[Ickie]

this morning I got an awful headache I took 1 12 hour oxy + 6 hour xoy dose, at 6 am. maybe the 2 will kick this.

[Ickie]

boy 2016 is a bad awful terrible year for me.
this spring my radiator went out in my truck and 2 months ago my computer blew, last week my microwave blew up, and today my water pump went out in my truck.

Oh darn, Ron .... I never read this forum and only happened on it today. Oh man, how much bad luck can you have !? Rooting for ya and hoping things can bet turned for the better. Hang in there my friend.

[Rami]

Ron,

This is not funny anymore. I hope things turn around for you real quick, no one deserves it more!

Now where did I put that bullet for the .45

I took 1 12 hour oxy + 6 hour xoy dose, at 6 am. maybe the 2 will kick this.

I've been stuck on morphine 12 hour, with, additionally, what they call Instant Release for breakthrough pain, along with Tramadol and Lyrica. All for Diabetic neuropathy. Friggen foot pain.
Beware, that Oxy stuff is addictive as all heck.

this spring my radiator went out in my truck

Mine did too! 87 4Runner literally blew the top tank off. Blew a hole in some water lines under the intake manifold too, so I spent the summer repairing that.

2 months ago my computer blew

Lost mine last winter. Luckily, we found a nice desktop cheap, so I'm still simming

Now where did I put that bullet for the .45

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!
I came, literally, within a cat's whisker of swallowing a round. My highschool sweetheart left me, for a second time, and I got deep into depression. I really love her a lot. I was sitting in my pickup, looking down the barrel of my pistol, wondering if I would see the bullet coming, when our kitty jumped up in my lap and demanded attention. Stopped me from pulling the trigger, and I finally got over the depression. So, don't even think about it! It's too final an answer to a problem that isn't that final.
Please don't even think about it. You have a lot of friends, and acquaintances, that care for you.

I know, my life isn't anywhere near the as bad as yours, but hey, we all need ya, so stick around for a bit

For depression I can recommend taking 15 mg of dried saffron stamen twice a day soaked in a small cup of warm water. It worked a treat for my wife who was suffering from post stroke depression. I bought some from Amazon - 3 x 4 gram boxes, which should be enough for a year, cost 19.50 € per box.
Keep your chin up Ickie, we are rootin for you.

[Ickie]

lol i was only joking about the bullet, I know where it is, lol.
today is the first day in 3-4 weeks I woke without a headache. My old friend of 30 years is Father Todd, a retired Catholic priest, he found me my place here in St Pete Florida 12 years ago after the hurricane hit me in Pensacola Florida, Came by yesterday (almost everyday he comes by) and brought this prayer cream to rub on over my heart, which I did and ask for forgiveness, which I did last night.

Chemo is MURDER, Ron. I have a friend who has had Chemo and she was in a lot of discomfort for the longest time because of it. The medicine is doing its job... bear with it as much as possible. I know the pain can be horrific but you're a tough contender, man. Thanks for keeping us in the loop and HANG IN THERE, bro. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts....

Morning Ickie--

Ouch! At least it sounds like you had a productive morning! The good news is, since you woke up so early, you'll probably be tired and want to crash later this morning, and hopefully....you will be able to get some much deserved rest. Keep your chin up, buddy-- we are all rooting for you!

[Ickie]

well i am off to get the kemo, today it is the dreaded double dose 2 different kinds, last week i was introduced to only one of them, and it will take 4 hours to give me the doces.
7 am give blood for platelet count
8 am they give me the 30 minute water dose to keep me hydrated
8:30 the first dose of kemo
9 am the second dose, and this one takes 1 whole hour to give, I am told.
I should be back around 11 am.

I get next week off to let these drugs work.

[Francois]

Good luck Ron, hang in there !

I took aa nap, not feeling good and woke 2 hours later with a headache and slight fever, I was told this will most likely happen and she was right.
I was told if my fever gets to 100 i have to go to the ER.

4 pm I took a 12 hour Oxycontin
