Tuesday roll Call

Hello Nicole and PA!!!

So far today has been less than stellar!  Since we share everything on this board I will tell you all why.  I had some issues with anxiety about 3 years ago, I actually thought it was heart attacks or something....  I did a lot of research and decided that I wasnt actually dying but rather I was having anxiety attacks.  I did a great job of figuring out how to manage those attacks and they have been pretty much non-existent for the past couple years or so.  I employed a lot of CBT and I have to say Im pretty proud of the work I did with it.  I also started taking Lexapro back then as well to help me out.  So, getting to the point, I didnt get my script filled and have been out of Lexapro for two days.  Its a bad idea to stop cold turkey with that stuff because it messes with you head and causes some significant side effects.  Man Im feeling them today.  I will be getting my pills today after work but for right now im all whacked out.  Yippie!  On top of that I am having some serious back pain as well.  I need to get this fixed bad.  I have an appointment for that today as well so hopefully there is some relief in my future.  Other than that life is pretty good.  thanks for listening.

And you didn't mention this to me last night becuase?!?!  Were you afraid that I would tell you what you needed to hear?!?!  Hmmm...works both ways buddy boy!  Get those meds - they are vitally important.  You need to treat what you can treat!  And - good luck with the back pain! Headed to the chiropractor?!?!

I wasnt having symptoms last night.  I know, i know i need to take better care.  i will get it done today.  thanks mom. lol

Hey?!?!  Are you referring to my advanced age - seems to be a theme around here! :)  And - you are welcome - after all - who will I get my male perspective from?!!?  I need you HEALTHY!

glad you weren't dying, but not glad that you have anxiety issues.  It is so prevalent anymore.. it's crazy.  You defnitely don't want to mess around with any type of mental health drug.  I forgot to take mine yesterday morning and by noon, I could tell.  I came right home and took it as soon as I could. 
Hope you get relief from that and from your back pain.  Like I told you yesterday on FB, my back issues went away after my weight loss.  They were there for awhile as my body adjusted to proper posture, but with strengthening my core, it has gone away!

It's amazing to be able to do things without worrying about how it is going to affect my back.

The sun is out here.. hope it made it's way to you, as well.

It's actually pretty here in Philly!  go figure! :)

Beth - so glad you are ok!
Julia - I hope your scheduling works out
Lisa - I am sure you are so proud of Siehara

Today finds me in hot and humid Nashville.  Doing RFID testing in a Warehouse is a lot of fun (NOT) - it is against the rules to drink in the warehouse, so I can't drink my water out on the floor.. so I steal away, bring it in to the bathroom here and there to grab a sip.. (ick.. ). 
We have run in to a snag and I am hoping it will get resolved soon... (damn IT people - oh crap - that's right, I am back in IT now, not in Quality, so it's my fault.. what fun!)

The hour time difference has made it easier to get up and get in to the hotel gym in the morning which is good.

There was a huge (to me) snapping turtle in the middle of the entrance to the building this morning - it was over a 1 foot long.. those things look prehistoric - the locals laughed at me because I was fascinated by it.. well, I know they exist, but they are usually not in front of places I walk in to.. and I didn't want to get too close..

Well - am actually catching a few minutes downtime to catch up and write while the network folks are fixing our issues..

TTFN,
Maura

Can you post on Tuesday's roll call when it's already wednesday?

I've had a busy couple of days hence been MIA.  I'm not quite ready to get into a lot of stuff here yet....but there's a good amount of stress going on at the moment...just keep us in your thoughts please.

Got up fairly early and went food shopping - we needed just about EVERYTHING...came home and put it all away.  Unfortunately as I was picking up the case of water it slipped and instead of letting it fall like I should have I attempted to catch it, twisting my back.  Go figure...lift patients all day long and I'm fine...case of water and I'm in pain.

But, finished that...made some food for work and what not...and then lounged most of the afternoon trying to get my back to feel better and trying to take a nap.  Neither one happened.

Then came to work...I'll post about that on Wednesday's roll call I guess :)

Hope you all are doing well!
