Hopeless

unhappy for restorer.

I'm relieved that it's Friday, and don't have D. for two days, but know Monday will come sooner than I'd like. Always worried about my liquids over the week end. I'm so thristy after D. and know it's going to be a fight not to "over" drink. :(
-
productive!

lonesome
My best friend was at New York Comic Con today and as she was telling me about what she did and who she saw, I was thinking about how much I missed her. I only get to see her about once a year, and we don't talk on the phone that much cuz it's just too expensive. We stick to text and IM. I would have loved to have been with her today. It would have been a blast, since the two of us are ubergeeks. *L*
-
happy
I'm home, my family is here, my daughter has a new (secondhand) car, my grandsons are in good health, and the house is quite clean
-
headachey
Furnace bit the biscuit sometime last night. It's cold, but I can handle that. The smell of the furnace oil, however, I'm having a hard time with.

I don't know. Do you have a really close friend who lives about 1500kms away so you don't see them very often, and the reason you get along so well is because you are both complete nutjobs? *L*

More like 4000 km, but yeah.

To be really honest not so hot. Really s. scared about my heart stress test on November 1. Had one postponed because of a bowel infection. If it is negative, I come off the transplant list. Eating about 750 cals a day and drinking about 750 mls in order to lose weight but hardly an oz. has come off. Don't tell me about exercise as find it hard to walk to my car. Apparently need a back fusion (bit like a bone graft). I hope Mary Mackillop has a few good words to God for me.

:bandance; :bandance; :bandance;
Bouncy and excited - my volunteer position with the Legal Aid Center came through, and I get to go next Thursday. I get to help people, learn things I need to know to be a paralegal, make some nice networking connections at the courthouse where I hope to get a job in the near future, meet new friends and get myself out of the bad habit of coming home from school and not going back out the door. Being sick for a decade has gotten me out of the habit of being involved in the world around me - at least the part not accessible from my computer screen. I'm too used to not being able to do things or go anywhere without being sick after. This is a nice kick in the rear to get me out of that habit!
-
Productive!
I spent the morning cleaning the living room. Not a "lick and a promise", but real dusting, sweeping, cleaning hardwoods and going through stacks of mail I have been avoiding for weeks. AND -- I still feel pretty good! :2thumbsup; And Beth just called to say she was coming over to visit for awhile. :thumbup;
-
still indifferent
I'm going to Nova Scotia tomorrow for my grandfather's 80th birthday, and I feel no excitement about it at all. It's also Chrystal's birthday, so that could be why I see no love in the world today
-
:blank:
-
snug-ly : it's too cold for anything else!

Mind = blown.
have been marking assignments for 10 days straight. Another 7 at least to go. :P
-
And Restorer - love your profile pic: your :) always makes me :)!
I agree! There is a lot of kindness in that smile.
Thanks. It was a spur-of-the-moment arm's-length "look what I got for Christmas" photo, but everyone says that about it.
Today, my mood's pretty neutral. That's my default mood, it seems.
-
right now, pooped.
traveling, even if it's only a couple of hours worth, is tiring
-
Pleasantly exhausted. Spent the night at Sis's lake cottage. Last weekend before the pontoon comes out of the water, so we bundled up and took a boat cruise - then went back and ate waaaaaay to much during the cook-out.
-
Better. Not so despondent. :2thumbsup;
-
:banghead;
Taxi Dad head smacked
-
Happy - had visit from my Mum, 2 sisters and brother-in-law: nice!
-
I've gone back to indifferent. I should probably talk to someone about that
-
Demotivated.
-
Bloody fatigued.
-
irritable - work is driving me :stressed;
-
Cautiously content.
-
Very frustrated. Picked up for D 3-1/2 hours late. My machine acts up so spend an extra 45 minutes while the PCTs try to figure out whats wrong, in the end they swap the machine so an 4-1/2 hour treatment stretches out to almost to 5-3/4 hours. The driver picks me 45 minutes late and what supposed to be 1/2 hour trip turns out to be 1-1/2 hours and on top of that someone is lying to me why I wasn't picked on time. The dispatch says the driver was sick and the driver who picks to go home tells me it was scheduling problem in the office. Top it off the other drivers didn't have their cell on.
:stressed; :stressed; I have to ;D that I am home
-
Frustrated?? It's surprising that you're not homicidal ChickenLittle! :banghead;
-
despairing. wrecked. scared.
take your pick
-
Oh dear Cariad. I'm fine so here's a hug: :cuddle;
-
Stoday, thank you. That was just what I needed to see tonight.... :cuddle;
-
despairing. wrecked. scared.
take your pick
Jeez, that doesn't sound good! What's up? Is it renal woes or dad trouble or something else entirely (I'm curious but don't want to pry, so ignore my questions if you'd prefer!).
-
brain dead. All day at my new volunteer position with the Legal Aid Center. All fascinating, part frustrating and a lot heartbreaking.

