Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi All, Just checking in. I am in Laguna Beach with my sister and don't have computer access. We come here each year in March in rememberance of my mom. She died March 15, 2006 and we decided to celebrate her life each year by staying in her favorite place and eating at her favorite restaurants. I am so sad to read about . I was so excited for him when he got to go home for Christmas and I'm heartbroken he didn't make it. Haven't caught up with the other posts yet and hope everyone else is doing well. Love you all- R.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I hope the PT helps your balance! Wouldn't that be wonderful?? Let us know how it goes for you. I sure wish you could spend some painfree time at the garden plot!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

To: mserslife Sent: Tue, July 12, 2011 2:08:01 PMSubject: checking in Back in April, I paid for my plot in the community garden. I have only been to the garden 3 times, the first two times, I left the garden with such pain in my back. The last time I went to the garden, I only stayed 45 minutes. I left without pain in my back; but, got involved with some kind of activity at home that caused my back to spazz out and gave me pain that lasted more than a week. I took Tylenol and Aleve to try and relieve the pain, to no avail. The only relief I got was when I tied a freezer pack to the painful area. The Nurse Practitioner that I see wanted to send me to physical therapy to get a TENS unit. I saw the physical therapist this morning and she said that she will address my back but wants to work on my balance. She said that balance can be relearned. Funny thing is, I never think there is anything wrong with my balance until I lose it. I have fallen 3 times over the last month. That's what I told the therapist. Years ago, I used to walk every day. I could walk 3 miles in just under an hour. Falling didn't make me quit walking until it became an every day occurrence. I would still go walking if one of my sons went with me. In the past, I have been to physical therapy for my back, shoulders, knees, and ankles. It doesn't really help; except it does make the doctors happy because I'm cooperating with them. During her assessment of my balance, she had me walk in a straight line first with my eyes open, then with them closed. Then she had me keep my eyes open and walk in a straight line all the will I was moving my head side to side, then up an down. She then had me sit down and went and got this spongy looking cushion. It was maybe 4 or 5 inches thick. She helped me to stand up on it. Then she had me just stand first with my feet slightly apart, then with them together. She had me repeat the same thing with my eyes closed. My balance was worse with my eyes closed. I told her that I was glad the sidewalks were not made of that stuff; but, if they were it wouldn't hurt as much if I fell. Of course, it would make getting back up somewhat harder. The therapist thinks that the balance issues could go hand in hand with the pain in my back. So, that's why she wants to address my balance. There are times when I feel I can't trust my own body to cooperate with what I want it to do.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 No, Jackie, The hurricane is supposed to come and hit us really hard, with windsup to 80mph, tomorrow. Everyone is really freaking out. Milk, waterand many supplies are flying off the shelves. I still need to get out formilk and a few other things, but I'm worried; my husband says the linesare L O N G.Please pray that it isn't too bad. I am in the mood for a good storm, but not the type and severity that this one may cause.Bloomberg (NYC's mayor) has already declared a state of emergency.Should be pretty wild...will fill you in if I keep power.love to all,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2011 10:43 AMSubject: Checking in Hi everyone,…hope you all are doing okay, and staying cool and safe. We are suppose to get temps up in the 90’s today, and then by next Wed. its dropping down to 69. I hope this will be the last of the hot hot weather. I’ve been wanting to get out of my house but just can’t take the chance with the heat. Last week was a hard one with me being so bored. I’m getting tired of the same’o same’o all the time. I never know what to write here because there isn’t really anything new to talk about, and I hate to just come on here and complain. I’ve got plenty to say about all the stuff I don’t like. L Yay! for you you’re getting new glasses, and my favorite color purple! Nice to see you posting Debbi! Glad you are getting better Kate, and the hurricane bypassed you and Akiba. Sorry to hear about the dogs getting in your yard again Sharon, glad your grandson was able to protect everyone. Hope your TN is getting better and your PC lasts long enough so we don’t lose communication from you. Tina, Teri, and the rest of you I’ll have to go back and see what’s going on with you as my memory just flaked on me. Going back to bed for a couple hours, so I’ll check in later to see if there’s anything new. Thanks for the continued prayers, nne.

