Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Road trip? Yikes ! Not with me at the wheel.....I wouldn't know Tennessee if I fell over it. The fundraiser went extremely well yesterday. They raised muchos bucks for Wendi and her kids.....great news coverage, terrific music, food, games for the kids, and raffles. I even went home with a DVD player. This morning was a chuckle though. On the news they had a terrific interview first with Ronnie's brother and then with Wendi. The camera then went to....you guessed it.....me and Elsie (Wendi's mom) at the food table all by ourselves loading our plates. Well, at least I was trying to load my plate. They caught a lovely shot of me and my trusty catheter fumbling and dropping stuff. So graceful.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I am so glad that it went so well Barbara but what I do not have correct idea of is what the catheter looks like, what you can see, where it goes in and out and sounds like you have some sort of bag that you may carry over the shoulder holding the meds? Just would like idea and is this something they could use to put the same med around lower back for those with rsd in legs/feet? Would that not surround the nerves where give block or put the SCS and calm those same nerves? Alot to ask and may not have it worded correctly to make sense but hope you can understand what asking Barbara. Hope you are able to have good day without phone calls and no flare from doing so mch yesterday. Can you just put phone on taking messages so you can rest my friend? After all it is a vacation. Maybe you could go to some place and stay at hotel and enjoy the rest in other area. Please take care, you need the rest I am sure. Will look forward to hearing how much ya'll were able to make for Wendi and her kids. Much love s Momma JoAnn Re: Tricia, JoAnn > > On the news they had a terrific interview first with Ronnie's > brother and then with Wendi.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 > > Strawberri daquri's are my fav. Only non alcohlic. I enjoy the company so much better sitting at the table instead of under it. You sound alot like me Laurie. I love to people watch and would rather do it with a sober mind. Besides its so much more enjoyable to actually remember the night before Hugs Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I rarely drink since my daughter was born 12 yrs ago. I always have this fear that something would happen to her that would warrant me being totally alert. But even before she was born I rarely drank, like you Joann I was raised by alcoholic parents and the last thing I wanted to do was be like them. But I do like fruity drinks and an occasional kahlua sombraro..mmmmmmmmm Hugs Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Lol, Donna. It was on both channel 22 and 40 although only 40 caught Elsie and me. They showed it at 6 and 11 last night and then again this morning. You may be out of luck.....but probably a break for me.

Yippee, yahoo...sorry, making a ruckus way too late at night LOL!! *settled down now* ok so now we just have to plan a time. *GRIN* Talk to you all soon Hugs Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I have to say that it's hard for me to envision being able to pull off a drive to Memphis. Gives new meaning to the phrase "road trip." Yikes. Are you guys serious? What the heck kinda drugs are you on ?!?!??!?!!?!??!

Congrats on the DVD player.....perhaps we could do a movie thing? Sorry I missed the news though.....would've tuned in if I'd have known As for road trips, we could always take my car. Nice RAV4, plenty of room for us to stretch out and get comfy (especially considering the several dozen rest stops along the way that we'll have to visit ) The family that I have living down there is in Norris, which is East Tenn, but they used to live in Nashville, which is North central Tenn, so I've got 2/3 of the state covered. Memphis is actually in West Tenn, but we'll have to go through the parts I know to get to it, so all should be well JoAnn - Not sure about a catheter for the legs. The nerve blocks specifically aimed for the legs, LSBs, the injection actually goes in to the lower back, right above the hip. So, I would assume if there is some type of continous catheter along that line, that would be the area it went in. I've had two of the epidural catheters that Barbara mentioned for my legs. That injection starts at the base of the spine, but the catheter is tunneled out on your side. The first one of those that I had was absolute bliss.....most human I've felt since this all began. But, I do agree that really should get a second opinion just to see what's really going on with those blisters. Can't hurt and it may actually help.

Must go now to watch my team and see what new and exciting ways they've come up with to elevate my BP and give games away G'night all.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 No there not on drugs Barbara they are on "meds" . Remember it is the ER's that think we take drugs. And besides just think how many times you could sing 99 beers on the wall......all the way down to 0 on that wall and oh yeah the spotting a particular color of car, oh Barbara it will test your limits of intellect and singing voice. And you can drink chocolate milkshakes so think now you must be already packing waiting to head down here, right?!!!!!! Make sure you write a Journal so we can get the joy of knowing all that happened!!!!! Hugs my friend and hope you don't get calls from work today or rest of week.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Well, JoAnn. All I know is that in order for me to go on a road trip to Memphis I'd have to be on drugs not meds. No way no how. Too much. Infusion just left and I've been a busy bee today. I wrapped 13 presents for my niece and baked her birthday cake. Now I'm pooped but still have to do the drive to my GP's office about 40 minutes form here for the "not-so-annual" physical. Yuk. NOT what I feel like doing. After that it's back on down here for my niece's b'day party. Barbara (who's thinking she may sleep through the whole party)JoAnn & Russ Ford wrote: No there not on drugs Barbara they are on "meds" .
