Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi Jeanetta, Yes I still have books available for 12.00 each. These are used books and in some cases new ones also. I call them " 2nd Chance Review Books, " to help those who do not have the money to buy new ones. http://www.geocities.com/techlectures/2ndchance.html Also looking for donations of books as my supply will only last so long. Joe Medina, CPhT ------------ Thank you Joe, for your kind words. You have a good product and service and I am proud to allow you advertisement four times a year, as per my standard advertising policy. Your book/CD is also among those that I have reviewed and recommend in the files study guide section. When will you latest edition(s) be available? By the way do you still have the second chance review books avaiable? If so how much are they? Several posters have shown interest in used books. Respectfully, Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Founder/Owner ---------------- Hi Everyone, Jeanetta allows me a few marketing postings per year, so I thought I would begin this new year by informing or reminding you of another website for the Pharmacy Technician called Tech Lectures. Tech Lectures has been around for over ten years now and has helped many in the passing of the national exam and also in offering certified Techs in getting affordable and excellent Pharmacy Technician specific CE. Please stop by and if you like what you see.... inform your fellow Pharmacy Technicians as I am sure they will be appreciative of you letting them know about Tech Lectures. We are not a money-making venture and only charge prices, (when necessary), that will cover our own costs associated. Most offerings you find on Tech Lectures are free because we understand that one need not charge for everything offered and more importantly… we simply care. Many thanks to Jeanetta for allowing me this opportunity to inform or remind you of Tech Lectures for the Pharmacy Technician. This is a wonderful forum with a great membership base and great owner and moderator in Jeanetta Mastron and Dora . It is surprising how wonderful life can be when you find individuals such as Jeanetta and Dora who actually care.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 i'm just very curious, since my doc did not order PT for me, what kind of exercises you all are doing, for your hips? i hope my doc didn't screw up. he told me to continue doing the exercises i learned in the hospital and to walk, that walking is the best thing i can do, that and the abductor muscle exercises. my hip feels fine, totally. Hugs,Lindy LouRight THR 1/22/2007 I'm new to the group and I had a right total hip replacement in November. I'm doing well and actually finished with PT a few weeks ago. I'm still going though, through a "gym program" they have at my PT office. I went to my orthopedic last week for a follow up and told him my right knee was starting to bother me...he took x-rays and discovered that I have arthritis in my knee as well and that I am a good candidate for a total knee replacement as well. It's kinda scary because I am only 29 years old and the very proud mommy of Andy (he's 3)! I know I'll have to have plenty more surgeries in the future when these wear out!Anyway, just wanted to say hi!! Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Lindy, I am doing balancing excercises, and some for my back. I also walk the treadmill. The PT works both my legs. Remember, my first hip didn't get a chance to return to normal because my left hip was so bad, so much of what I'm doing is for both hips. Besides, I was crippled up for 7 years and need to learn to straighten and get my balance back. My muscles were really atrophied and there is a lot of work needed there.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'm with Arianne, Lindy... I need extra excercises to realign my muslces/body because I was disabled for over 2 years. I'm really learning to walk again. The hopsital exercises, according to PT, are not challenging enough for me to retrain my muscles. Yes, walking is a good thing. I need to do more of that with my walker if I every can go somewhere where there isn't snow & ice! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Jackie, Could anyone drive you to a mall and let you off at the door and then go park the car and then join you for a nice long walk? There are usually benches all over the place, and if you go in the morning the mall won't be too crowded. Some of the malls even open up early for walkers . . . and make sure a coffee shop is open!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Pat ... I live out in the country and my partner works 3rd shift. We're about 25 miles from the nearest mall. Though we could go to a grocery store or Wal-Mart this weekend if the snow storm doesn't hit us in Michigan. Right now, with the dirt driveway, everything has turned to ice. It took us 15 minutes to get me to the car. Oh, as Donna's been saying, Spring is comin' soon. Right now, I'm quite the wimp with just walking around the house & doing my PT exercises. I guess my blood/energy levels are still recovering. Since I do free-lance computer work, I'm afraid the stress levels have been a little high for me lately. Thanks for the suggestions... yep, coffee would be great!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Good for you LIndy! PT is going to help me ride my exercise bike as soon as I gain a little more stamina. I'm excited about that possibilty. I think I'll be able to do something like that at the 6 week mark. My next follow up is in 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 hi Arianne, i wish i had a treadmill, rather than the rest -- actually, the bowflex is my hubbys -- personally, i have a pilates reformer and the nordic track but i'm not sure yet if i'll be able to use either, for some time. i know i could use a treadmill -- it's something i wasn't ever interested in buying, too bad. good luck with your PT and i pray for you such a super recovery that you'll not even remember you once had problems and surgery. ;-) Hugs,Lindy LouRight THR 1/22/2007 Lindy, I am doing balancing excercises, and some for my back.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi Katy: I'm glad to hear your replacement was so successful. But sorry about the arthritis. I had two knees replaced and have to have the hips replaced in the future because of arthritis. But I'm 56. When I'm reminded of the young people going through this, it puts it in perspective for me. You have a wonderful attitude! Yep, we'll be bionic mothers and grandmothers someday. I just keep trying to remember that I have a disease that can be treated with new body parts. Not fun, but by far not the worst thing either. Of course, it's a bit different for you having to keep up with Andy every day. I have three grandchildren and a new little girl due in April. I enjoy every moment with them and then go home and collapse and rest for a day or two until the aches and pains go away. They are my greatest incentive to keep working out and staying as young as possible.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Olivia,Welcome to the group. I also have bad problems in my neck due to several auto accidents where I was hit in the rear end. I have pain in my neck and shoulders 24/7. The past couple of months,like you I`ve had many more bad days than good days. I have had such bad pain days that at least 2 to 3 nights a week I`ve been unable to sleep due to the intense pain. I`ve been awake as long as 30 to 36 hours before I have just fallen out from the exhaustion. I then sleep for 8 to 12 hours,wake up and go through the same thing again. I just wnated to share a litle bit of my story with you. MAY YOU HAVE A BETTER DAY TODAY THAN YESTERDAY AND NOT AS GOOD A DAY AS TOMORROW. TAKE AS BEST CARE AS YOU CAN AND BE SAFE.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Doug, Thank you for your email. Very encouraging. I will get my second shot tomorrow. Treatment is for 48 weeks. 1 shot per week and 5 pills per day. My first shot went well. Flu like feeling, aches and headache but only for about 1 1/2 days. I am hoping that this weekend will be even better. You are right about keeping positive. Thank you again for your kind words. It sure helped me!

