I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
The cone biopsy was absolutely painless. They gave me a local anesthetic. I was left with some bruising for about two weeks but other than that it was fine.
So try not to worry!
Hugs!
Told family and my mom started singing and then started laughing and then we all started laughing. I think it was a coping mechanism, she did not hear correctly or she was just nervous. I told her it could possibly be breast cancer and then a very serious look on her face. She told me I would be alright. Sweet mom always positive attitude even in the most serious of circumstances. Thanks for the vent.

Congratulazioni!
Julie, hope your dad is ok. Keep us updated.
AliBo, thank you for your concern about my mother. Congratulations on your test results.
I got them both on Amazon; one "Cervical Neck Traction Device and Trigger Point Massager"... with no trademark name and listing says patent pending.
And, a Medcursor Neck Shoulder Massager. Just thought I'd mention them because I'm a big fan of both. They really help with my headaches and the neck-shoulder massager is electronic and I put in all over my back.
I purchased a relatively inexpensive massage chair once. It was like sitting on a phone vibrating under several pillows. lol I returned it. Too bad many of those chairs are way out of my price range. For $5k, I can get a lot of massages.
EB, I love your stories about your mom. I hope she's ok and no UTI.
Anache, you, too. I would hate seeing my mom in pain and not being able to help her. How is she?
My mom is super fun. She is pleasant, good natured, easy going and great to be around. I do not know if she was pulling my leg with the Easter Bunny thing but i do not think so. She had an a office visit with her urologist today who did a urine culture just in case she might have a start of another UTI.
I just got off the phone with a student advisor and financial aid office. I can take a short leave of absence and start a new term/year on July 28. This is great news and I'm going to do that and use the time to improve personal health and get my housing sorted. I'm still working to get N's old room cleaned up, had some issues with paint and need to steam clean the walls. Amazing how much damage someone can do in a few months. I'll devise a better vetting process and look to sublet again. It's been a mostly good experience and it sure helps to ease financial stress at a time when I'm going to school full time.
Now to finish this schoolwork and be done with the term. I have much to do before close of day tomorrow but feeling optimistic about everything, and how I can use a break to improve my foundations and then focus again on school. It's an anti-whine. haha
As for that link - thank you, I was looking for something like that. But I think you'd have to be a gymnast to do that stuff on your own😕
golden - that's a good tip about the decongestant, I'm going to try that!
You probably know about these but here is a link on how to do the Epley and other maneuvers at home for vertigo. I had this once. Had an ENT Dr do the Epley. Never had it again.

glad - the theracane looks good!!!
cw - that turning your head causes vertigo tells me it is an inner ear problem. I had that recently. When I get it I try a decongestant and it helps. Allergies or a cold will trigger that.
I figured I'd feel better with some fresh air so I did a slow walk sticking to the shady streets. That went fine except when I had to turn my head at intersections, and I'm not sure I would have passed a field sobriety test 😂. Anyway I'm hoping it just goes away as mysteriously as it arrived.🤞
I've had vertigo periodically, but never figured out the cause. I think it's probably the worst experience I've had; the sense of instability is frightening.
Sure hope you feel better and this stops, soon, or rather NOW!
After getting up and walking the cramping out, or pulling your foot up towards knee, never pointing your toes. Owie.
If I over-exert, then I get a cramp. I take oral chelated magnesium on a regular basis, plus Vit. D.
Golden, I am going to try a Tums right now for same.
Ali - looking back if there was any advice I could have given myself it would have been not to push myself as much as I did - emotionally, physically - whatever way. On the other hand, I have no guarantee that my life would be any different now if I had not pushed myself as much. But my guts tell me it was not a good thing. That being said you know yourself better than anyone else does and need to do what feels right to you. We are all behind you anyway.
Need, I have two more days until the end of the school year. I wish I could say I was finishing strong but I'm struggling. lol I'm weary of the mental workload but I'll finish with more great grades in the books. There is a one-week break and then another term starts. I talk to my advisor tomorrow about the 4-week break option, but leaning towards just diving into things again in a week. I have too many questions about taking a leave of absence and if it's going to cause more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for asking about me.
I wish I had some sage advice for you Golden. When I get cramps I find a hot bath helps but being it's so hot out you probably wouldn't want to do that.
Feel better!
Thx ali and need. Ali - I had already ordered some magnesium. We will see. Ex takes the vinegar at the time of the cramp and says it works.
need - hope you find something good to eat and a way to deal with your allergies. No fun, I know.
Anche - sorry about your mum. J hope her doctor can help. Re cramps - thanks for the laugh. I had leg cramps with pregnancy too.
I better quit while I'm ahead. I'm still a little spacey from the CFS.
I was 30 and pregnant when I woke up one night because of this terrible pain in my leg. I could move it, didn't feel it.
So panicking I woke up my husband telling him I was paralised!
Half asleep he just told me: no you are not paralysed, it is just a cramp! Just stretch your leg.
Well that was my first cramp, I had heard people talking about them but I really didn't know how painful they are...
Hope you have a good experience on this site.
