Inna is away cause she had a bit of an accident (you have to ask her!) and I hope you feel better and return soon, it's not the same without you!
No one reads them?
oh bother..
??? Sorry Inna, I should keep my big mouth shut, but my intentions...at the time seemed honorable. Truly.
dripper, I wouldn't hold well wishes against you, that's silly. I am kind of back. We'll say 1/4 of the way. I have noticed some real ugliness on the site while browsing around today, sad. Seems like people want to kill the messanger these days. Ouch. Thank you dripper, I have missed my daily dose of pus, and some people here, but if you know me, you know where to reach me, ~Tif
Inna...you speak the truth. I hope things are ok for you. I wish you well :)
lol, yeah, i kind of hit the nail on the head with that one. I sent you a PM daten.
The big news, and this is sure to come back and haunt me, is that I am no longer producing tears in my eyes, which if you think about it, it's quite horrible. Right now the course of treatment is artificial tears 6 x's a day. It's been long enough that I just emailed my MD to find out where we go next. The good news is that it caused a chalazion in the upper eyelid of my right eye. Woo-hoo, think my hubby can record it being removed? The problem is, it's not really bothering me, and it's invisible cosmetically speaking. So who knows if they will go hacking into my eye until we know what's up with the tear thing.
So, while my eyes feel like there's sand in them, I always want them closed. That's not my excuse, I was just tired and had taken my pain meds just a few minutes earlier, when i sat down on the riser pillow at the end of my bed to watch TV, intending to go to sleep in a few minutes. It happened sooner than I expected, and I nodded off w/o any back supprt, using my lingerie chest as a bouncing board for my skull, eventually using my shoulder and the back of my head to stop my fall onto the tiled floor. I split my wig. Mega sized concussion, along with a cracked skull! So light and computers, basically life has been hard for about 2 weeks.
So seriously, quit worrying the little things, and think about how lucky that you are that yo aren't me! lol!
And no, this is not a "plea for attention", it's just an explanation, as it was starting to sound more mysterious than it really was. Looking forward to coming back around a bit more. ~Inna
My reason for the topic of this post was because I thought Inna might be mad that I told everyone that she was not well, again my dry sense of humor. But thank god Inna was not upset as she is a great trouper.
I wish we would use these posts more often as well as the SB to get to know each other...thus again my sarcasm in the topic.
Sometimes it is hard for me to explain in writing what I want to say. Maybe that's the reason for misunderstandings. Some one here answered a post by saying "don't type anything to a person that you wouldn't say to there face" I have a HUGE short term memory loss prob so I am sorry I cant remember who said this, but it was very wise!
I have an appt with my MD today at 4:10 Ca time to see what the hell is going on with my head. From speaking to the Md via email, he seems to think that i have a nice hematoma that I'm hoping gets drained and praying that we get to film it. Problem is, the only one that can be there today is my 12 year old. Guess we'll see what she's made of, lol! I sure don't want her passing out and splitting her wig! it's not fun to go for over 2 weeks with a head injury that seems to be getting worse, putting pressure on my ear...I'm getting sharp pains in it now, and the whole left side of my head feels mishapen. It even hurts to wash my hair. If i had any tears (another story altogether) I would have cried my eyes out last nite when I had to blow dry it to go to back to school nite for my middle schooler. I NEED SOME RELIEF!!!
No relief in sight. Yes, I have a large hematoma on my head, no, it would just be a bloody mess to do anything about it. I just have to let my body reabsorbe(that spelling just doesn't look right, but whatever, you get my point) the junk that is in there. meanwhile, my head feels all spongy and the pressure is pretty uncomfortable.
My advice? Don't sit on the edge of your bed when you are super tired from the 1st week of school starting and buying a car for your husbands new job and waking at 4am after just going to sleep at 2am, and having Fibromyalgia and being on strong pain meds. It makes for a bad combo. lol! So, I'm not only lazy about posting other people's vids, I can't even produce one of my own. hurumph.
For the rest you doing Okay ? ?
OMG Inna! I did the same thing about a year ago only, I was sitting on the toilet at the time and then SMACK!! The next thing I knew I was on the floor with a nice goose egg on my forehead! I hope you heal up quickly girlfriend!! :)
We cut it open and drained some of it off last night. Yes, we made a video, no it's not all that. Imagine the space between your scalp and skull, it's not that that big, so any amount of extra is bound to cause pressure. When I bent over it was excruciating. My hubby did a great job, my kiddo did a great job filming it, and I only just grunted a bit at having my scalp nicked. If it was a bit more clotty (is that a word?) I would post it, bt I'd just get people bitching and complaining that it wasn't enough. So, if you know me well enough to have my email address and you want to see it, let me know.
