Must fly good and early for today- Many things have happened this past week; some good, some not worth repeating, hehehe. I have a doctor appointment- which is a good thing, given that I now have an additional 2 fractures in my back. Crap. -One last weekend, and one last night as I did nothing more than talk on the phone with William! Go figure... Off now to take a very careful shower, then to vote- then to the doctor. -My love to all. XOXO, Me PS/See link below for voting info

Take it easy Anna and so sorry about your back my friend xox
ReplyDeleteStop with the fractures ;)
ReplyDeleteAnne, I hope that everyone understands how difficult it is for you to vote today. We all need to take your example and get out and vote.! Thanks for that. I admire and love you and hope you have some pain free days soon.
ReplyDeleteWishing good news from the doctor for you and take care of yourself my friend.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, not good. Maybe we could just roll you out in the yard and hose you off???? Just a thought...LOL. Take care and get better.
ReplyDeleteAnne...I really hate to hear that you have yet, another new fracture. Other than putting you in a body cast, what else can you do? Because simple movement, as you already know, will continue to cause the cracks to happen. What sort of meds are you on for your bones right now? My neighbor (back in Boaz) was having brittle bone problems till they started her on that Fosomax. (spelling may be wrong) She said they did another bone test on her in about 8 months and it actually helped to solidify her bones again. Then, by golly, they had a recall on that particular drug. She nearly hit the roof with anger because it was the very thing that helped HER. Not sure what the problem was for others using it, but it worked for her in every way it was suppose to. She said it was a voluntary recall and she refused to give hers up till they could make something that worked the same way. And this woman, Jo...who was a very outdoorsy kind of person...continued to mow her yard and work in her vegetable garden and flower gardens.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy. I know that is easier said than done in some instances. Hope you get to feeling better!
Mr. Lester-
ReplyDeleteBy now I know what that popping pain feels like, and at least I can work around it a bit by knowing what works and what doesn't.
(And it's the darn "what doesn't" that can be most upsetting). hehehe

I don't know why Sweet Cab, but your comment really cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that!
XOXO
Me
Yup- ... still laughing!
My dear Sweet SissyKrissiePoo;
ReplyDeleteIt helped that I had to get out and go to the dr. anyway-
I think you give me more credit than I deserve- There are people that are worse off than I am, and they vote.
I read a ton of articles from all over- the people whose polling places are closed, and they have to go further, or simply don't have the transportation to get there. Then again, they should know that they can use the mail in votes too. Once you ask for everything to be mailed to you then you are on that list forever. And all it takes is a postage stamp. (Oddly enough, this stamp is much cheaper than [any] type of fuel).
I did get mad- (now see how uninformed I can be!)- When I got there and my polls were closed- til next week.
Mad that I didn't realize that Suamico is cut between a few wards now- My ward votes next week.
It made me giggle to realize that in the time I drove in to Calavera Springs that no less than 7 other cars did the same thing.
"Oops" on me
XOXO

Just PLEEEEEEZ try to miss the dog pies~zn~puddles?
ReplyDeleteAgain, I cracked up!
(Thank you Sweet Donna)!
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteMad now- I am having a problem posting my comments- The last few are GONE!!!
Will have to return now.
XOXO
Me
Well now Donna's comment came back... Will try this once more- Maybe Shar's will come back too
ReplyDeleteGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........................
Sweet Sharlee;
ReplyDeleteI really didn't miss your reply. hehehe Multiply did.
I love your little doctor!!!!
And yes!, I do take care of myself. (er, mostly anyway).
And on the really bad days I am hard-pressed not to be calling my Sissy, and crying on her shoulder.
But I don't. Or at least I haven't... yet. hehehe
XOXO
Me
PS
I know that YOU know- and feel- what I go through at times.
And I am not sure if I ever did say thank you?
Know that gratitude is always in my heart, even if I neglect to say it *to* you.
Sweet PeachieBaby!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it's not only one new fracture... hehehe (as if that matters). I do wish these cracks wouldn't be able to happen twice- or more- on the same vertebra either. But because one little vertebra is such a complicated bone, it can, and does, happen many times...
You are right too that giving up all the things one is used to doing is a very hard thing to do. (And unless I want to, or can, pay someone to do it, I have to get out and mow).
Fosamax is a drug that your friend probably 'can' use, given her advanced age? But recent studies have shown that Fosamax is uniquely responsible, in long~term usage, for making your bones even more brittle than they were when treatment began. (Though it initially DOES make the bones better as she learned from her bone scans).
There are many many class action lawsuits already happening with this drug.
I actually tried taking the Fosamax, and I had some internally very negative side effects when I did. So I chose not to continue with it.
Then the bad reports came out, (breaking thigh bones? OMG!!! That is SO not an option) -
I was happy that I had made my decision to stop as soon as I did.
Early on, my PM doctor had to tell my GP at that point exactly what to put me on. He wrote down the exact regimen I should be on.
Long story short, my GP didn't agree, (wtf), and just wouldn't prescribe what PM wanted.
{While it was between them, I had no reason to believe that they couldn't/wouldn't come to a happy~medium type of agreement).
THAT hope of mine never came to fruition, and in the meantime I was caught in the middle; with my treatment plans cast to the side of the road. (Still mad).
Changing doctors (a new GP earlier this year) got me the annual IV Reclast treatment I needed. I had NO negative side effects from this IV infusion.
Thus far I have not read of the awful side effects of Reclast that would even compare to breaking my femur!
Furthermore, unless some side effect -worse- comes out in the meantime I will highly recommend this to others, and receive it again next Spring.
XOXO
Me
PS
I am looking up some of the osteo treatments available, and will post those soon.
Annie, I do know and feel what you go through at times, and yes, you did say thank you to me. I say the same to you for putting up with me and my temper. Sometimes we meet people on the Internet that we like, and most importantly that we trust, you're one of those people for me. Sorry I'm so sappy tonight, but sometimes I can't help myself ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy Dearest Sweet Sharon-
ReplyDeleteNo. I thank *you*- and all over again.
No worries, we shall hang in there. The alternative not being an option at this point.
XOXO
Me
PS
I saw/see no 'temper' in anything you have written.
(See, first I take into consideration that red hair)... hehehe
Just kidding-
I know where you are coming from- and what continuous pain can do to a body and soul.
Have a wunnaful day!
I can't help wondering how you move at all. But I don't see that I can add anything of help, so I'll be on my way.
