Skendall-I am soooo sorry you are having such a rough day. When I had my last MRI, they gave me Ativan to relax me as I had never had an MRI before. Ooohhhh....now there's one drug I must stay away from...I truly felt amazingly happy and relaxed when they gave it to me. I don't remember horns buzzing, etc. But the guy starting at your breasts...I would have read him the riot act. PIG!

Skendall, I am so sorry you're having a bad day. It just went from bad to worse! Glad at least your internet is working.
Rusty, I was given Ativan and I swear I was hallucinating! It did not sit well with me at all.
I wonder where everyone else is tonight? My roast turned out great and I ate way more than I should have. Took a walk with Lucy and CJ after dinner just to burn a calorie or two. Anyway done for the night and just watching tv with hubs and Lucy.
Hope everyone is ok and sweet dreams.Comment

Hi guys, just checking in . . .
Rusty, Liz thanks so much for the encouragement. I think I figured out what is happening . . . I'm not used to taking a pill in the late afternoon/early evening so I've been forgetting. I don't want to take it at 10pm. I'll work on it! Writing it down and taking it with me would help.
SK, what a day you've had!! Over the top frustration! I do not do well with electronics that don't work. Great job on calming yourself, I'm impressed. Hope things are better now.
We had a long but good day taking my oldest to his first college visit. It was fun to be on campus again and watch him take it all in. Time is going so fast!
Stay healthy! AGComment

SK - so sorry about your day! I hope you get results of the MRI right away.
AG - Sounds like a good day. How many kids do you have? We only have one son (and our wonderful DIL).
Liz - glad you had a good evening. DIL made some salsa tonight. Oh my goodness - DELICIOUS, hot but fantastic. She and I were sitting at the table eating and we were both saying yummy and then saying oooh hot. LOL
Rusty - when do you see the Dr again?
Mama - how you doing?
Pauly - hope everything is going ok with you. I still need to go hunt you down and check on you.
Ne, Red, Techie, Glassie and all our visitors - hope everyone is having a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening."Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

SK - There's a blog tiredofthinkingaboutdrinking.com that I like. I'm signed up to receive e-mails and I get little blurbs, 1 minute messages, etc. I also read other blogs....Unpickled Blog, Granny Gets Sober, etc. In addition to information from Women for Sobriety and Soberistas. Just trying to keep positive reinforcement around.
PS - I bought my oreo double stuffed cookies because of stress today. VERY BAD. Definitely need to plan on a productive way to relieve stress. Geez!"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

Hello all. I have been so busy. The movers came yesterday to move my moms things. I leave tomorrow to go back home. Mom will follow a week later. So while it has been stressful we have moved toward the goal line. Have a wonderful day. See you again when I'm back out west.
P.S. Has anyone heard from Fennel? Great one. Miss her!Outside of a dog a book is mans best friend. Inside of a dog its too dark to readComment

I am here.....just busy as hell.
Techie, I text with Fennel every few days....
Fired someone and training someone new, so off I go.
I am sober and miss you all....
I will try to read back

Morning all.
Mama, you're pretty busy and besides firing I know you love your job. Good job on the AF days.
Techie, yay the goal posts are in sight. It will be such a relief to have it all finished. Fennel left MWO, sad to see her go.
I'll have to get serviceman for tv., but glad to have the internet back.
AG it's bittersweet when our kids move on. Is his college close to home?
Nora, thanks for the info, if the cookies did the job then they were worth it.
Ne, some of the ad's do accelerate drinking. Can you try another one? It looks as if it is time to know what you want in your career methinks(lol).
Lizz, yesterday sounds like a perfect day, glad you enjoyed it.Enlightened by MWOComment

Rusty, I :happy2:agree on the Ativan! Too bad I didn't have one. How are you feeling? I think the physio is helping.Enlightened by MWOComment

Skendall-I am feeling better, thanks!:happy2: I have no idea when I'll have the time to start PT. So glad yours is going well! :-)
The technician should have asked you if you wanted Ativan...they asked me a million questions about whether I was claustrophobic, etc., if small spaces freaked me out, and I said, "not really," but since I wasn't leaving the hospital and didn't need to have someone drive me home after I received the Ativan, I said, "sure, I'll try the Ativan just in case." I have NEVER had a drug make me feel so happy and relaxed...it was kind of like an I'm tipsy and drunk and it sure feels good feeling. Um, can't go down that path again.Comment

rusty, at least go for the first appt. Most of the physio you do yourself at home. In my case they showed me and gave me "homework". I'm going again tomorrow because I do have the time.Enlightened by MWOComment

Hiya Mr. G!
Skendall-I am confused by your response to my Hahah. I AM going to PT and I am looking forward to it as the exercises helped me the first time I had these discs diagnosed in 2011. I am confused because I never said I didn't want to go to PT. I lost something in translation. LOL ;-)Last edited by Rusty; April 19, 2016, 07:58 PM.Comment

Hi all -
Ne - Thanks so much for the thoughts on NAL. Very much appreciated. I also visited theendofmyaddiction.org for more information. I LOVED the survey format for medication. It was very helpful to read the same questions posed to multiple users. Honestly, between that site and here I feel very informed. That was NOT how I left the psychiatrists office though. What if you didn't have internet?? Or didn't want to speak out about this?? Sheesh, medical people get with it.
Sorry, I rant. I am struggling tonight! Lots of work stress today and this time of year for teenagers is tough. At least mine, they start going from all As to B-/C . . . yikes. They are perfectly capable, just get spring fever like the rest of us. SO . . . AL is calling me but I am not going to give in. I'm checking in here and going for a walk. Then I'll check in later.
Nora, we have two sons ages 14 and 15. My oldest is just a sophomore but due to the tendency mentioned above we thought we should at least take him on one college tour to see what was expected at a major university. Ha! I think it only increased my anxiety!
Ne, one more thing, I also really liked your analogy of all being on the same highway. So true. Thank you for that.
I'll be back . . . promise : )Comment

Sorry you've had a tough day. Remember, there are always going to be stressful days. It is how we address it that is so important. I hope things brighten up for you. Be well AG!Originally posted by actiongirl46 View PostOutside of a dog a book is mans best friend. Inside of a dog its too dark to readComment

Techie - thank you, great point. I addressed it with going for a walk with my dog and lots of music. I have been thinking about that a lot (how I was dealing with stress) and very deliberately trying to do things to satisfy or at least distract myself other than AL. Coming on here helped too.
I made it! Yay. On to tomorrow . . .
P.S. I hope your cross-country move continues to go well!!Comment
