heard from Krissi

[joy]

hello everyone. i have been so busy & my mind &doing things that are unusual for me, like having people in my home, aack, that i have let some of my corresponding go by the way side.


I have heard from Krissi though and she is not back up to speed just yet. She has improved since I last heard but not where she needs to be just yet. I'm hoping she will be back online with us soon tho'.

Her husband had to return to the ER once also!!{{{HUGS for KRISSI}}}

Krissi is still having a bad time of it, even after all this time. She has had an infection and apparently I am not the only one that can misread a label on a bottle of medicine. Krissi has not been taking the full amount that was prescribed as I understand it and therefore her medicine has not done the job of keeping her infection under control. It has been quite a time of it for her, poor girl. I hope now that she is taking the full dose that she will soon be back to feeling normal. No wonder she can't sit at computer with an infection going on and no control of it.

It's seems forever since she posted almost daily & I for one really miss her.

(((hugs Krissi)))) and sure hope you improve soon & can rejoin BT.

am so glad to be on it feels like forever I still have laundry screaming at me to wash and fold and put away a craft room that says heres the boxes organize me and finally I am getting caught up here on the net

The meds are finally working but my tail bone is bugging me but thats bone on bone a chiropractor thing which I don't trust them the last one made me watch a movie on having babies before he treated me I mean really

The hubby is back at work it feels weird for so long it was me and him just couch potatos as there was nothing we could do so I am able to start the norm again I still have tummy pain so I am not going to rush into anything as my kidneys and my insides are still healing and I am taking meds as prescribed so I see the Dr on the 7th and she will make sure things are going ok with me that the kidneys are ok if not Joy knows how to reach me and I will let her know

For now I am glad to be back an posting things I have lots to do now that the new president is in the white house and new senators etc... and get letters out to them to get help victims need despreatly who knows maybe he will beat me to it at the rate he is going but I promised I would do this and I will its just taking me sometime

You don't know how much I have missed you all I was so lost not talking to no one but the hubby the good news is we take walks at the mall of america every sat so its quality time for us and I am enjoying that

We have found out I also have plaque on my main artery when we found the kidney infection so I must also treat myself as a heart paitent and since I have to cook well for him I am doing that for me too

I now drink soy milk chocolate of course to help with the hotflashes and vitamen e and some new med too it seems to lower them an its great
I was also down with a nasty cold so its been one thing after another for me
and I just want to get better heal and continue to do what I was before all this

I have to say all the cleaning i did before surgery didn't matter at all so don't know why I went out of my way as it just got messed up anyway

I may be off and on for a week just to get caught up in the house dept and have to get my desk cleaned I was on the couch so long the mail just got tossed and well so did everything else

otherwise I am here and back I have missed you all and I thank you for all your kind words I thank Joy for keeping you posted while I was away she was a great help to me as it was to hard to sit to write on the sight eaiser to email her quick to get the word of what's up to her short an sweet

So my love Hugs and Thanks to all glad to be a part of a family that cares Hugs Krissi *cg09

Hi Krissi, it is just great to see you posting yourself girl. I have been off line more than usual with picky thigs going on, I think now maybe most of my troubles with nerve pain in my mouth this time is from having a lose crown. But that's just too bad, it will be February 4th before they can get to me anyway. So much for that, huh.

We are in the midst of an ice storm now as well. It is still coming down & you can open the door & hear limbs breaking everywhere in the neighborhood. And see the limbs lying all around in the yards, ours included.

Therew will be some cleaning up to be done when the weather starts to cooperate I can tell you.

Well it is good that you are cooking for the two if you now Krissi. At your young age, I can't stress just how important that you continue on in this line of good eating for yourself.

I am so please to picture you and your husband taking the walks in the Mall as well. I am tickled that I myself have seen that mall. It must take a LOIT to impress me as it just seemed like a big mall, LOL. I was so glad to get to see it though when I went to the Mayo Clinic.

Well Krissi you just keep us updated on how things are going. Just don't overdo as you have had a time of it already and I know it is past time for things to start running smoothlyu for you in this lifetime.

take care.

Krissi,
I am so happy that you are back, I have really missed you! I was off line for awhile with fevers, cough and joint pain. I got started on a new med for my autoimmune disorder Plaquinil. I hope it works soon as my joints are ready for a break.

It is nice to hear that you and hubby are walking. I used to go to mall of america, shortly before Christmas I could get almost all of my shopping done in one week end but that was in the past I would now need a wheel chair to get around in that big place.

