hey u hopes all is well.. Is one thing after another for me.. April lyme comes back and blows my knee up on left knee again, take anti inflammatory and then from walking wierd screws up my back that seems to get better and week before memorial day weekend I decided to just take it easy to help my back.. well by thursday before memorial day weekend my calf on right leg is super sollen.. Of course Dr. is on vaca.. so went to work on Friday and ended up leaving at lunch to go to Walk in at Vernon.. After 2 hour wait DR said either a broken cyst or Deep Vein Thrombosis.. UGHHHH so I went to Manchester ER and sat on a guirny at the nurses station waiting for an ultrasound..a 10 minute procedure found a clot.. so they gave me blood thinners.. After sitting in ER for 6 hours!! I finally came home!And had to give myself shots for 6 days and now am eating pills.. Am doing ok.. Leg itches more than hurts..But guess risk is alot lower on blood thinners that it breaks off and kills me.. lol so I am liking that.. Never missed a day of work from it.. good thing cant afford it.. But am on vaca this week and just taking it easy.. need to go for blood work once a week for 6 weeks.. ughh am a pin cushion.. had same girl 2 times now least she is good and no bruising.. Ahh well least I am still on the right side of the grass still.. I wasn't even going to go to ER until the secratary said u want me to call 911 instead?? When I finally got to see my dr. as a follow up Tuesday I asked him what would be a symptom that the clot had moved to my lungs or worse.. he said well the dificulty breathing would not be an issue because you would be dead.. LMAO!! talk about direct.. then he checks my blood presure and pulse and says .. wow that it is kinda high.. lets hook u up to EKG.. heheh I wonder why it would be high after telling me that!! DUHHH..
Anyways.. I hope your life has been less exciting.. Talk to you soon

Hey there!
I sure in heck hope you bought some sneakers or got some new ones from Santa! Can't say I gained much.. Maybe, lol DR apt. is in a couple weeks.. Hopefully this year I don't have any more excuses not to go walking in 2 or 3 months! Hopes you are doing good and everything is fine.. No major excitement here.. Been spending spare time trying to learn how to play guitar.. Took December off and lost all caloses on my fingertips.. UGHH oh well is only a month of pain, hehe Couldnt come home and feel frustrated.. so took time off.. Was a bit tough being a year already since I lost my mom.. Got thru it though.. Well will try an keep in touch a bit more!

Cool! We can meet Odie at 7 in McDonalds Parking lot.. I don't mind drivin. I could come by an pick u up at 6:45 and go from there.He told me what car he drives but I forgot LOL I think he said Impala? No worries we will figure it out..See u at 645 tonight.

Hey there Susan..
Odie from TU got in touch with me and was asking if we could meet up Friday night as he was going to be in the area. I told him that I would ask and see if you would be available to go out for dinner with us. I was thinking the place on Sullivan Ave, The Red Onion would be a nice place. I dunno, he said he went to school with you so I figured I would see if you would like to go as well.. I need to call him and see what his exact schedual is. I wrote to him and said we could meet him at the McDonalds off 291 on Rt. 5. and drive over to Red Onion.
I know it's kinda short notice as it was for me too. But if you could go, it would be fun.. I called but I guess you are out partying with your friend.. :o) LOL.
Ok, get back to me later.

yep knee is doin pretty good
dunno bout bein all healthy though, am still on vaca all next week
Been workin on front garden so that has kept some calories down

Of course I am still here silly.. Been doing good, just hung out on vacation. I think knee is pretty well ok.. about 90%.. maybe best it will get now I dunno.. But I dont limp when I walk an just swear once in a while getting out of car, specailly when I cant open door all the way..lol
But I really do need to get out there an walk.. Have not been going, I am on 2 weeks vaca starting monday.no plans for that either.. Dunno how I will spend it.. Oh well time off is good..
I read somewhere that people who take at least a couple weeks vacation a year are less likely to bring a gun to work.. DOH! hahahaha well that clears me anyway because I dont even own one.. I wont even shoot those friggin squirrels that keep getting into the bird feeders, that is my latest project, making bird feeders squirrel proof, lol well least it keeps me occupied.. And because I dont really do the kneeling thing or hehehe CANT.. I bought this at walmart so will spend time weeding the front since I have not been able to do it all spring and summer..

Hopes u have fun at wedding.. Will definately see u when u get back, stay safe, see u later!

Am getting better for sure.. Going to gain some pounds for my B day tonight .. going to Chowder Pot in Hartford..
That should make me gain a few pounds HEHEH
Should start walking for sure though.. maybe start next week..
Talk to u soon

the guy u paid 30 bucks for tech support.. my reset button is unplugging it..And plugging it back in.
Not taking anti inflammatory any more.. one just knocked me on my ass.. felt like crap all day, hardly could get up. Advil/motrin is it now.. It is hard to believe I took 2 a day for a month..

yep right here.. I am feeling even better.. knee is feeling good.. I had to stop taking anti inflammatory as it stopped working because it didnt need to and was making me feel like crap, as I read my last comment to you, this is what was happening.. I climbed out of fog by not taking it.. inflammation has not come back.. knee has a bit of tinge to it but am sure that is reaction of no anti inflammatory, and not even ibruprofin.. Depending on how Monday goes at work I might get out there again and just walk around the block and see how that goes.. can do the stores pretty good.. is nice to have a cart to lean on it really does help.. but will see how around the block feels on Monday.. Still afraid to injure it again .. but I think that slight injury gave Lyme a place to attack.. I am still taking antibiotics.. so am sure it is killing the lyme bacteria or has already killed it.. So i dont think a re injury will bring on all that pain, damn I hope not.. is something I will never forget.. I still find stairs troublesome.. I tried taking one stair going down without one at a time.. umm wont be doing that again soon.. Walking up I can sorta walk stairs normal.. going down you almost bend your knee totally.. going up stairs u can kinda leave it rigid.. So in due time I will be doing stairs again.. Geese what a major event.. and like u say its auto immune and that built up stress of my mom and then moving into a new place with bad economy.. all that stress musta brought it on.. plus that slight injury in my knee the day I walked in the rain, gave the bacteria a place to attack.. my theory anyways.. So will see what Monday brings.
