No Monday!
So, I went to bed on Sunday evening, and I finally climbed out of bed an hour ago, on Tuesday Morning.
I missed Monday entirely.

I think I need to consider that a benefit rather than a drawback. :P

How much would you pay to skip Monday? :)

By the way, I miss a lot of you. I'm around, just lurking. I don't have much to say, but that doesn't mean I haven't been stopping by occasionally. :grouphug:

1. Hi Thom.
Kinda wish I could've skipped yesterday..I felt like crap most of the day...I've been thinking about you cause I've felt a bit like you of late..Sleeping all the time! But the fatique seems to be the trade off for my interferon actually working..my bloodcounts last week were really really good....:hug:

3. Yay! I'm glad your bloodcount is so good.
:hug:

I hope it stays that way.
:loveya:

We had had so much rain off and on that I can't seem to catch a break. The rare sunny day doesn't help me because I'm already feeling the rain coming the next day. Hopefully soon we'll have some consecutive good days. :)

FYI, I'm going back to Mayo for a checkup next month so hopefully even the fatigue can be dealt with...:hi:

Edited on Tue Apr-07-09 09:37 AM by MissMillie
but I'd pay to miss today.


Maybe I should ask the doc for whatever you're taking.


You feeling ok, other than sleeping through entire days?

4. I wish.
With all the rain and cold we're getting I've been in a lot of pain. Even with the new painkillers I'm in too much pain to function, so I'm not even getting out of bed when I'm awake half the time. :(

I'm waiting for good, warm, dry weather. We're past due. :)

5. Hi Thom
:hug:

I think it is a good thing that you were able to sleep that long, an escape from the pain is a good thing. Glad you woke up today! :D

6. I did pretty much the same thing
I hurt my back on Saturday and missed work yesterday and today, just trying not to move. x( I'm so bored. The only good thing is that when I go back tomorrow, the week will be half over. :P

13. Hi CaliforniaPeggy!
:loveya:

Me too. If you came into town today I wouldn't be able to go meet you. I miss the days when I could easily get out and around. :hug:

14. I skip every Monday!
I mean, I don't work Mondays. The horrible part, though, is working Saturdays. :-(

Hope you feel ok now, Thom. :hug:

17. Working Saturdays is Not a good thing.
It's almost not worth getting mondays off if you have to work on the weekend. :(

I'm doing okay as long as I don't move much. :P

My computer desk is 2' from my bed, and I keep going back and forth from one to the other. Nap. Go Online. Nap. Go Online. So far it's working.

:hug:

that doesn't sound so good, Thom. Will you get any more pt? I didn't realize, even with meds, you were that limited in mobility. :hug:

20. I'll probably be checking into the hospital
for in-patient rehab for a few weeks in May. It's not certain yet, but my doctor is looking into it.

I can't go to regular PT anymore. They said I'm beyond the scope of their abilities. :(

19. It was only manic in my dreams.
:P

:hi:

I feel like I have nothing to say recently. I'm always trying to find out what I missed, what happened while I was asleep. And even when I want to post something, I wonder if it's too late to say that because it's probably already been beaten to death on other threads. So I don't. :shrug:

I'm sleeping a little bit less as I acclimate to these these meds through. So in a few months I might be awake and online more again. :)

21. What's your secret?
I despise Sundays AND Mondays. If I double up on whatever you did, I might can miss both of those days for the rest of my life. :evilgrin:

23. It's no secret.
But I hope you never have fibro, and I hope you never have to take the pain meds I'm on. You don't want the chronic fatigue, or meds amplifying it.

:hug:

I hope you find your own, much more pleasant, way to skip over days. :)

Getting lost is so much Hot Blissful Sex that you forget what day it is sounds like a much better option. Opt for that one. :7

24. I'll take that one.
Hot Blissful Sex is my most favorite thing in the world. That WOULD be much much better.


I hope you start feeling better soon. I wish you didn't have to put up with all that pain. :hug: :loveya:

26. hi ThomCat!
Wow - must be pretty intense to sleep that long ... do you feel refreshed at all when you wake up, or does the fibro and meds render that impossible?

How is the new med regime working? One of your recent posts you listed the drs starting you on things that you were worried might aggravate your migraines -- how has it been going for you?

So nice to see you here! :hug:

30. I never feel rested.
:(

No matter how much I sleep I can always roll over and sleep some more. I always feel like I haven't had enough.

I'm still having the almost daily migraines. I had 4 migraines in the past week, but at least it was only 4.

Things are still in the adjustment stage. My pain management doctor is considering changing my meds again because of the sleeping problem, but we'll see what happens. :shrug:

:hug:

34. Hi Thom
I did Monday for you, and then I came down with some ear-throat thing that kept me in today and possibly tomorrow.

Things have been very unusual for me, lately. I hardly get to lurk. I'm glad to see you and I hope you got a good rest. Monday is a good day to drop from the line-up!

:hug:

36. Hi Swimboy!
:hi:

I haven't seen you around in over a year. :hug:

I hope your ear/throat problem is very temporary. Please take care of yourself.

I hope it's good that you've been so busy.

37. I'm trying not to miss too many days.
At least, not too many days in a row. :P

:hug:

I'm holding up reasonably well. As long as my supply of painkillers holds out and I've got friends to help me I'm okay. :)
