Feel like insides will fall out...

16 years ago

Not in pain really..just when trying to change sides in bed (it's just easier to get up turn my body and get back into bed..poor dogs get so confused).

Back hurts from sitting so much.

Trying to walk..guess i'll be "checking for mail" multiple times a day as that seem to be my energy limit right now,

I look about 6 months pregnant (okay maybe that's no change from before)

Hormones are bad today and have the weeping "poor me" attutude. Really sucks because I know things aren't so bad, but just feel like crying.

I know I know it'll be 1 week tomorrow..ONLY 1 week tomorrow, it was major admoninal..heck i've tried to spell that word 3 times now, none look right, so forget it...surgery, that's not much...I just want to not hurt.

And now I feel like a heel because I think of Kat and MaryAnn going through Chemo and know those on Dialysis and those who are always in pain and I'm whining about pain that will go away and cancer that they probaly got out and I'll be fine. See..big baby day today!

Call the doctor,quick, and tell them it's an emergency. Anytime you have surgery,things can possibly go wrong-maybe you overdid and tore an internal stitch, maybe you're bleeding.

Oh that is miserable. I had the old style gallbladder surgery years ago. It was two weeks before I could roll over on my own. Recovering from abdominal surgery is pretty tough since they go through muscle. You're 1/2 way there Vickey. It can only get better from now.

In the meantime do whatever makes you feel better. Cry
ing can reduce stress. Just don't laugh. That will really hurt. ;-)

Moving pots back inside for fall/winter, how to keep bugs out ?

Hi Butterfly! I might try to 'segregate' the plants, hopefully in different rooms maybe. I read that if you put 1/2 inch of sand on top of your soil that keeps fungus gnats away. I soaked my banana in water for 24 hours, that hopefully will kill any bugs in the soil, not sure about eggs though. I'll try to post a pic of the banana later, it's only 3 feet tall, it'd be taller but I have it in a smaller pot (like a 10 inch one). If you have big plants and have trouble carrying them (I know what you mean, just toting the banana is tough to do, but I have to repot it), some plant catalogs and stores sell flat plant stand thingies with casters (wheels) on them, maybe you could get something like that? I had one banana, and it's got 2 pups now. :) I just hope my indoor ones don't get any diseases (crossing my fingers).

Seedmama, I'll file away that info about the scorpion sting and ammonia for the next sting. This was my first scorpion sting in 6 or 7 years. We had lots of scorpions the first few years, including inside the house, which seems typical in new homes here, but not many recently. I DID hear you honking as you went down I35 this time, and told Tim "There she goes again....." lol I bet Houston was awful, weather-wise. When is their humidity not in the killer range? I know our dew point here was as high as 75 yesterday, and someone from Texas told me their dewpoints there were in the 80s. As far as I know, we've never hit the 80s in the dewpoint here in southcentral OK, although those of you in central thru northeastern OK might have since y'all have more humidity than us most of the time. Thanks for reminding me that April was weird. hee hee Do we ever have a month when our weather is not odd? Maybe October of some years? Diane, Any rain is good. I hope some falls here...they've put a 20-30% chance in every day in the seven day forecast after today. It is not much of a chance, but any chance is better than no chance. In some areas, the cracks in the clay are almost 1" wide. I am getting a bad feeling about this summer, Maybe it is because last summer was cooler than average in June and most of July and wetter than average, but this June seems so much hotter and drier by comparison. OK, off to Gainesville to the community playground with Maddie. We'd be there already, but her grandparents completely wore her out yesterday and she slept until 10 a.m. It is partially shaded but I still like to get there pretty early in the day to 'beat the heat' if such a thing is possible. I've been up for hours and outside so long today I already feel hot and wilted and worn out and she's as fresh as a daisy and full of energy. Aaargggh! Youth vs. old age, I guess. Dawn

Heat continues to show here too! Fall is not here yet, but I can that cooler weather will be here in a few weeks. I just checked one of the winter predictions and due to a forming la nina, they are expecting a slightly warmer than average winter for the mid atlantic and northeast with near normal snowfall (which means much less than last winter), But they did say winter would start early before a break in the cold mid winter. They said the midwest will have much more snow than usual but I'm not sure if they said you would also be colder than usual. So I guess fall will be around average when it comes so the extreme heat should be gone by late september here. Good luck! Enjoy the heat while its here!!! -Alex

LOL San...Well it's our only bye weekend for Youth Football..so it's a lazy day..Hubby was going to go into work..but apparently the bed was to comfy..and he couldn't pull himself out...~Darn it kinda..coulda used that overtime $$~ I've been out in the garage rummaging and trying to figure what I can get myself into. LOL... I, like San, know what should and needs to be done..but I'm sure I can find something that will make me forget.. I have a few doors to knock on, to see if they will allow me to remove apples from their property that just are falling to the ground..if so that'll keep me a bit busy for a while. LOL The dog and I have been taking walks in the am...and she's been my shadow all day..she's like hey...I'm ready..where's the leash..I guess it won't hurt to put on the socks and shoes, grab the leash and get a quick stroll in... Have a wonderful weekend everyone...Football is always on here...but I only like to watch if I can watch my children..They don't play on tv YET......

after my emergency ab surgery this summer, I slept on the couch propped up for a week. I couldn't lay flat on the bed.

is it a level safe surface to your mailbox? you can just walk around the house.

I was in the hospital for5 or 6 nights. they had me up and walkng 9 or 10 hours after surgery. did they have you walking the halls at the hospital? I was walking about 1 or 2 miles a day around in circles on the hospital floor! LOL. The nurses told me how many times around the floor was a mile. i couldn't eat for a week, but I was walking! LOL walking is really really good for you,.

just try to take a couple steps more than the last time.

It's ok to feel sorry for yourself. Gotta to that a little, right?

But do call the dr. if you have the slightest inkling all is not well. Especially as we are coming up to a weekend. You don't want to decide Friday night you wish you had called. You can just call and tell how you are feeling and ask if that is normal. It will give you some peace of mind.

Vickey, when you are in bed, keep a small throw pillow handy. They should have told you to hold a pillow to your tummy/incision area when you cough or sneeze. Do the same when you roll over. Sounds to me that what you are feeling is normal, as I remember from 11 years ago. I wasn't even allowed in a car, except for the ride home from the hospital, for 10 days. And even then it hurt like crazy. Can't say about the hormones, as I still have the ovaries, sorry. My girlfriend had it all removed a few years ago, and was warned that might happen, tho.

But, as socks mentiioned, if you don't think something is right, or you just want reasurance, please call the office. They will be happy to set your mind at ease. They would rather do that, than have something wrong and not be able to tell you, because you didn't call.

Sending more healing thoughts.

Tami
