She takes hydracadone, and that doesn't phase her either.
That stuf is powerful. but even it does not take away the pain, and it doesn't knock her out.
If anyone has access to a doctor who might have a clue as to this disease, let me know. Thanks.

Carol is in so much pain, and there seems so little that one can do to help her. She can't lay down at night, so she stays up, and then
during the day she drowses, not sleep, but sort of cat naps. I am going to try to do some research on neuropathy of hands, and feet. The term neuropathy is
so general, that you are liable to get all sorts of hits. Most of the stuff we have tried has failed to even help a little. Neuragel is the latest topical
ointment, and it does nothing. It costs a pretty penny, but does not do the job.

Have you tried Lyrica yet? My mom took that briefly. It took away her pain but she got alot of side effects from it. Also Cymbalta mom was on that too. Talk to
your Dr..

Morning Friends
Looks like a hot one today....as well as the next few days. Sounds like Miss Shelby gets a day for herself. LOL! That'll make her feel better. And Happy Anniversary to Elle and Ira.
I wish the doctors could find something to help Carol. I did a bit of searching yesterday through Google, but I didn't find anything that hasn't already been posted here. Not too much on tap for today. I'm not feeling too good today. I think I got too hot while outside yesterday....so I'm gonna take it a little easy today. Just stay under the AC for the day. I do need to go and get some gas for the lawmowers...but I may do that later this evening. Off to check the board.... |

Elle, congrats on the Anniversary.... | #3207 | ||

Wine, thanks for looking, I too looked again, and like you found nothing new. I am going to encourage her to take water therapy. It
couldn't hurt, and it might help. She is a Pisces who hates water.

OH! Water therapy! YES! That would be a good idea. Those whirlpools...heated...are wonderful. Great for circulation and such. Who knows? It just might help.

Morning Friends,
Well, we got some rain during the night. It kind of cooled things down a little here...but the temps are supposed to soar back up into the 90's today.
Let's have some donuts! LOL! Got a few things on tap for today. Gotta run to the store...pick up a few things. Then possibly a few loads of laundry before the heat of the day sets in. Definitely have work on the computer today. Off to check the board....see if I can find some news stories to post. Check in later... |

Good morning all, It's 75 and partly sunny out there, getting into
the 90's again today.
My but those donuts look GOOD.. I made some to
go with them..
Nothing much going on here today, just counting the days till Monday, that's when Sandy's stitches come out. I think she already pulled one out. I can't wait to give her a bath get her
groomed.. Shelby goes in next week..
Sandy had us up at 4:30 this morning, she had to
poop, Ira took her out and we went back to sleep, that's why I'm late, couldn't get up at 6 which I guess would be a good thing.
Well, see you all later, have a great Friday!

More news about Carol..... | #3213 | ||
|
I've arranged for her to go see a specialist at K.U. Medical Center. They have a department on just neuropathy, we will see what they
have. Carol's neuropathy has gone now to her hands. She can't hold onto anything. It is quite frustrating for her. And,, the pain is unrelenting as
well.
Elle, how was your night out? I hope it was nice. Later.... |

I am SO sorry to hear about Carol, my mom had that awful neuropathy in her hands also, she was numb in 3 fingers. Couldn't even hold a knife. I had to cut
her meat..
We went to Chili's for lunch, if we had waited any longer, lunch could have been dinner. We waited a half hour to eat.. I would have left but didn't feel like waiting in yet another place to eat.
So we waited.
Just before we got finished I told the waiter to bring dessert, I told him I'm ordering now so maybe we should see it BEFORE it gets dark out. He laughed. I really shouldn't have tipped him but he got $5.00 and the service was unacceptable.. We wait every time we go there regardless of how busy it is there. There wasn't that many people there that it should have taken THAT long. We won't be going there any time soon. But thanks for asking Vern.. |

Evening friends,
Vern, I sure hope they can do something for Carol. Being that they have a department in this area alone, perhaps they can. We'll keep our fingers crossed and prayers going. Elle, I know what you mean....I hate going to restaurants like that when the service just really doesn't care. But at least you had a nice time. |

Elle, the next time you have bad service let the waiter know that he is on the "tip O; Meter." The way it works, you normally tip
what 15%, well, for every slight, you start subtracting. Of course, there is the insult of just leaving a penny for a tip.
Wine, I have trouble hearing, and Carol told me to make the arrangements for her at the clinic. So with the speaker phone, I listened and took notes. I hate to say it, I think if anyone had seen me , they would have thought I had lost my mind. |

Morning Friends,
Got rain in the area...but hopefully it will move out soon. Hubby has the weekend off and we're ready to go riding! LOL! From the looks of the radar, it's moving south of us...so hopefully we can get some riding in. Vern, I use the speaker phone at times as well. So if anyone wants to think we're out of our minds, then so be it. LOL! Speaker phones are handy things. And if that's what you need to use, then that's how it is. Wonder if they have some sort of department on hearing problems there at that hospital? You could check on that while you are there with Carol. Can't hurt a bit...you might find some good help there. Many times these departments at the University hospital have more treatments than regular doctor offices. |

Good morning all, It's 84 degrees already and just past 10. I can't believe I forgot to come in here this morning. Busy morning, first Sandy got us up at midnight, and that's after going out at 11. What is with that dog?? She did nothing. Ira went to bed really angry and who could blame him.
He then took her out after 6 again nothing, I took her out after 7 she peed..
So I think I'm in need of a nap later today. I'm starting to drag already.. Vern, I usually double the tax whatever that is. It came to a little over $5.00 but $5.00 was all he got. I don't think it was his fault but he laughed every time we talked to him about our order. I never saw him before. We usually go for dinner.. It's going to be a really long time before we eat out again. I made the morning so please have some before
you leave.
See you all later, if I'm awake..
