Yo.

I wish I could joke about my Forgetti Syndrome, I really do. And as long as it was only things like ice cream sandwiches, (which were from Dairy Queen BTW) I was just annoyed and disgusted with myself.

But when it starts to leak into the financial aspect of our lives, I have to take more serious notice. Part of the phone bill fiasco in June was my fault when I remembered something I'd forgotten, but more of it was theirs. And cost us a lot. And now I'm thinking my lost mammo appointment was my fault too, I think I was supposed to call and pre-register after I got the appointment. And I never did.

Moving on......

I forgot about the rule with clindamycin that I have to stay vertical for the first 30 minutes after taking. I had to try and nap. I was in near tears fighting the sleep. So there I was, laying in some kind of twilight zone when the inside of my mouth began to sort of 'fizz'.

Oops.

Hasn't quit since. Well, at least I know it's doing something I guess. I'm not having any other notable side effects. But there is a long term warning with this drug, a side effect that can show up long after the drug is used up. Scary.

I haven't taken any in the middle of the night either, because I've managed to get some real sleep. I WILL LET NOTHING INTERFERE WITH REAL SLEEP. If someone wants to come and bring me the frackin' pill in the middle of the night, then I'll take it. I won't do anything that could wake me up further than needing the bathroom, if I feel like I will sleep again after and that's how it's been.

Again, I WILL LET NOTHING INTERFERE WITH REAL SLEEP!

I think today I actually get to choose to stay home. w00t.

Tomorrow morning Mokie goes to the vet for his yearly. Then if I'm up to it, a cat food run.

Have I mentioned we think Spot is up to 10 pounds now? He was 3 pounds when we brought him home March 4th.

Oh - our insurance FINALLY approved the MRI. Shoulder has slowly been getting worse. Not pain so much as not being able to move. Range of motion is really disappearing. If I force it, depending on which direction, pain is minimal, or I see stars and almost cry. But sometimes it just won't go where I want it to and there's no pain.

Very frustrating.

Ok, I managed to get the bead table ready to be worked at the other day... Wish me luck. I broke down and ordered an extra tall neck bust so I could hang things on it to test lengths. One that's like a real neck, not a cardboard stand. I can't reach up behind my own neck any more to test things, and when the beads are only temporarily secured, I can't just spin the necklace around to put it on myself and take it off, or I'm chasing beads in the carpet.

Hugs and Much Mojo to all, I know it's needed out there.

Eeew, fizzy mouth. Hmmm...weird. Glad the nausea is gone, though. I'm with ya on the SLEEP issue. SLEEP is too important.

Glad you got a neck and a bead table! Yay!

Glad you got an MRI, too. I hope that they can get this fixed up for you.

Forgetti. Mine has been bad lately too. I hate it. Makes me feel insane. Hope the toniq helps ya and you don't have more problems.

Many hugs

Did I tell you I saw an avatar of a flying spaghetti monster??? It made me think of you...not sure why....something you said I guess...anyway, I have no idea where that though came from. Sometimes I shoud just take my fingers off the keyboard...

I'm glad the MRI was approved. You do need one. I have range of motion problems too, and can't seem to move my left arm past a certain point when trying to move it out. I can move it forward and backwards, but out to the side is awfully painful, so I just try not to do it. I must do it in my sleep though, cuz I wake up many nights with my arm just throbbing.

I've been waiting for the latest "Spot" picture. I have no doubt that he weighs ten pounds. Goodness, you must feel it when he jumps on your lap! Does he still try to climb your leg?? Holy cow!! Ouch!!

Well, I'm sorry my Weebs is dealing with forgetti syndrome and pain in joints. I want for you to feel well.

I need to send a can of "Forget me not" for you to drink with the Brain Toniq! That may help. I can't think, myself, today.....I should just go back to bed...in fact, I think I'll just do that.

Hugs and love to you!!

