Thanks, Linda. It sure isn't for sissies. Ugh!

Oh, I'd love water therapy. There's one hospital now in the Highland (Alameda County) Hospital System which does have a pool, and maybe I can get the orthopedist to prescribe therapy there. But, I'm not seeing her again till November, and I don't know the doctor I'll be seeing Tuesday. She'll be totally new to me. Getting' older isn't for sissies! Praying for you and Curt, too, Karen!!

Well, I can empathize, Linda, because of my pain issues, too. Yesterday, I sat one bum on a chair just for a couple of minutes to nibble something. Didn't think much about what I was doing, just on the run, you know? But when I stood up, I knew I was in trouble. So, it was a good thing we had a ride to the ice cream social last night so we didn't have to walk there and home. Still not back
to best today. But that's how it goes. You're so right about the need for sleep. If I don't get some, I really can't function the next day. I'm so glad you're going to talk with your doctor about it, and hope he/she will be helpful with that. Wish you could get some water therapy, too, because that might help.

My dear Karen, you are such a supportive person!! Thank you indeed!! I've finally slept so feel better, and am in the process of getting a letter off to the prescribing doctor. It'll be gone early tomorrow morning. I'm seeing my new doctor Tuesday and we're going to talk about this arthritis-nerve impingement issue and how it's devastating my ability to sleep. I did lay around yesterday, but of course, one can't do that forever! Again, thank you so so much!!

Oh, Linda, I'm soooo sorry you're going through this. I'll pray, of course. Best for you to get it handled so you can get more meds and be able to sleep. Wish I could be there to help you in some way. Ugh!

Hi All,
I'm really having a tough time of it with the shoulder arthritis and not being
able to sleep. Then Thursday on the way home from my doctor appointment, I lost
the prescriptions he'd given me, and one of the types of pills prescribed is a
controlled substance, and you've gotta file a police report if you lose the
prescription before you can get another one. There's a way for sighted people
to do this online but because at least for now Javascripting interferes with our
screen-reading programs, I can't do this online and will probably have to call a
police officer to come to my house. I'm so tired as a lot of nights I'm lucky
to get three or four hours of sleep. Also, my mom's in a bad way as she's been
diagnosed with arthritis and bersitis in her right hip, and pain goes all the
way down her leg to her ankle. Thanks in advance for your prayers for us.
Linda G.