TC, contact me or die. I want my $ back for all the phone calls that I made to Holland to make sure that you were doing okay if you don't. JK. But you better contact me, or I will fly to Holland and apply a recently acquired evil deed on you...attempting to rip your eyes out, lol!
You don't even know the jhell that I've been in, fights, eye infections, the whole kit and kabboodle, I could keep us going on live for days and days!!!
Hey Hey Hey .......The first thing on PC I did was commenting here on Forum asking you to be Okay.....Then who send you a Text Message on your Birthday.....?? Allright , I think I just Die then....
Ah, TC, please don't die, I love ya too much! I was just a little bit off of my meds yesterday, AND missing my best friend from Holland really badly, that's all! I'm just a big old meanie, sorry!
Inna, sorry about your accident. Im not trying to be nosey. I was just thinking how much we have in common. I broke my pelvis last month and have been in terrible pain for over a month and I too have fibromyalgia which makes it worse. So I know how you feel. Hang in there and keep your chin up. It sounds like you have alot of friends that care about you. I hope things get better for you really soon.
princess, thank you for the well wishes, and yes, i feel very blessed to have found so many great friends here at PTZ. It's sometimes difficult to wade through the muck, but for the most part, I haven't regretted many relationships that I started here.
If you can believe it...the drama continues. Over a week ago I fell asleep with my laptop on my wrist, and because I am on heavy doses of pain meds, if I miss a dose, I will sleep through the second coming of Christ...until I wake up wishing that I was dead, as in this case. I realized that it was 6 hours past my regular dose of meds (I had a stressful day and fell asleep playing a game on the comp) but the bigger issue was the searing pain in my wrist, and a few minutes later, in the top of my hand. THE DAMN LAPTOP had given me 2nd degree burns on my wrist and the top of my left hand! I guess at some point I felt the burning in my wrist, and moved my hand enough to burn the top too! Right now I am holding my and up over my head to keep it from pulsating when I put it down, despite the pain meds. Bandaids wont stick because of where it's at AND I just burned my other hand a few months ago for the very same reason...falling asleep w/o taking my meds on time in front of a space heater! Youd think that I would have learned. But i never expected the laptop to get so hot! If it weren't for bad luck... OH! and despite having lost everything last year in the recession, and gaining some hope since my husband started working again in July, he got laid off again last Thurs. Life isn't so grand. Keep the well wishes coming please!
WOW Inna, Lady luck hasn't been on your side in a while. Well I fully understand and it seems that our lives are parallel when it comes to luck. In Dec 08 I couldn't breathe very well and went to the ER. They told me I had Pneumonia but I also have a disease that was attacking my lungs. I had never had a problem with them before. It just all of the sudden popped up. Since then my life has been hell. I have been hospitalized around 20 times and almost died twice. All while moving around the world with my husband being in the military and having 2 teenage boys. They think they have figured out what it is. They think it is, Polymyositis, which is an autoimmune disease that attacks your muscles and 20% of the time it will attack your lungs as well. I have been on high doses of steroids and the side effects are hell. I had to quit my job being a RN because I couldn't be around sick people. Now I am on an immunosuppresent and I can't go out in public except to go to the doctors which is about 3 times a week. When I do go I have to where a face mask and carry hand sanitizer with me. But, with this new medicine I haven't been in the hospital in 4 months which is the longest I have gone since I was diagnosed with this. I am now having problems from all the side effects of the steroids I had to take. I broke my pelvis last month and I didn't do anything to break it. Just standing when it broke. The steroids have made my bones very thin and brittle. They said it probably wouldn't be my last broken bone. We had to move back to Arkansas where we grew up so our families could help take care of me and the boys when my husband needed them. He just retired after 20 years in the army to help take care of me. Man I feel so guilty. He loved the army and wanted to stay in for a while but, I just cant move around anymore. The stress is to much on me and I need to stay with one set of doctors. I to have to take shit loads of pain meds for my fibromyalgia, which now they think it is this polymyositis which is where your white blood cells reconize your muscle tissue as foreign and attack it. It is extremely painful. I have to take hard core pain meds as well as other stuff too. I think I take around 38 pills a day. Crazy Huh!We also just bought a house and three months after we bought it, it started flooding. It has flooded four times and we have only lived in it less than a year. The previous owners said they lived in it for 28 years and they never had a problem with it which is bull shit. They added on to the house and put about $15,000.00 in landscaping as well as a guest house about 2 years ago. The neighbor told us that after they put all this money into the house, it suddenly went up for sale. So I imagine they had a