I stubbed my toe pretty bad over the weekend. Now it’s purple and swollen.  I must have some kind of ingrained notion to hurt myself.  Maybe it’s a way to take my mind off of other problems..  Reba wants a walk.  Good heavens!

 

Hope everyone is well 

 

Won't the bf walk her?  Have you tried ice first and the heat, that's my only advice, you sure you didn't break it ?

[[Gu...]]

No, he won’t walk her.  He says that’s my job.  He’s too busy fixing things I do break.  Broken toe?  Could be.  It looks like I took a hammer to it.  I am not going to the doctor though.  Home remedies only.  I am going to hobble myself down the street with her though.  She’s getting antsy.

Another lovely afternoon in a world turned upside down. Doing my best to dodge the virus. I think I will add 1/2c or Shine to Tom’s bathwater. That stuff will kill anything! FH, sending you a hug. I know how bad it feels to feel that bad. Gypsy, so sorry about your toe. I broke one years ago. That pain is hard to forget. And there is not much to do but wait it out(sound familiar?” Hope you are better today, Intend. Stut, I didn’t realize that Sox was your cat. A little late, but sending my love. Stay safe, all of you. Keep holding virtual hands til we get to the other side. Love, Espy

Hey everyone, I was reading WebMD and I found this pretty interesting,

 

Another finding that suggests you may have more severe disease is if your breathing rate (the number of breathes in a minute) starts moving up past more than 24 breathes/minute when you are resting. If you are breathing at less than 20 breaths/minute that seems to be more reassuring. So, if you have any of these symptoms, watch yourself very closely and let your doctor know quickly if your condition worsens........"

 

I hadn't heard this ...

[[mo...]]

Nerrrrhg, wish I knew if it does get better. At least we have one another for acknowledgment. :/

 

It’s not impossible!

[[tr...]]

I'm almost coveting menopause so I can ditch my problem with progesterone lol. When it peaks in my cycle I feel it.

 

anyway...you and I get to weather this together huh?

[[mo...]]

Yeah, we will.

 

I know, I was thinking maybe I should just have a surgery this time. I know real graceful talking about it on this site but we are in this together. Bah!

 

If only I’d just be quiet more times... but sheesh. You get it. Thank you. 😳

[[Gu...]]

Thanks Espy.  I had hoped my toe was just sprained but it’s turning purple and looks like a mushroom.  Even worse it’s interfering with my dog walking capability.  Maybe a little Shine would fix it.....

Hello everyone,

 

Another Wednesday,  so I 'm "allowed"  to visit BB.

My sleep it back to "normal"  ( some 5 hours) on Diazepam after having been messed up for a few weeks. I tried Seroquel a few times. But boy, that's one of the worst of the lot.

Anxiety is getting less. Stomach pain more are less gone. Nausea still most every morning.

But for over a week now no more waking up in the middle of the night because of stomach pain and nausea.

 

Walking difficult,  stiffness in leg muscles getting worse. Plus jelly legs. Worry about that.

 

CV seems to have reached its peak overhere earlier this week; numbers are now going down. So likely no complete lockdown. But very strict rules when outside. Scary business this CV. Hardly watch the news ( a psychiatrist advised to watch the news once a day, around noon. Doesn't set the mood for the entire day and still gives plenty of time to process it before the day is over. She has a point there, I guess.)

 

This week we're having lovely warm weather. Lots of sun, enjoying being outdoors.  Can't stand much sun on my head though. Benzo?

 

Having a phone appointment with my psychologist today.

 

Holding again after a cut last week. Seems to be getting harder to do with every cut.

 

Hope you're are doing as well as can be expected. Stay save and strong.

Morning Troch glad to read things have settled down a little.Also glad to read the CV numbers are lowering that is what we are all hoping for.l am glad you are not adding another med they are going to add in side effects which will resemble withdrawal so it will be hard to tell what is causing what.

