Sit-Sleeping on the toilet (Go Ahead Laugh) :)

Hi Everyone!!!  I have been lurking and reading posts, but my dang wrists is doing something funky.  The bones fusing is pushing the hands outwards and it burns so bad, I have been having to wrap freezing cryogenic gel pads around them and bracing them.  It doesn't help much :( Apparently in my sleep last night (please laugh, its funny) I crawled out of bed went straight for the freezer, (I am so stiff when I get up in the morning, maybe I do this more than I think?) grabbed my gel pads and fell asleep on the toilet with these freezing pads resting on my thighs, not a good idea for someone who has livedo and Raynauds.

My thighs were so numb, I probably could of stabbed them and not felt it.  Who knows how long I was sitting there, if my kids had found me like that they would of took some blackmail pictures-hehehehe  The bad thing, my hubby is telling me this on his 15 min break at work laughing his butt off, did he think to wipe my derriere' and put me back into bed?  Noooooo.......  Or tell me before he left for work?  Who knows how long I was sitting there sleeping!!!  He just wants me to think I am going mad. hehehehe

Well right now I am very frustrated, I finally had my appt with the ID Dr to talk about the parvo and the EBV, I go outside and my tire is flat.  The town I live in has no gas station, store, nothing but a farm equipment shop and they are busy with harvesting right now, maybe tonight our multi-talented do it all guy can put a plug in it, so now I am trying patiently not to be mad about this.  I think it was a sign, I am tired, way too tired to drive in a big, busy city, not to mention the hour drive through cornfield country.  Have to love the colors though....

Well I thought maybe you guys needed to laugh today, cant wait for the hubby to get home so I can get him back, any ideas? :)

Love To All,

Ada

That was too funny!!!  Can't wait for you to think of a way to get hubby back!!

I've done that same thing a time or two, but luckily no one knew but me...hee...hee...hee

My hubby would have probably left me there too.  I got down on the floor last week to try and do some stretches, thinking it would help these stupid spasms.  

Well, didn't help the spasms and then couldn't get up off the floor.  Hubby got a real chuckle outta that, he was laughing so hard he couldn't help me up, so I just crawled over to the couch and manage to pull myself up.  I'm planning on retribution, big time  ha..ha...ha..

I left you a note earlier about your flat tire, can you reschedule your dr appt soon? I sure hope so.

As always you are in my thoughts and prayers, Ada gal.

Hugs

HA HA HA HA HA HA...I am sorry but I can picture you there and hubby just going about  his business...but he probably should have woken you and put you back to bed at least!  Well ya know those COLD things you put on your wrists...perhaps you should "forget" that you left them on his side of the bed just before he goes to bed tonight...see if he likes trying to sleep on a freezing bed???

I hope you can reschedule the appointment soon...you have been waiting so long now that it's a shame about the flat tire.  hope you can get in soon honey.

Love ya,
Rena

It's funny, for sure, but not funny it had to happen at all.  God Bless your dear hubby for making sure you were cleaned off and for putting you back to bed.  My sweet guy might have cleaned my rear, but certainly could not have put me back n the bed, unless he hired a backhoe to lift me.  Even with all my weight loss, I am too big for him to pick up.  God bless him.

You know Mok, it's about time you deserved a real HEALTH BREAK.  If you just put all your aches and pains on a shelf for a week, at least it would give you a much needed break.  I usually ask my doctor for just ONE day with no pain.  They can't even offer me that....

My heart aches for what you have to endure, but at least you have a hubby that loves you just the same.  How could he not?  You're gorgeous, loving and compassionate.  He couldn't have a better mate.  I'll beat he's a sweetheart too.

I love you Mok.  If I had a million dollars, I would give it all away, if it could pay for your good health.  I really do mean that...but, if you wouldn't mind...after I gave away the million, could you help me with cab fare, so I could get home?

I love you babygirl,
Huggie Wuggies,
Heather

It's okay, honey!! Ada understands.  I did the exact same thing last week while sending a pm to Frann, (I like to check on her at least once a month).

I had just sent Rena a note, so just like you, I called Frann, Rena......see....I know exactly how you feel.  Besides, you've got MS, remember....I can't even say that...ha..ha

Everyone loves you earth mother, brain farts and all!!!

Heather, I thought we were going to have our huge forum family vacation with the lotto money?  Last winter we talked about Hawaii because it was so cold but now that summer is passing, where do we go?  Go visit Rena and rent a caravan of RV's and enjoy mother nature?  My Dear Earth Mother, where would I be without you?  Sweetie, you sound like you need some good restorative sleep.  The nice cool air at night, some good creamy potato soup and we'll get a nap out of you yet.  Dont feel bad about the name thing, it did get me wondering, how is Mokibear?

Doni, what can we do to our other half that will make them think twice about leaving us high and dry???  mmmm, brains thinking, do you pack lunches for your hubby?  I use to leave little notes tucked in the sandwich bags, if I got lucky, it would stick to the bread and they might get a little taste of the To Do List.  Just wish they would get it done.....  I have other ideas but that puts into play vaseline and boots, messy but gets the job done.

