It does make it tougher, that's true. ;)

[Studeclunker]

Some years back, when I was attending Redeemer in Huntington Beach, Pastor Rosenbladt gave us a report on a conferrence and debate he had attended.
The subject of the conferrence I've forgotten. I think it might have had to do with the Creeds and appologetics, but sorry, I just don't remember.
The Debate was between Dr. Rosenbladt and a Roman Catholic Bishop. What they were debating was the Reformation and wheather Luther was right. When Dr. Rosenbladt brought up the Apostle Paul's writings over and over again the Bishop finally lost his temper and said, 'Enough already with the Pauline writings! Everyone knows that Paul was the first Lutheran!' Or something to that effect. Pastor Rosenbladt played the pertinent sections of the debate including this comment. One could hear the celing fall in on the tape and of course, it brought the house down with us as well.


Hey! I just noticed something!:eek: My reps have doubled. Must have done something right lately. Wish I could remember. But for the life of me I've no idea what it was.:blush:

Ok, I'm feeling a bit guilty about my haughtiness right now. (I can only joke about this for long :) ).

Yes, I am indeed a sinner, and need to be reminded that my Savior came for me, too. :) (there, I feel better now)

I have to see my rhuematologist.

I saw a different doctor today because mine moved to seattle.

I feel stupid cause I should have known this gal wouldn't give me the shot.
I have a fever, and rib pain, and stomach pain, and I haven't slept for 3 days becuase my hip hurts so much I can't lay down, so I've been sitting in a chair.

This doctor said "well, you have fibro"......really? I do....well, my goodness, no wonder I feel like **** (crud)! That was my appointment...plus more.....but I think I've told enough. :cry:

[LilLamb219]

I'm sorry :(

It helps to vent. And that's why we're here, to help each other however we can.

Although sometimes we can't see it, the Lord is indeed in control. We pray for His healing and guidance. :groupray:

Thanks Rev....that's the hard part in this. They tell me there is no healing. That it's just a terrible disease. I'm only 44, and it scares me sometimes. How bad will this get? I don't sound too trusting tonight, like I'm supposed to. :sigh:

africam.com is so fun! this morning i got to watch gazelles eating grass and a zebra sleeping, lol

[Studeclunker]

Yes, Seajoy, you're right. There are people who have suffered worse afflictions than you. The problem with your similie is that if you take it to it's furthest definition, you become buddist.:scratch: Or possibly Hindu (Karma, baaaad karma:eek: ).

If you had such a bad session with the doctor, then I would say that she is incompetant. She has the responsiblity to read your file before going in to see you. It's part of taking over a patient. Had your previous doctor been giving you cortizone shots, it's now her responsibility to continue the same treatment. Instead she's one of those sadistic jerks that refuse the proper treatment for pain therapy. I'd love to go in there and slap that bi... um, broad silly.

Now it's my turn to say 'sorry'.:sorry: Reading that pastor's piffle just has me seeing red.

What I was getting to, is the same as Ctay and 'Porter. If you can't tell us, who can you? You are in my (for what they're worth) prayers every night. I continue to place you before the Throne of Mercy. I can't guarantee the veracity of my prayer life as I'm certainly the least of his children.

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, 'sometimes it just stinks to be that block of marble when the sculptor keeps wailing on it.' Hang in there Luv.:hug: We're with ya!:groupray:

[seajoy]

Stude, you make me smile. :) (but are you really calling me buddist? :scratch: )

I'm never going back to this doctor. She's retiring in a month.

Thanks for your prayers, I pray for you as well. God hears all our prayers...you should not knock yourself down so. :(

Anyway, thanks for the kind words for this marblehead! :D

[WildStrawberry]

You're right SeaJoy, things suck right now. But, you can always come here and vent. I have an open shoulder for you anytime you need it.

You have rights as a patient. You have the right to proper pain management. If I were you, I would call your rhumatologists office tomorrow as soon as they open and tell them "I am in so much pain I can NOT sleep. PLEASE do you have an emergency appointment for me? I am in AGONY." Let them know how badly you hurt. Do NOT take no for an answer. If the desk clerk won't/can't schedule you, ask to speak to a nurse. The desk people can only do what they're trained to do. (I know, I used to be one of 'em.) The nurses can make the call to get you in sooner. Emergency appointments are kept for just that purpose. Emergencies. (Also, if you are in pain on a scale to 1-10 and your pain is an 11...GO TO THE ER! They WILL help you!)

