After forcing myself to lie in bed for 6 hours I gave up & came downstairs, made a cup of orange spice decaf tea & decided to vent to you all.  I know if you hear the word "leg" again you'll probably sign out (LOL), but the damn thing is making me miserable!  End of vent.


I loaded up on Vicodin & took DH out for his birthday dinner.  Our children & grandchildren came along...it was great fun.  I love having everyone together to catch up on their lives.  My DH & sons don't approved of my DD's live-in boyfriend, so she comes alone.  That's another topic for a vent session.


I made little Easter baskets for each of my book club members.  If my you-know-what (leg) co-operates I'll go to our meeting on Wednesday.  I'm getting pretty good at knowing when to take the Vicodin, so it'll kick in when I need it to.


Well, I think I'll browse the Internet for awhile & then try to go to sleep.  Mayo Clinic has become one of my favorites...some of their tips for dealing with pain have helped me.   Hugs, Cal

All I know for sure is if you are taking any Meds that thin your blood, you are going to be cold.
