Snow?  SNOW?  Slywalker, I agree...how rude of Mother Nature to tease with Spring and then send SNOW! 

It's Friday and we are headed for our lake house for the weekend...Mother's Day...I get to go fishing!   :bandance;

Slywalker - Snow?  Time to be done with that mess!   Hope it warms up soon.

Anyone going to be in the chat room tonight?  I am going to try!

I am here.  Having a patient in our unit pass on Monday just made the week a little tough.  Made me think about Michelle (caregiver Inara) and also stirred up my curiosity about David13.

Stopping by for the day
Still noy in my room yet and getting uncomfortable staying downstairs all the time. Cats stay with me during the night and part of the day, but why do they have to jump up on to my knee to be with me? Also getting sick, started last week and labs told doctors I need to restart one of the 2 medications they stopped.
 
Suppose to start stairs on Monday at physiical therapy, but of course they are small steps and not like the stairs in the home.

Here I am again!  2:15 and I am awake.  I went to bed at 11, did all the right things---comfortable bed, deep breathing, cleared my mind, took my meds -- and over two hour later: NOTHING.   So I just got up.  My husband likes reasons and answers.  "Do you hurt" "what hurts" "aren't you tired"  "how do you feel".    I want to say "I have ESRD, Fibromyalgia, arthritis in the spine, no cartiledge in either knee or shoulder, and I am constantly worried about the whole situation".   Pick a spot and I am probably hurting there!!   But I just say that I am achy and can't sleep.  One day I will be sitting here crying and he won't know what to do with me.     :rofl;

Anyone else up tonight?    I hope not. I hope you are all sleeping and having wonderful dreams.   :cuddle;

It's 3:30 AM and I am awake. I hope you can start getting up those stairs soon Chris, it will be nice to be in your own room. Sounds like the cats are happy to have all your attention!   :waving;

Paris, I hope you're in deep sleep by now. So sorry you're hurting.  :cuddle;

Ok I am going to try to sleep too. zzzzzzzzzzz

I feel asleep around 5:30, but then feel compelled to get up at 8 and start the day.   I am dragging my wagon today!  LOL    Maybe we all need a nap   :rofl;

Chris, I hope you can sleep in your own bed very soon.  Nothing feels better than your own bed.  (of course, like you, I spend more time sleeping on the sofa!!).

Okarol and Rerun, why were you both up so late?   We all need more rest!!

 Ambien?  Not so sure on this. I got a Script once, when my Husband, was in ICU, for a Week and I had to Sleep, in the ICU Lounge, ( to far, to go Home ) it was good for about Four Hours, then at 3:00 A.M. Wide Awake. You don't want to Walk, around a Hospital at 3:00 A.M. Security Guards, ask, if You are Homeless and looking for a Warm Place to Sleep!  :rofl;

Oh by the Way,  I WIN !!!!!!!!

Thank you Galvo   :2thumbsup;   Being a mother is the best job I have ever had.

I am up but need to go to bed.  Maybe tonight will break the no-sleep cycle.

I am weepy at the drop of a hat. I hate to cry.  Hubby wants an explanation every time I cry. There is no explanation. Hospital, infection, surgery, catheter, arm, pain, emotions, brain going crazy you name it. Try explaining it.  :bandance;

Aw KK...I sure hope things get better for you soon.  Go in the bathroom, run some water and cry all you want...it might make you feel a little better.

I cried last night, we ended up out for pie at midnight. Hubby's idea.  You know it is really hard to frown when you are hanging a spoon from your nose in a public place at 1 a.m.

Victor had the right idea!  Pie makes everything better!   

I actually slept last night ---surprise, surprise! 

Galvo, I can't believe you have been winning for over 12 hours!  That just isn't right.  So, I am taking over   :2thumbsup;

 Kitkatz. Things Hangings, from Your Nose in Public!  :rofl;  I was at a Family Thanksgiving Dinner once and We all did this for a Picture. The Youngest, Person was only a Baby and We had to put, Mashed Potatoes, on the Spoon, to get it to hang from Their Nose, but We got the Picture. Too Funny. -------- However, I'm still the Winner!
