Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2008Hey all in storm areas
check in to let us know you are doing ok. Saw on the news how bad some of you are being hit back there.  SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. We're getting hit with snow here in my area. Already have a good 6+ inches and it is still falling. Beautiful to watch if you don't have to be out in it. Prayers for those who are suffering such severe flooding and other weather night mares!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. Donna, good to hear from you. You just stay safe ok, hopefully you don't have to do any traveling for drs appts and such till it melts. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > > We're getting hit with snow here in my area. Already have a good 6+ [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Donna Hi Jo! Most of the worst of the storm was north of us here in Dekalb, IL. We were on the very southern edge and got a bunch of mixed up stuff. It just seems it couldn't make up it's mind what it wanted to do here. Rain, sleet, short-term heavy snow, more sleet, more rain. I am thankful for not getting buried. 20 miles north had 10-12" I hear. On another note, had a moving vehicle accident with my mobile home! I wasn't even driving! Accident report says I was hit by a driverless vehicle! A young man up the street had gotten out of his Corsica with the engine running for whatever reason. Brake failed somehow and the car began rolling downhill. A city block later it came to rest right on the corner of my residence. BOOM!!! Got my attention in a hurry I'll tell you. Car missed my gas meter by about 2 feet. Cop said I was a lucky guy. Vehicle is insured so that is not a problem. Nice kid and was really bummed by the whole thing. Says he just got his license back a couple of days before and figures to lose it again. Felt a little sorry for him actually. Totaled his car he wasn't driving and I have only minimal damage that I know of right now. Had the gas company out to make sure there wasn't any leaks in the line. On another note, have a bad, bad tooth. Bit down on something 2 weeks ago and saw the dentist then. He said it was just irritated and would heal in about a week. Thurs. that sucker hurt so bad that if I could have tore it out then and there I would have. Called for an emergency appt. and was told the doc was already gone for the day and they are closed Fridays. So they called in a script for antib's and I bought some tooth numbing stuff to hold me 'till Monday morn when I can see him. Made me forget all about the pain in my back I'll tell you! Oh, by the way, this is the second time I have had my mobile hit at this location. Who says lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot?! GaryZ > check in to let us know you are doing ok. Saw on the news how bad some of > you are being hit back there. Gary, glad you didn't come out any worse on accident to your mobile home. We had one in Florida and it had two or three times as much storage space as I have now in a 3 bedroom stick built, and that one was only two bedrooms. Wish I had it back. I've had some mouth trouble also. The dentist said last year that my bridge was loose and needed to come out and be put back in better. Foolishly I let him do it. It came out in January, and this week it came out again. I'm thinking of changing dentists! Gwen > Hi Jo! > Most of the worst of the storm was north of us here in Dekalb, IL.

Gwen and Gary feeling for you with the tooth problems. when you mouth and face hurt it seems worse than anything because it is right there in your face and won't go away. I feel for you and hope you can get it taken care of and that you don't have any more issues with it. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > Gary, glad you didn't come out any worse on accident to your mobile home. > We had one in Florida and it had two or three times as much storage space [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > out again.

Man what do you do put a sign out there that says hit me. ;-) Take care and be well.

Hugs on the tooth - I've done the abcess over a weekend thing *twice* and I know it really, really ain't fun! SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything.

Lovely weather here :) Flowers are blooming! Birds are singing! Ducks are having little duckies :-)))) Carole :) > Tempt her tempt her, then she will be close enough to come visit me. ;-) Wouldn't it be great to meet, I would love it. Just don't be bringing your chilly fingers to touch me with though. ;-) I am cold today, it dropped down in the 60's and I can't seem to get warm at all. My hands are ice cold. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > Ahhh, that would be nice - to finally meet Jo, the Squirrely one! Nanny Maybe we could have a west coast meet up! :-))) Carole :) If I could save some money, I'd even fly out to the west coast to meet you all. Nanny > Maybe we could have a west coast meet up! :-))) > > Carole :) > If I could save some money, I'd even fly out to the west coast to meet you > all. Nanny Save your stimulus payment, LOL :))) Now what are we all planning to do with that big $300? :-))) Carole who is going to save it and spend it in NYC :) ok well then you are on book restriction till you save enough to come out here. LOL ;-p SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > If I could save some money, I'd even fly out to the west coast to meet you > all. Nanny The way they keep canceling hundreds of flight, I'm scared to make a reservation! Besides that, they probably would bill me for my extra bag I use for my medicines, since they have to have a presciption on them. SignatureNavy Take out the FISH to email me. > If I could save some money, I'd even fly out to the west coast to meet you > all. Nanny >> Maybe we could have a west coast meet up! :-))) >> >> Carole :) Well, we got 5 inches last night and have set records for both the snowiest march ever on record and for the snowiest winter ever on record. Now, though, it is beautiful out. Sun is shining bright and it is actually supposed to be a beautiful weekend! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. We got a couple of inches although it has melted mainly now but are due to get another couple of inches tonight - looks great on the daffodils - not!!!! I was going to the sewing show with my girlfriends in Victoria this morning but turned back. The highway (the Malahat is infamous for bad weather in winter sometimes) had jacknifed semis, cars off road etc. Wasn't worth it. So came home and had a nap and read a book. Still tuckered after all the travelling. Our weekend is still suppose to be crummy but the sun is sort of peeking out right now. Crazy weather. Take care Donna.

