Last Post Loves IHD The Most!

[Chris]

First Marc sent me 2 boxes of the Girl Scout lemonade cookies and now know why people love them, they are soooooo good. Thanks Marc.
 
Went out Friday with friends, played pool and had fun doing that. I had coffee instead of beer at the bar and think I got sick from that. By morning I was really nauseated. Sitting was a bad idea. As soon as we got a seat at the restaurant, I really started feeling like I was going to  . So we had to have the waitress make our food to go when it was ready. I couldn't drink the coffee I ordered or drink water. Came home and sleptall day and part of the night. I still feel full from Friday night when we went out to eat too.
 
Marc, sounds like your day did not go well. Sorry to hear if that is the case.

[YLGuy]

It is what it is.  Your welcome for the cookies.

Church, then my last pinewood derby.  13th or 14th car I have made with my kids.

Good day at the park with the family.  Kids brought their bikes and we sat around and talked and ate.  We were all just loving being outside and enjoying spring. 

Marc, You're in my thoughts.  My brother had a rough time with the courts. They insisted he pay child support for 12 months, even when he had his son three months during the summer.  It made no sense.  I hope things work out well for you. You are a great father and the love you have for your children is evident to all of us.   

[YLGuy]

She pays me child support.  She travels for work and only has them 20% of the time...never mind.  I hope that you enjoy those cookies Chris.  I felt bad that you were in the hospital while they were on sale in your area.  I remember that you mentioned you were looking for the lemon ones before you went in.

[Chris]

Marc, I finally got a reply from ABC Bakeries about where I can get the Lemonade cookies, unfortunately they are not sole nowhere near me and they gave me the Girl Scout troop who dows in far northern IL. Haven't gotten an email back from theem yet about buying or ordering some for next year.
 
Today I slept past 2 pm and nausea is gone so far. Fell asleep again for an hour while I was sitting and adjusting settings on  new tv and stereo for surround sound and other settings.

Hello IHD folks! 

Chris, glad you are having a better day so far. 

[paris]

Hi friends.   Spent the day at the rhumatologist. Finally decided to talk to someone about the amount of pain and how it is effecting my day to day life.   Of course, two other doctors had given me their opinion, but I was looking for a different answer.  (they were all right)  She is going to help with the knees and other joints but also with the now named source of pain, fibromyalgia.  This is why I hate going to doctors---they always find something wrong with you       But, I am ready to not have pain control my life.   My Mom had it, my sister has it but I don't want anything else.   Oh well, it could always be worse.  What is one more pill at this point?? 

Hope you are all enjoying your Monday   

[Chris]

Paris are they sending you to physical therapy? I guess that's what you get when you ask more than 2 doctors, but atleast yours agreed.
 
Today didn't get much accomplished I needed to get done except get vehicle worked on, which is in part to why not much got done. Did some laundry, tried to shop for things I need pre and post surgery and only made it to one store and they didn't have anything. So got a new Milky Way flavored bar and a new 3 Muskateers flavored bar at the gas station along with a coffee.
 
Was going to post picture of new TV, but picture is blurry.

[paris]

The doc has lots of fun things planned.  Lots of xrays, injections, aquatic physical therapy, more meds-----I am just so excited      My problems have been going on for a long time, but I just kept focusing on my kidneys and ignoring everything else.    This all gets to be so old, doesn't it?

Sorry you didn't get everything done you wanted to do today, Chris.  I would love to see your new tv. That is a nice size and I bet you are loving it.

[Chris]

Well Aqua therapy I liked unless the pool was cold that day or they had me get out of the pool and get on the treadmill. The treadmill under the water is kinda hard to get use to at first if you have to do that.
 
Yes, enjoying the new tv, Discovery channel tonight was great. Now if I can get a cheap blu ray off ebay to see if there is really an improvement in movie quality. Not sure if I will buy Avitar when it comes out April 22 on Blu Ray/DVD.

Good morning.

We are in La Jolla. Jenna asked to see the transplant team about getting wait listed. We'll see how that goes.

Then she and her sister (home from college in NY, YAY!) will go to the San Diego Wild Animal Park to see the lions and rhinos and whatever else is out- it's amazing to see the herds roaming in open praries.

[Chris]

Afternoon
 
Good Luck to Jenna Karol

Paris...I sure hope something works to relieve your pain.  I have suffered from fibromyalgia in the past and took all sorts of treatment and drugs for it.  The one thing that I find works for me is stretching exercises.  The rest of it...not so much. 

For now (and I'm sure it won't last long)  I'm WINNING! 

[YLGuy]

It was one year ago today I was informed that I had end stage renal disease.  Kinda bummed.

[paris]

Marc, you are amazing. You have taken control of your life and made the best of everything that is thrown at you.  And you give excellent advice and support to everyone here.  I hope the next year finds you with a new healthy kidney   

[Chris]

I think I need a new camera, I can not get my camera to focus well and have reset the camera. Here is the best one I could get of my new TV and Entertainment Center.
 
Still couldn't find things I need for pre and post surgery clothing, so I guess I will buy scubs for one of the things I need

[Slywalker]

Nice TV Chris.  I'm a little jealous.  Someday, if my TV would just die, I will get a flat screen too.

IHD - I hope the sun is shining on you today.

  

[paris]

Sun is shining here!  70's and beautiful.  Now if I just felt like going out and enjoying it!   Maybe I will just go out and sit in my swing and soak up the sun's rays.  I should really be productive and clean today, but I would rather go back to bed. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their day   

[Chris]

Cloudy and in the 50's here, gonna finish watching "Men Who Stare At Goats" then return it.

[tyefly]

Stopping in to Say  HI everyone......its Salmon season here and we are catching a bunch....

[paris]

Taking my tired, aching body to bed.  Not sure if new med is working or if it just needs some time to get to it's full effect.   I am in a "I hate doctors, medicines, illness, etc, etc" mood.   But, I am also grateful for doctors and medicines!   

See you all tomorrow.  Have a good, restful sleep everyone.

[Chris]

Good Night Paris, hello to the next erson.

[paris]

Back again!  Sleep just didn't work for me tonight.  Ambien and Tylenol 3 and I am wide awake and feeling every bit of pain all over my body.   Thought I would work on a few things and then try going to bed again.  Sleep has to come eventually   

Hope the rest of you are sleeping soundly and having pleasant dreams.   

[Chris]

Nope not yet, but wa sleeping from 8 pm to 11:30 pm. I see Marc hasn't been in.
