Hey, yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Of course, I

didn't get anything done outside. Wanted to get

potting soil and plant a few things in the barrel, but

had too much other stuff to do. We do need the rain,

but I am also ready for spring! Drove to

church early this morning (he is playing keyboard in

all three services this morning), and it was very

cold. Looks like it is going to be beautiful again

today though. Continued good luck on your doctor

hunt, and on getting that BP down. Love, squeek

Hey, the carpet in our bedroom is the original and our

house is about 30 years old. Now you know why we call

it yuck. New carpet is on my to do list asap. Just

so many things the house needs right now. It's

showing its age. Just had to have the roof cleaned

and treated for moss. Next is new gutters and

downspouts upstairs. It's never ending! Good luck on

your projects around your house. I enjoy fixing up

our home! Or more aptly, paying someone else to do it

these days. I just painted our bedroom

recently...won't say how long it took me. Told my

husband that I am now a retired painter. Never want

to do that again. Thats why the carpet looks so

terrible now. The walls look great tho'. Take care

and keep using that wonderful phrase....I love you!

Love, squeek

Hi Glenda,

So sorry about all that you and your sister are going

through right now. It must be so hard watching your

sister be in pain, and not knowing what her prognosis

is. Sister's are so special!

I will be praying for both of you in the coming days.

Hope you can find a really great PCP. Sounds to me

like the current one makes your bp worse!!

Take care of yourself and holler if you need to talk.

I'm only a phone call away.

Love, squeek

Oh Glenda, are you trying to return the favor and make

me boo-hoo too? Sisters are just the best aren't

they? Both of mine are having health problems right

now too, and I worry so much about them. Can't

imagine my life without them.

I'm glad we are close, and I know for sure that if I

ever need anything all I have to do is call. Hope you

know the same thing.

Now, you take care of yourself too. Gotta' get that

bp under control!

Love, squeek

Oh yes Glenda i told my husband i didn't mind us flying out to San Diego to see my doctor there every 6 mos. I've lived in New Jersey, South Carolina and Texas i lived here the longest of the 3. When i flew to San Diego last year, i had never seen anything like it. The houses are literally built on the sides of hills or mountains. The whole scenery looked so unreal. The weather is so nice, i just love it there. Have a good day

Lots of love

Re:

,

Sounds like you are enjoying the idea of going to the Dr. in San Diego! Now I know you are sick!LOL No not really! I am like you love to just drive around and look at the beautiful landscapes. There is some really beautiful country here on the west coast that is for sure. I think that is why I like living here in Oregon so much. I can still see the mountains in a distance every day. Hope you have a great Dr. visit and a wonderful trip!

Lots of love

Glenda

I will be flying to San Diego where i see Pulmonary doctor there who specializes in RP and stenting and other Auto immune diseases and it's effects on the Airway. I am leaving on June 2, and returning on the 5th. We are going to fly into LAX, and drive down the coast to Sandiego on the 4th. i can't wait to see San Diego, i think it is so pretty there. You take care and i will stop rambling here.....Bye,

Yeah, I like the idea of a slumper party! Might just

be a whole lot better than a kick in the butt. Forced

myself to go work in the yard somemore and even though

I have to pay dearly for that, I do think it helps my

mental outlook. I ache all over!

Take care and thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I

am still praying for you and for your sister.

hi Glenda

I am so glad your sister is doing better. I am sure that is a big worry off your mind. Do they think the kidney problem is from the RP. I know it can affect that but not sure how.

I am getting ready to head for Big Bear for the weekend so will be off line till sunday night.

I am beginning to wonder if I don't have fibro or something else that affects the joints. Today I am in pain and having a really hard time getting around. I don't know why, I know its the hip joints and the knees. Probably arthitis.But when this hits and believe it this happens pretty often, My hips feel like they are on fire and the knees hurt and sort of feel like the knee cap is pinching something off in there. Nothing so far has helped. My stupid rheumy says its old age and won't do anything about it.He should see me on one the days that i can't hardly walk. When I do walk i look like a penguin wadaling (sp) across the room. THe hip joints won't move freely.

Sorry I guess this turn into a whining session. Maybe it will be better when I get to my new camper and relx.

love ya

Nope haven't found a new dr. yet. My PCP is a butt and that is all there is to it. I do have one good thing going for me and that is my rheumy. He is doing a much better job at looking out for me now that he knows the PCP isn't. Wants copies of everything the other dr.'s do.

My flare was over as fast as it came. That is how they are while on the Imuran. I am lucky in that matter. I still get a twinge here or there but nothing that last more than a day.

Right now I am seeing a urologist and am waiting to get all the results back from that. I promise as soon as I hear from the urologist I will let you know what is going on.

Family is doing fine. I haven't heard from my son for awhile but am sure he is fine. Would have heard from him if he wasn't.LOL Sister went to the dr. the other day and she is allowed to drive again. She is still on the mend but so far so good! We just keep good thoughts and prayers going that the surgery will work this time.

Thanks for being there you are such a sweetie!

Lots of love

Glenda

Glenda, How the heck are eyeore, Is the job still doing ok?? Did you finally get over your flare???? I sure hope so, and have your hired and new Dr./ I do hope you fired the old one.

