Gma - is it chromium that you should take to help with sugar withdrawal - hmmmm - I should have looked it up for you first, but there is some supplement you can take to help with the sugar cravings when you cut back on sugar.  Good luck, I know you'll feel better with out that poison in your system - have you cut out white flour too?  I know they make a huge difference for me.  Take care,

Linda

Wow, I've missed out on so much!

Sounds like everyone is hanging in there though and that's what counts!

The first few weeks of this year had me sick too! First an intestinal bug, okay for about a few days, then a nasty cold from my nephews! Yuck! So glad to be feeling better though!

Hubby left on Dec 22nd.... Been one month already! Only 11 to go! But, I did find out he does get a 15 day break in the middle. So we are trying to decide where to meet! Yay!

Got our house on the market too last week. Definitely no fun when you are feeling fine, just miserable when you feel yucky. But, it's done and now we wait!

Weather has been up and down here. Nothing else exciting going on. Just excited to see you are all still posting!

Prayers are always being said by me for all of us!

Much love,

Tori

Hello again,

Long time back did we have a discussion on radiation damage traveling down to the hip on the same side?  I went to see my pain management doc after having a grand time with the grandsons, I managed to flare up my hip/bursa some how and can't hardly walk. My doc and I started talking and reminded me all my aches and pains seem to be on my right side.. the pain was so bad that he gave me a anti-inflammatory & pain shot as I can't ingest antiinflammatory meds..  But it got me wondering, if something else is going on?  I walked a little yesterday and traveled to get my new compression cami and this morning I am having horrible pain again.. I am taking muscle relaxers but doesn't seem to cut it - think I have to go back to tylenol #3s.. Any suggestions on what I can do? - Ice, stretching, resting - that is what I have been trying.

Hey Grannydukes, Hugs4u, Walley and Ducky - you have stuck by me through thick and thin.. I have a mild case of everything but I just can't do it anymore..  breast, nerve damage, sleep apnea and now bursitis in the hip... I'm done Just can't fight.. I know I am one of the lucky ones that survived, but a person can only take so much.... what happens happens ....

Okay, GmaFoley.  We don't know one another but we share a whole lot of life.  This sense of defeat is a sickening sensation I've had also.  I think your Grammie Esther also knew that feeling.  You quote what she learned.  "Grammie Esther: Imagine God in His HUGE rocking chair, rocking you and saying, 'It will be ok,  you can do it. I will be right here for you'."  If Grammie Esther knew this, she learned it from her needs.  Your grandchildren will learn this wisdom from you just as mine will learn from me.  We can't quit on ourselves without quitting for these precious children who will someday need our strength and wisdom for themselves.  I quote my great-grandmother.  You quote your grammie.  Someone will quote us if we've lived a life worth quoting.  That's how life works.

GmaFoley, Granny Dukes, One day at a time, sometimes it just seems so hard. There is a very caring group of sisters here who share your miseries. Sometimes we are all having difficulties and sometimes one or two have it bad but we all know and care. Pain is so debilitating that it makes it seem hopeless but it is not.  Work on getting that under control and things will come around again. In both of your pockets. Hugs
