Good Morning Everyone,
I actually woke up hungry this morning instead of nausea first thing. The one bad habit that I still have is my cup of coffee in the morning.
I managed to get an english muffin down and now I am working on some water before trying some coffee. Luv that stuff. I ususally don't drink more than a cup or two but we don't want coffee w/d's on top of everything else.
Mike, what is going on with you? I really hope your okay this morning. I wish I could help but I would need more details about what is going on in that head of yours. Our heads are our worst enymies (oops SP)
Anyway if you can talk a bit more about it maybe we can help. You have reached out to me so much and I feel I can reach back to you HUGS.:)
I had a really hard time going to sleep last night. :yawn: I got to thinking and I realized that from all the throwing up none of the other meds I was given to detox were making into my system. SOme of them the doc said I would have to ween down from as well. They are Clonidine(blood pressure med) 2 x a day and Baclofen 3 x a day for spasms but I really don't think they helped. Not to mention the Premarin and my Cymbalta. So basically my poor system is freaking out.:blob_fire
As much as I hate to admit I think the supositories work for me way better for nausea. Hate that supository thing! Its just wrong! Hahahaha!
I feel a little better this morning but that is what happened yesturday. I felt okay and took a shower and got moving around and within about 3 hours of waking up the vomitting thing started again.
I really really really want to go to my home group meeting of Cocaine Anonymous this morning at 10 am. That is my favorite meeting of the week. It is in a detox center and it is so cool to watch the new people come in an take chips and then keep comming back after they get out. We use the Big Book with the permission of AA.
So you guys think this is it for me? It will be day 6 no Methadone. I hope it is a good day because I have 2 quizzes I need to take for my on line class and then an exam at the local campus next week. I am going to try and think positive and not sit here waiting for the w/d **** to happen.
You guys I am so blessed! :angel: I reallly do not have any pain anymore. What a miracle. The only thing that happens is the nerve in my elbow freaks out every now and then. I think that is because it is regenerating. Painful yes but doesn't last long enough for any medication. My wrist is always painful and the surgeon said it will always be that way, so I have learned to accept that one. SOme days are good with it and others bad.
The only thing that concerns me is my rotator cuff is at riisk of injury because I have such severe atrophy to my entire left arm. I have not used it for 3 years almost.. They said some may never come back. I guess it is called muscle wasting. Oh-well. It won't stop me from doing the things I love.
There won't be any wake-board trips this summer again, but I will be grateful to ride behind my friends boat in the tube. I can keep on dreaming because this workers comp stuff is going to be coming to an end soon and then I can start to do what I want and not be under there watch anymore.
I will check in later and let you know how I am doing. Thanks so much. I love you all and Mike please keep that chin up we all love you very much!!
Love Chrissy