Inquisitive. Still looking for my missing haemoglobins.

Thanks, MM. No, it's not renal problems, it's the other. Shame on me for being surprised.
I really appreciate the concern :grouphug;
-
I guess I'm content tonight..
I was worried about my best friend. She has a job that has her walking all over that piece of Creation called Manhattan, and her feet hurt. *L* I always feel better when I know that she's made it home. I was thinking, if I won the lottery, I'd get her a segway or a scooter of some sort so she wouldn't have to walk, but then, if I won the lottery, she probably wouldn't have to work anyway if she didn't want to.
-
Good! My hbs have risen to 88.
-
OK... At least it is Friday. :cheer:
-
Good! My hbs have risen to 88.
Good for you, Galvo!
Des, :yahoo; for Fridays!! (sorry I missed your im yesterday -- I was talking with Darth and when I realized you were there, you were gone already! -- I will look for you again!!)
-
I think I"m back to indifferent... I don't feel much of anything today
-
Pretty much angry, 3 large dogs gained entry to the back lot where my precious, adorable and gentle chickens are at and tried to open the doors to the coop. Lucky my mom heard all the raucous that the birds were making. She called me and my dad and chased the dogs out. They tried to open the coops by pushing with their front paws
-
am lonesome tonight... I saw someone on tv that reminded me of my best friend. I only see her once a year, and she's been so busy with her new job that we haven't talked as much as we used to. It makes me miss her more than I normally do
-
Sad - because a young man I knew years ago died recently in an aeroplane crash, and he was only 22. Feel so sad for his family
-
Annoyed
Dad was here tonight, and he came up with all kinds of excuses why he couldn't help clean out the basement so that we could put a new furnace is. He also said that he couldn't afford to help pay to clean it out either. Mom told him that if it's not done in the next few weeks, we're moving out and he can figure out how to keep the pipes in this house from freezing
-
JUBILANT!!!!
Our park manager decided to be a doo doo head and not allow the residents to eat or drink in 2 of the rooms at the clubhouse. The committee I am on, fought long and hard, and property management gave us back permission to have snacks in those rooms. WE WoN!!!!
-
Exhilarated! We've got stormy, windy weather, and it is exciting!
-
I don't like stormy weather, but then, I fear wind.. *L*
Today I'm disgusted. with myself. I didn't get out of bed before it started to get dark around 3:30, so I didn't go for my walk
-
Grungy, crappy and mad!
-
The trifecta!
-
Terrified.
This weather will not quit. Our house is shaking and our kids are off at school when I wish they were home. Gwyn is here, so that helps a great deal.
-
Snarky, with emotions just at the surface.
-
Snarky, with emotions just at the surface.
Good explanation -- emotions just at the surface. I have been anxious since last night. Couldn't sleep because when I lay down, I feel a panic attack starting. I feel like crying about everything---but my husband hates tears, so I never let myself cry. Even when I am alone. I put on a great face around everyone, and the world thinks I am accepting all of this just fine. I am, but there are some really big emotions involved and tons of new meds. Not a great combination. I think people want everything "back to normal" and I look good (lol)---- and I do feel extremely better than before. But emotions are getting the best of me today.
I made a lovely dinner tonight, husband came home from work and said "don't worry about dinner, I will find something in the fridge to eat". I wanted to scream "can't you smell dinner" and then I wanted to cry. I did neither. Kitkatz, can I sit with you for awhile? :cuddle;
That wasn't one word!! Sorry, I can't even follow the rules today! :rofl;
-
I was happy earlier, for no apparent reason... but it seems to be wearing off
-
Today was the emotional equivalent of getting stuck behind someone driving 45 mph in a 75 zone.
(My ex-husband contacted me again, for nothing important or relevant. I've got this busy, interesting life that's he's no longer part of, and I don't look back at all if I can help it. Whenever he calls me again, I come to a screeching mental halt because I keep rehashing dead issues in my head. It always takes me a day to get back up to speed and not thinking about how pathetic he seems to me now.)
-
VERY good for you jbeany!!!!
I am happy today, dont have any idea why, maybe because I am going out to lunch with my girlfriends tomorrow. Good to get out.
-
Excited........our only Grand Daughter is coming for a visit :clap;
-
What's it's called when you don't care about shit and want to hide from everyone?
-
Riki, I'd call that apathetic and antisocial. I get in that mood a lot. :cuddle;
Today I felt productive until I got tired out, then I came on here and read a bit and got more sombre. I love this place, but it always reminds me of my problems and gets me down.
-
Little upset my husbands employment changed insurance companies, I finally have the dialysis center and my vascular surgeons in network and with the new insurance have to start over again they are not in network. My medicare isnt primary until April 2011.
-
We are wordy people.
My mood: Grumbly!
Paris- Come on over to my corner. I have a chair here for you! :cookie; :cookie; Cookies, too
-
only one word!! .....invisable. i have a few other words haha just had such a bad day, but theres always tomorrow!
-
Good Morning Lorna :thumbup; Always tomorrow, I like that attitude and your solution, being invisible.
-
For anyone in a bad mood today: (found on Twitter long ago)
(http://kinesis.teek.ca/squishyfeelings.jpg)
-
Nope.. didn't work..
I'm hiding from trick or treaters, so I guess I"m being antisocial
-
Smiley!
Thanks to Restorer: the cartoon was excellent :clap;
And Pam, know that excited feeling while expecting the arrival of the grandies. Enjoy the visit.
For Cooke and her insurance worries :grouphug; - hope things work out okay

