Helo to all. THings have been pretty quiet and calm for the most part. Ive filed for Social secrurity disability. They should be making their determinations in the next 2-3 weeks now. Staying home has been driving me batty at times. I put my yurngest son in daycare 3 times a week so he continues to learn and grow. He's just gettin to attached to mom. Its not healthy for him. Or for me. On the days he goes to daycare, I usually sleep for a couple hours in the morning and then start on one of their rooms, cleaning it out, gettin rid of toys and clothes that are no longer needed. I also spend alot of my time going to different doctors during the week. I see a general MD for my anxiety, well being, etc. I see a specialist for my Crohns Disease and another specialist for my kidney stones and failure. I have a 3rd lythotripsy surgery this year on Oct 13th. Not looking forward to it. I talked to my GI specialist and he has decided to not use the miracle Humera drug on me as I have so many complications with my kidneys. Humera depletes the immune system and as I was septic in 2006 and the 3 surgeries this year on kidneys, we have changed the plan. I will be taking immurane, entocort, and MP6 drugs. Im currently eating alot of percocet still. As alot of you know this has been a DOC 4 me. Im not happy about needing it and so far have not abused it. But I can tell the addiction is still there just the same. Its a constant everyday battle that I take them. I like how they make me feel and I can be super mom for a day. But I know i dont need them to be supermom. I am with or with out the pills. At any rate, I take them still as needed only and just to take the edge off. I have a good relationship with my doctors and the trust is completely open. I find that I like that too. I have become an active studier in my own treatment options and we discuss them in our appointment. I do know my body is becoming accustomed to the percocet and I know detoxing is gonna suck but I will do it with the help of my doctors, my sponsor, and my HP.

So today, I am in a good place today.

Sounds like things are going good. Its a fine line with the percs but seems your monitoring right now. I know the needing them for pain then the wanting them for energy. Keep communication open and keep your chin up.

Actually, I talked with Gwen for quite some time late yesterday afternoon.

Even though she is prescribed her DOC she is not even using the full amount prescribed and is only taking the edge off her pain, and not getting the 'addictive relief' she sought in the past.

Looks like our girl is doing really good, she has applied to reactivate her Disability as her condition is now much worse than when she was on it before and was able to go back to work.

Her outlook on life is happier, she actually LAUGHS and GIGGLES now. I also passed on to her a great coupon site, that will email her weekly with new coupons, mostly off of food items, that she can print out at home. She didn't know about it, was looking at it while we were talking and realized it could save her about 10 to 12 dollars a week on her groceries, maybe more. Especially since you can print 2 of the coupon you want each week. You have to go back to the main page, but heck it's worth it.

After talking with her, I did not realize she hadn't known about it, so figure some of you may not also.

Coupons

Our Gwen is really doing EXCELLENT considering all she has been through, just starting feeling better and her health issues flared terribly.

Way to go Gwen!!!!!!!

Love and hugs,
