Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Christmasstar]

Can I vent ? And ask for prayers?

I am going to the doctor tomorrow about a pain in my right leg ... I think it may be because I am all lop sided from carrying Finley on my opposite hip - in fact I had something similar when I lugged Will around ... BUT I am worried its something else... I was reading an article totally unrelated at work .. Talking about children's hospitals ... A d one of those kids had a type of cancer that affects nerve endings ... Anyways one of the songs was an ongoing leg pain

GAH... I can't stop thinking the worse now

why do we tend to think the worse when we have a pain? (I do that too sometimes)
Praying for the best for you!
((((HUGS)))))

Well, I learned that hot oil and feet do not go together.
I was taking chicken out of oven and not paying attention to what I was doing. Hot grease spilled from the pan onto my foot. The good part is I had on my crocks, so most of it was deflected. These two spots are where 2 holes in my crocks are.

So glad I had those on! Quickly took them off and plunged my foot in cold water and still got these blisters.

Looks sore . why does a burn hurt so much

We just returned from Redding where the smoke is so heavy from the fires. Many people were wearing those face masks like surgeons wear. I can understand why. My eyes were red, watery, and itchy within minutes of getting out of the car. I did not have a good visit with the plastic surgeon today. I had called him on Monday to renew my prescription for pain meds. I had been taking two Norco 10-325 every 4 to six hours. Before surgery, I was able to hold out for the six hours if I made myself. After surgery, his prescription was made for one 10-325 every 4 to six hours. That did not even get close to the pain, so I just went back to the prescription that worked far better than that. I called on Monday for a refill and he changed the prescription to ONE 5-325 every six hours. Today I told him I was still in tremendous pain (I still had the drainage tubes in and could hardly move without experiencing painful spasms from the many, many stitches. His prescription was a joke. I told him I wanted enough pain meds to get to the point of no pain and then to continue on the lowest dose in order to taper off rather than experience withdrawals. His reason for changing it to the lowest dose possible was that he said I should not really be in any pain. I have stitches and swelling from the middle of the front of my chest to the middle of my right shoulder blade on the right and from the middle of the front of my chest to almost the middle of my left shoulder blade. You would not believe the continuous bruise that is on my right side under my breast, running from the middle front to the middle back. He personally told me he does not believe in radiation, so I am wondering if that has colored his judgment. In addition, I told him I would NOT be completing the reconstruction with implants, that I would just go flat-chested! I came close to asking him to allow me to give him a bilatertal mastectomy and prescribe the minimum amount of pain meds available! Somehow, I don't think that would go over very well. Sorry for my pain-ridden rant!!!

So sorry to hear that. no why is that enough pain relief. what kind of dr is he anyway can you not ask for someone else.
Am not taking his side as pain is pain but maybe you should be in in that much pain. and if thats right why is he not looking into it .
He does not seem a very good doctor .i sometimes think some doctors treat patents are numbers in and out thats another one sorted. a lot dont seem to have a lot of heart these days.
Hope you can get something sorted an the pain eases

I wish it was in the 50's around here right now. I'm about sick of the 90 degree + days, the mosquittoes, cutting the grass, etc...

I'm ready for some serious Fall like weather where you can work outside and not sweat to death, where you can wear a flannel heavy shirt and take it off as needed, to be able to sit outside at night around a bon-fire; drinking a couple cold ones and cooking something over the fire....

OH yea, xmastidings is in some serious need of cooler weather...lol

Hope you get some cooler weather soon Xmasdings! :smile:

 

[Solice]

i wonder if this bozo has ever experienced this illness or this treatment? i think not. in any case pain is measured by the individual not a medical scale.....this really gets my blood boiling. the bruising ALONE warrants special attention not to mention the tubes & stitches! seawaters i'm so very sorry this is happening to you. i wish there was something i could do. sweetheart i would call & call & call until that office got it right. i'll be praying especially hard for you today friend!

Can I vent ? And ask for prayers?