isolated :(
-
I'm feeling ignored at the moment. My best friend seems to be ducking me a lot lately, but I don't know why
-
Cranky
-
i think i'm with kitkatz, cranky. i decided i had enough energy to go for a walk just to discover that my daughter-in-law had forgotten damian's shoes when she dropped him off this morning. so while i did have an enjoyable day with the grandkid we did have to stay inside!
-
Still feeling ignored... same reason
-
After the Melbourne Cup celebrations, I feel full and guilty. I really played up.
-
Sad - about Riki being ignored. Here's a :cuddle; Hope there is some contact there soon.
-
isolated, good word thats exactly how i feel today!
-
Crook! My hbs. have dropped from 91 to 82 in the last week.
-
Annoyed.. at my Neph, for what he sees as a good visit in centre. I don't know if saying hi is good enough to know what's going on. I had questions for him, and if it weren't for my nurses, I wouldn't have gotten the questions answered. They didn't have a chance to ask him either, they just looked up the notes and found the answers.
And no, Chook. The people who've been ignoring me have progressed to avoidance as well.
-
Sneezy!
Get better quick, Galvo. And Riki: too sad that your friend and your neph can't find a bit of time for you :(
-
Psycopathic. Urges to kill!! :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik;
-
Annoyed. Social Security scheduled a review of my eligibility for SSI today over the phone at 10:30. It's now 11:10, they haven't called yet, and I have to leave in 20 minutes.
-
Grateful --- it is my first born's birthday and he has always made me proud. He is a an amazing father and husband and still loves his Mom! :cuddle;
-
Still sneezy - must be the gardening/weeding.
Paris - congrats on your son's birthday: you sound very proud of him!
-
sleepytired
-
Cold... I'm tired of living in a dump with no furnace.. I have a fuzzy, four-legged bedwarmer, but he doesn't always stay in my bed
-
Stressed, I did some thing mad to-day while out shopping, I popped in to the hair dressers and had my hair cut really short. Don't know if I like it, but aye sod it.
-
Mood-less. Yes, I have no mood. Or no oompf. Neither happy, nor sad. Not blue, not cheerful. Not stressed, nor sleepy.
Odd.
Empty might be the word I'm looking for.
*sigh*
Still, give me an hour and I may develop some sort of 'mood' ...
-
Tired. I got as close as I've been to crashing today.
Weighed myself when I got up this morning, it said 48.6, and I added the usual 1.7 for my clothes, shoes, and stuff in my pockets, so I expected to be around 50.3 kg. That's not too bad, as I got off on Wednesday at 49.1. I decided I could have a cup of coffee (which I usually avoid on dialysis days) and a big bowl of cereal. I forgot to weigh myself fully dressed before I left.
When I got to the unit, I weighed in at 51.6 (I checked twice). Weird. So I needed 2.5 taken off (plus 0.6 for the saline). Usually that's not a big problem when it happens.
I was just fine the whole time I was on. I slept for an hour and a half or so; then, less than 5 minutes before I was done, it hit me really hard and fast, and I had to ask for my blood back quickly. The tech was asking me if I could hear her because I looked so pale and out of it. It makes me wonder what would happen if that occurred during home dialysis. :o
I also got a fistula lecture. >:(
-
A fistula lecture?
-
Mood-less. Yes, I have no mood. Or no oompf. Neither happy, nor sad. Not blue, not cheerful. Not stressed, nor sleepy.
do you think this was some kind of buddhist state of balance? Hope so...
-
I'm in a good mood today. It doesn't happen nearly often enough
-
Accomplished - managed lots of tidying in the garden.
Great to hear Riki is in a good mood - maybe the cappucino?!

