Adelle - how is your mom doing? Dee Tee - how is your health doing? Did they get an answer to what is causing your issues? Diane Chamberlain - Has anyone heard how it is going with sister and brother-in-law? Mama Char - How are you doing? Is the breathing issues, retaining water, arthritis any better? Rhonda M, - How are you doing? Becky - How did the tests go? Did they find any issues with the heart? Is the rapid heart beat settleing down?  SignatureLove and hugs Jo (\__/) .~ ~. )) /O O ./ .' {O__, \ { / . . ) \ |-| '-' \ } )) Warning: squirrels. .( _( )_.' '---.~_ _ _& HI They told me the rapid heart was from just excess caffeine, the echo turned out fine and the technician said I was in great shape as far as the heart is going. I went to the doctor today for a uterine biopsy but they were unsuccessful, with the IC flaring, which it hasn't in over 7 years it was just too painful,, so will go back in March to have it redone. I am defiantly feeling the stress my body has been under lately, I am sure not taking all my medicine hasn't helped, I had quite the plauquenil, just kept forgetting to take it and can't say it does much anyway I still take the mtx and enbrel, so figured that was good enough but maybe the combination of all 3 was better, I see the RA doc on Feb 9th and I am sure that he will scolded me. Thanks for asking, I just live one day at a time, that is all we can do. I am finally starting to deal with Paul being gone, I guess I was just in shock for a long time and now the tears keep flowing, it has been 4 months and I miss him more each day, but I am dealing with it and that is good. thanks for asking again, Becky > Adelle - how is your mom doing? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Becky - How did the tests go?

Did they find any issues with the heart? Is >> the rapid heart beat settleing down? Becky, I am glad the rapid heart beat is nothing serious. I hate that when it happens. Oh you poor thing. A uterine biopsy is hard as it is and then to have to go back in to have it redone again. I feel for you. I know when I had mine done two years ago that he had to do it a second time. That was a killer. He wanted to make sure it took so I wouldn't have to come back and do it again. That is all we can all do Becky is one day at a time, even one hour at a time if it has to be. You are doing good and I am proud of how you have been doing. You take care and you are always being thought of.

I am learning to take each day as it comes. I am finally eating again which makes my family happy, I Had lost about 25 pounds and this week gained 5 I am afraid now I may go the extreme opposite don't need to gain nay, the 25 did me good. Thanks for all the support, Becky > Becky, > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >> thanks for asking again, >> Becky I am glad to hear you are eating again. Isn't that always the way when you can eat again you start putting the weight back on that you lost. I wish I could give you whatever it is that is working for me lately. I have been eating like a pig and haven't gained. Now watch this since I said that I will gain weight now.

Just getting ready to briefly check in when I saw your note Jo. TY for thinking of me. UPDATE Just got out of the hospital, late yesterday. Went in with chest pain and difficulty breathing. They kept trying to call it an MI or aPulmonary Embolis. Was neither. I TOLD them from the start it was Costichondritis. That stuff HURTS! Fluid retention continues to be a problem and always will be. My lungs were starting to fill up again, which didnt help the breathing issues. They kept pumping morphine into me at an alarming rate without even touching the pain. Then someone had the bright idea to try Toradol and just like magic it started pushing the pain back. Got better by leaps and bounds then. Got wrung oiut while I was there. Lost 6-7 litres of fluid a day while I was there. Felling much better. At least for now. Love to all Mama Char Char, wow! Prayers, wishes and witches spells for you, girl. It is time for all of this stuff to just go away. Now I don't want to put any pressure on you but you are the heart and soul of ASA and it is time for you to get back here. m > > Mama Char - How are you doing?

That does hurt and it is harder when no one listens to you. Glad to hear you are doing a bit better for now. Will keep you in my thoughts. PS: We miss your recipes but understand the not typing bit. Maybe we might have to start a recipe a week for gimp thread again. Kelly. > PS: We miss your recipes but understand the not typing bit.

You need a rest from this all. You have had so much going on for so long. I hope your recoop quickly. I know how that costo can be. I found a few times pred did help it though. that was nice when it did. I am glad they gave you come pain meds that worked for a change. That is good to hear. You take care and get all the rest you need. SignatureLove and hugs Jo (\__/) .~ ~. )) /O O ./ .' {O__, \ { / . . ) \ |-| '-' \ } )) Warning: squirrels. .( _( )_.'

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Love to all > Mama Char I fell the night before last and it was quite funny how it happened but I am really hurting now. I do not think anything is broken..just very very sore. All I remember is being airborne and then hitting face first into the carpet then my right shoulder and then finally the big bang my right hip..mind you I do have padding but man did that hurt. I got up felt so stupid and then laughed cause thinking about the slow motion stuff was funny. I think I got up to quick got dizzy when I took a step and wam I crashed. The weather here in Oklahoma is very cold and icy. we did not get as much as others did but we did get enough. Otherwise I am doing pretty good. > Adelle - how is your mom doing? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Becky - How did the tests go? Did they find any issues with the heart? Is > the rapid heart beat settleing down? (((Rhonda))))) - gentle, very gentle hugs sometimes that bruising can hurt even more than a break. fortuantely, bruises should heal faster. I keep telling our cat not to get under my feet - he's gonna trip me one day! SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Ok Rhonda do we have to pad you too to make you not hurt yourself by falling. I am glad it appears you didn't break something. I hope you are feeling much better from the ouchie of falling though. I know what you mean about the weather. Here in Calif. it has been cold and windy and not like other years. So we have had enough of it too. ;-) SignatureLove and hugs Jo (\__/) .~ ~. )) /O O ./ .' {O__, \ { / . . ) \ |-| '-' \ } )) Warning: squirrels. .( _( )_.'

Lost my wife to a long battle with Alz. just before Christmas and I'm still reeling from that. Expected but not accepted y'know. Boring weather here between 60s and 80s. ;-) Hang in there. Bud Oh Bud, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your wife. I was wondering where you had been now I know. I wish there was something I could do for you to make things better but I know I can't. I hope your recovery goes quickly and that you have no more problems with the hip.