I am going to take it one day early for a treat LOL. my geno type is 2A. Hence the six months of treatment. After the first 4 weeks they did a VL and it had cleared as best they could tell. It has been a ruff time for me physically. I have had a lot of side effects. I know some people cruise through the treatment. Insomnia, shortness of breath, major fatigue, anxiety, depression, sore throat, dry mouth etc you get the point. low blood counts... the month they where very low but I only had 4 weeks to go so I am toughing it out. I have had the very best team of doctors and staff , very responsive to phone calls and getting treatments for the side effects. I am a widower with two teenage kids at home. It has been hard on them to as I haven't worked much and can't drive them where they need to go and to see another parent ill for months ( there mother had breast cancer and passed away 4 years ago) But we have good friends that have pitched in and helped. So if I might give some of my personal thoughts to this group here they are, I guess if you don't want to read them just a click and you are one your way. Seek medical help from those that are qualified to help and have experience in the treatment for HCV, I read on here people asking for medical input. If your medical staff doesn't meet your needs or level of comfort try another doctor. Don't try and learn all the technical talk, it taken your doctor 8-15 years plus his experience to learn what he knows in a proper setting. You can't learn what he knows off a few pages on the internet. Don't try to do this alone, use this time to have friends and family help let them serve you, sometimes it is hard to let them help, now is not the time in your life for pride. Let them serve you and grow closer to them, let this time be for strengthening and building close relationships. It will bless you through out your life and them when the opportunity arises return the favor. Let them love you and then you give that love away to others, the well never runs dry. your cup will over flow. Try to read uplifting books and less TV. Keep your spirits up be proactive in the mental department. When you are on you fourth or five month of fatigue and mental confusion you will have developed a reserve of mental energy to carry you through. Listen to uplifting music. there is a great resource on " you tube " to find music that gets you legs a tapping and mouth a singing ( I put headphones on so I don't hear myself that would bring another level of depression if I listened to myself). Set little goals to work on so you feel good about accomplishing something everyday. Get out of the house and go for a walk no matter how hard it is, I have left the house barely able to put one foot in front of the other, short of breath, legs heavy only to feel better when I returned. exercise is important. Mentally and physically and emotionally it will benefit you. Have faith and pray, if you don't know how, it will be a good time to learn. I can't even imagine going though this without my faith and beliefs and the support of friends, family and you. Thanks for you input, have a great day, life is good and pain and discomfort are only temporary. You can do it. Sincerely, Doug --------------------------------- Looking for a deal?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Doug, Congrads on your last shot!!!!! Party like a rock star!!!!!! lol On a serious note, thank you for all the encouraging words. I havent started tx yet. I go next week to talk to my dr about treatment. She advised that I would only have to do it for 6 months I am a 3A. I have been hearing that is a good genotype to have..actually none of the types are good to have.. But, I think if I keep my head up and think positive that I will have no problem.. I am tuff, and I think with the support of my friends and family I WILL get through this.. I am actually leaving my boyfriend because he has made it very clear that he is not going to support me in any way.. But, oh well his loss, not mine.... I do have to admit i am scared as hell. My biggest fear is going through tx and it not working. Or, doing tx and getting so sick that I cant work, and then I am stuck with no job!!! But, I guess everyone gets like this at first.I have decided that the biggest thing that is going to help me get through this and tht is getting ALL the negative stuff out of my life, and I am starting with the boyfriend. lol I am finding out that I have taken a lot for granted, and I am not going to do that anymore. Again, thanks for the words of insperation, you dont know how much they help..