Fizzy mouth...not sure about that one....yuck. Oh I wish I could order a new neck....no sun-damage or wrinkles please, and uh, could ya leave off the turkey waddle thingy?
Glad you got that stuff, anything, ANYTHING, to make the enjoyable part of your life easier.
Sending Shoulder Mojo....lot's of it...hope the MRI is definitive and finds something that can be EASILY fixed.
Forgetti Syndrome....that should be in the divorce papers next to unresolvable break down of marriage...sigh....
I send you loves my friend....Cathi

the clindamycin: I was not religious on taking it. Meaning..I didn't get up in the middle of the night, I did not lay down after taking it...I just took it and went about my life. Don't worry about all that Karen. And yes, there are side effects afterwards but once again...RARE. Do you feel a difference?

Holstar
I still have fizz mouth. That's it.

KweebsLS
The neck bust sounds like a good thing. I hope it really helps with your beading and you have some time to enjoy it today! I'm sorry that your shoulder is just getting worse. I hope the MRI gives answers to help you feel better. Many hugs!!

Beading! What a great activity! I need an activity. I was thinking quilting.

Hugs to you. Hugs and mojo flying your way.

Boo for side efx, yay for hobbies and activities and new toys that make then easier!

I'm pretty sure my memory is going as well, my retention is pretty shot which is very demoralizing too. I used to learn so quickly and absorb and retain everything. Not anymore...makes learning new stiuff like computers and software very difficult. I just can't remember how I did it last time...GRRR

Hope you have a pleasant and restful day.

10 pounds! are you sure need more cat food? LOL

ttyl, shell

wannabewell
Ooohh sleep. I forgot what that was. I haven't been getting any sleep over the last week. I'm sure that's a big part of my painful state right now. I'm so glad you got some. I wouldn't let anything interfere with that either! Fizzy mouth is a strange effect isn't it?

Keep us posted on your beading. I hope you can post some pics when you get some projects done.

Hugs!

Forgetti syndrome - ummmm, forgot what that means/is/was/could be/should be. Now what was I talking about???????????????

doctortyper
Memory issues stink big time...or suck the big one as my dad says.

I hate hate hate it to...makes me feel dumb and useless...hope that is not the case with you.

Real sleep is important and why does everything we take have to be hard...we are already sick things are already hard. WAke up people!

Rest up! Give hugs and kisses to the furry ones! Piper is loosing weight I think! Hurray! Good bye fat cat!

Hugs and indigo energy to you!

I have been feeling brain-challenged lately, too. I've been blaming it on constant strain, stress, and interruptions at work. I'm not getting things at work done as quickly as I should, and when I get home I'm completely fried. My usual trick of getting some quiet time to gather my thoughts works well when there is someone else there to catch the crap that's flying at me for while. I've been trying to have quiet time at home, and that seems to be helping at home, but at work I'm still a mess. I think I nicked one of your avatars once that said something about fried brains with jumbled thoughts on the side? Yeah...that's me at work lately. And I still haven't gotten used to the new Quicken program I'm using. I stare at the same reports I've always stared at, but they make no sense to me. I still have no concept of how much money we have because the report looks different. Oy. It's been a couple of months...I need to get a handle on that!

So, my suggestion, and stop me if you've heard this song before...meditate, and try to exercise your brain sometimes when you don't need it. I think a little quiet time with just you and your brain might help you to reconnect with it a bit. And a co-worker went to a "strengthen your brain" kind of seminar once, and the basics they taught were how to exercise your brain a little every day. Do puzzles, take a different route to work every day, remember a list of things by numbering them and giving them pictures for the numbers so you use both sides of the your brain, that type of stuff. Now, for us, the more brain power we use, the more exhausted we feel (I actually read an article about a study that proved that). So we must find ways to exercise our brain without exhausting our bodies...so...only do little bits of brain exercise at a time, okay? And don't get down on yourself too hard, that only makes things worse. Focus on what you CAN do, sweetie, because the rest just keeps you from doing what you CAN do.

Glad you're getting the MRI. I wish it didn't have to be such a fight. Hopefully it will find something easily fixable! *HUGS*
