I'm Back!

I NEVER want to be this long without a computer ever again! Enjoy my time away, you ask? Hell NO! I felt like there was a part of me missing! Never realized just how boring daytime TV is! Still don't know what happened, DS ended up re-formatting. Thankfully, I had moved lots to my ED and burned a lot of PSP stuff (fonts, filters, etc) so now it is just reinstalling them. Don't think I lost anything that I can't live without!

Wish I could say that I did something really exciting with my "time off" but I was in such a funk that I just kinda moped...how pathetic am I! Let's see...while I was gone...my son got laid off and found a new job the next day and today the first place called him to ask him to come back. Crazy! On Friday, they were telling him to have his friend come in for an interview because they were looking for another guy and then on Monday morning they laid him off. His supervisor said he had no idea why but they were laying off two people. That morning he went and applied at another place and by that afternoon, he had the job. He is really happy with the way things worked out though since this new place does not mass produce anything. They are more developmental and it is always something new. And then today, with the call from the "old" place, he is really feeling pretty good about himself. My daughter is interviewing for a new position in her company. Not so much a promotion but more of a lateral move. She has only been with them for 3 months but she was recommended for it by her supervisor which makes her feel pretty good.

As for me, I went back to the pain clinic since they have totally revamped this stimulator program and I decided to give it another try before having it taken out. I am seeing a different doctor there so hopefully the results will be better. I was one of the 'failures' for the program and it caused a ton of weird symptoms that they could not explain and swore that it could not have anything to do with the stimulator. Seems funny that when it was turned off the symptoms went away! Anyway, they use much lower stimulation and think now that I was being over stimulated and for some reason, I am extremely sensitive to it. Trying to keep an open mind about it but so far, (only been since Wednesday) no improvement but sometimes it can take about a month before you notice improvement in the pain relief. And, of course, we have had so much rain since Wednesday...sure that hasn't helped!

Grambie....gentle hugs, my dear. Sorry that you are having to go through all of that. Having worked as an Oncology nurse, I more than understand what you are going through. I know that a port is not something you want but it really is the best solution. You are and have been in my prayers and in a special place in my heart!

So, let me go and try to get up and running...be back tomorrow with an upload if all goes well. Thanks so much for all your comments...I have missed you all! BIG HUGS!!!
