I'm sorry to hear your sadness...But I'm convinced that after the valley's there is a peak. I'll be praying for your peak will be coming soon....

Glad to hear from you Luna~

And I'm glad that Bob will be able to come home soon! I'll continue to keep you two in my prayers and wish you the best in the upcoming days ahead!

Well, of all times to be without your computer .... when it rains it pours, I guess. Any chance of buying a used one? Sometimes you can get a really good deal cheaper than trying to fix an old one.

Take care of yourself, Kathy. There's only so much you can do for someone else. You must do for yourself. I worry about you and hope things will be going much smoother soon.

Hope Bob behaves and continues to improve. As Mike Myers says ..... "Oh, behave!" LOL ~hugs ~ tenderlee

WHere do work ?? It's 50 degrees ? I'll fill in for you during a hot flash ! LOL

I guess the saying is right - when it rains , it pours.
BUT -- all that rain guarantees sunshine in the future.
Give Bob a gentle bop on the head for me and tell him NOT TO BE A TYPICAL MAN ... and do what the wife and doc says .
LOL

You are both in my thoughts .... ((((( HUGS ))))))

Kathy, I am so glad you posted an update. I've been anxious to hear about Bob and couldn't email you with the fool computer problems. I'm so sorry you are being hit from every direction with stuff. And honestly don't know how you've kept your sanity. Plus stress is the worst thing in the world for Fibro, so am sure its kicking your butt on top of everything else. Wish you could work somewhere else, that place sounds awful.

Please try to take of yourself, lots of prayers coming.
Meanwhile, sit back and have a Caffe Mocha Vodka Valium Latte. That'll make you feel better fast. LOL.

hugs and hope you get some good stuff soon,
Karen

Have you tried the peel and stick pain patches that heat up? If your pain is localized you could keep that area warm. I use to wear one on my lower back and would be sweating in that area. They are thermal and heat up when you open the pouch and expose them to air. If your pain is in your intire body you could try a heating pad in your office chair.

toomuchglass, I am praying for hot flashes to start! lol! They sure would come in handy around here. In fact, some of the women who will complain they are hot here at work are probably having them.

Susie, I have gloves with the fingers cut out and a big shawl at work that I wear. I keep debating whether I should bring a hat to wear too. I just feel stupid wearing things that normal people would wear outside on a 50 degree day. I just might have to whip out the Americans with Disabilities Act card on them (my employer) again. If I used those patches, I'd plaster them all over my body. he-he Wouldn't that be a sight?

Bob is at home, hopefully resting quietly. I am taking him out to eat tonight at our favorite Chinese restaurant.

Thank you all for the words of encouragement and prayers. Sometimes I get too freaked out and act like a raving lunatic. lol! I guess that's why a friend refers to me as Luna(cy) instead of just Luna.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Kathy
