Ok, so the article for Turn off the screens week is giving me a hard time… I’d love to blame it on Jackie from whom I’m waiting for a couple numbers but really can’t as I could, in theory, write it out with fake numbers and then just fill them in when I have them. [Read more]
It is always encouraging to know that people are reading, every week I check my blogès stats and am happy to watch as readership continues on a slow but steady rise… Tonight I was checking my stats, which include information about where visitors to my blog have come from and was flattered [Read more]
just a quick note… I had the chance to be reminded today why I had been enthused about my family doc when first meeting him in nov.08. Apparently he has found a pain specialist that he thinks will be very useful in finding options for me. I can not say I am confident but his [Read more]
I’m back… I was an hour early, my pain seemed at the point that it must be time and so the math made sense (I wanted it to be time and wasn’t paying enough attention counting to four lol). I had called Vickie (I would never do so late at night but she had told me [Read more]
Another very long day, in the back of my head at all times is White Lake and how I will deal with being unable to go if that nightmare actually materializes. Emeraude’s birthday was wonderful. 4 years old already. I can’t say that I can’t believe it as I worked hard to enjoy every [Read more]
Tramadol – Ultram Drug Information by MedicineNet.com http://www.medicinenet.com/tramadol/article.htm New oral med that Dr. Crawford has suggested I try. Side effects mostly similar to morphine (which are just a little more concerning than Dilaudid… just minute differences really, I [Read more]
Township of Manitouwadge Leisure Services Youth Soccer ProgramI think this may be Emeraude’s favourite part of soccer practice, lol. [Read more]
Each year the Manitouwadge Leisure Services department improves on their annual Children’s Festival and 2009 was no exception… It isn’t fancy to look at but I would challenge you to find a child d not enjoy themselves thoroughly or who isn’t dissapointed when they must [Read more]
To say I was dissapointed would be such an understatement… Thursday (day before the appointment) I spoke with the acupuncturist, to talk to her about the possibility of me being late. I explained to her that since I am not on a schedule (my doctor refuses to order my pain meds as being [Read more]
It has been another very long day. I had such severe pain as I came near my 4 hr injection times it was hard to deal with (mostly tireing and frustrating that I had to go to the hospital as I now know I have other options that should be made available to me and [Read more]
We were on out way home from the Brooks Street playground but first, I spotted a rock outside the fence and asked the kids to sit so I could get a shot (I stopped buying the school protraits because of the cost/value of their packages and the fact that they didn’t seem to bother with [Read more]
Pipe Cleaner Fun This afternoon, when Emeraude would normally take her nap, we settled on my bed with a mountain of pipe cleaners and worked on the craft I had found from MarthaStewart.com the other day. The instructions were very clear, definitely a fine motor development activity, and tons [Read more]
I am pretty much in the same shape these days as I have been all year other than 3 good weeks in March when the IV Steroids I received successfully reduced my symptoms (fatigue, pain, weakness in legs, etc). I go to the hospital for dilaudid injections to make the bone/muscle pain (neuropathic [Read more]
We went to the playground behind Graham (street) tonight and had a blast. We laughed too hard, played shark (some of that in the photos), boating, loved every minute of the silliness! Both the kids were so much fun. We went to the Petro after and bought gummy bear twisters (Lloyd & Emeraude) [Read more]