When I was bleeding heavily back in '05 and had a blood clot form in my left leg and we found that my hemoglobin was at a 4 (the lowest you should ever be is a 12. A 3 is "near death" to put it as the ER doc told me.) I called my GYN's office for the first time. They have the rule that new patients can only be scheduled 4 months in advance. Meaning, I called them in September and the first I could have gotten in as a new patent was January. I told the desk person that I'd just had 4 bags of blood the day before and I was still bleeding heavily. I needed to see a GYN NOW! She said "sorry. try someone else." And hung up. I cried and cried and then I bucked up, called back to the office and said "I want to speak to a nurse. NOW." I was, in effect, a Bi...uh what 'Clunker almost said. :D I got a nurse AND an appointment an hour later.

Later, when I'd told my GYN what actually happened (after many tests and then almost dying in the ER because I bled out the day before my surgery.) with the desk clerk, she told me that I'd have been terminal if I'd have waited 'till January. That's how fast growing my cancer was.

The moral of my story is, don't wait. Take action. MAKE them understand that you need HELP and you need it NOW. It isn't fair to you to make you be in pain.

It's hard to do, especially if you're like me and not really one that gets angry and B***** in situations. Or if you're like me and are a soft touch. But you CAN do it! Heck, if *I* can do it, ANYONE can do it!

Many prayers!

Kae

[seajoy]

Wow Kae, Thanks for your post :hug: . You are a doll!

Funny thing is, I worked in an ER for 7 years. But when you are the patient, and the one in pain, sticking up for yourself is really hard. I know all the right stuff to say and do, but I couldn't do it...couldn't think it through. I could tell this gal just wanted to get rid of me...as I said she's retiring in one month.

I called my rheumatologist's office when I got home, but it was too late to schedule anything. I'm calling first thing tomorrow. His nurse said he will try a cortizone shot, at least.

Kae, I'm glad you got help, and are still with us! Thanks for your prayers, and I continue to pray for you, too!

[QuiltAngel]

seajoy, I am sorry you had such a horrible appointment. We are here for you to cry on our shoulders and we shall pray for you.

You guys are tops on my list!

[Studeclunker]

You know, I have a great deal of respect for ER personnel. They often have to take up the slack for the callous and incompetent medical staff that take up space out there. I remember once when the pain from my severed nerves (in my elbows) got to be too much and my wife took me to the emergency room. I couldn't allow anything to touch me from the elbows down. The ER personnel were kind and understanding. They even allowed me to stand and pace in the hall, as it made it easier to bear the pain. The doctor that finally saw me, sent me home with a large bottle of pain killers that I was able to streach for over a week. It took my wife having to change the bed clothes because of my cold sweats from the pain before she took me in, though. My HMO refused at first to cover the ER visit. Would you believe it? They said that my regular doctor had determined it was unnessary.:eek: I arranged payments with the hospital and the doctor there called me, as a follow up. He then called my doctor and informed him that malpractice was something that even HMO doctors can be charged with. They paid the ER bill.

[seajoy]

Good for you Stude! Glad you got the help you needed, but what a lot to go through.

Well, goodnight folks.......See ya soon!

[DaRev]

My sweety must have turned in early... earlier than usual anyway.

So I guess I'm off to snorzville. :sleep:

I don't know how the council meeting went tuesday night yet. Probably find out something by sunday anyway we got a congregational meeting right after the service Sunday. I'm not to worried, I got 2 other church's I can go to and know both pastors and I like both of them.

[seajoy]

Well, my goodness........Our Lord heard the prayers of my friends here last night. I was able to sleep in bed for 5 whole hours! :clap: The pain is considerably lessened today in my hip. I may not need to call my rheumy doc after all.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers. I feel very refreshed this morning!

Hooray!!

I'd still call anyway. Maybe he can help with something to help when you can't call.

A friend of mine who also has fibro, took a sleep study. They recommended rohypnal which she opted not to take but the reason they recommended it was for her to sleep deeper.

