Awe thank you so much Maria! Used to teach skiing for 18 years in the winters, as well very athletic all my life, think that is the only thing saving me now health wise...have a high thyroid ob the bright side can eat pretty much whatever I want doc said as blood work is all good..then I asked, like deserts, you know the buttery sugary ones then she said don't go overboard lol! Yes, love to cook! Might be my favorite hobby now in fact lol! Just have to pace myself though, like make a pie crust 1 day, then the filling the next then on day 3 it goes to the oven, but so worth it

Your kitty is so fluffy and pretty, she does not look a day of 19!!

And yes, chicken is the main reason Pepsidoodles sits by the oven, she knows when it is ready and comes to get me, mamama it's done hurry, get it out now, lol, if she could talk I would be very afraid what she might have to say lol!

The pic at the beach was taken on the 12 th of this month, the paralysis was coming and going in different parts, right after that pic, whole left leg numb to toes and hobbled to a long and enjoyed the view,,,,such a pretty beach! A friend drove up for the day and said get myself together we are going to the beach, she live in Santa Clara almost 2 hrs south of me.

Not sure if I have email on here, will look, but here is my email bettyjhaley@hotmail.com

Your pic is lovely, you are a beautiful woman yourself!

So nice to meet you!

Exhausted and it is only Tuesday!

Got a tone of cortisone injections into the spasms, what a relief, then had ribs moved back into place!

Got a referral to UCSF rushed through insurance thanks to my awesome GP! She is truly 1 in a million, so lucky to have her as my GP! She freaked when she read the surgery order and got on the phone with my insurance to get the referral rushed through, am blessed to have her

Got insurance straightened out, was on wrong plan since the 1 st of the year, and I never would of known had a friend not told me!

And trying a new pain med with a histamine, lowest dose dilaudid so far so good, but about knocks me out, but is keeping the edge off the pain for sure...but the injections into the spasms helped the most!

More, but so far good getting it done! And most of the numbness has subsided today and tonight, think because of the cortisone injections, could of taken the swelling away from the nerves?? Don't know but can almost feel all teeth again, left leg still half numb, but not as bad as it was.

And for anyone with back problems I highly recommend looking into OMM specialist, mine has saved me from so much pain! Wish I knew more about that specialty many years ago, but glad now!

Will let you know what I find out from new doc, praying it is better than what is being offered

So glad you got the insurance stuff straightened out and your wonderful GP got a rush referral for you to specialist at UCSF!!! Also glad to read that you got some relief re pain and symptoms caused by whatever is going on..

I had a busy day yesterday or at least beginning as I took my Mitsubishi Montero Limited in for bumper repair at body shop and went to car rental place. They didn't reserve the vehicle I asked for (type) so all that were left were a few big sedans which I don't feel comfortable driving, a bunch of small little bucket seaters that would kill my back and then a Mercedes C250 and that's what I took even though it's much more $ than I was planning on spending. Sure is a dream to drive though after my Mitsu! So smooth and visibility is great though I don't like being so low .. that feels really weird (I sit up high in the Mitsu).

I posted on FB about my dog's childhood mini schnau buddy that was being treated for the same condition as Lola (my dog) which is congestive heart failure... he started treatment a month after Lola and was on the same drugs as she is now and he was a year younger than her. He was laid to rest 1/25/14 and I mean I cried and cried ... his owner is devastated as any good loving pet owner would be. I know this is my dogs fate as well so of course it hit even harder.

Well I slept quite a bit yesterday so today if my feet are permitting (still flared up with the condition I have bilat) I will try to get something done. Bare minimum I have to take Alaska for her fluids at the Vet's and I'm interested to see if she meows less riding in the Mercedes re the smoother ride vs. the Mitsu.

Ok take care and please keep us updated on what's the haps with your referral!

BTW what's an OMM?