I am going to the doctor tomorrow about a pain in my right leg ... I think it may be because I am all lop sided from carrying Finley on my opposite hip - in fact I had something similar when I lugged Will around ... BUT I am worried its something else... I was reading an article totally unrelated at work .. Talking about children's hospitals ... A d one of those kids had a type of cancer that affects nerve endings ... Anyways one of the songs was an ongoing leg pain

GAH... I can't stop thinking the worse now

i hope you get relief from this pain merryn. i'll be praying for you.

HELLO, just give her the pain meds she requested you idiot!!!!! i don't mean to speak as though seawaters isn't going to see this....this is just what's going through my mind & i think i'll bust if i don't get it out!

Good Morning, Friends.

Here we are once again on the Eve of the Eve.
(Seems like we were here at this point just last week, weren't we?.)

Regardless, tomorrow is Weekend Eve and today we have this:
Days to the Season: 75
Days to Christmas Day: 117
Now under 2 1/2 weeks left until that 100 day Christmas Day Window opens on a double-double digit count.
Then won't things really start to move fast.
Can't wait! (And neither can Carl. He was so excited at the 'Pines last night he started leaking coffee again.)

Warm and humid here yesterday but no rain.
We stand at 70 degrees, currently.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
See you here tomorrow morning, then we are off to the coast for 3 days!

Oh my, Christmasstar ~ that is painful looking! I hope you heal fast and that work went well for you!!!

I feel sorry for Jim Cantore. They made the poor guy broadcast live from the middle of a hurricane for 24 straight hours and then they only give him 6 hours off before they make him get back on air. Come on weather channel, Let the guy get some sleep.

He probably loves being out in the elements. It was funny that when you asked if anybody was up for a road trip a few days ago, I thought of Jim Cantore right away cheesy

 

[Meceka]

EV'NIN Y'ALL! BEEN A LITTLE RAINY HERE. I KNOW THIS IS NOTHING WHEN YOU THINK OF ALL IN THE PATH OF ISAAC. I'M PRAYING FOR ALL.


WELL DAUGHTER IS STILL FEELING LOUSY. SHE HAS NO FEVER BUT IS STILL NAUSEOUS, STUFFY NOSE, & SORE THROAT. I'VE BEEN GIVING HER MEDS BUT THE ONLY THING IT SEEMS TO BE DOING IS KNOCKING HER OUT. I DIDN'T TAKE HER TO THE DOC BUT MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE......W/OUT FEVER I DON'T THINK THEY'LL DO ANYTHING BUT GIVE HER AN ALLERGY PILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

DIVA & MICKEY ARE BEHIND ME, PLAYING. MICKEY GETS SO LOUD WHEN HE PLAYS EVERYONE TELLS HIM TO BE QUIET. LOL. MY DAISY & MAGGIE ARE JUST CHILL'IN. DAISY & MAGGIE WILL PLAY BUT ONLY WHEN THEY REALLY FEEL LIKE IT. NOW IF WE WERE OUTSIDE, MAGGIE WOULD HAVE A BALL FOR YOU TO THROW & WOULD PLAY CATCH UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME. THE WHOLE TIME DAISY WILL YAP @ YOU WANTING YOU TO THROW HER 1, JUST NOT AS FAR. LOL THEY'RE SO DARN CUTE.


HUBBY'S HOME. I'LL TALK TO Y'ALL LATER. GOOD NIGHT.:elf:

Your poor daughter ~ I pray she will be better very soon!!!

Seawaters, I am so sorry you are going through this ~ I hope there is some other doctor you can go to for a second opinion! I pray the pain goes away fast!!! {{{HUGS}}}

 

[Meceka]

Good evening,

I am through dealing with the bosses at work, I will just say I have contacted the state about possible law violations. Back there first thing in the a.m. which should be "fun." Looking forward to my weekend off big time now. JP's first day of school went well.

I need some Christmas.

Good night all!

Xmas, I am sorry you have such stinkers for bosses ~ I hope it all works out well for you! I'm glad JP's first day of school went well!! I hope you found some Christmas last night ~ take care!
