning. She will be taking some of it home. I also made my grandson Lucas' favorite hot dish. He loves to have that to eat after school.
That is it for me. We have been enjoying the animals in the back yard. It is always so peaceful! I will check in later if I can.
Love and hugs always to you all....connie d
Hello sweet Judy and Connie!
Oh, Judy, I wish there was some way I could help you out. You deserve a great big ol' "poor baby"! I am so sorry you are going through this terrible pain. Somebody out there ought to be able to do something to give you some relief! Maybe you're just not YELLING ENOUGH!!! Tell the doctor you want relief NOW!
Connie, I know how much you love your grands and spending time with them. And I'm so glad you're getting to spend a whole week there with your daughter. That will be good for you (and Pam) to get a break. I know she is so good to you, but it's bound to be nice for both of y'all to have a little breather.
Well, the Waco crew is about to wear old Mama Poe out! (That's what all the young folk call me.) We went tubing today. OMG. I am exhausted!!! A 2 hour float took about 3 1/2 hours because the river is so low and the current is slower than normal. It was loads of fun, don't get me wrong, but the heat and the sun have zapped me. I didn't even drink any alcohol. Just had water and sunscreen! I'm not burned, but I am tired.
(Isn't sunscreen a miracle? I should be burned to a crisp and I'm not even pink.)
Anyway, all these girls are getting ready to go out, so the bathrooms are filled to capacity right now. They're going out to eat in Gruene (one of my favorite little towns here) and then on to a concert on the river tonight. The Randy Rogers band is playing. The good news for me is that I don't have to cook! LOL! There are tons of leftovers for Butch and Chris and Benny to eat. All I want is a hot bubble bath and then my jammies and bed!
Oh, my French toast casserole was delicious this morning! If you're looking for a recipe for a breakfast crowd (like for a special brunch or Christmas morning), this is it! Well worth the occasional calorie splurge. Just let me know if you want the recipe. Super easy and you make it the night before, so it's a snap to bake in the morning.
The girls are all leaving tomorrow, and I think Butch and I might have a date night tomorrow night. Chris is off for Labor Day, so we don't have to keep Benny tomorrow. We just desperately need some couple time. Family is fun and I love them all, but I need the chance to reconnect with my man! I need to be somebody besides Mom, Mama Poe, or Mimi!
Was happy to hear from Nancy today. I knew she was busy with her women's group all summer, but it's good to know she's hanging tough, as always. She is a real miracle worker, I tell you. A busy and productive woman!
I need to go flip the laundry. I'm washing all the bathing suits and beach towels right now. These girls are all so sweet. They are so appreciative of the "spoiling" they're getting. Just goes to show that big girls need their mommies just as much as little girls do.
Love you all!
Vickie
Vic, come Tuesday I AM calling the dr and asking if not demanding that shot to see if that will help me out better. I can't stand this being laid up like this and feeling miserable on top of it all!!! Thanks for the "poor baby" I needed it...;-)
Glad that you had so much fun and didn't burn!!!! I would love your French toast recipe for my son and his girl are coming this coming weekend...would be a nice treat to have for them!!!
HUGSSSSSS
Judy, I can't stand that you are still in pain!! I get so irritated when docs don't stay on someone's case until they come in for an appointment!! I had terrible shoulder pain...I mean so bad that I couldn't lift my arm to put on lipstick!! My doc tried pain meds for about a week, and then after they didn't work, she immediately gave me cortisone shots.......three in three weeks!! Pain gone...poof!! Hasn't returned in 3 years!! PLEASE demand that they stop with the experiments and give you something that has worked for so many. This is totally ridiculous in this day an d age that you are suffering so much for so long. You are a strong woman.......and this is one of those times when you should ROAR!! I am woman, hear me roar!!
OK...got that off my chest.
Today, Sunday, has been a pretty quiet one. I worked at the hospital this morning and had only 4 newborns to test for hearing. They were all adorable and a joy to cuddle. Mothers all were happy to have these babies. I HATE when I have mothers who obviously don't want their babies.......makes me feel sad, so sad. I love the little local Hawaiian babies.....they are so beautiful and are given great names like Leilani, and Kokua, and Makapuu........ I always leave the hospital feeling gratitude for the new life, and hoping that they will be loved and loving new little people.
This afternoon has been easy and nondemanding. Read the Sunday paper, made some crockpot chicken to use in many different recipes, and talked to my kids in Santa Cruz. My son, Mark, said a few minutes ago (6:30 Santa Cruz time), that they were at the beach and getting ready to go home. He's in his "mule mode"....LOL. Packing up all the gear, the 3 kids, food, etc. etc. Love that young man to the max!!
Tomorrow I don't work at the hospital so will stay home and try and "declutter" ...that is my project for the next few months........wish I had that proverbial magic wand that would get rid of stuff for me.!! Sigh.
Hope you all have a great holiday weekend, and I am so very thankful for all of your participation in this little group of awesome women!
Aloha nui loa,
