What's happening Wednesday?
Hey sleepy heads!
I don't like to start two threads on one day, but no one else has done it and I wanted to post the link to pictures from yesterday's birthday party. Cherry, a co-worker is a die hard Univ of AR Razorback fan, so we gave her a tailgate birthday party, complete with a REAL pig! Well, the pig got loose and mayhem ensued. Took us almost an hour to corral the little stinker (yes, he stunk!)

Gotta run and get ready for the day. Hope your day is a great one!

Looks like ya'll had a ball. You are sooo tiny Susan! Today my son has plans to have me run him around town getting ready for last minute school stuf***** a call from soc sec yesterday about my disability claim. I have an eval. on the 30th. with a person of their choosing. I can't believe how fast this is moving along. My friend says that's a good thing. I hope so. I'm done. I just can't cope any more with all the people, stress, and anxiety. I don't want to get so stressed that I start thinking suicide again because of a stupid job.
It does move fast, Sybul. I applied in February when I got laid off and had an interview with their person in May. At that point, I had already accepted the job here so I decided to shelf it. For some reason they decided to put through the disability based on the depression and not my arthritis (which was far more serious). Anyway, good luck to you.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hi Susan and all my OFF friends,
Tomorrow I go get gussied up for the wedding. These days I need professional help for that. I'm taking a half day off from work. My nephew's girlfriend who is a hairdresser is coming to my house at 9am to cut my hair. From there I'll go get a manicure and pedicure. Tonite I'll dye my hair. Age makes for higher maintenance I think. In my younger days it was wash the face, brush the teeth, brush the hair into a pony tail and go. Now it takes me 45 minutes.
Not much else going on with me. Just wanted to pop in a wish everyone a great day.
Hugs,
Bev

Good Morning to you all,
I am up early to take my pain pills but I will be back in LaLa land soon. I went to TOPS last night for the first time in two weeks- lost 5 pounds. I love those women- I cried- I lasted 30 minutes- but I drove and it did me good if you know what I mean. I cry because my life is on hold again. The pain hurts but the crying is more about missing the health. I called human resources yesterday and they were very kind too. I have lots of sick leave built up because I was rarely absent. They know I'm not a slacker or fake.
I went to a back specialist on Monday. It was quite a wait and I had gone without drugs so that I could drive. Suffice it to say that the wait was difficult, then my best girlfriend called me on my cell just before I went in, so she had me crying too. The staff there was extremely kind. I am going to have an MRI. The doctor was disgusted with the findings on my xray from last week. They had diagnosed minimal oesteopenia (pre- oesteoporosis) but he said there is no way that they could diagnose that with the xray. I had a bone density test about a year ago and it was fine. There were other things listed too, but some seemed like old injuries to him (car accident, for one). Anyway, better diagnosis and treatment are on the way.
Sorry to be a downer- I do appreciate your support from the air waves. And I am better... I do sleep, and I watch TV and read. My daughter is taking me to the grocery store today. I will dose up and lean on the cart. I still laugh too...
I am sorry for those of you that are going through your own "tribulations" right now. I always tell myself that without these lows the highs would not be so sweet. I am better at handling the lows as I age. I think I am more confident about the fact that lows are temporary for the most part. You ride the storm. do what you can to make smart choices, and enjoy the hell out of the lulls.

Julia, I haven't figured out a way to skip the "lows" in life either. Life is a rollercoaster with highs and lows. I wish we could just have smooth and then a bit of a good high, then smooth again for a while without have to dip down into the lows. . . But I also believe that is how we appreciate the good times by having to go through the occassional mud puddle or sometimes even fall into a deep pit. However, it seems like you are overdue for the upside. I know you will come through. Consider it a test of your positive attitude and continue to fight to get your health back and therefore your freedom and good mental health. It's hard not to get down a bit when you can't go and do what you are used to doing. This past week was a reminder to me. I'm not used to not being able to bend to pick something up off of the floor or to be able to sit at the table to eat dinner or to get in and out of bed or the car without excrutiating pain. I reminder to not take my good health for granted. Sounds like you've got a good specialist for your back. Take care.

Susan - I want your job. We never get to chase pigs and have so much fun.
The notes from the Monday support group are written and sent to the members. Relief.
I am going to check in with my Aunt Rosemary and see if she needs anything besides company. She lives with my cousin Angela <- her son Joshua was the one in the accident.
Joshua has been off the ventilator for a few hours at a time. He is still not able to speak but has had a few slight movements in his left arm and leg. The doctors are considering flying him to a hospital in NY City. Recovery is still a long way off. Nobody knows how much permanent damage he will have.
Shower is done, no make up or fussing because I'm going to the gym after visiting my aunt. I'll proably run into a million people with me looking like a wreck.
Kisses
Annette