I started drinking soy milk,3/4 milk and 1/4 chocolate soy milk. I am hoping it is doing my body good! I desperatly need to loose some weight as the steroids playeed a big number on me. We are both trying to eat healthier, that makes it easier for me to have him work at it with me!

I am soo very glad that you are back, please take it easy. It is so easy to over do it when there are things that need to be done around the house but nothing is going any where!

Lots and lots of hugs, Laurie

Krissi,welcome back & hope the doc gives you a clean bill of health/healing.

(((((hugs)))))

[Kashis]

Hi all well I am somewhat back I thought I could do it all again but my body is going through major changes since the surgery that were unexpected as the uncontrolable sweating and uncomfortable hot flashes and so much fatigue I am working on this with the dr though due to the fact me and hormones don't get along well I am kinda on my own with this one the good news is no migraines for 2 months so I went from 14 to none so its awesome and so far the surgery was a sucess I have just started the irratibility and frustration and many mood swings for no reason so I have alot going on trying to figure out who this new person is inside me so to say once I get this under control I know I will be back with more things to say and much more information I miss you all I get so lonley its just me here I so look forward to the weekend walks though I think I know every free sample place there now LOL we call it our lunch date too LOL

am now at risk for heart trouble I have started eating better and exercising with my exercise ball as best I can today I finally had ambition to cook dinner again I am very cautious when cooking now by looking at labels and portions and I think I am going to start floating with all the water I drink LOL

I may not be on all the time yet but soon I promise when this is more normal to me there will be a new me Hugs Krissi

[Kashis]

PS
Joy is stuck in that ice storm and has just got her electricity back so she has alot of catching up to do and says she misses us and will be back soon Hugs Krissi

[Buttons2]

Krissi, why not ask your doctor about using an herbal hormone? I've used Estroven on & off for years. I refused to take hormone pills. Had a very early menopause .....

good to have you back. Good luck with the new style of "heart healthy" cooking!

((((hugs))))

[Kashis]

Things got crazy around here I dont' want to say I am back yet slow but sure still I was put on effexor a small dose was working great then stopped so we upped it next you know 3 weeks in I was sleeping 19 hours a day and it was very hard to wake me so now we have been switching them to at night we will see what happens I was going to bed at 5pm and not waking till noon then back to sleep after meds at 3 up at 5 for dinner an back to sleep again till the next day

I wasn't depressed just totally like under anestesia and couldn't come out of it so its been very scarry and its a catch 22 as it helps menopause but this is nuts

so if this night time don't change then it will be hormone cream trial as I have such problems with hormones were just afraid and on top of that afraid of the migraines coming back its been 3 months and I was in er 2 days ago for a shot but its awesome from 14 a month to 1 in 3 I can handle that

I have been so far behind in my groups and my pages and here but I have to find out who this new me is I am so confused sometimes everything is different to me now and I just don't know why it was just a hysterectomy a surgery but the after effects aren't like any other I want to look on the forum for a menopause place if you find one let me know as I am slow these days

I still care about all and stopping in home terrorism this hasn't stopped I want to get letters put in the mail I just don't know who I am at this moment but will soon be back as Krissi just a new and improved one I thank you all for sticking with me showing you care as I haven't had contact with the outside world due to sleeping 3 weeks of my life away so things are weird to me

The hubby went in for cardio check up and one of the arterys may not be working as it should chest pains increasing again so things aren't all good in that dept either

I did try to quit smoking again but until he smokes outside again instead of the bathroom I just am having a hard time I smoke less but want to smoke none at all so this is on hold once again till I can get this all sorted out

so now that I updated all I am going to sign off its 1230 and I started at 10 and still didn't get to my page so I am trying to set goals again for me to get on the comp get things done I got new curtains from my mother in law I just can't wait to see up so just little at a time for me for now

wow all this net time I think I can sleep without a sleeping pill YAH ME I am getting sleepy real sleepy Hugs Krissi

[tic chick]

(((((((HUGS)))))KRISSI!

yes, you certainly DO have to find out who this new krissi is.

surgery, taking care of a sick hubby and finding time for yourself is very hard to juggle.

of course we are sticking with you! we are your friends and we believe in the cause you are fighting for.

take your time, krissi. we care about you and want the very best for you, whatever that may be!

take care of yourself and big hugs to you, krissi,

[Buttons2]

Good for you Krissi,it's nice to hear some positive news! Take care (((hugs)))

[Kashis]

Hi all if you suffer from headaches or migraines I put alot of info in that forum 2 pages to be exact I don't know if it was appreciated but i know when I suffered so bad all I wanted was answers so thats what I did for that forum found answers an shared if anyone wants to check it out

Well my new delema mom is asking again if she can come up I am having a hard time of figuring out what to say I should be able to say no after how bad she hurts me I should go back and read my posts as a reminder of how bad she treats me I am just a good hearted person and just been hurt so much I can't hurt anyone even if they hurt me why is this?