crappy contractor that did some things wrong when he added on and they messed up the front yard to where when it rains it runs onto my porch and under the walls right into the house. They didn't disclose this in the contract when we bought the house so now we are going to have to hire a lawyer and sue them to have the house fixed. Because I don't have flood insurance and I'm not making my home owners insurance go up when this is their fault. Also I just had to pay $10,000.00 for a new air and heat pump. They bought one five years ago and let a neighbor put it in that didn't know what the hell he was doing and f***ed everything up so we had to get a new one. So needless to say our first house buying experience has been a real bitch. As I always say THANK GOD FOR XANAX. The only cure for my disease is a lung transplant. You just cant go out to walmart and get those to easily. also, I have always lived far away from my mother and father in-law and now I only live a few hours away from them and they are always starting shit between me and my husband and they invite themselves down all the time, which wears me out and I end up getting sick from all the stress and house cleaning I have to do when they come down. So Girl, I know how you feel. I believe in your case it will get better. I hope your husband gets his job back. The economy is making a slow comeback so maybe things will pick up for you guys and you can get out of your in-laws house. I wouldn''t wish that off on my worst enemy to have to live with your in-laws. But, if you ever need someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry on I would be more than happy to listen. It is so hard staying cooped up in this house and not being able to go anywhere but to the Doctors office and that is the worst place to pick up germs and cause me to get sick. What I would give to be able to just go to the mall for a day. I also have to wear oxygen sometimes during the day and I have to sleep with it every night. I am only 41 as of today and I feel and look like I am 81. Walking with a walker and wearing oxygen and gaining over 80 pounds because of the steroids I had to take. Well thats enough of my crazy ass problems I didn't mean to wear your eyes out reading this. I just thought how crazy it was that both of our lives are in tournmoil right now. I thought to myself when I read some if your post, She is someone I could realy relate to. I thought it seems like she (you) has fallen on hard times as well. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I'm here if you need to get some shit off your chest. I am always up due to my meds I have severe insomnia and stay up for days at a time so I always check my computer. So feel free to send a note my way and if it is private, I will give you my e-mail address. See ya later and keep your chin up.
OMG Princess, that's quite the story! I think from talking to a lot of us on this site that we all have our own medical issues. I suppose with the Army you have benefits at least. Non-disclosure is a real no no as it is all you have to protect your sale...def hire a lawyer and go to town on them. People hire inspectors and if they dont find any problems and there is one, they cant sue from what I was told. So that is always not the best way to go as it is harder to sue an inspector.
I wish you well and am glad you were able to share this with Inna on the site. I am here for support if you just need a friend..PM me.
Hey Dripper thanks so much for the support and the advice you dont know how much I appreciate it. I don't have very much family to speak of and I have not one friend here. We moved here a year ago and me and my husband are very private people and we don't make any friends. I guess that comes from being in the miliary. You just have to leave them and it hurts to bad so you just don't make any close friends to avoid the hurt of having to leave them or them leaving you. But, we are here for good now so I guess its time to make a few. My neighborhood is nothing but elderly people and they are very afraid of strangers. I cant say I blame them. We had an inspector from our finance company inspect the house before we bought it. But you couldn't see the damage because it was inside the walls. Also, It had to be raining to see the water coming in the house. I figured that it just started doing this not very long before they put it up on the market. I think it started doing it after they added on to the house and added a flagstone front porch and when they realized what they had done they put it up on the market instead of spending more money to fix it. Because it is going to cost alot to fix it correctly and they didn't want to sink anymore money into it so they sold it instead. It is a nice house and a good neighborhood so they knew it would sell quickly. But thats okay, I will get there ass in court. I hope they will settle before it goes that far. But you never know. as Far as my medical issues yes, I do have benefits but they are going to change in December and I will start having to pay for things I havent had to pay for. In one year my insurance paid over 2 million dollars for hospitalizations, test, medicine and ect.. Starting in December I will have to pay 20% of that and 20% of 2 million is alot. But I'm glad I have benefits. Most people have nothing and cant get any care. So, i'm very lucky and need to stop bitching about it. I appreciate the ear dripper. I haven't seen Inna on the site today. I hope she is okay. I will talk to ya later dripper, keep up those good videos.
