Hi Raven!! God bless you.

[Raven72]

You know when I was pregnant with my son the only thing that would get rid of my nausea was lemons. Then when I was pregnant with daughter they made sick. Go figure huh...

Given thanks

Well not today for sure. All that can go wrong happens. Anxiety hits around 7am after a rare goodnight sleep. Benadryl for the first time in a month. Can't open my car door, have to pass by the passenger door. Anxiety doubles. Go to work. Drop a big cup of tea, water all over the place. Anxiety triples. Call the garage. Still at work. In a hurry to finish early so I can get to the garage.

I get there, rust is preventing the door to open. I am claustrophobic, a true one. Oils here and there. All is ok. Get home, drop and break my favorite glass.

Try to write a post, nothing happens. Try another time, here I am! Anything else with that?

thanks Gail

 

Just look at it like this Gail.

 

It has got to be better tomorrow. Just proper your feet up and take it easy tonight. You deserve it.

[TryinginFL]

Gail, anxiety

 

 

Oh my dear Gail!

 

What a terrible day! 

 

Love, hugs and prayers for you, dear friend

Anxiety rules

 

Yesterday it was my 30 year old daughter and my 18 year old minivan. 

 

On Tuesday, my daughter had a physical, wherein a lump was found in her breast.  She went to an imaging center today, and a doctor was present to interpret the results.  Just normal tissue -- whew!

 

The minivan needs tires:  one has a bulge, another goes flat in a few days.  But a set of tires costs more than the car is worth.  It has a broken wiper motor, a stuck window, an oil leak, a shot suspension, and on the way to the tire shop, the turn signal instrument light goes out.  Anything could break down next week.  We didn't get the tires.  I'm ready for a new car.

 

Yuck.

rules life

 

Murphy's Law rules life. In case you don't know Murphy's Law it states that if anything can go wrong IT WILL.

[PtldFrank]

life varies

 

As I understand it, Murphy's law had to do with industrial design: basically "If there's a wrong way to do something, someone's going to do it that way."  It should be a maxim for any user interface, airplane, etc. designer.

 

My understanding is limited, though. Wikipedia has a lot more to say on the matter:

varies always

Anxiety abounds today. Medication adjustments are my issue. I feel the Paxil is helping but with making the adjustments in order to taking it at night is trying. It's been since lunch yesterday since I had it. So, anxiety has crept up on me all day.

[TryinginFL]

again lost

 

 

Oh, I miss those friends too, FH!

[gail]

Lost in space

I miss them also. Great people.

By the way Liz, I meant to thank you for letting me take Max for Christmas. I will be babbling with anecdotes. With Max, always a surprise.

[Raven72]

space darkness

 

Has the pilot arrive to pick up Max yet Liz? He was going to get burgers on the way and I have his Friday night all ready for him.

[TryinginFL]

darkness here

 

 

Sorry, I couldn't reply right away, Raven...  As soon as Max left, I had to go out

 

Hopefully he arrived safely and enjoyed his burgers on the way!  I know that he was looking forward to seeing your kids again!

[Raven72]

here late

Yes, he arrived safely but late. He talked the pilot into stopping for more burgers.

He is having his cigars and brandy now.

He helped me tuck the kids in bed. He is excited about trip tomorrow.

[TryinginFL]

late again

 

 

Happy Saturday all!

 

Raven, thanks for the update...  Max is going to gain weight w/all those burgers!

 

Hope you all have fun today

[gail]

Again this

I am feeling so much anxiety since Wednesday that it's scary.
It had abated by at least 80% since Lamictal.

And then the light went on this morning when I realized that the Z pack is the cause. Started big time on the first night. I had forgotten that many years ago, it did the same F***ng thing. So I am home bound for today.

Thank God it's Saturday and nothing needs to be done.

Max must be happy as a lark. Looking like a hot shot with his sunglasses and trench. Have a great time Raven with ALL the family. I hope you update with funny stories.

And a better morning for you all. Liz, it will be a Friday for me tonite!

This is weird

Fisherman, medical question here. What does it mean that the top of my right hand feels so cold that it literally hurts? To my surprise, it's not cold at all! I put the heating pad on it and it's a relief. It may last an hour or so then it's gone. Thank you sir and send me your bill!

[fishinghat]

There are many conditions like this. Cold back of hand, back of leg, etc. Tingling in these areas or other unusual feeling. They are usually associated with a condition called polyneuropathy.

"Polyneuropathy is any illness that attacks numerous nerves in the body, sometimes causing weakness and/or pain. It tends to be a systemic problem that affects more than one nerve group at a time. Polyneuropathies are relatively symmetric, often affecting sensory, motor, and vasomotor fibers simultaneously."  Mayo Clinic Site.

 

Basically the external nerves of the body misbehave. This can be due to old age, nerve damage, brain injury, etc. but most commonly just simply develops out of the blue and unless associated with pain may not need treating. My wife has several types of polyneuropathy due to trauma from her back surgeries. Cold feeling on the top of her left foot and back pf left calf.  Tingling on the back of her right upper arm and others.

 

The strange conditions are more likely to occur in areas lacking soft tissue and not as many nerves such as the back of arm. legs, hands, feet, etc.

[Raven72]

weird always

I am hoping Mad made it back safely. We had a big weekend. He so enjoyed the Talladega Superspeedway. He equally excited about visiting Mount Cheaha National Park. We hiked some, had a picnic and visited their restaurant. We stayed for hot drinks. Max and I enjoyed hot tea, but he was upset there was no brandy in it.

Hope you all had a good weekend. Sorry about your troubles Gail. Prayers for you.

[gail]

Always present

Thanks Captain for the explanation. Old age hum! I see that it's nothing to be scary about and you know that I scare easily.

Raven, Mad Max, a lapsus probably! Don't you have any snow there? It has already started here.

[Raven72]

present day

 

Gail - We had a wonderful time this weekend and it was cold, but no snow here yet. We rarely get snow but when we do the just about the whole darn state shuts down.

[gail]

Day over

All or nothing. Today was hazardous on the roads here. Brand new winter tires on my big fancy car. I like to call it that even though it's 11 years old. Low mileage.

A wonderful time, that is good to hear Raven! Good for you.
