I can safely drive again........that spells freedom to me. I hate it when I can not just be able to get up and go, even if I really have no plans on going to go anywhere. Just the concept and the ability to leave gives me such a sense of Freedom that I value so much. Still on pain meds but feel like I am well until they wear off and the pain and stiffness start to return. I am just thankful that that time of "discomfort" is slowly starting to stretch out to longer intravals between episodes. I still use my left leg as a visual aid if I start doing too much since it will start swelling again when I do too much. I am in a hurry to be completely well again since I dislike the restraints that illness can put on you. I am driving my kids crazy but they gang up on me when I overdo so .......I raised them to care so I can not complain since I would do the same thing to them. Fairs fair! This illness has opened my eyes to a whole slew of things that I took for granted before and now I look upon some of the most simplest movements and abilities as blessings. My grandson, Alex, is starting to stand in his crib and letting go of the crib rail.......soon he will be walking and my daughter, Jessie, will learn just how easy life was before they walk......lol. He is such a curious child too! I predict that he will be into everything. I will be seeing my other grandchildren tomorrow ...I guess that is really today, and I can hardly wait. I love that they come running up for hugs and kisses when I get there. I have waited a long time for grandchildren and now I seem to start to have an abundance of them......but there is always room for one more or even two or three or four. I love children so who is counting.......not me!

thanks for the comments on the paw print tattoos i love them too and they were my husbands first tattoos his given! (2 years ago).. and the advice on the headache.. i am glad you are able to drive again.. my mom is still not able to, and i doubt they will release her to today.. we find out the results from MRI today for her knee.. i just wrote about it on my blog.. so yeah no bother recapping, but i'm sure she can relate to what you are and have been going through in some levels.. anyways, i'm exhausted so i'll leave for now.. thanks again..
I'm so glad you're feeling better. I would have commented earlier, but I've been having a hell of a time with the 'Submit' button here for some reason. Come to find out, I needed a Firefox update...who'dathunkit? lol
Anyway, yes...I can sense the relief in your post from previous ones and am really happy you finally got taken care of. I can only hope my kids take as good of care of me, as yours have you.
Enjoy the grandbabies!!!
awww.... how cute are you talking about your grandkids...
glad you are getting better... and i'm like you when I'm sick and hurting... I loved when my kids started walking... yes it will be much different for your daughter... wait until he no longer wants to ride in the grocery cart and the supermarket (that's where I am now) LOL... most days it fun, unless we are in a hurry then not so much!
ryc: thanks... ilt really does piss me off this person would do this and ruin our lives over what? that's what I don't understand... I keep asking myself, this woman has got to be pretty special for him to throw is family, me and our boyz away for... because that's what I feel he has done, sure he still loves them, in some way... and the thing that's recently "hit" me is the rest of the family... his family... we've all become closer throu all this... I KNOW it will get better and I will be OK but it's the getting throu it part that is just so... disapointing, but anyway thanks for all your kind and supportive words
ttfn...
Good to make your aquaintance. I would have gotten back earlier, but I have been a lil busy.( That's been my excuse for badblogging for about three months, so don't feel left out) Anyway, pain is huge( bad back) and yes they consider everyone to be be drugseeking these days.
Driving is even bigger. I just got my license back after 4+ years. Amazing how many people take it for granted.

Glad that your pain is more controled now and that you are not suffering like you were. I will be glad when I hear that the pain has all went away and you are really back to your old self once again. I assume that you seen your three grandbabies today and got your hugs and kisses from the two oldest ones. I doubt that your youngest has learned to hug and kiss yet.LOL I am sure it won't be long before he learns though.
I hear that James is in CA but I don't know where in CA and soon after he gets back home then he is going to be shipped overseas. I believe that she said that he was going to be out here for at least 4 weeks or more.
At least when they are walking they miss more than when they are crawling. Well at least my three daughters did.LOL
Hi Janice, thanks for taking a peak at my blog. I remember how I hurt inside when my daughter had her vaccinations. She's almost 12 now, and just 2 months ago got her first shots since she was 4. Oh! She was a crazed tween! She even tried to take the syringe out of the doctor's hand! So, I had to restrain her so that she could get two vaccinations. She's taller than I am now, and strong, so it was a challenge...Friday is vaccination day #2, and two months after that is vaccination day #3. Hubby goes with her this time. We'll see who'll go next time. The Gardisil vaccine is so important for our girls to eliminate the risk of 4 types of cervical cancer from HPV. It's a necessary evil...but it still hurts your heart to see your baby go through that!
