THR Tashia's Hip is in Recovery, WOW!

Cathy, The reason I drive on days I hurt is because if I don't hurt bad, or it gives support to where I hurt I know that car seat will be able to keep me unheating while driving. Sorry about the spelling, My stomach is really on sore today for some reason. I will have to call the doctor tomarrow it really hurts. I don't know know why but I can just get out of pain I could rest. Well tomarrow is another day. :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Today is a very painful day. My stomach is really hurting and I can't pick up a pattern so I can avoid it. Also my left hip is really hurting. Don't know if I have hurt it or what. My right was the one that was done and doing great. My fear is now that I will need a hip replacement also with the knee. I/m so tired of hurting , I just fond out that my surgrey is now is late July or Aug. Really disppointed. I am on the waiting list. feel very sad over this because I am hurting so :doggieshmooze:Tashia:cat-kittyandsmiley:
 
Well here I am at night really hurting. I really hope my pain pills kick in soon because I am really hurting. My stomach is really unhappy. Is anyone out there? :doggieshmooze:Tashia
 
Hi Tash, I'm so sorry to hear you are having such a bad day. Try to just rest for a few days,put your feet up and do nothing. For your upset tummy it might be good to just eat plain food for a couple of days if you can. Chicken and rice would be good and drink plenty of water, that might settle your stomach.

I hope the pills kick in soon and don't forget to take them regularly.

Take care of you.

Thanks anniepops, I went to the doctor today because of stomach trouble. I an again on some medicane that will protect the stomach from the pain pills. feel a little better. He also took blood tests to make sure all is well. Feet still hurt but better. Still down but not as much. Everyone must be sending a good vibes. I know lets have a good vibes party! :loll::loveshower: :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Just woke up from a nap and feeling much better. My tummy is calming down and feeling ok. No pain there. My feet are also better and so are the knees. Everyone must be sending good vibes because I feel better. Haven't heard from the doctor about the tests yet. I am really nervos about them. But sending good vibes to me I am. :loveshower::wub2::cocktail: :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Tashia,

Soooo glad you are feeling better...a nap sounds heavenly and sometimes we need to let down and just give in and that can help so much. I just read an article in "Arthritis Today" about chronic pain and how it can take on a life of it's own. You are inspiring because no matter what you just keep on going and look for ways to deal with it. Are you still going to the pain classes? Take care and keep on keeping on...xoxo
 
Well I just checked and some of my blood tests are back. Good news. My kidneys and liver are ok. Because my joints have been so sore I had a test for gout and it. It's negative. so that great. My stomach is also doing better now I'm back on the medicane. Feet still hurt but not as bad, same as the hip and knee. Boy something really got them unhappy. I know its now overdoing it because I haven't hardly been able to do much the last couple of days. Good vibes party still on. I wonder if I should included my van in this party.mmm It could use all the help it could have. :wubroses::cheers_wine::cocktail_martini: :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Diane, I guess we are both on at the same time. No the pain classes are over. I thought they were ok, I think it could of been more lively so you could learn that pain is in your life but you can still have a party. I will come over and drop by.:doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Got more results back. One test was not good but it can be fixed. No wonder I have been so depressed. Having trouble with decisions again. Wish I could wave a wond and have my mind clear so I can make some decisions. I do know not having a car that works is driving me:hairpulling: I need to make a decision about camp and I am very concered that I will not be able to control pain. Of course because of having to focus on my health could be very good. I still haven't be able to find a ride. I feel into depression with all the pain I was having and still trying to come out of it. I think I memtioned I called the surgical nurse and she said that I will not be able to get it done until July or August. My birthday is August 3rd and it would be a great present but I would like it much eariler. My hip that was done is great. I still have to take pain pills because of the pain in the left knee. there are some days I would just like a break from all of this. I know that my surgren is great thats why I have to wait so long but its tempting to move to one who would do it sooner.

did have some trouble with drugs given in the operation so anxiety level is rising while I have time to wait and think. My other hip that might need to be done is also getting worse. I feel like Humpty dumpty I think that the guy who fell off the wall and all the kings horses and all Kings men couldn't put him back together again. I know this will pass but right now thats how I feel wheather right or wrong. Does anyone else feel like this? :doggieshmooze:Tashia:cat-kittyandsmiley:
 
Catching up with you and am sorry you've been having a time of it. Being in pain a long time can really wear on you emotionally, that is for sure. Then it is difficult to be clear, like you said. Do you have a friend or family member that could sit down with y.ou and help sort things out? Sometimes I find that helps me. A friend once told me when one gets overwhelmed one needs to "chunk it down". Take one decision at a time and try to work it that way, though I do know that sometimes one decision is based on another.