Nanny LOL well I tried I guess the other night to heat the one up. I ended up pouring boiling water over it instead of in my cup a soup. Funny thing was I must have reacted quick enough to put it under the cold water because it didn't blister at all. But boy did the cold water activate the arthritis in the side of my hand and up the bone in my arm.

Nanny {{{{{{{{{{{ Gary }}}}}}}}}}}}} Yikes, Gary!!! I think I'd be putting in some type of cement wall to stop them out of control cars from hitting your poor home all the time! two times is two to many!!! Glad you and your son were ok and that for the most part your home was too. Hope you were able to get some care and some relief from that tooth today! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. Thanks Donna, Got into the dentist though I was much better. the antib's did their job. He says root canal. I said next time. While I was there the pain clinic called and had an early opening for me. So I went in. they wish to do steroid injections to the lumbar. He also thinks much of my trouble maybe caused by the little wing-like bones on the back of the spine rubbing against each other and predicts we will be spending more time doing those. Go in next Wed. for first set of injections. Insurance adjusters office called to tell me their regional guy would get hold of me in the next couple of days to set an appt. for inspection. She gave me her personal number to call if there were any problems. Second pt appt. this afternoon. Felt wonderful after the first one. massage, electrical stimulation with a huge heat pillow. The lower back exercise she gave me causes some aching the next day, but I'll live with it so far. That is all. GaryZ > {{{{{{{{{{{ Gary }}}}}}}}}}}}} > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Donna > . {{{{{Gary}}}}} Feel better, my friend.

Deep massage, heat, lectric stuff. Yum! Parlay time with the insurance adjuster tomorrow. He doesn't stand a chance! :-) Just kidding. GaryZ Hey Gary, Glad your tooth is feeling better, but don't let it go too long or you may end up like I did last week and have to lose the tooth all together. Not fun. Glad to hear the PT is helping you so much. That is wonderful. Best wishes with the insurance adjuster tomorrow!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.)

I'm sick of cold rain! I'm just >> plain 'ol sick of winter! Spring, where art thou? Nanny Well as soon as I can get Jim to send off these boxes of books to you, I will send some sunshine in them to you, ok. ;-) Wondering if then I can still claim the books as media. Wonder if they will charge extra for the sun shine. ;-) SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. Shouldn't matter, Jo. Won't the box will be lighter because of the sun shine? LOL We're fine here. Tornadoes hit to the east and west of us, and we were lucky to get barely 5/8" of rain with no thunder storms. They went south and north of us. That usually happens. Today is gorgeous, if one can see through the windows coated with pine pollen. Everybody's car is the color of greenish yellow. It's the one time you can tell who has a garage and who doesn't. SignatureNavy Take out the FISH to email me. > Well as soon as I can get Jim to send off these boxes of books to you, I > will send some sunshine in them to you, ok. ;-) > > Wondering if then I can still claim the books as media. Wonder if they > will charge extra for the sun shine. ;-) My white car sits under a carport so you can imagine how yellow it is! At least I have a carport (which I had added after I bought the house) but most of the houses here in Montgomery just have driveways! Gwen > Shouldn't matter, Jo.

Parked our car(s) in the drive. During pine pollen season, you could see our yellow footprints around the doorway! Luckily we usually took our shoes off near the door, but we still found ourselves dust-mopping daily during pollen seson. Funny, I kinda miss that, especially as I sit here looking out at snow and ice. ;-) SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. glad the tornados passed you by. yeah we got what I call the green puff balls that fall from the tree and if stepped on are pure pollen, so I am having an issue with the allergy trip because of it. but it doesn't last forever so have to deal with it the best I can.

LOL [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > of greenish yellow. It's the one time you can tell who has a garage and > who doesn't. As long as the sunbeams aren't reflecting through the wrapping of the package, I don't think there will be any problem ;-) A few more books and boxes of cards are on the way to you. Added some stamps, too. You do a great job with the sending of cards! Nanny > Well as soon as I can get Jim to send off these boxes of books to you, I > will send some sunshine in them to you, ok. ;-) > > Wondering if then I can still claim the books as media. Wonder if they > will charge extra for the sun shine. ;-) Oh Nanny, how kind of thoughtful of you. I appreciate it I do. When did you put them in the mail that way I know when to kind of keep an eye out for them. I am hoping to get Jim to mail yours off today, I will let you know once they are in the mail. Plenty of sunshine packed in there so watch your snow melt when you get these packages. ;-) SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > As long as the sunbeams aren't reflecting through the wrapping of the > package, I don't think there will be any problem ;-) A few more books and > boxes of cards are on the way to you.

Guess you won't have to pack the sunshine after all; all our snow has melted, and now we're getting rain. On second thought, please DO send that sunshine after all!

You >> do a great job with the sending of cards! Nanny Ok, well, today we got snow in Bellingham. I think there were at least 25 flakes and then it stopped :-)) I am sad to say that none of the 25 flakes had very long lives . . . they perished on hitting the ground. Carole :) sunshine on the way, jim mailed off two boxes to you yesterday.

Couldn't you tell? <weg> My first clue was driving in blowing snow yesterday. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. Ack. Snowing here again today! This is the 43rd measurable snow fall this year. We normally only get 23 in a season. Also one of the rare years we will not have at least one 70f day in March. This winter began the day after Thanksgiving (early for us) and is still going on...... Hard to get the golf bug with this sort of stuff going on. Z >> I'm sick of snow! I'm sick of ice!

After last fridays 10 inches, can't say I'm quite ready for more!!! Happy spring everyone!!! LOLOLOL!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.)
