Hi Friends ! ! ! Just wana let you know though I've had some bad days there

have parts of the days that have been meaningful to me. Three days working

around the house results in two days spent in bed on a heating pad w/blue

ice. I've accomplished several things. I've refused to just do nothing as

that would be to simply giving in.

New Kitty cat has been a blessing, she greets me 1st thing in the morning

waiting for her 1st can of food so to her I'm #1. The comfort she has to

offer has been great. Her name is Snoopy as she is getting into evrything

around the house but that's is ok.

Learning to live w/out RX pain meds has been difficult but I AM managing

fairly well. I decided not to allow the pain stop me. I pace myself in evry

task I take on as not to end up in to much agony.

Soon I will start reading every post and replieng to the ones I feel like I

have something to contribute to.

But for the past week or so I have just been skimming over most.

GOD Bless You All ! ! ! . . .

(((Hugs))) , I so know what that is like. If I do the chores around

the house, I pay dearly.

I usually try to baby step the housework.

I love cats! I have four of my own. Do you have a Catster page for

your cat yet? You can see all my brood on

http://www.catster.com/cats/135860, that's Cheshire's page, when you

scroll down you can see the rest of the fur family on the right hand

side.

Hi ,

I'm glad you've had some meaningful times and some accomplishments. Those are

what keep us going. The payback for doing any kind of work is always almost

double the time I need later to recover, I see you are the same. I don't know

what blue ice is, does it add moisture to the heating pad?

I love the name of your new kitty and I'm glad she has been such a comfort to

you. My kitty LC (Little Cat) is a great comfort to me. He loves the days I'm

ill and lay on the sofa with my comfy quilt so he can snuggle with me. He

doesn't like the days I'm better and do stuff and he lets me know it loudly.

I had been making it without pain meds for many years so I know what you are

going through. Last month my doctor gave me 5mg of hydrocodone that I can take

3Xday or 3 at once, which ever I need. I can hardly believe the difference it

has made. It certainly doesn't take all the pain away, I take it divided during

the day, but since I've had no help with the pain it makes me feel so much

better.

I too have to remember to pace myself though. Since I have the meds now I

have found myself overdoing it and paying for it later. Since I have pneumonia

complicated by Sarcoidosis, I'm not doing much of anything right now. Just

typing and reading posts is exhausting, but I want to get back to being in the

group.

Take care of yourself ,

Marti