I only drank half the cappuccino.. *L* I made it too strong.. I think it might be a bit of a sense of accomplishment, cuz I set out to do something, and did it. Now, to get the facebook page for the PEI chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada that I said I'd set up. Once that's done, continue working on my novel.

Oooh, maybe you're right. I was just feeling so calm that I'd transcended to a higher plane of purity (I'm not sure that makes sense, but my dinner is burning and I must save it!) ... I can live with that!
;D

I am ANGRY.
*big angry face*
Last night six of us went for an Indian to celebrate Blokey's birthday (Wednesday). When it came to pay the bill my MiL grabbed her bag to her chest and avoided looking at anyone. Back in May she paid for us all when we went out for my BiLs birthday meal; in fact, she ALWAYS pays for birthday meals (except mine).
I thought that going for a walk this afternoon would make me realise that it doesn't matter (Blokey says it doesn't), but it actually made me even angrier. It's not so much that she didn't even contribute, it's the way she hugged her bag tightly, as though we were all going to pounce on it and steal her money (she has OODLES of money, which isn't the point, but might put it into perspective.)
I just don't think I'm going to forgive her for this ... sometimes she seems to go too far.
(thanks for listening ...!)
-
Mood ~ GREAT!!
but I have my "dreaded" monthly Neph appointment Monday. I told my hubby that it always blows my mind that I worry everyday about what my numbers (labs) will show? Even though, I still feel pretty good most days...tired but none of the "signs" they say I will "know" when it is time for D. Seems like I am always "looking" for the "signs" they say I will know.....
over all though....I am always on a good mood :)
-
scrambleheaded.........and worried about some of the "moods" i see here and feel unable to respond to all so cant respond to any :'(
Edited to add.......I want to fix everyone up, sad :(
-
Worried.
-
I'm happy, for a few reasons.. 1, I didn't get hit in the face by any bouncy balls. 2, my best friend and I had one of those long conversations that friends have about pretty much nothing. *L* we haven't done that in a while cuz she's always so busy. She told me that she was working on a recording of A Visit from St. Nick, which is the original (official?) title of the poem, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. I'm not sure what she's doing exactly, if it's just a voice recording, or if she's doing it in the style of a radio play. She is a master of digital recording. She made me a recording of beach sounds, made by mixing digital tones. It's a half hour long. I can turn it on and close my eyes, and along with hearing the waves crashing on the shore and the birds overhead, I can smell the salt air and feel the sun shining on me.
-
Miserable - bot only because I have a cold.
Hey, jbrock, I remember dreading the monthly blood test results waiting for 'the number' - I didn't think I was sick enough for D but here I am on it anyway - and feeling better. Now the blood tests aren't such a anxious time, although I still check them avidly for ups and downs. Funny how things change, ah?
Great to hear you and your friend had some time chatting, Riki :thumbup;
-
relieved: husband home :yahoo;
chook: get better. Break out the vicks.
-
Optimistic. Able to go to the toilet without help from sorbitol. Able t push the ball up a little higher on my lung machine, my weight is finally down to an acceptable level and going out for dinner with some very dear friends.
-
Really happy. I have the pleasant aroma of chicken wafting through the house, we're going to the cinema to see Due Date later tonight, and tomorrow is Wednesday (I don't work on Wednesday's!) ... Oh, and a good friend just contacted me after oodles of time without speaking, so that made my day.
;D