Set little goals to work on so you feel good about accomplishing something everyday. Get out of the house and go for a walk no matter how hard it is, I have left the house barely able to put one foot in front of the other, short of breath, legs heavy only to feel better when I returned. exercise is important. Mentally and physically and emotionally it will benefit you. Have faith and pray, if you don't know how, it will be a good time to learn. I can't even imagine going though this without my faith and beliefs and the support of friends, family and you. Thanks for you input, have a great day, life is good and pain and discomfort are only temporary. You can do it. Sincerely, Doug --------------------------------- Tonight's top picks.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thank you for your kinds words and glad I come put a little wind in your sail. Your on the right track. I know you are worried about work figure that part out before you start. I haven't worked very much3-5 days a month. Not fun to have financial difficulties at the same time. we all spend some time in the jungle of doubt, and the valley of fear, but start up the hill to the top of the mountain of faith ( River of Dreams) you'll find what you are looking for. so XXXXXXXXXtuffgirl go for it. I took my last shot today just a few minutes ago. I am kinda excited even though I will be down and out for a few days. No more Ribavarin.... that stuffs wrecks me worse then the intron.

I have been hearing that is a good genotype to have..actually none of the types are good to have.. But, I think if I keep my head up and think positive that I will have no problem.. I am tuff, and I think with the support of my friends and family I WILL get through this.. I am actually leaving my boyfriend because he has made it very clear that he is not going to support me in any way.. But, oh well his loss, not mine.... I do have to admit i am scared as hell. My biggest fear is going through tx and it not working. Or, doing tx and getting so sick that I cant work, and then I am stuck with no job!!! But, I guess everyone gets like this at first.I have decided that the biggest thing that is going to help me get through this and tht is getting ALL the negative stuff out of my life, and I am starting with the boyfriend. lol I am finding out that I have taken a lot for granted, and I am not going to do that anymore.

I have had the very best team of doctors and staff , very responsive to phone calls and getting treatments for the side effects. I am a widower with two teenage kids at home.

If your medical staff doesn't meet your needs or level of comfort try another doctor. Don't try and learn all the technical talk, it taken your doctor 8-15 years plus his experience to learn what he knows in a proper setting. You can't learn what he knows off a few pages on the internet. Don't try to do this alone, use this time to have friends and family help let them serve you, sometimes it is hard to let them help, now is not the time in your life for pride. Let them serve you and grow closer to them, let this time be for strengthening and building close relationships. It will bless you through out your life and them when the opportunity arises return the favor. Let them love you and then you give that love away to others, the well never runs dry. your cup will over flow. Try to read uplifting books and less TV.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Wow, thank you Doug and congratulations on that last shot!! You're so right about everything but one point you brought up really hits home for me. It's tough admitting you're too weak or tired to do the things you normally do and I tend to wear myself out because of that. My Mom would be more than happy to come and help me clean yet my house is a sty which I really hate, we're dropping 2 trees tomorrow with 7-8 foot wide trunks and who do think did all the prep work today followed by a 3 hour nap? lol Anyway thank you for all the sound advice, I'm going to try and do better and ask when I need help. ;-) Gayle > > Well I have been reading all the post here for the past six months. > Sept seemed so far away then.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi Rena, So glad your feeling much better and your able to eat. That's no fun ~ when nothing will go down and the more you try the more your band tightens up. I know stress really makes my band tight, with all going on with your Mother and just life in general. How is your Mother doing? Hope she is okay. I put your numbers in my cell and if we ever come thru your way, maybe we can get together. It was a pretty area.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thought it was time for an update on your schooling, . So glad to hear all is going well. Sorry to hear about your problem. That sounds strange. Hope all gets cleared up quickly. Regards to everyone. Ellie brenda myers <reading_mother@...> wrote: hi all I am doing good so far and school is going great. I did have a problem with a urine test that I am trying to figure out. Since I am on morphine they did a drug test on me and found codeine. I never take it and have no idea how it showed up in my urine. Now I have to go to the doctor on Friday and try to convince him that I am not using other meds or he won't let me have any more morphine. I am so frustrated. The only thing I can figure is that they messed up the test. I even called the pharmacist to see if there was any other med I was on that could cause this.
