You know Jayne, it was getting close in here with the 3 adults and we all thought it was time. I really didn't expect to feel like this. She asked me a couple of times if I was OK and I kept saying "yeh I'm fine , WHY?" LOL I guess she saw it and I hid it. I'm sure our tears will dry up soon. She had a terrible case of separation anxiety when she started school and I think I was worried about her being lonely or missing me. My attorney told me I can't do anything until we settle. I have a long list of different avenues to explore in volunteering. A day here and a day there will keep me busy, give my life meaning and I can give back some of what I've been given to others in need. A "big sister" is one on my list. Another is our Domestic abuse project. It al just has to sit on a back burner for now. Hopefully my case will be settled within the next month or so.

Cap, I am sorry I haven't responded to this thread before now, I am not having the best of days.

You do sound good, as I can hear the strength in your words.

Jayne ..... I'm not sure about teasing ADMIN, but it's sure worth a try. Let me know how I can help/ Not going to the woodshed . That's all yours and monsters.

BK ..... I know you're not feeliing well and I wish I could help. I pray for you always. We share something not everyone (Thank God) does. IS the medrol pack helping at all??? I have alot of side effects from it but it does help me get rid of inflammation. No other drug does that for me. You know ,I am strong . For a time I couldn't find it. Limbo was the first to point out to me a long time ago that I was a strong human being. I never saw it before he brought it to my attention. I guess I always figured you roll with whatever life brings you or should I say God brings us? I just had a meltdown for a little while. Am looking forward to starting the Cymbalta. Could use a little boost. I don't know how long it takes to have a drug pre-certified. Never had to do it before. Be well, my friend. I'm praying with the rest.

Hi Cap,

I do believe the medrol is helping. I am not having as much nerve pain as previous to starting the meds.
If I ever have another night like I did Friday night I will go to ER. Couldn't do it Friday, hubby was out of town and no one to stay with the kids or drive me.

I am having stomach problems with the medrol and the doctor did say if I have to many problems I will need to go off the meds. I have seen no energy surge with the meds but been very tired. This may be to not sleeping at night.

Take care.

BK ... I am so glad the meds are working somewhat. I couldn't sleep on them either and they didn't give me energy. Prednisone prescribed over a period of time makes me feel like I'm 21 again. All steroids and NSAIDS tear my belly up. I swear that's why I gain weight. Always hungry, pains and need bread to tone it down. Makes sense. When will you be done with them? All side effects should pass within 48 hours if not sooner. Hope you can sleep tonight.

Thanks Cap,

This is day 3 of a 7 day dose and I see the doctor 3 days later. My wc doctor started me on mobic after my meniscus surgery and it didn't go well, had to stop taking the meds. Since, I am unable to take motrin or other similar medications.

Hubby went for Chemo today and they wouldn't give it. His white cell count is too low. We'll try again next week. He feels good other than this horrible rash he has on his head. The oncologist sent him directly to a dermatologist today who did some cultures. Hopefully they'll figure out what it is and be able to treat it. He says when he showers it feels like a jack hammer on his head. Just a small update. No cymbalta for me yet. Don't know what the hold up is. Dayghter is happy as anything.

Cap, I was glad to read that you have a more positive outlook, All will be well I can feel it, and look forward to meeting my adopted grandaughter in Pa in June. I think it is harder to have a daughter move out on her own as daughters are it seems closer to there parents than sons, It was in my case. My sons couldn't wait to get there own places and be on there own. They each moved home at least twice, before they bought there own homes. Now I go and visit with them, and I am sure glad that what I had taught them was being practiced.
We as parents can only instill our love, and values, and set them free to live there own lives. That is what mother birds do to there young, push them from the nest so they can learn to fly on there own..