Oh oh oh...I do this, too!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean. I've been doing this neph appt thing for 6 years now, and it does NOT get any easier. On the "Predialysis forum", there is a thread called "Appointments with the Neph" where we predialysis people gather to stress out/destress about our upcoming appointments. My next appt is 9 Dec. Like you, I keep telling myself that the numbers don't matter at this stage, that I'll know it's time when the time comes.
-
Hopeful. And Poppy, the chicken smells are wafting over the ocean and into this room....mmmm.....
-
I am off to work for the first time in three weeks. I have no idea how I feel about it.
-
sad. it snowed yesterday and there is still snow on the roof tops and on the grass. it's cold. i hate winter. more snow tomorrow. :thumbdown;
-
overwhelmed
-
Brandy...I hope that changes to "optimistic" for you tomorrow.
For me today....grateful
-
Today...frustrated but still hopeful.
-
bitter
-
Anxious. My dad and little brother keep shrugging off cleaning out the basement so we can have a new (to us) furnace put in. Mom's been bugging them about it since the spring, before the furnace bit the biscuit, but they've only barely begun to start it now. They were supposed to come today to start on it. Mom even rented a dumpster for them to put it all in. Bro didn't show at all, cuz he needed to fix the brakes on his truck, and Dad showed just as the sun was going down. Not like he was gonna do much then, not to mention, the first thing he did when he got here was turn the computer on.
-
Yackkkk!
-
Brandy...I hope that changes to "optimistic" for you tomorrow.
For me today....grateful
Peaceful
I'm in a much better place today. :)
-
tenuous
-
Quite cheerful, thanks.
;D
-
I am still in flip flops..... and hating the rain.....
-
Loving the rain - sorry, tyefly but over here in Oz it's been TOO dry for TOO long. Here's to a long wet summer :beer1;
-
Disappointed. Today is my mom's birthday, and I did nothing for her. I asked her if there was anything she wanted, and she said no, but I still feel like crap.
-
Itchy but happy. Going to Vegas tomorrow. There is a nice Davita 15 minutes from Harrahs.
-
How do you spell headachey?
-
SAD and Happy....
-
Happy... Went to the Santa Claus parade tonight.. lost feeling in the tips of my fingers, toes, and nose.. but all is well... then, I come home and find out about Richard's transplant.. I was over the moon!!
-
Industrious and damn proud of it! :yahoo;
-
Poor.
(Guess who's been Christmas shopping?)
;D
-
yess poppy, i do believe i read somewhere you were to be spending oodles of money today...lol Guess that was no foolen ;)
-
crappy, coughy, and croaky.... sounds like 3 lost members of the seven dwarfs.. *L*
I'll be fine once this cold goes away
-
anticipatory (first biggish snowfall of the season is due overnight, so I have to ready the foodstuffs so that we don't have to venture outside if we don't want to!)
-
Good mood.
Took Jeep in today for leaking radiator. Cost for used radiator and instalation $220. Not to bad so my mood is ok. Sadly wont be ready until late Saturday. Plus it is friday :thumbup; I dont have to hook up at 8 tonight.
-
Edgy (again) haa

I feel pretty good now that I had a five hour nap, haven't slept that lon in quite awhile.Talked to my sister and told me that my mom is visiting several that she liked to go whenever she goes to Chi-Town(Chicago). My Dad is busy helping my sister with a house project which is good because tt keeps him busy. Wednesday, most my sisters, nieces and sister-in-law are getting together to make tamales. Yep, sound like old times when I lived there. Even though I will be alone on Christmas I will be calling throughout the day to see what is going on there.

Sad. :(

Festive

Is coughy a mood?

Yeah, coughy could be a mood.
Today I am feeling energetic.

Gwyn and I are in the midst of a complete marital collapse.
It's happened before. He's so hopeless at relationships.

Oh no! You two have been through so much stress...could that be part of the problem? :cuddle;

:grouphug; I've been there, too. In sickness and in health is a lot easier to promise when it's the second option.

Dont worry ..men are hopeless at everything. :2thumbsup;

Bite me, kicky!

Thanks MooseMom, jbeany and KS. It's been a stupid week.
It's just a culmination of everything. We were having such a great New Years Eve, then Gwyn shouted at the kids because they were not going to bed like perfect little angels, and it all snowballed from there. I love New Years Eve, and I really resent his behaviour and his laser-like focus on himself, especially when he's had a few drinks. (We went to an early party for the kids, and I volunteered to be the return driver.)
He's moved into the spare room, which is for the best the way I've been feeling toward him lately. On the plus side, I'm getting more sleep.... :laugh:
-
Bite me, kicky!
:rofl;
Steady, galvo. Here's a hug.... :cuddle;
-
Thank you, cariad!
-
and here's a great big one for you too cariad. :cuddle;
And for that Gwyn later, when he gets out of the doghouse.
-
To-day I feel great, it is my Birthday and I have been out for lunch with my husband and friend. Don't ask how old I am , I will only lie.
-
Twenty-one again billybags? Happy Birthday!
I'm feeling fat. (I know I shouldn't have jumped on the scales!)
;D
-
Happy Birthday Billybags!
Cariad - big hug coming your way! ope it all works out...
(BTW my word of the day? Happy!)
-
:birthday; billybags!
-
Happy Birthday Billybags ..did your telegram come from the Queen ? :rofl; :birthday;
-
Birthday greetings, Billybags!
I'm embarrassed - was supposed to be getting morning tea for the blokes working for us. One came looking for it and I had to yell through the bedroom door - 'still connected up'! I am SO disorganised. Luckily they are friends so no further explanation needed. Except from my hubby, as to why he didn't reset the alarm! Will now attempt to prepare a delicious lunch to make up for my oversight.
-
Nervous.. it's so bad, it took me 3 tries to type it.. *L*
I have an appointment with the neph tomorrow to talk about what needs to be done before I can get another kidney. I'm kind of hoiping that it's cancelled due to the storm that's raging outside at the moment.

