The Aristochats

degenerative back discs ..arthritis and kidney problems

you should know when its bad...i get real bitchy on the worse days

 

Nope....

^^^ This

 

I've noticed your... not so good days... I just didn't know why hehe.

Most people good and bad days here I find very cyclic? Or they happen in cycles hehe. Tbh, before you told me this, I'd have thought you were drunk most nights.

That's not good though. =[ I have bad back disc in my lower back too that really flares when I aggravate it, so I know how bad back pain can be. When I get it I literally cannot bend forward or back or side to side I'm just paralyzed in one position and I'd usually tend to think my tolerance to pain is quite high. But not in my back. It's the lowest left mostly, the hurt disc give me sciatica problems.

 

i dont drink but maybe 3 or 4 beers a year

i also have little self control which i know would be disastrous in certain aspects so ive always avoided drugs and take very little pain meds ....and when i do take them its very minor stuff which basically doesnt help much

 

I was so excited to hear you'd be in Atlanta but I didn't try to make plans because of two things

a) I am very apt to be completely broke at any given minute which may mean I don't even have gas to get anywhere.

b) Hubby gets sick at the drop of a hat and I can never count on him not needing me after I've made plans.


If things work out, I'd love to meet you somewhere!!!

 

I don't even know what to do in Atlanta. All I know is it's just for sleeping really. It'll be an exhausting trip for the first 3 weeks, Denver should be much settled and relaxed because we've got absolutely nothing planned. In Atlanta we be coming back from Alabama every day to the hotel with our bus and then think the plan has always been food, drinks and some sleep. and then when we come back for one night we are staying close to airport and also near the airport while we are there. I thought that'd just make things easier since we have nothing planned for Atlanta ourselves I just made the hotel really convenient.

I'm sure I'll be back though. There's many other places I'm missing out on that I want to see. This is just a whole sports holiday. Not really site seeing.

 

Last sports trip I made was an adventure. Just finding a parking spot was.

 

I'm not too far from the airport. Maybe it'll work out and we can meet.

 

I haven't been able to bend forward since I was 20 something... Even when my back isn't in total spasm I can't bend forward. As of 2003 it was 3 degenerative discs... Probably more by now. From what I've read about in archaeology discs will fuse themselves if need be, no need for surgery that generally doesn't work anyways.


Because of limited back movement I've destroyed my knees picking stuff up... Of course a lot of that stuff weighed more than I do. And I'm still doing this.

 

Stuffy nose day

 

Today is so nice and cool, it feels nothing short of wonderful. I should be out mowing grass, but instead I'm HERE. lordhavemercy

I even slept later than usual today, and Mama already her 12 step breakfast well underway when I got up. She was doing good but I still felt bad...well, I felt bad for a few minutes.

If I wasn't mentally challenged as far as driving outside of my town and straight across this state (NO detours!), I would have already worried Aeri to death to meet her...and I'd for sure want to plan to meet up with Irmi.

Aeri, you know we aren't that far apart...but I just can't overcome my driving inability outside of this area, especially to a place totally unknown to me...such as any part of Georgia.

I wish there was a pill to take for this.

 

think im going to nap for 20 minutes

 

lol I want to know how to do this...do you set the alarm, or is it your inner alarm?

I don't think I've ever napped for 20 minutes. Its 1 or 2 hours or nothing.

 

Squirrels do everything fast.

I'm gonna guess his time in the military has something to do with being able to manage short naps.

 

i set an alarm for short naps, though i dont usually need it, and military does train you up good for that... if it takes me 5 minutes to walk to the barracks, and 10 minutes to walk to PT, then i have 15 minutes i can nap for.
of course, i used bungees to hold my sheets tight so i never had to make my rack up, stuffed my blankets in my closet too. also known to sleep on the floor so as not to disturb the inspection-readiness of the rack.

 

I will hear other people come in the lobby
its a rest my eye kinda thing

 

My car isn't the best anymore and we don't have the money for gas that we had before hubby lost his job. Prior to that, we use to travel toward Asheville a good bit. We have a piece of property in Marion. It would take us through Spartanburg area. We'd get off the expressway in Chesney.

I can do okay with a co-pilot. A few years ago my friend and I drove to New Jersey for a concert and then came straight back home.

We will meet Lynn. It may take the perfect alignment of the planets, but we will.
