Still struggling with life some........

Just an update to those who care....LOL


I am not exactly what you would call on track. I am listening to my body which feels like it is in starvation mode when it isn't...some of what it is asking for isn't that bad though. LOL Breathing is still atrocious. Just biding my time til dr. gets back into the office from vacation then the eating situation will get worse before better as I knwo it is time for the steroids if I am to get my breathing back under control. Emotionally I am a lot better!! Physically I am exhausted, my muscles are sore, and I know this all stems from my breathing. Yet I am still working, still going, still helping our friends mov so as not to let her do much. We are trying very hard to get her to let us pamper her and take care of her while she is pregnant. LOL She says she doesnt' know what to do with herself and I keep telling her it is best this way. We don't want to risk anything going wrong this time around. Excited for her as she gets an u/s Monday and we get to see if it is indeed just 1 or 2 babies...LOL (twins are rampant in her family and I know identical isn't supposed to be a genetic thing but her family seems to be trying to disprove that theory). So far she is doing great so thrilled about that. Back to me though (see this gets my mind off me and that is good LOL) I am doing a lot better than I was if only I can get my breathing back under control.


Now the chiro: he seems to be helping me. My head hasn't hurt all week, my neck has been okay, a little tight sometimes but no pain. My back has bothered me good but I have been swollen due to AF and that alone can kill the lower back. It is better now too. So hopefully this whole thing will be worth it and I can get control of my life again. I was helping pack things and though I didnt' pick up and move anything a month ago I would be hurting just from that, today I am fine!! So steps in the right direction. If only he is correct about it helping my asthma too.....LOL

Angela,
Nice to see you! The board is less sunny when you aren't around,

Let's have some cute Blade stories to make us laugh...or the trials and tribulations of being Kaiti's mom...or 'Breakfast with Tiffany' - or some other news from Alabama!

Or did you ship the kids to granma's and you and Hoyt are really on a secret second honeymoon?

OMG I wish. Kaiti has been the virtual caretaker of her brother and sister tha last couple days so that in it self is a trial and tribulation......LOL We have been helping our friends move after work (well me after work, Hoyt is at home yesterday and most of tdoay.....lucky dog) and so she is babysitting while we help as we don't want her to lift anything due to the pg.


She is being kinda a witch about it too complaining.......geez in another month babysitting duties go away completely for her, DEAL WITH IT!! LMAO


I had started saying how lucky we are that she is now old enough to babysit some (& espeically mature enough) but listening to her moan and groan about it now...OMG!!
Blade, well he is still cute but no real stories to tell, none I can think of in my sleep deprived ming anyways. Tiffany wasn't feeling well earlier this week but is back on a roll now......LMAO


Want a funny story?? I am so sick at the thought of food today......why, well we ate late last night, like 10ish from all the moving....so sleep last night wasn't great....I was dreaming of food, I dreamt i was eating a cake that was SUPER sweet, and now I am sick from the cake I ate in my dream....LMAO I have always done this, If I dream I eat something like that, it turns me completely off it for a long time. I mean I lterally feel physically ill from the effects of my dream


I know I am weird...LMAO


Thank you SJ for always having a compliment to put a smile on my face!!

Angela,
Dreams are so wierd - I find that when I am losing weight, I dream about people I knew when I was in high school...some days I wake up with a feeling that the scale will be lower because I dreamt of one particular person-a girl in my class who was always in my homeroom because our last names started with the same letter. We weren't even really good friends, but she pops up in my dreams...but only when I am losing weight---some psychiarist could probably figure this out but I prefer to remain crazy!

Have a great weekend!

When I am under stress, I dream that when I am ready to graduate from college, I can't because I didn't take French 4 in high school. And I go back and beg the teacher (who I thought was kind of a witch, or some word like that-which is why I didn't take it...), and of course, she won't let me in the class...

When I wake up, I have to remember-I went to my college graduation, I know I was there...

If I'd known this would haunt me, I would have taken the darn class....

Our minds are amazing things, aren't they?

Angela, Angela. I just sometimes wonder why someone as awsome as you, can be stuck stuck stuck with such bad luck in the health department! It isn't fair. But please know that all of us here care. We care very much. I wish there was something I could do to give you a boost of good health.

Well, here's some (((((((((HUUUUUGGGGSSSSS))))))))))!!

I hope you can keep that chin up honey!

Peach!

I'm so glad the chiro is helping... at least that's one thing less to be dealing with. And since the breathing problem has been such a chronic thing for you, I wonder if Kelly's idea of checking out possible hidden allergies could really provide you with much-needed relief. A colleague of mine discovered she is allergic to wheat- she switched to a gluten-free diet and is a new woman. Maybe something along those lines??? (And, yes, they even have gluten-free beer!)

BTW, are you sure this isn't just an extremely prolonged case of heavy breathing, brought on by <> lust and such? I've HEARD about you southern belles...
