Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Good Morning, Everyone!

Are you all rested from the long weekend? I am rested and fortunately, I am at home today. I am doing paperwork, and then I have my first appt. with a chiropractor. I have had lower back pain for a long time but it has gotten to the point where I can't even go for long walks and I miss that. [MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION], no offense as I know your hubs is a chiropractor, and I am sure he is a really good one, but I have been skeptical of them my whole life. The reason I have felt this way is because it seems like people go to them monthly for years and I always wondered, "what do they actually FIX if you have to keep going to them on a monthly basis, and for YEARS?" Well, I have changed my mind. I am going to a chiropractor recommended by one of my closest friends. She has been going to this doc for years due to injuries she suffered in a car accident. I met this woman a few years ago and I really liked her.
[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], dear....I pray your treatments go well. We love you here.

Glassie..thank you for popping in...I know you are extremely busy.

Nora-I hope your mom's hospice care gets extended for another 6 months.:hug:

Big hellos to everyone else for a Sober Monday!

No worries rusty. Yes some people go for years for adjustments. It's a long story, I'm sure the chiropractor will explain it all to you. Hubby has many patients who come in for acute back pain and don t come in forever. What works for you, is what matters. Hopefully she will help you. Keep me posted?

Nora so glad it's another short week for you. I hope you do something fun on your days off. You deserve to treat yourself.

Watching my favorite movie on tv, The Holiday! Gotta tell you I'm pretty excited that Prince Harry and Meghan Merkle are engaged! Can't wait to watch that wedding!

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Happy Sober Monday right back at ya, Rusty. How did your appointment go? The chiropractor has helped me. I don't go regularly. I would if I could afford it. But, when I've had a problem and gone, it has really helped.

Liz - I just watched The Holiday last week. Good movie.

It was a 3 month recertify for Hospice. It started Aug 29 - no wonder I couldn't believe it had been 6 months already. Anyway, the Dr came out today and evaluated Mom. I am assuming that he renewed it for another 3 months since we didn't hear anything different. The nurse told Scott today that they have patients that have been on Hospice for over a year.
I am just letting it all go - what will be will be and we will deal with it.

I hope that everyone is doing great. I will catch you all tomorrow. :sleeping:

Hi Guys!

The appt. went well. I feel thoroughly adjusted. LOL. I am very sore this morning but I expected that. I am going to try and take a walk and see how it feels.

At home today with a mountain of paperwork.

Nora-sorry for my mistake on the hospice extension. I so hope it works out for you.:hug:

I need to get going so big hellos to everyone!

Rusty - you weren't wrong on the hospice, I was. :egad:
Hope you feel better.

Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Good morning Steppers. Hope you feel better, Rusty. I am off to Mexico. I will try and post from the hospital. It is a great comfort knowing you’ll be with me in spirit. Love you. xoxo

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Hey guys. Long stressful day for me. Took Lucy to the vet. They talked about X-rays and surgery. Hubby and I decided we will just let her be. She is not using that leg, but she is happy otherwise. Talked to CJ today and power is on, YAY! They are hoping to come home for Christmas.
So I got a flu shot yesterday and I am sore achy and have a sore throat. Off to bed and hoping to feel better tomorrow.

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Liz - I am so sorry to hear this. I don't remember what happened to her. Does she just walk on 3 legs? I hope you feel better after a good nights sleep. :hug:

Techie - you are surrounded with much love & positive energy. :heartbeat:

I don't really have much to blab about today. Aren't you all lucky?? :harhar: The hospice nurse said that the Doctor said that Mom was doing pretty good to be on hospice. The nurse added that she has seen people decline when they go off it. Bottom line is that I don't know what that means. Is it continuing for another 3 months or is he going to cut it off now? I'll just wait & see.

I came home & hubby had put up my Christmas lights. We don't put up much because he is not able to climb or reach up. But, he wrapped the lights around the porch posts and put up my blinking candy canes in the planter. Fun!

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Good Morning,

Nora:hug:I guess you will have to just wait and see. Frustrating how doctors are positively vague...maybe they are afraid of being sued.

Liz-I felt SO much better after my chiro appt. I saw the x-rays...yup, my back is a mess. :-( My wonderful new chiropractor told me she thought she could help me. I am relieved.

Big hellos to everyone else. Long commute this morning and I am staying with my mom. :-)

Happy AF Hump Day, everyone!

Morning friends,Liz,what's going on with little Lucy? I don't remember reading anything but maybe I forgot,Techie,safe travels honey and know your in my thoughts waves to Nora,Rusty and Glassy have a great day

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Hey guys. So update on Lucy, the vet called today and her labs are "off". It was time for her 6 month check up/vaccines. They did blood work and now tell me her BUN and creatine are elevated. She could have kidney disease. Yup, I'm a mess. I spoke to the vet and we will do another urine test tomorrow and worse case senario she will have to be admitted for three days of IV hydration! She doesn't seem to be feeling badly, so I am hopeful whatever she has has been caught early and is treatable. The leg is so not an issue right now. That was my day! Positive thoughts and prayers for my baby would be appreciated.

Nora, I hope they keep up with the hospice for your mom, my coworker said it was a godsend for her with her mom. She couldn't have managed without it. Her mom had Parkinson's disease. Do you find it helpful?

Rusty, I'm glad you're feeling better! Hoping the chiropractor can make you good as new!