I want to tell her the truth an just don't know how I thought about going there for a few days but thats only going to cause misery I know this so what should I do any answers for me would be great I just can't be mean about it I have had enough of that in my life Why should I care for someone who treats me so bad to this day still I am just stuck any advice would be great HELP

Well I must clean that craft room of mine it has become a storage room I got new curtains from my mother in law still not up 2 months gone by I can't do it myself and there swags so the hubby won't help so I am waiting on help this stinks totally

March 27 I will start chantix again since the hubby can smoke outside as its getting warmer and will quit april 1st and thats no april fools I won't stop till I quit totally so now I have stopped by I must leave and go off to do things that must get done all my love and hugs to my surrogate family Krissi

[tic chick]

(((((HUGS)))))krissi,

i'm glad you're feeling good enough to start doing little things around the house.

krissi, you are a wonderfully giving person and i think people like that tend to be happier.

but, you have to set boundaries with your mom. if it helps to go back and read how miserable it was the last time she visited, do it!.

when she phones you and asks if she can visit, just say, "i''m sorry, mom, this is a really bad time to visit right now."

if she asks why, repeat, "it's just a really bad time to vist, mom."

continue repeating that line until she gets the hint.

if she gets nasty, say, "mom, i can't listen to you when you're not respecting me. i need to go. perhaps we can talk when you feel better. goodbye." hang up the phone, gently.

you have the right to limit visits from people who are nasty to you, who do not treat you as a human being with feelings. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT!

this goes for anybody else, also, from your hubby to your children. the simpler you keep your responses to their outrageous behavior, the better you will feel. boundaries need to be set to protect yourself and to tell other people what kind of behavior you will not accept!

i know it is hard to set boundaries. you feel selfish and not deserving of good treatment. that's because people have constantly treated you badly.

the first few times you say things to set boundaries will feel awkward. just keep doing it. even practice in the mirror beforehand.

krissi, we all have one life to live. we should be able to live it in peace and happiness :).

take care of yourself,*smallheart
jeannie

[Buttons2]

Krissi,to answer your question of why.....it's simply because she is your mother. Good or bad the only one you have. However,that doesn't mean you should let her come visit!

I think Jeannie had excellent advice. You can always leave it open for a possible visit in the future. You have enough on your plate right?

((((hugs)))) and good to see you back!

[joy]

krissi it is good to see you posting. I am on a lot seldom than I use to be but it can't be helped. There is just too much working against me most days now. But I do enjoy popping in when I feel up to it and seeing you've been here makes it all so worthwhile just trying.

[Kashis]

Thanks Jeannie that really made alot of sence right now I have just avoided the subject with her but something inside me just wants me to be honest with her and remind her how she was to take care of me and all she did was put me down and hurt me where other family members had to take care of me anyway she needs to be put in her place

I guess what I am afraid of is concequences as always I guess inside I still have a fear of her I never put to rest as she just won't allow that to happen but I need to eventually be honest with her and tell her as it is and the truth be out and told I shouldn't fear this woman still at this age its not right and I think its more fear of her blood pressure and her age I am so stuck on this one but I know you will all be here for me no matter what but as of right now I am going to use jeannie's advice until I can resolve my issues or my Krissues LOl Hugs Krissi

[Kashis]

I have just been emotionally abused on a fourm I feel I went to the migrane and headache fourm and tried real hard to get out helpful information and there is a guy on there Barry and all he can do is rip me apart and put me down so I have decided not to help there its ridiculious he is just a jerk and I don't deserve emotional abuse for trying to help

I had to vent but if you go to the headaches catagorie you will see what I mean I can't even post without this guy critizing me I finally did a post saying thanks to him I can see I am not wanted here and the jerk is saying I quoted things or said things and you can see on my posts the web pages they came from I mean really

I am hurt as this sight is dear to me you all know that if I can help I will do my best I know I shouldn't let it get to me but you know me I have been emotionally abused so many times I stand up for myself now I can't let him get the best of me but I am staying away from that group for a bit HOW RUDE some people can be its like he is a control freak Hugs Krissi

[Kashis]
