Judy I hope you got my email....

Tell us all about it tomorrow...
♥

Don't panic everyone, I am here!
Power went out last night at 10.30 so I am in withdrawals but while it is back on (after 20 hours) I am getting my fix!

I am just starting to catch up on the last couple of pages, but I must quickly post and say to Nola, I hope Greg is ok, haven't seen anything since he was going to have a scan so not sure if you've posted since. Just wanted you to know you and Greg are in my thoughts.
Hope all is well.
Gotta love that morph!

Broni...ouch! I thought they only said nice things about me in the news.

Hi there everyone.I just got up from a sleep.
Greg is ok.He has a kidney stone which was moving through his system causing the pain.He still hasn't passed it yet but they let him go with pain relief if it happens again.
Thanks for your concern.
I was at the hospital with him until lunch time,brought him home then went back for groceries and script.
Crashed on the lounge for 4 hours and feel much better.Gotta clean up now as the house looks like a bomb hit it.

oo oo wincing in sympathy with Greg...
Give him our regards Nola, I hope the passing is swift. Rest well. Working tonight?

Good news Nola! Better than the alternative anyway. Thank you for getting back to us!

Nola - good that you know what it is but, like Gail - ooh the pain! Supposed to be bad. Hope the stone is passed quickly and things get back to normal in your household. Cheers.

SA8ers! Been up since 5:30 this morning, woke with a sinus headache...Darrell still in bed.
Hello to CynB, Suzy, Nola (hope Greg is better soon, OWIE!!), Broni (I'm coloring my hair this morning, sounds like we had the same color!!), Gail & Bean. I think I got everyone! If not, I apologize.
Not sure where I want to go yet tomorrow. We're supposed to be back in the low 90's by Saturday.

Am I the only one here??

I'm here, too. I still haven't called my doctor... I slept almost all of yesterday and didn't wake until her office was closed. This morning I intended on calling her right away, but my phone book is missing, along with her number. I shall have to go on a major hunting expedition. I'm sick of this coughing.

Hi all
Nola pleased to hear that Greg is ok... I know that kidney stones are yucky but it could have been worse.
Heidi hope you get to see your doctor soon this is going on too long.
We are having a bit of a breezy day today but it is still warm. No more falling asleep in the sun for me.
Hope everyone else is fit and healthy and enjoying life. Will post more whn I get a proper Internet connection (using my phone at the moment and it is slow)

GOOD NEWS! I found my phone book! I then talked to my GP's office. They're gonna call in some different prescriptions to my pharmacy.

Morning everyone. I am getting a slow start to my day today. I have a new medicine, a muscle relaxer for the back and it makes me sleepy. Boy did I sleep good last night! Just hard to get going today.

Did I say what doc told me? Arthritis in the spine, no herniated disc, that part is good. Said it sounds like a pinched nerve somwehre but nothing showed that on MRI. Schedule me for an epidural block, but they have not called me about that yet. More pain pills and take the muscle relaxer.

Hmmmmm. It sounds like Greg will soon experience an event close to one women experience. This is the closest a man can get to childbirth. Has he named the stone yet, Nola???
(I know... I'm cruel..... but this is not life threatening.)

MizT... those epidural blocks are a mixed blessing. They are horrible to go through, but they're well worth it. They keep me comfortable with 2 degenerative vertebrae, 2 degenerative discs, a herniated disc and osteoarthritis in the spine.

Thank you everyone for the get well wishes for Greg.I'm glad it wasn't a twisted bowel,that would have been worse.
Heidi..hope the new medications do the trick and you are back to normal quickly.
Same goes for you MizT,and having a better sleep must help.

Happy birthday to Kailah and Maddylain who are 2yrs old today.
They have already had a party so it will be a bit of a non event.I will try to get around to see them today.

Good Morning SA8.
Nola, good to hear Greg will be OK (ouch!)
to Kailah and Maddylain.
Heidi, hope you have your meds now.
MizT, thanks for the update, think you need coffee.
Brenda, falling asleep in the sun?? sounds like a case of sunburn (ouch!)
Hope everyone else is well or improving.

I have the new meds. My GP put me on a cough syrup with codeine. After the first dose, the coughing has already let up a little. It also tastes good. I love my Doctor. She's great.

