Welcome back!

It seems that everywhere that I look, these days, I find diets.

Diets are mentioned on TV, magazines, the internet, and a lot of other places. Even lipozene reviews, can be found.

Just today one of the diets has found itself in trouble with health problems being the main trouble. Any time that you go on a diet, you should use common sense and not go to extremes. I would love to find a pill that would help me to lose weight without any exercise because of the Arthritis that bugs me. I now have a new pain pill, it helps, but I am sleepy all the time.

So, remember go on a diet, but check it out first.

Well, the running around has not yet stopped. I am feeling better since I started to take the new pain medication.

Now, if I can learn how to be more awake when I first get up in the morning, everything will be better. I feel like giving my doctor apersonalized gift as a way to say thank you for his help. I realize that he gets paid anyway, but at least he listens when we talk about what is going on, and how we feel.

One of our friends has a problem with continuous pain and has tried a lot of different drugs to get relief. I wonder if she was told about this one?

Yes, the new medication works. Relief is wonderful. The only drawback that I can see is that it makes me drowsy.

It takes longer in the morning for me to function. I slur my words, and my balance is not quite right. As the day goes along, it gets better. At least I can now feel what the absence of pain is like.

Of course, if I bang my shin, it still hurts, but my joints are no longer feeling as if they are on fire.

Lately I have been having trouble with my pain levels increasing. This is in spite of taking Ultram.

Went to the doctor and he suggested using a new (for me) medication called Amitriptylin. In high doses it is used to help alter moods. Well, I do not need the altering of my moods, but I do need some relief from pain. After months, it can get to you. He explained that in low doses, it will help my previous medicine work better. I will see what happens.

We have been going through so much junk lately that it is trying to take all of our fun away.

First my husband is having pain and other stuff going on. Our vehicle had, yes, had been having trouble with a very bad leak in its gas line, and now our neighbor. He is getting a divorce from the druggie from hell, our other neighbor is a gossip and has been bugging the first poor man a lot.

Oy vey……I though that Payton Place was off the TV. Well, it seems like if it isn’t one thing it is another.

What is it that used to been done when you wanted to say something naughty and didn’t want to actually use the language? Oh yeah…=n09426p] ; a^&%()^&^

I know that this is a subject that is rarely talked about. My husband has trouble with these things, so does his mom.

I have been blessed to avoid them. Some people will want to get surgery, other will try natural hemorrhoid treatments, other will go for medical treatment that does not include the surgery option.

I have no idea what it is like to experience them. I hope that I never do. I have known others who were severely bothered and those people went through some serious bother. Whatever each person experiences, it is up to them to determine what they will do, and how they will do it.

Tomorrow, he will be operated on. My husband that is.

He has been waiting for this to happen since the beginning of November of 2009. Thank God he has not been waiting 12 months, but it has been long enough. I have a bag ready with stuff to keep me occupied while he is in surgery. If I had any promotional items that I could share, I know there will be a lot of other people waiting also.

He is nervouse about this. It is occurring in a very personal place, so the nervousness is understandable. He is also impatient top get it over with and no longer will he need to be catheterized. I mentioned in earlier posts that he considers it to be another type of torture. Well, time will tell. He is sleeping right now and I hope that he is getting the rest that he needs for tomorrow.

Well, the on going saga of my husband and his possible surgery goes on.

I was wondering why nothing was happening. So, I called the doctor’s office to find out just what was going on. I managed to talk to a very nice lady who then told me that the doctor was out SICK.

No one told us anything until them. We kept waiting and waiting for someone to call. The secretary, who knew that we had been waiting, never called, she just took her vacation time since the doctor was out sick.

Anger is too mild a word for what I felt when I found this out. The same person who fouled up the first date for his surgery by with-holding information on medicine to stop, couldn’t be bothered to let us know why the surgery wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Never mind all of the pain that he has been going through each day with all of the procedures in catheterization. Anger, oh yeah, but the lady that I was talking to was not at fault. So now we continue to wait, …………..still………………………………………..

Anyone who has watched NASA get a shuttle ready to be launched, knows what that means.

The cardiologist said that he is okay to go ahead with the surgery. Yippee In fact he said that there is only minimal rick associated with him having surgery. Now, all we have to do is get the anesthesia assessment unit to finish his interview, get the urologist to set a date, and get the surgery done.

Tomorrow, my husband will undergo some cardiac stress tests.

We are both praying that the tests show he is able to have surgery. We cannot imagine what his life would be like having to be catheterized every day for the rest of his life. horrible