Rena, love that idea, but ever since the fever thing came he sleeps on the couch :(  I get to hot? Maybe I could put a heating pad into his pillow and really get him sweating-hehehe  I never knew you could be too "hot" for a man:)  What do ya think, Rena?  Would you show us the sights in your beautiful neck of the woods?  Could you imagine all of us taking over a campsight?  It would be wonderful.

Sorry it takes so long to type now, oopps, I forgot, my rescheduled appt is for the 15th at 9:30 in the morning, I'm glad it wasn't for months out, the nurse assistant I talked to said it is to go over the results of the biopsy, nothing fancy, just talking.  I am glad I stayed home today.

Love Ya Gals!!!

I suppose glue on the toilet seat when it's time for him to do his business would be just too mean, huh?  Dang.

I think a caravan of RVs in Rena's beautiful area sounds wonderful. Can I come too?

I'm so glad to see you posting; I've missed you!  I haven't exactly been keeping up with all the goings on here, but I haven't seen you for a while, and it's like having an empty chair at the Thanksgiving table that should be filled by one of your favorite relatives.

Love ya'

Hehehehe!!!  I feel like I am planning an after football game hazing.....  Oh Saran Wrap would be perfect!!!  But I think I will wait til he decides to have a drink or two, sneak it on him.  No matter what I do, it wont be as good as me sleeping on the sh***** to him, if that makes sense.  Maybe now would be a good time to ask him for that half bath in the bedroom?  My To Do List keeps growing for him....

Kathy of course you get to go!!!  Andie, you in?  You took Rena & Me to the zoo, I'm not sure how good my depth perception is but I am sure I can wrestle an RV.  hehehe  Kathy, I am sorry I didn't get back with ya, I am ashamed to say somedays I cant push through this arthritis pain and type away like I used to, I get so mad somedays and the only people who understand it is my forum family.  I am not usually too far away.  I promise.

Love Ya!!!

I can feel you around; know you're not gone, just missed seeing you.  I totally understand aobut not always being able to type much.  Wish you didn't have the danged pain.  Oh, for that magic wand....

We should probably have a lead vehicle warning other drivers about our RV convoy; your depth perception, my dizziness and shaky hands, and so on.  

I had forgot about the saran wrap thing; cool.  That does work best after the person's had a few drinks; maybe the light in the bathroom can be a little dim...

love and hugs,

Kathy

An RV trip sounds GREAT!!!  No mosquitos this time of year either and the mountains would be beautiful with leaves on the trees changing and you would hear the Elk bellowing in rut and the "Crack" sound of the big horn sheep dueling for mates!  That is unless all our yakking scares them away...I would foresee a massive giggle fest that's for sure...especially when we all get tired! hehe  What a blast that would be though!

I will ask hubby if he is game...of course he would be...surrounded by women in need of hand here and a lift there...he would be our gallant knight in shining armour! hehe

Lots of Hugs,
Rena

Not to worry about the RV driving.  I drove one of the long school buses for YEARS and I am quite adept at driving.  Okay...so now we have a driver...what next?

And the reason for my brain warps, is that I have had three doctor's appointment in 5 days.  I had to travel at least 40 miles round trip to each of them, since I live in the country away from the big city.  I admit, I am over-tired.  Thank God all of you here are so forgiving of our brain farts.  That's another good book, we should all write, next to "You Know When you have MS....."  Two good books.

I hope you are not offended Rena, because I call you my little "Plum Muffin."  When someone gives you a nickname, it really does mean that they care.

Okay, nap time.  Just got home from a doctor's appointment, grocery shopping and pharmacy, so I am bushed.  Time for a nappy poo.  Gosh I am getting old and worn out.

Hugs and Love to All,
Earth Mother

OMG, I love the 2-sided clear plastic tape; it maybe a little tiny bit cruel, but it would be better than my glue, and doni is probably right about the clean-up after the saran wrap.

But unless Ada's hubby has a hairless hiney, the tape would create a few yells and BALD SPOTS!  

Ooohh, we are somewhat wicked women!  We would have an awesome time up in Rena's neighborhood, Heather driving, talking all the way.  From the pictures I've seen, it looks pretty close to heaven, especially without mosquitos!

Thanks for all the big smiles!

Wouldn't you know, I spent a half hour typing and poof it disappeared.  Frustrating.....  I know I replied to Shell, there is nothing like a hard toilet seat to make the hiney so whiney....

Moki, I am so glad you got a laugh out of this, you need it Sweetie, I know how rough this time is for you but know I am with ya all the way.  

Lulu, I don't think I've talked to you before but so glad you're here, there is nothing like the love of this forum family.  It is such a special place to be.

T-Lynn- It is so good to hear from you, from one sore butt to another do you suppose we should get those nice, cushiony, heated, fancy, smansy toilet seats?  I love the double sided tape idea, thanks a bunch for that one, got the wheels a turnin in me little brain!!!  Where to apply?  hehehe

Heather, I know how you feel with the long commutes to the Dr's, but please nap when you can, I worry about you.....  You know Earth Mother, brain farts make us unique because only the one having the fart, has the idea....hehehe

Rena, Kathy, Doni, Andie, I'm sorry I have to cut this short, I have been trying to type this out for an hour now and I gotsto rest the hands, be back later, ok?

Love You All So Much!!!!
