Hey, how's it going today for you? It's 2023. An alternate thread for different people.

Suzy, Jasmine and I are all well. Suzy is on two medicines for her chronic ear problem. This is the first time they prescribed 2 meds. I hope it helps my baby. I hate to see her suffer. Otherwise she is fine and always wanting treats 😊

My back is feeling better after all the ice packs and meds I used for it. I've had chronic back problems for most my life. I just do what works mostly.

I hope your night rocks !!

I must ask who is Jasmine? Another pet I was not aware off?
Have you had a chance to ask the doctor about Zanaflex for your back pain, you said you were taking Roboxin or something but it did not help. I have been thru 11 years of pain until I got this. It might not be right for you and your particular health concerns but it does not hurt to ask. What is wrong with your back and hip, is it just normal aging or something else?
 

Jasmine is my little Parakeet. I have herniated discs in my lower back. I'm not sure what's going on with my hip. I haven't seen a doctor about it but I should. You see I have been going to doctors and getting lab work since I was about 25 because I had a bad chronic condition that needed constant monitoring. I became sick of it and now I really have to push myself to get medical help. I have some conditions that I just put out of my mind. I know it's not the right thing to do but it is what I do.

I imagine a parakeet is a most interesting lovely pet.

I think the power of the mind to cope with physical pain is so important. Far better than dwelling on pain and letting it control you. I hope you are ok.

Thank you @Kaila I've been thinking about you and hoping you can find relief from you anxiety. Have you tried breathing exercises? Someone once guided me through one and it was very helpful. If you have YouTube I believe they have deep breathing exercises or meditations. I wish I knew one off hand but I will look into it and post something for you.

Oh, a guided one....that's a good idea. I did those years ago, and totally have forgotten about them!
It even reminds me of doing other relaxation exercises, too, such as with a mantra, or the physical ones that go from head-to-toe, or the other direction (I can't remember which direction they adviseo_O:LOL::giggle:)
Thanks for the reminder.
I also used to mentally sing a very peaceful simple song, to myself. And repeated it.
I forgot about those methods, till your post got me going, and I needed the refresh of ideas! I shall just pick one, and do it!☺️
 
@RadishRose
I see that @Rose65 might like a ticket, to join us, as well.
How big is your airplane? There might be some others, too.😄

We could look at rooftops as we fly by them, to see if others are out there in their pajamas, and holding big colorful signs, saying something to let us know they are one of us!

😃😁😆☺️
You all know me; I need my doses of humor!
And sharing them, here, with you, is one of my best medicines!:rolleyes:😊🤩🥳
 
Well... I'm a wee bit fretting. I get a call end of last week, the person asking if they can come Tuesday. Had to refuse as it was my shopping day.

So it was rescheduled for definitely Friday afternoon with a possibility of coming in on Thursday same time...

Waited all day today for nothing. Got a call around 5pm, having to reschedule for Wednesday next week, on the 15th now.

So, had changed my schedule to accommodate now, I've to rearrange two days by bringing them forward....

The reason I'm upset is that if we were to do that with an appointment we'd be told that it was unacceptable behaviour but apparently it's okay for them to do it over and again.

Goddess me, I hate unfairness. Don't you? Grr argh!
 
@Ruthanne
(and any others of you who are interested;):giggle:)

After your posted suggestion for me, about relaxation exercises, I tried out one of my own old ideas that yours caused me to remember, and it worked! (y)☺️
I rested while I thought of a simple short phrase that I found calming, and I focussed on it and was repeating it slowly and silently in my mind, and it helped to lower anxiety, and allowed me to get a very needed nap, which was the 2nd part of my goal. :sleep:🤩

Oh, I just re-read the posts, and I see that the jet plane belongs to @Jamala not to @RadishRose who is "only driving it." 😁

I hope your plane is large, Jamala! ☺️
SF is a friendly place!😊

Yes, it's very roomy, but sadly, the pilot who took over because RadishRose
was busy making soup....radioed to say engine trouble developed
over Beijing...something to do with a balloon.
Will keep you posted!
