[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 211423, member: 1991"] G'day folks. Talking of chronic pain - I probably don't have to tell you that the best thing you can do is hit it hard with a stronger dose of pain killers and then maintain with a lower dose. Overall you end up taking less and your pain should be better controlled. If you wait until the pain is tapping you on the shoulder, you often end up in more pain even though you take more painkillers. TM, I hope you can manage to get back to sleep. Linda, the picture of kt & wm sounds lovely. Do you have photos of them to help? Sometimes the easiest time to create, is the middle of the night. Sharon/LDM, thanks for the info on finning. It sounds interesting - I'll share that with easy child, she's always looking for different ways to exercise in the water. I might even try it myself once I get back into the water at the beach. It's an estuary beach, it's easy to get past the breaker line into calmer water and still not be out of my depth. Rabbit, I hope Bob gets a clean bill of health from the vet. Maybe you can link Bob into going back to school somehow? There can be something relaxing about doing your homework with your pet cat curled up beside you. I'm having busy days at the moment, with the wedding coming up and all. Today it was a later start but we still had to leave home by 11.15 am to get mother in law out to the doctor's in time. I told her we were going out and asked her if she wanted to come, so she was lucky to get the doctor's appointment right before difficult child 3's. The doctor did the necessary Health care Plan for difficult child 3 so we can get the free psychology sessions but also wanted bloods done on him. difficult child 3 was NOT happy about this but accepted it, as long as I got emla cream. We buy it over the counter now, so I got some for him and calculated the best time to put it on him. I had X-rays and ultrasound to have done, so I organised the cream so we could get difficult child 3's blood draw done afterwards, giving the cream time to numb his elbow crease. He had wanted more time to get used to the idea but we explained to him that a week of getting anxious about it was not good, it was much better to have it over with. As it turned out, the blood draw went off well (although he was still stressing a lot). The technician got it first go and although she was a bit testy at first, seemed to drop the attitude quickly and this helped also. By then my results were almost ready, so we headed back to the shops (where I'd left mother in law) and sent difficult child 3 to get a haircut (needed for the wedding). By this time I was running out of time to shop so I grabbed the bare essentials, managed to have a quick word to easy child 2/difficult child 2 about HER wedding plans in the meantime, and then we headed off to arrive at difficult child 3's drama class just in time. A busy day. Home late, just in time to turn around and begin dinner, I still need to make another litre of bearnaise sauce before bedtime tonight and I'm rapidly running out of time. Tomorrow is house cleaning morning (and cooking) then by mid afternoon difficult child 3 & I head back to the city to see the psychologist. We'll meet up with husband and come home together, then we've got dinner with difficult child 1 & girlfriend before we go down for her dress fitting. Phew! Hopefully we don't have to go anywhere or do anything on Friday. But then again, easy child 2/difficult child 2 is wanting to check out more wedding places, it seems we could do even better but we HAVE to know within a week. Never a dull moment, as I keep saying... Enjoy your - what day is it today? Wednesday? Marg [/QUOTE]
