Ghoulies Springing into action (Page 17)

Sorry to hear this!  How are you doing today?

You have a doctor's appointment coming up, right?

I had the Dr. appointment two weeks ago, and have basically been told to live with it until it becomes a quality of life issue. This is what I am going to try an do.

1. I am going to do some research on pain management and the sciatic nerve.  The sciatic nerve issue has come back after tennis and walking so you would think I could do something about that pain if I can't get the nerve to behave.  
2. Torn tendon, keep doing the exercises that I have been given from PT and chiro to strengthen the other muscles in that area to help compensate for the injured tendon. 
3. Postpone surgery as long as I can since there is no guarantee of it taking care of any of the problems.

Not sure how much I can keep spending.  I have already spent $1,600 on medical this year that is not covered by insurance.  And that is in just 3 months. 

For the sciatic nerve issue you should be able to get injections at a pain clinic, I get injections for a sciatic nerve problem.

Good morning Ghoulies!

Everyone slept through the night here last night. I'm on call still, and had to take 2 calls last night, but I was still in bed at a reasonable time. I only have to put in 6.5 hours today, so that's not too bad.

What are your Easter plans?

Robin, is Jim home yet?

Good Morning, Ghoulies! 

Another swim yesterday.  I think a strength training session today, but it might become aerobics tonight.  Depends on work.

For Easter, we have church in the morning.  DH and possibly step-daughters will go to one service.  I have to be there from 8 to 12:00 because I am running media for the services.  (Putting words to songs up on the screen for choir and congregation.)  

It is still up in the air as to whether, the girls will come out for a meal and a visit.  If they do, I am thinking a pretty simple meal of my version of gumbo with broccoli and salad.  If they don't, I am thinking even simpler.  Larry and I can go out for mexican.

Sounds like a good Sunday

Hey Ghouligans.

Jim is home. We are getting into a routine and I am catching up on a weeks worth of work un-done.

Happy Belated Birthday to Amy! LOTS of celebration is the order!

Ann, hope Keri is not hurting and that cast is off in time for the games.

Kendra, stop hurting. (another direct order).

Dee, you are a workout maniac these days! Your easter plans sound like a fine day will be had no matter what.

Have fun all, I hope to back to close to regular schedule Monday-ish.

ROBIN!!

ANN!!

DEE!!

KENDRA!! (just in case you stop by later...)

Robin--hug Jim for me (again). I'm glad things went well and he's back home Hope you get caught up soon! 

Ann--boo on K's arm! Hope she's feeling better today.

Dee--you exercise maniac! Love it!

Kendra--hope the hip/leg are feeling better now. 

Today's the viewing, tomorrow the funeral, then we hopefully we will head down to the sand dunes to meet The Girls' boyfriend's family. We have to come back home Sunday (we promised to give him a ride back to Salt Lake so he can be at work on Monday morning). Time is flying by. I just want the world to stop for a minute so I can get a few things done!! Ack! 

Training starts on Monday

Way to go on the race Melissa!

Robin, glad to hear that Jim is home safe and sound.  

Ann, hope Easter was fun for you and the kids and that Keri's arm isn't hurting her too much.

Dee, you are really getting in the workouts.  Hope that Easter dinner was awesome whether it was cooked in or going out.

Amy, meeting the boyfriends family.  Wow, they are still in high school and you are meeting the family.  Hmmmm.

So, my weekend was going pretty good until I twisted my left ankle this morning unloading pinebark for the yard.  Ouch!  Not sure if I will be able to drive to work tomorrow as my car is a standard shift and I need the left foot on the clutch.

Ouch TOPPAGE!!!  Not so great.