She and another lady on the same list (who is also a fibro sufferer) both have taken mucinex and both swear that it helps tremendously. There's also a pressure point massage technique book one of them talks about. I'll get the name of it and get back to you.

Kae

[seajoy]

Kae,

I did call, and the earliest I can get in is May 3rd! No matter how much in pain I am, they said I'll have to wait. The pain is still bothersome, but I'm grateful to God for the rest I got last night.

Adding drugs to my collection is not a good idea. I already am on several for other things. But I would be interested in the pressure point book. That is something I've been wondering about anyway.

Thanks for your info. I think I'm going to go to the pool/hot tub at the local hotel today. Can't hurt, right?

Later,
seajoy

[WildStrawberry]

Mmmm a hot tub sounds lovely right now. So does a dip into a pool. :( I wish the hotel near here would let me hang out. :D

Okay, the first book is: The Trigger Point Therapy Book (http://tinyurl.com/yo76qc)

The second one is: Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofacial Pain: A Survival Guide (http://tinyurl.com/2clpks)

My friend sends her best wishes and prayers, SeaJoy!

Kae

[seajoy]

Thanks Kae, I'll look those up!

I have a note from my doctor for therapy swim at the hotel. It costs me $2 each time. I'm at my own pace to do what I want....no trainer or anything :thumbsup:

Thanks Quilty....just got back from the pool. It felt pretty good, too. A chance to stretch...........

I had an interesting thing happen while I was there (now help me out...pastor's wife, if what I said was ok :) ).

I was swimming along happily, all by myself....when this old fellow came in. I was in the pool....he in the hot tub.

When I get tired from swimming and stretching, I float...it's gotten to where I can lay on my back and nearly fall asleep, without moving a muscle. Well, this old fellow was by now out of the hot tub, and sitting there watching me (which I did not notice). From out of the blue, he said "I just marvel at how you can float like that! I just sink like a rock!" "How do you do it?"

I said, "I don't do anything, the water does it all...kind of like believing in God, I guess." Then he said "So you just trust the water can do it's job?" I said "yes, that's it."

Neither one of us said another word. Other folks came in then, and it was time for me to leave. I feel badly that I said "God" instead of "Jesus", but I hope a seed was planted for God to use, if it was needed in the old gent.

Interesting swim.

So, does anyone here knit?

I've been knitting for about a year now and I LOVE it. So relaxing...except when it's not. :D I have a serious yarn habit and can't go by a skein without touching it...petting it...yearning for it.

So, anyone share my love of knitting?

Sorry Kae, not I. Enjoy yourself!

I'm a knitter!! I taught myself how to knit when I was about 12 or 13 :) I used to get books from the library and copy down the patterns by hand on post it notes...but only used a couple to make things.

I have a cute seed stitch baby booty pattern somewhere and I used to make tons of baby booties!! Now I'm mostly into making scarves as I don't have time to sit and do something long or difficult. My daughter and nieces all love the scarves and the yarns these days are so much fun to work with!

Got to go run some braille off today. Got to talk to the Pastor's mother in law. I'm in charge of the braille. She went in sometime yesterday and ran some braille off, numbered some pages that was already taken care of and someone had numbered to many and we had to count them so I don't know if she ran the amount of that number or not. She won't tell me what she's doing. She needs to tell me so I'll know if I get new runners where to start and stuff. She does stuff like this and it feels like she's trying to take over in a way. Her daughter/Pastor's wife started and she ended up doing a lot of it before I got asked to take it over. I got to figure a way to tell her something and not hurt her feelings. I don't mind her helping, she just needs to tell me what she's doing and stuff.

Sorry you are frustrated, ctay.

[LilLamb219]

ctay,

Could you maybe start up a chart to indicate what you've done, how far you've gotten, for BOTH of you to fill out. That way you can introduce it to her as a benefit for both of you instead of just saying she needs to tell you where she's at and how much she's done. You can say it will help her know where you're at as well?

Just a thought.

Hooray for another knitter! :D I wanted to knit so badly but didn't know anyone to teach me. So, I took out a book from the library and didn't look back.

I'm in the middle of my first sock. I'm a little scared to turn the heel even though everyone says that it's really pretty fun. :scratch: I'll get there though.

