It is Thursday....what is new??

Hi Piney....sorry you have had complications. I hope you feel better every day.  I would be writing the hospital board a letter about this situation.He should have informed you about his decision. That is just wrong!!

Good luck and prayers!

I didn't realize it was my surgeon that did it until yesterday.  I told him why I need them, he told my why He didn't order them and apologized.  Doesn't help now.  But, at least he apologized more than most.

Hi Connie and my OFF family:

Yes, I still feel miserable ... even more so than yesterday. But I went to work anyway because we are shorthanded. So I'm toughing it out. Just took a lot of cold and cough drugs. The left side of my face hurts and I'm having problems breathing. I'll just drink a lot of water and hope we get done somewhat early.

I was on Cymbalta for awhile and found it helped a lot. Better than anything else. But it was expensive. Now that it's generic and I've met my deductible, it will be free so I've ordered it again. I'm also on gabapentin (neurontin) and I upped that recently and that seemed to help, but as one of my friends said, it makes you stupid. So I don't want to take it for too long. It has effects on memory ... and I need to remember things like words. 

Well, need to get back to work. No plans for Mother's Day ... mailed out a card to Mom; hopefully Juliette won't hack up a hairball for me. It is National Black Cat Month (or week ... can't remember which).

Hi Eileen, am doing well. Millie also though she has no idea staying with me is better than at a Cat Hotel....

But she let me know she did not like 2 hrs alone today....she would not talk or let me know where she was hiding when I came home, called her repeatedly, and opened can of wet food she loves.   We are friends again, and she has gone to her bed ( brought from her home today) to sleep...I too will sleep soon as tired...despite wine ( a known carcinogenic...aw,no, pease no! Love wine!)

Cheers, Jennifer

Hi Eileen.....so sorry you aren't feeling any better. You are so good about going to work when you don't feel well. I don't know how you do it. 

So far the Cymbalta is helping. The extra dose has made a difference already today...I pray it lasts!!

I agree about the Gabapentin...it made my thinking crazy and I was off balance. I would drive and couldn't even think of how to get where I was going. It was bad!! My depression got worse and I gained weight too. I have lost 7 pounds so far. Lots more to lose yet!!

Have a good evening...get home to bed and sleep all day tomorrow!!!

Love and hugs....connie d

How much are you taking of Cymbalta? I take 60mg. I'm waiting for mine to show up in the mail. Once it does, I'll cut back on the gabapentin. But that is working for now. I really do have to get cracking on the weight. Some is the drugs, but most is me.