So sorry your surgery is not sooner, though you never know about cancellations, especially if you have availability. I, all of a sudden, got a call and mine was moved up a whole month. Since I had not been working, due to our move to VT, I could easily change.

Not having a car can be really hard too. You have got a lot ( and have had a lot) on your plate. I am sure it seems like it will never end. Not the same, but I, too, sometimes feel things will never end with this physical stuff. I mean it was a fall down the stairs 2 years ago that started all this for me. Tore my meniscus, hurt my back, fixed the knee, treated the back, then the hip, now recovery. I know there are days I feel I have lost my vital physical self forever. Then I look to others for inspiration. I met a lady in my pool therapy the other day that was in a car accident that put her in a wheelchair. Then she worked her way to a walker, then she worked her way to a cane and now walks with none. She had all kinds of injuries and it too her years to get to this point, but she said she was stubborn and never gave up. I DO want to validate your struggle and your pain, but also want to tell you DON'T GIVE UP!!!! Keep asking for support and hopefully you will again find your resolve?

I'm pulling for you and hope today is a better day. Maybe take a day off from thinking :) all that thinking can wear a woman out. Treat yourself today as you would treat someone you love. Sometimes we don't do enough of that. Hang in there and as a friend of mine always says "MAKE it a good day" -Cathy
 
Hi Tash,

I'm sorry to see you are still struggling with the pain but pleased to hear your results came back mostly good and the other which can be sorted.

Just want to send you big hugs. :friends:

Stay strong we are all rooting for you Tashia.

Thanks for the post I think most of my mood has to do with a friend Mothers's died a couple of days ago. Because of me not having a car I can't go and help her. I found that I am in a depression because one of my tests came back low. It has to do with the medication I have to take because of the cancer I had. I think the pain meds are interfering with it and so I have depression. I can't go without both so that is the way it is. If I don't get to go to camp I will get a dog in the next 10 days. Oh no I let out what animal I'm going to get. My daughter has a cat and I do have allergy problems after a couple of days staying with her. I love all animals so the question which animal is best for me. Well thats enough from me, Ann and Cathy have a good day. For those of you who are in the way of the weather please take care and stay safe. :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
I am really feeling down tonight. I really hope tomarrow will be better. :doggieshmooze:Tashia:cat-kittyandsmiley:
 
Hi Tash,

Sorry you are feeling down. I am really hoping when you get your knee done you will have some relief. The chronic pain issue really stinks and I am sorry you are having to go through it.

My daughter and son-in-law visited for the weekend and I am so tired. The good thing is I will probably sleep well tonight. Sorry about your friend's mother, too. A lot all at once. Hoping tomorrow will be a better one for you also. Any plans for the day?
 
Thanks Diane, Depression has really got a hold on me. The pain is now starting to get under control. but to be positive is so hard for me right now. This is the time i would work in the yard and look at all my beautiful flowers. I had hoped to be able to put some plants on the patio but I am concerned about hurting myself. and my apartment is so dark in the living room I don't see how any could grown. The bedrooms are bright but I need the room for my stuff. I miss flowers greatly. The weather has been great. I hope that the weather has gotten better in your neck of the woods. The East is so pretty in the Spring. I am trying to get my hair done. But without a car its hard. Really thinking about getting rid of car. It doesn't work so why should I have it. My new car I still don't have a date of arrival. It will be so great to have wheels. I also need to get hold of my Cancer doctor because the pain medicane is not working well with the medication I have to take for the rest of my life becasue of cancer I had. If it isn't one thing its another. But that is life. and I was told as a child. there is no promises it would be easy. so a day at a time or just minutes at a time. Hope you have a very good week. Have you started your paper work for retirement? This is so exciting. Please keep me posted. :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Hi Tash,

Yes, I am knee deep in paperwork for retirement and that is why I have not been on the forum as much. Today everything needs to go in the mail so the process can officially begin. It is exciting but also a little scary as is any change.

Hoping your cancer dr. can help with the meds. Even though we don't always like taking them we have many options and I will pray they can find just the right combination for you that will give you some relief without other issues. Try and have a good day...perhaps a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store?:flowerysmile::wubroses:
 
I just got back a test result to see if my Cancer is back and it is negative. Now I have been clean since Spring 2007. In December 21st , 2006, my Cancer was removed and some cells were still there. So after radiation I became Cancer Free. So I have two dates of being Cancer Free, the surgrey date and the date that told me the few cells of Cancer where gone and that is the Spring of 2007. :wow2: Isn't that GREAT!. :doggieshmooze:Tashia:friends:
 
Best news ever! Good for you. We live in an amazing time for health care. It is not perfect but has come so far in the past few years that we can reap the benefits. Love to you.