I'm currently working on a bunny for my God-sister. (My parents are her Godparents. I'm Godmother to her older sister.) Her birthday is next week. And I still have to finish the second half of the body and the arms, stuff it and sew on the eyes and nose.

[ctay]

ctay,

Could you maybe start up a chart to indicate what you've done, how far you've gotten, for BOTH of you to fill out. That way you can introduce it to her as a benefit for both of you instead of just saying she needs to tell you where she's at and how much she's done. You can say it will help her know where you're at as well?

Just a thought.
Thats a good idea.

[ctay]

I tried macrome, can't spell it way back in the 80's when it was real popular. Wasn't real good at it though. Tried knitting, learned one stitch, this was way back in the dark ages, tried quilting, gave up on that, its hard doing it by hand. Tried knitting, gave up on that.

Oh waiting for the granddaughters to get here, this will be the second time the 14 month spends the night, this time 2 nights, this should be fun....

It will be warm enough for camping around here very soon! We bought a tent last summer but didn't get to use it because of a lot of things going on. I never even set it up to make sure everything was there...yikes. We'll be backyard camping before we hit the dunes!

And the things last forever!! You can toss 'em in your dishwasher instead of having to wash 'em regularly too! One of my favorite sites for yarn is knitpicks.com Excellent prices.

Just got a treat in the mail today. My guy bought me a copy of the new Book of Concord! I can't wait to sit and devour it but I've got tons of laundry to do. (I do mine and his.)

Jim, if you like fishing, Lewiston is a place to visit. I understand the fishing on the river is excellent. The lakes (Trinity, and Lewiston) are good for fishing as well.

[ctay]

Alabama has some good fishing holes too. Maybe I should say lakes and rivers.

[ctay]

This is one of the campgrounds in Bankhead Forest here, its on Smith lake, huge lake. Supposed to be the cleanest lake in the state with big bass caught here.

Once my husband and I were conoeing in a pond, and doing some fishing. He always did the paddling.

As we came in to shore, I said "I wish I knew how to paddle...how do you do it?" He then got out of the canoe, and shoved it back out into the pond....and said...."Now paddle!" :eek:

Well, I was blazin' mad, as I didn't know what I was doing at all. So of course, I started yelling....got some old guy fishermen to give me glaring looks, as I scared all their fish away.

I did finally get myself to shore after I was all calmed down. My husband...he's quite a funny fellow...is he not? :doh:

Thanks for all the fishing invites everyone. :) our pics are real nice Ctay.

To tell the truth I haven't been fishing in six years and likely won't go this year either. I did get to fish in Oregon about 6 years ago. I won a sales contest and got a free trip out there. We didn't catch any but we did see some monster salmoon, Even bought some equipment but we din't have the right bait of something. There were all running in the river. We did get down to California and up to see Miunt Helen. Pretty country out there. I love those hills and the winding roads around and through the mountains.

Seajoy your story about peddling was funny. I think your hubby may like to tease you Heh? ;)

If ever a stretch of highway needed to be redone, that's it... especially that interchange with 170. Going eastbound on 40 and getting onto 170 was near impossible, having to get off onto Brentwood and crossing six lanes of traffic in such a short distance. And I was NEVER in the right lane for 170. :doh: Many times I just ended up going down Eager Road to Hanley and getting on 40 West in order to get back to 170. A real mess.

They should. It's a pain in the.............coming up the hill on 40 right by Clayton and Oakland after going underneath the bridge at afternoon rush hour. The sun almost blinds you there. The biggest traffic jams happen there.

I am so glad that drinking wasn't one of the things in my priorities. Really, Revrand!

I picked up a young fellow today and gave him a ride into town. He has a drinking problem and has "been in and out of prison so much, that it's like a second home. ... Since I was eighteen I've spent the majority of my time in and out of Jail and Prison." So sad. Such a nice young man. Such a crying waste.

Finally getting a good rain shower. Its pouring here. Hope it lasts a few days...;) We really need it.

I don't think you can get 'em at Harrods but you should be able to get them in any convenience shop. (Like a Stop and Go or Circle K...someplace like that.)

Possibly you could get them at Marks & Spencer. You have to go there too. Neat place! (I've been to the Canadian one.)

