Oh my.

Facial pain comes and goes in waves. So frusteared. Ibuprophen, Vicodin, heating pad, Lorazapram, water, and dreams of whiskey (not combining eith the other drugs) and as much sleep as possible.

Connie, are you trying to kill me? I just choked on my own saliva. The discussion is what did me in.

Suzi, I,m sorry that you are hurting so much.

Sea flap flap.

I just clicked your link, Connie, and about flipped K-Bug out. It was glorious.

Last night was horrid but this morning I'm feeling human. Kinda pain-hungover but the idea of leaving the house does not have me in a puddle of tears. I do have a call in to my doctor's office. They are open Saturdays with just one doc and one nurse. The nurse is supposed to call me. I need a better way to cope when this flares. I can up my Lyrica, but that takes a few days to show any change. Pain meds don't touch the pain. Ibuprophen occasionally provides a little relief but can't be counted on as a true reliever. I throw Lorazapram into the mix to try to prevent panic attacks when the facial pain is at its worst. Maybe I just need to apply libral amounts of whiskey.

So, blah. Need to clean house, get out to the barns to file some paperwork, meal plan for the week, run laundry, start a pot of chili, in home training session with the dog, and I'm sure there is more. CJ is working so it is just me and K-Bug.

MAJESTIC Sea Flap Flap.

The idea that you got even a tiny bit of ease through laughter eases my heart, Suzi. I really hope that your doctor can do something useful for you soon.

Doctor's office was useless. My doc wasn't on duty and the nurse I spoke with doesn't know what trigeminal neuralgia is. So, keep doing what I'm doing and if I'm still in pain by Monday, I should make an appt. Oy. Luckily the nerves have quit spasming for now. I just feel completely run down and loopy. Joy. We are almost done running errands and then it will be nap time.

Sorry for killing the thread with my whining.

I hope the nap was renewing, Suzi.

Annoyed with my sister. She came over to help me with work, but now my dinner plans for tomorrow are trashed because she can't eat anything that I was planning on serving. Aunt, uncle and a couple of cousins are coming over tomorrow for dinner and they are all health conscious so I was making curried veggies and couscous and a black bean loaf, and other yummy stuff. Sister "can't eat beans" because of her gall bladder so plans to make HAMBURGERS with my son instead. Seriously. And she doesn't like curry (never had it) and she doesn't eat couscous, I didn't bother to ask why. At this point I am going to ask her to go out to eat with my son so I can enjoy my little dinner party.

grumble grumble bitch moan

Suzi, feel better.

Ugh, Laura. How annoying.

We has a nice day. Went to the library, had lunch at the museum, and then walked around the museum for a while. I figured out that there is a step tracking app on my phone. I went 2500 steps yesterday at the mall and 2100 hundred at the museum today. That probably doesn't sound like much to people, but it's something. TCG goes back to work on Monday. So we're enjoying the last couple days of his vacation.

I went for a run, and made a cranberry-walnut pie. Now I really need to take some stuff to Good Will, but the couch has eaten me. It's also cold and windy outside...

Nap was short but sweet. Jack had a training lesson at 4, so we got ready for that. These are in home lessons with an e-collar. Not my choice, but not my dog. This was his second lesson and he did great. We were finally able to talk with the trainer without him barking the whole time. So as he improved with practice, my fave decoded top dip the opposite with spams increasing exponentially. Took a lorazapram to try top forestall an anxiety attack.

This is a sticky end to two weeks of vacation.
