Far Guy saw his Neurologist this week, we are tweaking the medications again..Far Guy took away one too many pills..so he is supposed to be adding it back in..now whether he is or not..that remains to be seen. He drives me nuts, he would like to take as little medication as possible to control his pain. There is a fine line between the excruciating pain and pain he can tolerate...there is a new drug being tested in Australia, which may be a total cure for Trigeminal Neuralgia, our Neurologist says that it will never be approved by the FDA, and if it is Insurance Companies won't cover it. He also said that the insurance companies are way to big for their britches..they are into numbers and have forgotten the patients. Perhaps this new medication when it is out in a year will be available in Canada. You know what..we don't live very far from the border either.
Thanks for all your kind comments concerning our oldest daughter Trica, she is still feeling very tired..
The Loons are now caring for two eggs, in 27 or 28 days they should hatch:)
Pretty header photo Connie - Happy Mother's Day. What a weather week you had and your pictures are awesome. I do see the rainbow! Chance looks a little worried about the snowflakes! For this southern girl, the snow in May is just unimaginable. Serves the snow birds right! My prayers continue for Far Guy and Tricia. Love to you special friend.
ReplyDeleteI have seen snow in Easter but never in May. I would be one of those pansy asses.
ReplyDeletePansy asses.....that comment cracked me up! So true!
ReplyDeleteGlad your daughter is feeling better but I feel your frustration through all of this. Very scary. You want to help, step in but somehow you can't.
You lucked out on the snow and not getting what we did. Good ole Great Lakes I guess! At least I am not up by Marquette...they are under a blizzard warning. It is still snowing here, almost 2 p.m....snow is sticking some but see the green grass poking through.
I always appreciate you stopping by and checking in on me! I love the layout of your new blog too by the way.
Take care of yourself!
Header picture is beautiful! Agree - snowbirds need some weather!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to be back here. Your new header is gorgeous. We have had a wild ride in our weather too. 85 degrees yesterday and 45 degrees today. The winds have been so gusty that our yard is full of broken limbs and twigs and my poor container garden is looking dismal and wind-whipped.
I was sorry to hear that Tricia has been ill. Glad to know she is feeling better. Looks like I've got a lot of reading and catching up to do.
I've been watching the Loon Cam day and night, and it makes me feel even colder than I am already! Not to mention I get a little motion-sickness if I watch too closely! So glad you posted about it!
ReplyDeleteAh, your header sings spring....snow and all! I'll sure keep Far Guy in my prayers. My roses are startin' to bloom and we have a freeze warnin' in the frost holler tonight. I love the rainbow pic! :o)
ReplyDeleteGod bless ya and have a marvelous Mother's Day!!!
Happy Mother's Day
ReplyDeletePatsy
The rain and the sunshine is always a constant up there but the cold and the wind added makes it frustrating. We are having it down here too, but we won't get as cold. Chance sure is irritated with the snow.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is really unsettled at this time of year, everywhere I guess. I could ALMOST see that rainbow. Happy Mother's Day to you, and I hope you have a great sunshiny day.
ReplyDeletePoor Chance! He looks miserable. Like he can't believe it's really snowing again! We hope you have a really wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat medicine sounds intriguing. Keep us posted about that. I'd be heading for Canada too for a cure to Far Guy's pain. Why won't they be selling it in the USA? Very frustrating.
Kisses,
Emma Rose and the Duchess
I, too, love the header. About the pansy "a"s - - - how did that term ever come to mean someone wimpy because Pansies are such a hearty flower even though they look delicate? They will survive our winters and below freezing temperatures and still keep on blooming. It is heat they hate - - and the snowbirds hate the cold - - - hmmmmm - - sounds like an opposite term.
ReplyDeleteChance does look like he sees something not good coming around the corner - - animals sense bad weather more that we do, don't they?
- - - and I am sorry about your husband and daughter. It would be nice if our bodies were like cars - - - - they can have parts completely fixed or replaced and keep running as good as new - - or close to it.
I just went on the Mayo Clinic website and read about your husband's disease. It is a horrible thing to cope with. It said even talking can sometimes cause the pain. Does his pain stay in one area or move around? I will remember to pray for him.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day --- hope all is well & getting better! Ugh to the snow - insurance companies.... Hello Canada!
ReplyDeleteMiss Lynda, His pain is on the right side of his face and head. It does move around in that area..sometimes the pain is in his teeth, sometimes in his eye, sometimes it shoots pains upwards into his skull.
ReplyDeleteDuchess, The Doctor feels it will never be FDA approved for use in the USA. Just his opinion..we will have to wait and see.
Thanks everyone for your comments:)
Snow in May.. poor you, but it does give some lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYour header is just stunning!
Have a wonderful day.
great cloud pictures. you'll get your rainbow.
ReplyDeletepoor far guy--chronic pain is so debilitating. i hope he finds the right combo of medication (and then takes it!).
Loved that second shot!! Could have been used for my April photo contest!!
ReplyDeleteOur weather has certainly been "interesting". I'm so glad I didn't go ahead and fill my outside pots yet. That garden stuff is way too expensive to have freeze to death.
ReplyDeleteOH! JOY!!!! A rainbow!!! A delightful FIRST!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor me. We have been have too much wind for one to appear, but you got one!
Linda