Hi Glenda! Thanks for the new update. I will be

praying for not only your sister and you, but also

that God will give special wisdom to her doctors at

this time. Call me if you need to talk to someone

Hi Glenda,

I'm doing so-so, better some days, and not so good

other. I'm certainly not sure that Remicade is so

great. I am lowering my prednisone, but at what

cost???

Wish we could get together too, Glenda. Now with

summer and our grandchildren both out of school it

gets even more complicated. Then factor in your

job....I'd still love to see you.

You take care of yourself, too. Have you been back to

your doctor and got all your results yet? Wasn't

there an appt coming up this month? Be sure and let

me know how you're doing.

Love, squeek

Well, good gravy Glenda, no wonder we never get

together! With all you have going on I don't know how

you find the time to do anything else.

Thanks for the update on yourself and your sister. I

have been thinking about you and wondering what was

going on. Hopefully things will continue to go well

for your sister, and for you too!!

Take care and have fun fixing up your house. It is

sure a lot of work, but worth it when you see how nice

everything looks.

Thanks, Glenda! I'm always hoping the same darn

thing, but my ears just seem to have a mind of their

own. At least the flares aren't as bad or as long, so

that is a step in the right direction.

How are you doing? Finished with the home

redecorating yet? We are going to be doing some

repairs on our home this summer also, starting with an

exterior paint job.

Hope you and your sister are both well.

Take care! Love, squeek

Glenda, It sure sounds like your house is looking wonderful. Would you mind

coming down here and doing mine? lOL You had better take a rest. We don't

want you to flare because of too much work. geez, you and Heidi should hire

out to redo houses, clean and iron. You could make a forture. LOL I want to

be first on the list to hire you.

I'm glad your sister is a bit better. Tell her Hi for me and give her a hug.

I'll keep her in my prayers and hope that infection goes away soon.

hugs

[Guest guest]

,

After the kids come and go in July I would be glad to come and do your house....good excuse to come see you!LOL I will tell our sister tomorrow when I take her to the dr. what you said.

As for the house....guess what the carpet layers will be her to do the carpet at 9am and I had to rush and do the floor in the entry way so they could finish the carpet there. Oh it is going to be so pretty when it is done. I will send pictures when it is done so you can see.

Lots of love

Glenda

[Guest guest]

Oh, it is definitely a plus that the flares are not as

bad! I just want them to disappear!

It sounds as if your home is going to be beautiful. I

don't know how you work full time and do all that work

on your place too. Wonder woman! So, is Shae going

to get the purple room that she wanted a while back?

Glad to hear that your sister is doing well, except

for the arm. I'm sure you're right about it needing

more time. I'm still praying for her.

Do post pictures when you are finished redecorating.

Maybe I'll get some ideas for our house.

Thanks for the whispering! Keep me in your prayers

that I will be able to keep going down on the

prednisone. If the fatigue is all I have to worry

about, I can deal with that. I'm good (sometimes)

about listening to my body and getting the rest I

need. Neighbors who light off fireworks all night do

not help though!!! Take care and don't kill yourself

on that house.

Sorry for the delay! I had my mother in law here for

a few days. She is a sweetheart and I love her to

pieces, but she will be 94 years old next month and it

is hard for her to leave her own home. When she is

here, I am her security blanket and she won't let me

out of her sight. Good thing I love her so much!

Yes, Glenda! I will blame the painting on you...darn

you anyway! I really do hate to paint and swore I

would never do it again after doing our bedroom a few

months back. But, houses get old and they need care,

so I am back to painting. I have the front bathroom

done except for some very minor touch-ups. I'm a

lousy painter! Today I started on the entry way. Our

house has been white, white, white forever, but I am

changing all that. My living room, hall, and entry

are going to be blue. In fact I started on the entry

today and I love my color.

I guess I work like Mike cause I take lots of

breaks....expecially in this dreadful HEAT! I have my

AC on, but it is just a small unit and doesn't cool

the entire house.

Wow, you are having a long visit with your kids! Hope

you are not going to get too tired out!

Take care, and thanks for the painting inspiration!

Love, squeek

Hey, Glenda, what day in August is your anniversary?

Our is the 25th of August and it will be our 39th!

That's scary cause I don't think I am old enough to

have been married for that long. Good to see lots of

posts from you this morning!!!! Love, squeek

Oh no, my house is not gorgeous yet. I am calling the

window people this morning to get a few windows

replaced. Can't afford to do them all at

once....darn! Then on Fri. we will make the decision

as to who we will hire to paint the exterior. So much

to do! We are going to start laying the wood for the

kitchen, dining room, and entry flooring this weekend.

I'm tired already just thinking of it. So, when are

you posting the pictures of the " new look " at your

house?

I don't know about Mom's hating to see their kids

go....all of ours still live right here in good old

Eugene. I know I would hate it if any of them moved

away!

You take care, Glenda, and if you ever get a day off,

you know who to call. We'll meet at our separate

Shari's again. LOL

Love, squeek

Our eldest, a daughter, is going to be 37 next month.

That just seems so unreal to me! Time flies when

you're having fun I guess. It was a good month for

marriages, wasn't it? Love, squeek
