Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 , Hope you are feeling better now. Mocha? When you do see your audi, ask her if she will show you how to take the Freedom apart completely, just so you can see what is involved. You never know, you may need this when you are somewhere.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi , I'm feeling much better now -- thanks. I ended up taking one of my meds to relax me and went to sleep for awhile. I just woke up (thinking that today was actually tomorrow LOL) and took my nighttime dose of the daily inhaler I take for asthma and am doing fine now. As far as the Freedom is concerned, the only thing I don't know how to do is insert and remove the magnet. I know how to remove the cable coil, the battery cage and the controller, but I will ask my audi about all of these things just the same when I do see her. Peppermint mocha? How did you know? LOL. That earned you a free mocha yourself my friend! <smile> , who can't wait to enjoy her peppermint mocha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Jim, You said $4 mochas are so 2005. LOL!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi , I'm in a good mood today, so I plan to try attaching the cable coil to my Freedom as soon as I return home from an appointment I'm getting ready to leave for. As for Jim, what else could we send him besides a mocha? How about some coffee beans? It won't be the same as a mocha, but at least he can still have a caffeine fix. LOL.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Jim, Microwaves are devices that produce heat which in turn makes food hot. They come in very handy especially if you're lazy like me and don't like to use the oven. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Let's try this again. Jim, Microwaves are devices that heat food. They're especially good for people like myself who are too lazy to use the oven. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 *sigh* My computer obviously has a mind of its own today. Sorry for the duplicate message. To make this CI related, I still have not heard from my audi. I don't know if she's on vacation, but I plan to send her another e-mail today to find out when my next appointment with her is. I'm hoping the new cable coil though will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 , I could use a good mood myself! LOL I did just have coffee so am getting there. I am afraid Jim wont know what to do with coffee beans for undoubtedly, he has no inkling what a coffee mill is. So no point in telling him what a microwave oven does. LOL The nice thing about email is that they work better than playing phone tag. The drawback is, you dont know if the recipient received the email. I sent an email to someone at city hall a month ago and have not heard back. Grrrr. Let us know how the new coil is working out for you. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met. & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Mona, Do you know how to separate the controller from the battery section? Because if you're going to use the 2 battery disposable option, that's different from using a rechargeable battery, which requires a different controller,etc. So just act like you're brand new at the audi dept and have her show you how it's done so you can practice. Was so HOT here today, and I was having a garage sale. 88 degrees. Threat of thunderstorms. 2 neighbors who were supposed to participate didn't, one because it was too hot, and the other because her mother wasn't ready. So when we finished, we put most of the stuff back in the garage (there were 3 of us doing it at my place). Then I heard it's not a thunderstorm but a HUGE storm. Figured I'd better take the tents all the way down and store them (in my car), and all the tables so they aren't flying off to Oz or somewhere. Nimue was so antsy with all the people coming in and out of the garage area, that she tried to climb the fence. Literally caught her with her bottom paws about 2 rungs up and trying to move all the way. I threw up a baracade to keep her away from the corner, and then only had to re do the baracade every 10 minutes. My dog is smarter than I am. Brought her in when the rain started, and she was so scared, she went under the kitchen table, which is where Phoenix, the previous dog, used to hide during thunderstorms. Nimue's den is under the sewing machine, but apparantly wasn't " safe enough " . She'll sleep inside tonight. Don't want her mastering the fine art of fence climbing! At least the rain took away the humidity, which was WAY too high. So should be comfortable for the next couple of days. ____________________________________________________________ Criminal Lawyers - Click here. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/BLSrjpTOVoLVfWFbNf6fuOF9OO68DLYdZj4K\ sojrCUleK0UDM6yGJrv5v6w/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 , I am glad to hear that you have found some relief for your knee. I know it has to be so frusrating for you know.? I pray that the new med will soon beging working for your hands and wrists.? I know that some of the meds take six weeks or more to see the best results so I am praying for you to have the patience you need to get to that place.? I will pray that by the time school starts you will be feeling very well.? I am also glad to know that you blood in your urine is gone. I have no knowledge about that sort of thing.? I know many people that have passed stones and have never heard of anyone that it was not very painful for. But then you are an amazing young woman and probably you have a high pain tollerance after all you have been