L Yay! for you you’re getting new glasses, and my favorite color purple! Nice to see you posting Debbi! Glad you are getting better Kate, and the hurricane bypassed you and Akiba. Sorry to hear about the dogs getting in your yard again Sharon, glad your grandson was able to protect everyone. Hope your TN is getting better and your PC lasts long enough so we don’t lose communication from you. Tina, Teri, and the rest of you I’ll have to go back and see what’s going on with you as my memory just flaked on me. Going back to bed for a couple hours, so I’ll check in later to see if there’s anything new. Thanks for the continued prayers, nne.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sorry to hear about your mother. But a good thing that she/they caught it early! Will kep her in my thoughts and prayers.love/Reb>> I just got through all of my e-mail for the past week and a half. I> haven't been on the computer much. We got all caught up and two of the TV> series that we were behind on (full season behind on both of them - thank> goodness for DVR's), and I've been having some mood problems, particularly> anxiety problems, so I've been lying on hubby's lap a lot, as that helps> keep it at bay.> > Thanksgiving was....interesting. My mother in law had a knee replacement> surgery November 9th, so she asked hubby to cook Thanksgiving dinner at her> place. He cooked the pumpkin pie here the night before, was going to cook> the applesauce cake, but was stressed out and didn't. So he gets up> Thanksgiving morning, goes over to the in-laws (a block away) to put the> turkey in the oven (it was NOT fully thawed), comes back home and after a> while, makes the applesauce cake. We were supposed to be eating at 3 -> assuming the turkey got done at 2:30 and 30 minutes to rest, and using that> time to make the icing for the cake and bake the cherry pie. Well, it was> a comedy of errors. Despite there only being 6 of us, my father-in-law> decided he would deep fry a turkey breast, too. Hubby wanted me outside> with my father in law while he did this. Okay, fine. So I'm sitting there> talking to my father in law - I had gone in the house earlier and hubby had> gone out and they had turned the heat down - and my father in law commented> that they must have turned it way down because the oil was cooling down so> fast. I told him I was smelling a lot of gas, and sure enough, the wind> had blown the flame out. So he got it going again, after a few minutes> checked the temperature of the breast, which was 98 degrees, and he told me> to go tell hubby it will probably be ready about 2:30. So I went in to> tell hubby, hubby went out and talked to him for a bit, and when hubby came> inside, I went out there. I didn't hear the flame - at all. So I> mentioned it to him. He was out of gas. Luckily, he had gas for his grill> that he just switched over after a few minutes. Once the breast was done,> I went back in. I had taken a Klonopin earlier in the day because of> anxiety, and I sat down on the couch and started falling asleep. Hubby> kept waking me up, and finally my mother in law said let her sleep, she's> obviously tired. Mother in law was having the same situation as her pain> pills made her tired. So I dozed for quite a while. Finally the turkey> was done at about 4:30 (did I mention that it was still partially frozen?)> and there was a flurry of activity baking the sweet potatoes, etc. I think> we finally sat down at the table at 5. My nephew dropped by just after we> finished dessert with his girlfriend, which was nice. But my poor hubby> was exhausted, and stressed out beyond belief. We still have a HUGE amount> of turkey leftover (youngest son ate both the legs), the turkey is still> sitting in the fridge waiting for hubby to take the thighs off - and> because of that, every time we open the door to the refrigerator, the dog> tries to get in and sniff the turkey. Thank goodness the stuffing and the> sweet potatoes are gone, so we only have to deal with the turkey container,> and the carcass. But we still have leftovers of all the desserts.> > My mom called me Wednesday morning last week. Last year, she had a very> scary incident where blood flow in her femoral artery was blocked off for> more than 24 hours.