Oh, I'd be nervous, too. :cuddle; Hey, would you let us know what you find out? Either PM me or start a thread? Thanks!
-
Today I'm ecstatic! My birthday is the day after Billybags (all the best people have their birthdays in January!!) and Its my first birthday with a new kidney! No dialysis and tonight I'm going for a full on chinese meal with my gorgeous Peter and I'm having BANANA FRITTERS for dessert!! In fact I might have them for the starter and the main too! :rofl;
Plus, he's taking me to Bath at the end of the month (No, not for a bath! I've showered today thank you!) but to see the Roman site!!
Our first trip away since I was transplanted! I'm so excited!
Am I allowed 2 words?
Excited and Ecstatic!
-
thoughtful
Happy Birthday everyone......
-
HB Carla and your excitement has lifted my mood and made me smile. Enjoy your trip!
-
hopeful.. the Neph seemed very interested in helping me move forward towards a transplant. He agreed with me that plasmapheresis might be an option when we actually have a donor, which I didn't think he'd say. So, onwards and upwards.. *G*
-
Riki, That's brilliant! I will keep you in my thoughts, please keep us updated!

-
My mood today? Utterly p*ssed off. I've been trying to file my tax return on-line.
Compared with filing my tax return dialysis is a summer holiday.
I HATE TAX RETURNS

Yay!
I'm feeling energetically productive. I expect it to last another few minutes and then my body will suddenly realise that it's Friday and everything will just droop.
;D
-
Everything?
-
perplexed.. my dialysis doze wore off about an hour ago, so I feel like I need to do something, but it's 3am, and anything I could do would probably disturb my mother.
-
Everything?
Well, maybe not *everything* ...
;D
I'm feeling energetic and boundless today, with a vague whiff of sleepiness (oddly & randomly) thrown in for good measure.
-
confused as it looks like I might not be a Leo anymore.
-
stressed
-
anxious and a bit scared
-
Pe-ed off. We are not talking. He is going through a crankie week. I can not do any thing right.
-
Heartbroke.. Keith Olbermann was a staple for me since we got digital cable a year ago. It's going to be weird not seeing him on tv anymore, not to mention the Thurbur stories on Friday nights. They always made my Fridays.
-
I feel so strong and healthy that it's almost scary...like waiting for another shoe to drop. I know this won't be forever but for now I'm relishing my good fortune.
-

Aw, billy, you poor thing! I've been there, very recently in fact, and it's a drag. Hope things are looking brighter today!
-
I am good.
-
Pretty ok 2day. Admired the stars and the moon in the cold. Happy to be alive for now :2thumbsup;
love 2 all Cas
-
I'm good ;D
-
Am amused. I watched the Denis Leary special tonight, Douchebags and Donuts. I think it was on Comedy Central last week. Us Canucks got to watch it tonight. *G* What I thought was funniest was that he was uncensored, but when he was singing, the words to the songs were on a screen behind him, and they were censored. He'd say the word, "penis," but it was blurred on the screen. Struck me funny
-
Doing good, having a bit of 'me' time while my three kids play with a neighbor's kid :)
-
it's my bday today....feel a little melancholy. first birthday on D, no job, and i'm cold!
-
Happy Birthday! :bestwishes;
I'm in a good mood today, I just hate the cold lately though!
-
IT'S F-N COLD!! I've got a case of the blahs today, I think. Nothing a good night's sleep can't cure
-
Hot as hades here! :birthday; rsudock!
-
Hey Galvo.. I'll trade you.. it was -17C here yesterday, without the wind chill... with it, it was -33C
-
Thank God it warmed up now, it was too cold!
-
Some people are like Slinkies . . .
Not really good for anything. . .
But they still bring a smile to your face when you
push them down a flight of stairs!
:yahoo; THAT, is how I AM DOING TODAY!!!!!
-
Ohh, that's good, Hazmat!
Today - I'm befuddled. Ran into a friend I haven't caught up with in a while. Politely put, she looks wrung out. Asked her how she was doing, she said she's been on the run for the last couple of weeks, between work and her son in the hospital.
I asked if he was doing better. She said he was in the mental hospital, and had been given an anti depressant that he seems to be responding to. He's autistic, but quite high functioning, as they call it, and a real sweetheart. He'd been balking and complaining about not wanting to go to school lately. He doesn't always communicate well enough to get to the "Why" part. When she got up with him to get him to school in the morning, she found him in the kitchen, with a knife from the butcher block pointed at his chest, screaming that if he had to go to school anymore, he was going to kill himself.
He's been mainstreamed, and the bullying was finally more than he could handle. His poor mother and his doctors finally managed to get that out of him after several days of therapy and a lot of meds.
He's 8 years old.
-
Recovering - have had a rough three weeks. Hernia operation & haemo for 6 weeks has not gone as expected. Haemo has been bit rough & ended up with hospital time because bowel blockage. Think I'm on the mend. Back on IHD so must be getting better .
-
I have a miserable cold this week, I've felt run down with being sick.
-
So stressed out.
-
BB...hope things get better real soon for you. :grouphug;
Today...I'm optomistic.
-
desalate
-
Frustrated, scared and b!tchy.
Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
;D

