O FOR A THANKSGIVING FOR EVERY HEART BEAT AND A SONG FOR EVERY BREATH.
THIS I AM STRIVING TO DO .....BE THANKFUL FOR EVERY BREATH AND HEART BEAT. I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM HERE FOR SO LONG, I THINK I FORGOT WHO I WAS ON HERE...LOL THAT CAN DIFFICULT WHEN SIGNING IN. THANK GOD THEY USE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. :)
I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU ALL DOING GOOD AND AS PAINFREE AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE SURE BEEN HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME SINCE ABOUT JUNE OR SO. LOST MY MEDICAID INS. HAVE NO MONEY FOR NUTTIN.....LOL TODAY OR ACTUALLY LAST NIGHT DH STARTED CHECKING INTO SOME OF THE FREE MEDS PROGRAMS AND HE ALSO MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE RA DOC THIS COMING FRIDAY. HE SAID NO MATTER WHAT I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR, REGARDLESS OF THE COST. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME FROM BUT I GUESS WE WILL MAKE DO. :) I DO HAVE MEDICARE BUT IT DOESN'T COVER VERY MUCH. BUT I GUESS A LITTLE IS BETTER THAN NUTTIN.
MY RA HAS BEEN SUCH A SOCAILITE FOR MONTHS NOW, VISITING EVERY JOINT IN MY BODY AND LETS ME KNOW WHERE AND HOW MUCH ACTION IS HAPPENING AT EVERY JOINT!
THE PAIN OF IT ALL! I HAVE BEEN LIVING ON DH'S IBUPROPHEN AND THE FLEXIRIL THAT I HAD LEFT OVER. OH YES AND ALSO LASIX FOR THE FLUID RETENTION. A MONTH OR SO AGO I WAS AT THE ER FOR I COULD NOT BREATHE AND HAD SOME SLIGHT CHEST PAINS. I HAD BRONCITIS AND FLUID ON MY LUNGS. SO I WAS PUT BACK ON LASIX. RUN RUN RUN TO THE POTTY ALOT! LOL
I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAIN JUST WON'T LET UP. NIGHT BEFORE LAST I GOT IN A HOT BATH TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP. YOU KNOW, IT DID HELP, BUT WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE BED MY RIGHT ARM STARTED HURTING SEVERELY AND JUST WOULDN'T STOP. I GOT OUT OF BED AND SAT UP IN THE LIVING ROOM, SO I WOULD NOT DISTURB DINK ANYMORE AND HE COULD AT LEAST GET SOME SLEEP.
ON A MOVIE I WATCHED THE OTHER DAY ONE OF THE CHARACTER'S SAID SHE DIDN'T EVER WANNA LIVE THE SAME DAY TWICE. THAT MADE ME STOP AND THINK ABOUT MYSELF AND MY DAYS. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME, I DO THE SAME THING EVERYDAY. SO I DECIDED RIGHT THEN AND THERE THAT I AM GOING TO PUT MY BEST FOOT FORWARD, {HAVE TO VOTE ON WHICH IS THE BEST! LOL :) }AND DO MY BEST TO NOT LIVE THE SAME DAY TWICE ANYMORE. NOW JUST COMING UP WITH DIFFERENT THINGS TO DO TO KEEP IT CHANGING DAY BY DAY. :) I CAN DO IT! ENCOURAGING MYSELF HERE I AM. :)
OKAY I HAVE MADE THIS LONG ENOUGH. I WILL GO NOW AND READ SOME MORE OF THE POST HERE.
HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH ALL OF YOU AND IT STAYS WELL. :)
TAKE CARE OF YOU!

((((((((((((((((( ROMA, ROMA, ROMA ))))))))))))))) -- HOW GOOD IT IS TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

Hi (((((Roma))))),
I am so sorry you are having such terrible pain. I am praying a solution to purchase the drugs arrives quickly. Take care of yourself.
Gentle healing hugs,
Vicki
{{{{{{{{{{{{Molly-Mae}}}}}}}}}} Thanks for the warm reception. You are so sweet miss Molly. :) I am glad to be back. I truly have missed coming around. But I wasn't in the mood for anyhting there for so long, just layed around and wallowed in self-pity. Shame on me.
The movie that that phrase came from was, 'Monster In-Law'. What a movie! It was pretty good, Jane Fonda surely was a MONSTER!....lol But it ended good. Yes, I do beleive that saying is true, variety is the spice of life.
Yes we already got a whole lot of paperwork and stuff about the new medicare program that will come into effect the first of the year. But there is still these large co-payments and deductions and crap! Just can't win.....lol DH said we should contact them and see if it is the same for us as it is for Bev, seeing how she gets her remicade paid 100% by medicare. So we shall see. Anything is better than nuttin. :)
You know I never even heard of "rice bags" before. But Dink and I made one up the other night and it really works! lol TY so much for tellin me bout it. :) :)
Went to the doctor the other day. Thursday instead of Friday because I was in so much pain. You see, my right leg was swollen twice it's normal size and in severe pain, from the knee all the way down to the bottom of my feet. It was awful. The rheumy sent me over to a pcp and he sent me to the hospital to do a doppler checking for DVT. Well, thank God it wasn't. No blood clots. But they didn't tell me what or why it was that way. I am just guessing that it was fluid retention. Doc gave me two different dieretics and the swelling is now almost gone. Wonderful to not have that severe pain anymore also.
I think I will be around more now than I have been. I've pulled myself up by my bootstraps and decided to live life to the fullest that I can. :) Feeling so much better since I made that decision. :)
My sweet daughter is over here right now cleaning my house. She is soooooo wonderful to me. :) I thank the sweet Lord everyday for her. The house smells like pinesol and pledge now. :)

HI YA {{{{{{{{{{{{{Vicki}}}}}}}}}}}}}}.
TY so much for your care and prayers. :) I truly appreciate you.
Yes I am also praying for a quick solution to this meds cost. This is just to much stress on my dh. He is such a worry wart as it is. Poor darling.
Again ty {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Vicki}}}}}}}}}}}. :)
Take care of YOU!
Big G-Hugs.
Just me,
Roma :)

Hi there Lell. :) Good to see you too. Yes I know how you all are with me so I am not alone. I really appreciate ALL of you. It is very nice to always know we are not alone in this.
Yes ma'am I know how the pain can wear us down at times. It is just I have been in it for so long now my mental functions are really whacking out on me. LOL But I will keep my chin up, {even if I have to wear a brace to do so....lol}, and I will do my best to look to the positive side of life and be happy.
This morning I woke to a whole body malfunction. lol J/K....But every joint in my body was in pain and I woke poor dh up with my groaning. But here I am now and the pain is still here but it hasn't stopped me today. HeHe! Thank God for pain pills...lol.
Thank you for your care and support Lell. :) Have a great day!
Take care of YOU!
Just me,
Roma:)
Yes Molly, it was scarey about my leg. The swelling is almost completely gone now, but for some reason the pain just will not leave and then sometimes, like this morning when I woke up, it is as bad as the beginning of it all. This pain is truly driving me insane. lol
Oh that does sound nice the scented oils. I would love to do such a thing. But you see DH has COPD and I can't have scented anything around him. Isn't that sad? I love scented candles and popourri but I can't use them. :( Oh well, life goes on anyway.
Later gator. :)
Take care of YOU!
Just me,
Roma:)