As for your leg stiffness and jelly legs l would say due to withdrawal.Try not to worry honey withdrawal mimics a lot of illnesses and disorders.

. Keep going honey you are doing well.love you.X

Morning Mary,

About your wipe situation. I just read that you can fill a jar with 5 cups of water and one cap full of bleach and throw in a wash cloth. This was a solution for when you run out of wipes. I'll be doing that when I run out. There's a lot of diy cleaners you can look up if you don't want to do this one. 😉❤️

Morning Stut,

How are you doing in your neck of the woods? Everything is much the same here, groundhog day. The weather is gray and rain is coming in for the next couple of days I think so probably won't get out for a walk but we'll see. We are allowed to walk as much as we want, when we want , no restrictions on that here. We are just warned to stay at least 6 ft away from people and to wear masks in public. They have closed some parks in my State bc there were too many people in them. Most people are following the guidelines though.

 

You and your family keep safe my dear friend.

Love you,

LST ❤️

Well, I was going to use shine but I guess bleach is better.  I bolded it so I could find it again

I know my Queen, but I have to worry.  But that drone is watching and gives more than a good squirt of disinfectant.  Are you working from home or going into an office?  I am glad your brother loves the pups so much.  I know that gives you some relief.  Tell him we all say hi and thanks for taking care of the pups.  You please be careful and thank you and your friends for all you do.  Love you my Queen, respect you very much.  Your Lady Mary XHen 🐕🐶🐾🐾🐾.  🚶   💚💚💚

ok but a hysterectomy does not necessarily resolve hormone issues if you leave your ovaries in bc they are what produce the hormones. But then removing them usually requires hormone replacement therapy - and that opens up a whole other can of bad worms...

At least with having a period I can count days/predict when the emotional shift is going to happen (and now worsening of WD sx's..)

I was going to get an ablation done on my uterus but they can't do it bs my uterus is tilted (of course it is....).

 

I'm a ball of joy wit this topic - lol.

[[mo...]]

Yes, that’s true. I should have said it was more a momentary thought and a joke to me in my own mind.

 

Absolutely amazing how ovulation and menstruation bring on such a marked difference in severity of symptoms. I guess that could make sense, but still, it is way worse than regular fluctuations re. mood and other symptoms.

 

I sometimes feel I’ll barely make it through.

Hey Mary,

How are you doing girl? How's the work situation for Tim?

 

I did some cleaning this morning and then finished reading my book. It's a gray day here.

 

I think you asked where I was yesterday? I went for a long ride with Rich and then mostly sat outside reading pretty much the whole afternoon. The weather was beautiful, high 60's. Things are really starting to bloom here. My weeping cherry willow tree in front yard is blooming pretty pink flowers. The forsynthia are in bloom. I'm looking forward to warmer weather. I need some good bright sunny days.

 

Ly,

TT ❤️

Oh, that sounds nice Trishy.  I have always wanted to visit D.C. during Cherry Blossom season, still hope to get to do that one day.  It was 92 here today, but I think the rest of the week is going to be rainy and ugly.  Tim is doing okay at work.  They have a lot of instructions they have to follow, no one can walk into anyone else's office, have to call each other, have to clean their area, and keep masks and gloves on.  Tim has moved out into the garage where the work is done, so since he does it, is almost always alone.  Then he comes in through the garage, puts his shoes on the rack, strips to underwear, put clothes in washing machine and across the hall to his shower.  Let's hope it's working.

But it's lonely here, I wish his days weren't so long  .  Hope Rich is good and the rest of the family is safe.  Love ya girlfriend!  You saw our Stut is working a few days a week.  I have threatened her with the drone if everyone not following all the rules.  It's nice her brother can keep the pups.  He loves them and they love him, so that works out well.  Please take care of yourself too many, MM  :smitten:    🍀☘️🌼🍀☘️🌻☘️🍀🌷☘️🍀🌹☘️💚🍀🌸

Cherry Blossoms are so beautiful.  I wish I had a grove in my backyard.  That would make me so happy.
