How cool is that? Hot air balloons are awesome. Riding in one is on my list of things to do. It's listed right underneath...Go whale watching with my sister. Have any of you ever seen the whales?? I don't mean at Sea World!!!
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice about dealing with the pain. Thanks to everyone who emailed me with questions and suggestions also.
I was taking Percocet 10-650 mg every six hours and Lorcet 7.5-650 mg in between. As of today (Yea!!), I am taking Oxycontin 40 mg every twelve hours. I must say, it's taken the edge off. I am still in some pain BUT it is tolerable. I'm unable to lay on my right side to sleep. However, I feel like I am sitting, walking and breathing much easier. Thank God!! That's after taking only one pill! The side effects are entertaining. I am sort of starring into nowhere, feeling incredibly silly and my eyes are heavy...begging me to go to sleep! That, I will do very shortly.
Other ramblings...
Dad made this incredible chocolate pie. It's like a big ole chunky, chocolaty brownie with crust. Oh who am I kidding?! That description hardly does it justice!!
I did not watch Crazy, Sexy Cancer on TLC. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/a-womans-crazy-sexy-cancer-tips/3153295967 I'm sorry I missed it, because I saw a clip of it on the Today's Show. I have to get the book and meet that woman (Kris Carr).
I'm addicted to Trident Sugar Free Gum Raspberry Lime and the little Crystal Light packets that you put into your water.
I'm ready for Fall and the leaves to change.
I'm also ready for bed!!!!
I love y'all tons.

You have such a way with your words that make me feel like I am sitting right next to you! I have seen whales, in Mexico - what a creation. I am in hopes your tomorrow brings with it some comfort and reasons for you to smile! Take care of you and yours always!

I'm glad you are getting some respite now. That's good.
I have had seeing whales at the top of my list too. It must be so awesome to see such enormous creatures plying the seas. One day I hope we both fulfill our dreams.

That stuff is good for pain. I used to take it for my back then it started making me sick to my tummy like all pain meds do. If you are able to do so go whale watching with your sister and go on that hot air balloon ride. I have never done eith one of those. Hope your day goes well today. Praying for you. Helen
i watched that show and thought how could anyone call cancer sexy? but it was very inspirational and uplifting and encouraging....and a happy ending to boot!!!!
Glad to hear that you got some new meds...

Ooooooooh! I was hoping you would see some balloons! They are gorgeous aren't they?! They have been taking off from TLHanna and the church down the street from us. We've been enjoying them every day! The kids are so fun to watch and listen to. They have their own theories as to why the balloons are going in the direction they are going in and if they are going up or down or why they are racing and who's in first! They love to watch the balloon chasers go by too (the trucks with the trailers that follow the balloons to help bring them down safely) and guess which balloons they are following. Next year you and I will have to take the kids to the festival and watch the balloons launch and land! BTW there is also an oxycodon if the oxycontin starts to give you trouble. Love you!
I am so glad that you are feeling better! You and Daniel should have a discussion about that loopy feeling. Evidently, your digits can do amazing things! Take care--MN
My husband John got to watch dolphins when he was at high school! It was in Florida. He said it was pretty cool! BTW, he is on Percocet right now for complications from his stem cell transplant (he had for cancer) and it is not even touching his pain. If the Percocet does not work by tomorrow (Tuesday) he is calling the oncology nurse.
Your pic of the hot air balloons is cool!
I also love the fall, b/c I love the weather that is a little cooler.
