cagoldi she has a cardio appointment September 6th, I'm not sure if they'll tell her the results straight away. I'm so sorry your legs hurt so much, that sucks!

My dad is coherent today so that's good. They got him to stand up last night but he doesn't remember it. LOL.
The therapist just came in to ask a bunch of questions before he gets started. They're going to do an ultrasound on his arm to rule out a blood clot though. He was complaining about it hurting a few days ago and now he can't raise his arm. His elbow looks pretty swollen and I think it may be broken. The night nurse mentioned doing an X-ray but this nurse wants to do the ultrasound first. Hopefully his dr comes by soon.

cagoldi, that must be terribly frustrating. Is there anything you can take for the pain? IDK, yes, but I haven't done any prescription medication so far because of the terrible side effects. Today is really testing my resolve though. I can barely concentrate.

cagoldi, have they checked your leg veins for clotting or narrowing? Not in several years. I'd be surprised if that were the case though because fibro pain is unmistakable and this is very much normal except for how intense it happens to be today for whatever reason.

I'm sorry cagoldi . It's so frustrating when there's nothing you can really do. Maybe chant with some crystals and rub essential oil on you just for the hell of it? Funny you should say that. This is not my thing *at all*, but my uncle's wife has fibromyalgia and has gotten into this kind of thing. It's been a lot better in recent years so idk. :shruggy guy: @goldi the aforementioned aunt also has had success with bike-riding to get exercise. She says if she skips a day she can quickly tell pain-wise. Not saying to go jump on your bike but maybe something to consider for the future. I'm sorry you are dealing with this--it's a bitch.

Yeah, that's the real Catch-22. I have been walking everyday. I do my stationary bike about 3-4 times a week. I'm still going to have to try to push myself to walk after the kids are in bed tonight since I didn't go this morning. It sucks to do when you're hurting but I do know it tends to get worse the less active I am. I mock the EO and crystals people at least as much as the next person but I'd try anything at this point. I'm not anti-medication, just anti-medication that has crappy side effects. Once I shut down from work I'll probably try a bath and lay on a heating pad until the kids get home.

cagoldi haven't had any experience myself, but I've heard that acupuncture can also have good results when it comes to pain relieve.

Thanks for the good thoughts ladies! Surgery went well! Compared to last surgery, he did amazingly well! We're home now and he's still a bit loopy from the anesthesia, and I think he's starting to hurt a bit. Waiting for dh to get home with dinner and his prescriptions.

cagoldi, that's awful. Last night I was sore from working out and kinda achy. It was miserable walking with the kids! I can't imagine what you're feeling.

My dad is disoriented and has a fever. He thinks he's in GA or FL and is calling my sister by the wrong name. They want to either send him to a skilled nursing facility or keep him here to do acute therapy. We don't want him going to another facility. He was expecting to go home tomorrow and will be crushed when he realizes that isn't an option.
I forgot how hard it is to see someone like this. My mother is getting really frustrated with him and I keep reminding him he can't help it.
If he doesn't get a roommate one of us will be staying with him tonight. We don't want to leave him when he doesn't know where he is.

Hey...sorry I've been MIA today. We went to a new park this morning then naps, then I took the girls to the ILs house so I could go to PT. After supper we got blizzards from DQ because it's buy one get one for 99 cents. I'm glad surgery went well xolastunicornxotgrimes I'm sorry your dad is disoriented. I hope he's better after some sleep. cagoldi sorry you're dealing with pain.
