FIGHT CLUB!!! November. C'mon all you fighters!

Determination, I?m so sorry for your loss. It?s easy to go back to old habits when we're coping with difficult times. I?m glad you?re back though, that?s great.

Kimberly ? I?m dealing with a bit of sciatica these days. What is a trapped nerve? Is it the same as a pinched nerve?

Aspman, I love it that you and your mom are on the same team now. Imagine that does make her very happy. I take it that is you in the picture with the snake?

Ruby: Wii Fit: kick it right back girl ? this is the FIGHT CLUB thread! :H

Kim, your avatar reminds me of a pirate kitty ? it's the hat! Sorry your suffering from back pains - no fun.

Hi Anglecakes ? yeah for day 6!

later gators

Hey all and welcome Angelcakes - great to have you on board and already doing so well!

Hi Finding- It turns out it wasn't a trapped nerve - finally got in a taxi and went back to my old doctor from before I moved and she said it was a muscle pull. Am now on Diazepam and an anti-inflammatory prescription along with heat pads and it seems to be helping a lot, thank god. Just trying to take it easy. No hoovering for me - yay!!

Real Kim! Haha, you will have to call me 'fake Kimber-LEY' as it's not really my name. I chose it out of the blue whenever I wanted to remain anonymous (many times in my life, sadly!). No wonder I can't spell it. A few people on here know my real name, but it's just me being cautious in case I encounter anyone I know or whatever if I slip up bad. I was also going to say love the avatar.

Anyway I now have a bit of a cold - bet I picked that up at the docs - oh the irony - so I'm going to make myself a nice cup of tea with lemon. Catch you all later and hope you have a lovely weekend!

Fake Kim (hehe) x

Anglecakes-I'm so glad to see you on here and working on an af Nov. You helped me out so much when I first started here. So I know you can do it.

Finding-How are things going for you? You sound like you are having a strong start to November. Are you working on any plans for the holidays? I'm really making a determined effort to excercise more. It seems to help me feel better for most of the day.

Kim-

No wonder I can't spell it.

But wait! You did spell it right!! HA. The thing is, most people who met me for the first time usually end up calling me Pam! Don't know what thats all about. I hope you pulled muscle gets to feeling better. I can't take any kind of prescription pain meds. They are a really big trigger for me.

Aspman-Where are you? How are you doing?

It's the week end. Lets make it a great af one!!

Strueth Aspy - 13hr shifts...what do you do?? And I said in on TND but congrats on 2 weeks - your glowing mate.
Lilmea - thanks for the encouragement!
*wave* Kmberley & FindingMyself (love your name)
Well I'm on Day 9 now...the weekend was tough. On Sat evening at the witching hour I felt like I wanted to cry because I wanted wine & knew I couldn't have it - bizarre!! A bit of a 'poor me, why can't I be normal' thing - I'm over it!
Anyway, I got through it and feel so very grateful for it today.
I'm off to the gym.

aspy-13 hrs at work! Yikes! What do you do? But congratulations on 2 weeks. I tend to smoke too much if I stay on the computer to long. (sigh)

Angle-Congratulations on 9 days! You know, I do consider myself normal. I can do and enjoy all the things normal people do with one exception, I can't take that first drink. I have no 'off ' switch. So once I start I can't stop. AF has been so nice. I never want to go back to where I was. Hang in there. It will get better. :l

Rubes-Thanks for all your support. I think the folks here at MWO are the best!

Kimberley, a pulled muscle, pinched or trapped nerve, guess they all need the same tender loving care – and usually that means a bit of R & R. I love to walk and so I do get frustrated when something is on the fritz that needs heeling, but I can get into curling up on the couch and giving the old bod a rest, too. Take care!

Lil, November’s okay for me, but all I can think of is escape! I always want to run away for a vacation around this time of year, which is very family oriented and therefore presents certain triggers for me. So, I’ve been looking around, but it’s probably just fantasy island for me. (De plane, de plane!)

Aspman, you cuddle Burmese pythons the way I do kittens! Awwww, cute! It really is a gorgeous creature though.

Anglecakes, I have found a heck of a lot more of myself than I ever knew existed since being at this site!

Congratulations to all of us for our days, weeks, months! Thanks to everyone for making the boards happen – it’s really great support.

Finding-I come from a big family. I do understand the problems that can arise from certain family situations. I've already started working on a plan to help me through. I guess that's part of the new, af, coping skills we need to develop.

Is there any chance you can get away for a while? This will be the first year HB and I are both retired, so I am planning on jumping on De plane and heading for Fl during some of the colder months.

hi guys, another day at work. We make medicial products, and I run the machine that sterilizes the products. it is a 16hr cycle and there are only 4 trained opperators in the southern hemipshere, so we are a bit stretched thin.lol.
But is an awsome shift, 2 days on 2 off 2 on sunday 2 off 2 on 2off sunday.thats 6 days on a fortnight.
heaps of time at home with my lady and 6month old son...

Hey Ruby - thanks for keeping on popping onto the thread - I still haven't had any time to visit the others yet, due to recovering from this and that.

Turns out my 'cold' was a very nasty cold - I was getting body aches and everything yesterday. It got a bit better today and I just about managed to drag myself into work, a few hours late, but made it nonetheless. I have been through an entire pot of honey, a bottle of lemon juice and a box of tissues today. I am supposed to have ankle surgery on Wednesday and I am terrified I won't be well enough for it - you're not supposed to have a cold for it. Anyone any experience of that?

Angel good work on getting through the weekend - I sometimes have the 'why can't I be normal' syndrome but it has got less and less the more I destroyed myself with al. I am sad I am not 'normal', but I accept it.

Finding, November makes you want to escape? Is it the weather or what? I never want to drink in family situations due to the total tit I have made of myself while drinking with family. My parents totally support, nay desperately want, me to be AF! I still remember ruining my father's 60th birthday dinner by turning up 3 hours late, pissed out of my skull and falling asleep on the table in the restaurant -urghhhhh!!!

Aspy, what a difficult job - doesn't the shift work screw with your body clock? Still great that you get to spend so much time with your family.

Lil, I just noticed how long you've been AF from your signiture - you make some really useful comments. Any tips on the AF life you wanna share? (Before you jet off to Florida obviously!)

Yeah, I think to myself that my 'off' switch is faulty - it works fine some of the time but sometimes it shorts and totally doesn't work!!! It's currently out for repairs...will see how we go after this. I'm loving the AF thing though.
Have a great day/evening all.

Just wanted the Fight Club to wish me well for my latest fight. I have ANOTHER ankle operation tomorrow - I hope this one will fix it for good.

Please have me in your thoughts, as I have you all in my thoughts at moments every day.