Concerned.
I made my son go skiing with the Boy Scouts. He likes Ski Club at his school and he likes Boy Scouts, but for some reason he did not want to go on today's ski adventure with the scouts. I made him go, and now I'm worried about him having a good time! Because I'm not nearly as active as I'd like to be, I worry that my 13 year old son does way too much sitting around playing video games and such. I think if I felt better we'd all be out doing more activities! So I tend to make him go do things sometimes. Usually he has a good time and is glad he went....usually.....
-
Very emotional and overwhelmed.
Today 40 years ago on Saturday 13th February 1971 my landlady found me in a coma.
I was lucky that she came home because usually she stayed in her other house in the countryside
for the whole weekend, but on this occasion she came back to her townhouse on Saturday,
looked into my room, found me to be in a coma and called the ambulance.
I was in kidney failure. I don’t know for how long I was in a coma (I never asked),
but I remember that I was discharged from hospital between the end of April
and beginning of May 1971 after my kidney function had “recovered” to 5%.
My life was in a blur. I was on the transplant list but the waiting list was 10 years and
survival on Dialysis was only 5 years. I panicked because I did not know how long my kidneys could hold on.
They are still with me but for the past 40 years I never knew when they would stop to function
and I had to plan my life accordingly.
Now my kidneys are failing again, they only functuin 10-12%, no Dialysis yet - and again I hope for a miracle.
-
Believe me . . . you wouldn't want to be in the same room as me.
I don't even want to be in the same room with me.
-
agitatied, bored, restless......
-
Good..
I got a PM from someone i was worried about.
-
today is pretty good so far. My mood, mellow.
-
I'm happy. I enjoyed some fairly sensible conversations with delinquent teenagers whilst at work this morning. Now I'm jigging along to my current favourite album (Brandon Flowers) and will soon be cooking my Blokey a vaguely Mexican tea. Then we're toddling off to the cinema to see the film Paul.
Life is grand today. And I don't work Wednesday's so tomorrow will be even grander.
;D
-
Not good. 3 kids sick at home with the flu :(
-
Life is good! :bandance; I am happy, feeling much better, eating well and my hubby arrives for a visit today. Life is good!
-
Mostly good today. Regular family kind of day - groceries, haitcuts, Boy Scouts. Life is good!
-
Not very happy. My wash machine broke last weekend, I spent two thousand dollars replacing the washer/dryer set. I had flooding in my basement from a recent major thaw and my kids were supposed to go to their grandparents overnight so my hubby and I could have a night alone and my Mom got sick so that got kaboshed. It's not been a good week right from last Sunday. If anything else happens, I might scream LOL :rant;
-
I spent two thousand dollars replacing the washer/dryer set.
Yikes! That's a lot of money! Hope that next week is more enjoyable for you.
I am ... *ponders* ... very tired. And slightly hungry. And quite content.
;D
-
Relieved. Had different nurse cannulate me for haemo run and all okay.
-
Annoyed with Mother Nature for teasing us.
4 days ago, we had 55 degree weather and all 19 inches of the snow from the giant storm melted. It looked like spring was already here.
Within the last 4 hours though, my sprawling green lawn between the buildings in my complex looks like this.....
-
Really down today. Just feel like it is ALL so pointless!
-
Thanks, Poppy :grouphug; Hope you're having a good day! Today is going good so far-its a holiday, family day here in Canada :bandance; :thumbup; :canadaflag;
-
Bored. I HATE having to tip toe around while everyone sleeps. I feel like I live in a darn library
-
I feel like I live in a darn library
I would love to live in a library!
I feel ... um ... *shrug*
We're off to see Spamalot this evening. I don't actually like Monty Python. By the time I get home I'll either be so bored that I'll be completely ready for my bed, or I'll be totally psyched and desperate to watch some MP. I'm actually hoping it's the former.
;D
;D
-
