Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Thanks for the information. I've been telling myself that I need to start a vitamin regamin as well as a diet change. I doing good on the diet change but slacking on getting down the vitamins. But I'm just going to have to start taking them with my Elavil and Premarin at night.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well, just when I think I am doing soooo good...is there any getting over this???? Yesterday I had to stay home with my daughter, and we had a water leak from the washer machine, which I had to tug and pull at to get away from the wall to get behind the big sucker to figure out what was wrong. And just now...it;s hitting me. My right chest area, my right back shoulder blade, my right jaw area, my neck....and at 30 minutes or so, a big fatigue sweep rushed through me like a ton of bricks. I'm all of sudden so tired...like I could fall asleep in my chair. If I can just hang on for 2 more hours, I'll be able to make it for work. Then I can go home and sleep. Tomorrow we have to register for my daughter's school. She's scared. It's first grade. Last night we put her to bed, and just as I started drifting off to sleep, I hear her, " Mama " " What? " " When you were in first grade, was it hard? " " Well honey, I didn't have any problems in the first grade, you will do just fine. " pause " Mama " " What? " " Did you ever get any cards pulled in the first grade? " (Cards are their discipline, you get 1 card pulled you miss so many minutes recess, etc.) " No honey, we didn't do that back then, we just got paddled if we were bad, but no, I didn't get paddled in the first grade. YOu'll do fine. " She is so sweet. a Faye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 I never even thought of that...LOL...but she did well this morning. She got the 1st grade teacher she wanted, which made it easier for me and I'm sure for her also. We went and talked to the librarian. I didn't realize until this morning how she really loves the library. I read to her at night but working full time, only my sister has taken her to the library this summer. Which I am thankful for my sister, she is a life saver at times. She's a teacher at our church during the school year, and she's off during the summer. I was shocked to hear the conversation Kerianne had with the librarian this morning though, I was soooo PROUD of her. She's growing up so fast and is a great child. Well, have a great day. a Faye --- parrot004@... wrote: > LOL...She's probably scared to death now! Awaiting > this nasty teacher with a > big paddle! > > Missy > > > .)

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Hi Gail, Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming. I'm far from out of the woods with this. Mom is driving me batty with her insistance that I eat when I'm nauseated and then being critical when I do eat..she had a fit because I used tabasco sauce in my tuna salad...now I'm having a pain attack 6 hours later and she's blaming it on that. She can be irrational at times and I'm trying my best to get her to chill out but not much success there...stress on me...blood sugar and pain soar. I'm going to have to tough it out until I get disability staying with her...I've got other outlets to go if need be for a night or two. I'm planning on going to Texas to stay with my biological mom for a week or so when I am feeling a little bit better. Don't need her watching over me 24/7 either. I'm off to try and eat something.