Got a story. Both of my granddaughters and hubby went to church with me yesterday morning. Our youngest son still lives at home. Well on the way home after church the 6 yr old asked me why my youngest doesn't go to church. I told her I don't know, that she'll have to ask him. Then she goes well he needs to go, he needs to get out of the house more and not lay around in front of the tv so much, that it will hurt his eyes. Its not good for him and so on.

We watched "Cinderella Man" last week. This reminds me of when the main character came home and saw his young son playing outside. He asked what his son was doing.

"I'm bein' good, bein' quiet, bein' have." (said long-sufferingly, obviously repeating what his mother had told him to do)

I had to chuckle. "Bein' have" makes SO much sense when you think about it. "You be good. Be quiet. Behave!"

So, Rev, don't worry. We'll be "bein' have" while you're gone.

Hello Ladies.

Does anyone else listen to Radio Disney?

Yesterday evening we heard 2 advertisements discussing sex; one was in defense of homosexuality. :eek:

I thought the first one was a fluke and changed channels, but when the second one came on I listened to it and got more than a little angry. Of course my daughter and I had a discussion about it and I told her if this is what they put on besides music, I won't allow her to listen to it any longer.

She never listens to the station outside of the vehicle and not typically in the evening unless we're traveling, but I have never heard anything like what we heard outside of talk radio. It was bizarre.

I sent an e-mail to their VP of Advertising and Marketing and I'd better get a satisfactory response. I couldn't let it go.

Did that to my daughter, already :doh:

Can I respond, even though I'm not a lady? :scratch:

Disney has been "pro-gay" for years. Now the parks offer "honeymoon packages" to same-sex couples. Sickening! :doh:I remember reading few years ago that the majority of employees at Disney are gay.

No truoble really, I'm just getting bored of school. (Well getting probably isn't the right word. I was never excited about it in the first place really.)

But it's OK, it's better than a public school.

I need to go somewhere and pass out. :sleep:

I have a wee problem and could use a bit of advice. See my friend is a Nazerine and extremely legalistic. She keeps giving me these books asking me to read them. For instance, she gave me Living Beyond The Limits, a devotional by Franklin Graham, and wants me to go through it. Billy and his son, Franklin Graham are fine men. Still, I don't believe what they do. I keep telling her this. Paula gave me one today that had to do with living the sanctified life, or something like that. I can't quite remember the name. She also won't stand even the mildest of profanity, getting really adamantly offended. Now, before anyone starts jumping down my throat, Hell and Damn are the worst words in my public vocabulary. For instance, I jokingly told her that I was Damned to Eh, Oh, Hell. She was offended. Told me that I was 'grieving the Spirit with my unseemly speech.' Another time, she said that they (she and her fiance') might get stuck with a new home they were in the process of buying. I responded, again jokingly, "Oh damn! You'll just have to suffer with the nicest home on this side of the lake!" Again, she was offended.

I've been trying to get out of this house. It's bleeding me white and the driveway is destroying my cars. Yet, she constantly waxes poetic about how beautiful the setting is, the view, the privacy, etc ad nauseum. All of which is true. Still, the place is bleeding me and the driveway is terrible (long too)! Just today, she was saying, "are you sure God wants you to move from Lewiston? Look how beautiful this is. Why do you want to go to a place you've never been?" This less than ten minutes after holding on for dear life whilst going up my driveway and complaining how bad it is.

Paula trys to get me to go to church with her. She is getting more and more agressive with her prosthelyzing. How do I deal with this? The woman has pulled my chestnuts out of the fire and been more of a Christian sister to me than anyone else I've ever met. What she is doing is in sisterly love, still sometimes, it's suffocating.

She has worked her way into my heart and I have no wish to hurt her. She is kind, there when I need help, encourging, suffocatingly leagalistic, and drives me crazy. Any suggestions on how I can deal with this?

Wonderful! Must be something new you are trying?

May God bless.

This time of year it's sure hard to stay excited to study, I would think. Soon it will be summer!

Stude,

How long have you known this person? She knows you are already a Christian, yet is trying to convert you......that's not so nice, on her part.

If she is a friend, you can surely say...I'm happy being Lutheran, and I see it as the place God has led me to. Who can argue with God's leading?

Just a start......:)