HAPPY that the cold weather is finally gone! 85 degrees! Nice and sunny and warm.
SAD, that I have to work inside an office w/ NO window!!!!!!!!!
So, I guess I break even! :yahoo;
-
Frustrated! Bought some new CDs, loaded them onto my computer and now can't get them across to my iPod. I hate being technically challenged!
-
Better than it has been for awhile!
-
Excited :bandance;
-
Excited :bandance;
Oooh, why?!
;D
-
Pretty good. Had a really nice workout yesterday - I think that helps!
-
Out of it. :urcrazy; Definitely not myself today, though it was a dialysis day which probably explains it.
-
Too early to tell.
-
So far so good.
-
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: excited :bandance;
-
Bit down. Haemo has been extended by a further two weeks, eight weeks in all. Was so looking forward to being back on PD this weekend.
Des, are you sure all that excitement is good for you?!!!
-
Is coughy a word? How 'bout hacky? Laryngetic?
I'll settle for annoyed with my chest congestion!
-
Annoyed because my husband is snoring, and it is so totally not cute.
-
So stresseddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
-
I was happy because I don't work Wednesday's, but the closer it gets to bedtime (and thus getting up and going to work time) the more miserable I get.
;D
So stresseddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
Awww, billybags! *huggles*
-
feeling foggy...... like in a fog
-
It's been a tough day in the looney household. Feeling a little down right now. But...tomorrow's a new day!
-
can sick be a mood.....
Well my mood is SICK. My head feels fuzzy and I cannot think straight. so.. the only thing I am feeling is SICK.
-
Tired and ready for bed after a marathon of IHD. I just find all the posts so readable and interesting. Well done everyone!!!!! :cheer:
-
Irritated.
I realize college courses expect you to spend a lot of time out of class doing homework. All the course catalogs say "Expect 2 hours of homework for every hour spent in class." 3 hour class, 6 hours a week of homework. Not unreasonable, but certainly enough. But I've got an unreasonable prof for one class. My estimate on assigned homework for this week is 20 hours.
-
Pissed beyond belief. My dialysis session tonight was a marathon. Crashed about 2/3 of the way through, then started clotting. They returned my blood to me, switched out the lines then started again. I was there almost four hours ..... grrrr .... grrrr .... I swear I think they treat me worse because I have a catheter and they want me to get a fistula but I am holding off b/c I am going through testing for a transplant. Blech....grrrr......
-
Really good. My labs came back with every value in the normal range...creatinine at 88...even potassium which had been staying slightly above normal.
My exercise routines have been great, rowing and weights at the gym along with yoga and pilates classes (one each per week). Walking in the afternoons or early evenings is no problem with all the lovely transplant energy that is now mine to use. I've only missed 3 days since January 4th and am now up to a minimum of 7 and a half kilometers but quite regularly do 10. I do 5 km per hour.
Long may this last!
-
Glamourous because I got my first haircut in over six months. I don't look like the crazy cat lady any more (and I don't have cats).
-
Not bad. Yesterday I went to a wonderful lecture by Dr. Leslie Howard
about “Discovering Liszt”. I am now beginning to like Liszt
thanks to the wonderful introduction by Dr. Leslie Howard.

Good luck with your adventure, Henry
and best wishes from Kristina.

I've had an excellent day with my youngest daughter. Farmers markets for brekky, craft expo, dining out for lunch, cleaned her car thoroughly, cleared gutters on the roof, walked the dog and had an excellent day.
Great news Monrein on your lab results and your fitness regime - impressive.
Happy trails, Henry, and may you spend lots of time fishing!
-
hopeful...my living donor has 2 more days of testing...then April 1st it goes to transplant committee to say yeah or nah on going for the surgery!!! we may have a date as early as late April beginning of May!!! woo hoo!!!
-
Henry, you'll become the first peripatetic IHD member. You'll keep in touch won't you?