through.? When you get the chance to see the doctor be sure to address the issue even though it is in the past. I know sometimes we just let things go after they are done and don't want to talk about them. I hope you are enjoying your summer getting ready for your new job. I hope that your new insurance will be accepted by your rheumy.? I know that alone can cause stress just getting that all lined out.? We are still dealing with insurance issues with Jaye. Her rheumy accepts her insurance but she has not been approved by the neurologist to be seen yet. He will only take a certain number of patients on medicaid so we are not sure.? She has an appoiintment with the neuro on Friday so we are praying each day that the approval comes through. Changing a neuro would be devistating for her at this point she has been with him since shortly after her seizures were diagnosed.? Veri & Jaye 15 poly Update I have been taking the Azithoriprine for about two weeks now. Not a huge improvement but no big side effects either. I am still incredibly stiff and painful and my hands and wrists are useless for the first five hours each morning. I have found some relief in my knee which has been treatment resistant for the last two years, so whether that is due to the new drug or the prednisone increase I am not sure but I am definitely enjoying that. The problem with the blood in the urine stopped. I am confused as to what it would be part of me wonders if it was kidney stones as I passed three rice shaped things (about long grain sized) with blood attached (TMI I know) but I wasn't have extreme pain or anything. My insurance situation is tricky right now so I wasn't able to go see a doctor about it. I still have insurance but the payments on the appointments is soo expensive. My new insurance starts in August through my job so when I go see my rheumy I will talk to her about it. At this point I still need to figure out whether or not my rheumy will take my new insurance. I hope everyone is doing well. With Love, (MCTD, 24) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I really hope they let her keep seeing her neuro since he is already so familiar with her case. It's so hard to build up rapport with a new doctor when you have a complex case. I will keep her in my prayers that the approval comes through! I have accepted the fact that I might not get to keep seeing her but it honestly would suck. When I switched from peds to adult Dr. C came highly recommended from my old pediatric rheumy Dr. Sanborg because she works with all of the adult JIA patients from Lucille Packard Children's hospital. She understands that pediatric onset arthritis in adults is very different from adult onset arthritis. However I also know if they don't take it that I am very lucky to live in the San Francisco bay area where there are hundreds of doctors. I believe UCSF is covered on my insurance so I may be able to transfer up there where I know there are doctors who work with adult JIA patients. Being an adult is hard, being an adult with a pre-existing condition can be just downright annoying.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yes, Jeff, my PT wouldn't work with me when I had pain and swelling, you are really supposed to rest, ice, elevate when this happens. I know it's a bummer because it is a setback. In the end it will be OK. Hollie > Hi All, > Well my knee is still hurting although the sewelling has gone down considerably. I went back to pt today and therapist looked at it and decided to just go easy and after stretching a little I did about 10 minutes on the bike and it was hurting pretty bad, so that was it. He suggested I call the os so I did and have an appointment next Tuesday morning. > Still icing and elevating and it's still hurting. > Jeff > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi Hollie, I realize that from many previous rounds of pt, but wanted his input and at least I got some treatment for it. I'm sure it'll be fine, just frustrating to have a setback. I really don't think it's anything serious but worth getting checked out by os.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Donna, Sorry things have been so rough for . I pray that things will be better soon. How are you doing? I know that you will keep us informed and that you are hangin tough. Veri & Jaye 15 poly update It has been a very long 9 days. went in for meniscus repair on his knee August 20th. The first few days seemed to be normal post op issues. Swelling, pain and irritability. However, all symptoms increased and fever set in by 24th. Communications with doc took us through a change in meds but things only got worse. A call to the Dr on Wednesday evening took us to the ER. We learned the symptoms were not normal and the knee had too much fluid on it. 80 mls were drained and we were sent home at 6:00am with antibiotics. The white cell count was double what it should have been indicating infection so we did as instructed and went to the orthopedic Dr early morning on the 26th. After an eval and looking at the ER report we were sent across the street for a second surgery. This was to drain more fluid, look at the knee and clean up what could be cleaned. was admitted and an infectious disease dr was called in. Samples were sent out to be cultured but nothing conclusive yet. However the knee has refilled with fluid, despite antibiotic treatment white count is still up and will be going back to the O.R. at 1:00 pm tomorrow...please say a prayer for him. He is tired, scared and just wanats to get back to school and the ROTC program! hangin.... Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