'Morning All.
Glad Greg is OK, though in pain. Happy birthday to the twins.
Ken will be home tonight, thank goodness. I got one of the worst tummy bugs I have ever had. If I could have walked as far as the computer I think I would have left you all a farewell message! Slept most of yesterday and now on the mend. Must go and get some medication as I think Ken must have taken it all away with him!
Pleased you are finally getting some medication to help the cough Heidi.
MizT, hope they sort our the treatment for your back.

to your grandgirls Nola

Morning all!
June, that sounds dreadful! It's a shame you can't send someone else out to get the medication for you. Do you have to drive to the airport to pick up Ken?

Happy Birthday Kailah and Maddylain!!!

Heidi, glad your new meds are working.

The stuff is supposed to make me drowsy. At least I should sleep at night.

Not here BTW, just looked in to see a very late reply to a late post on that other site. Thought I may as well check in here too. Getting ready for Thursday at Bean's...I wonder what she has install for today?
Catch you later.
Have a great

For all you people in the US.... Teddy Kennedy has passed away.

As I said on last night's easy Heidi, Vale Senator Edward Kennedy. It got no response, which is at least better than getting my head bitten off for saying something deemed inappropriate.
He was a dedicated politician, the last of the dynasty. I believe he was a vociferous advocate for the poor.

Good morning lovely SA8 people.
to Kailah and Maddylain
June - sorry to hear you haven't been well, glad you're on the mend and that Ken will be back today.
Heidi - glad you found that phone book.
Hello also to Suzy, Gail, Broni, MizT, Brenda and Suzanne

Have to go to another sad funeral today - my former husband's niece, therefore the cousin of my kids. She was Karin's age (36) and handicapped. A long sad story but I won't elaborate. She's with her Mum now. RIP Natalie - you touched our lives and our hearts.

MizTricia, good news/bad news about your back. I'm glad the muscle relaxers work. Heidi once described the epidural block and it sounds like you will be out of commision for a day or two afterwards. I hope it works for you!

Cyn, sorry to hear about Natalie. My thoughts will be with you today.

Gail, have a great day at Bean's.

There was a long time between my posts because it's 'that' time of day. The house is almost empty though, just a few more minutes...

Heidi, codeine definitely makes me drowsy! I have an ibuprofen/codeine OTC med that I won't take if I have to drive anywhere...

I have always loved codeine. It always works for me, and works well.

I have actually gotten used to those epidural blocks. I was doing a little mental mathematics and realized that I've had 34 of them so far!!! I keep hoping for them to be really bad. The pain doesn't last long, but the worse the pain is, the better they work. I think the first one is the worst because you don't really expect it to be as bad as it is. After that, you're prepared.

Good Morning.

Just back from the Docs.. had my last puncture mark in the arm.. Hep A/B..(3 of those in total.. 1st, 2nd a month later, 3rd at 6 months.

Nola. Glad Greg is doing ok. Happy 2nd Birthday to the Twins.

Heidi. Hope the new meds do the trick

Tricia. Lets hope you are on the mend sooner rather than later.

Need to go and feed that machine #2 load, and hang out #1 load.

Later Aligater

Just woke up from a cough- free nap. Yep, this new med is doing the trick.
Now off to feed dogs I got them a special treat .... canned filet mignon ... since they're such GOOD dogs.

Good maeN everyone!! It's about 10:30 here, and I am POOPED! I didn't even read any posts since my last one!! Signing off for now, take care everyone!! TTFN! I'll check in tomorrow afternoon!

I am saddened by the loss of Senator Edward M. Kennedy....He indeed was a Lion for the middle-class and poor, in fact for all who were in need regardless of their status.... May he rest in peace, and may his life's work be honored by those who are in position to carry his efforts forward. Something must be done about universal health care as a tribute to him.
Glad to see those who have been ailing are finding their way back to improving health.June, sorry you had to join those who were already ailing too. Hope Greg has managed to pass the stone by now...that's a rough road to travel I understand....and no reward accompanies it as women can claim with the babies....
Have a blessed day/night, safe travels, productive day or sweet dreams, or perhaps simply a good relaxing period of self contemplation...whatever rocks your boat, and swells your hearts...Peace.
