Trip to Tybee Island and Savannah Ga.

Hi Sweet Friends,

I have to apologize for being absent
lately from my blog and visiting with
you all.

I was put on some new meds and for
a couple of weeks I have felt like
crap!!! I was put on Cymbalta for
my fibro...ughhh it was so bad...I
felt like my head weighed 100lbs.
my mood shifted to feeling depressed
and I could not concentrate on anything.
So needless to say I just stopped taking
them. I have not told my Dr. yet and have
an appointment in less than two weeks.
The only thing it was good for was my
foot that has the RSDS problem...alot
less pain and tingling, but that was the
only bennefit from it.

Also my 91 yr old Mom is having
problems with her legs now and
needs more care too. So we both have
been rather down lately!                                        

The good news is my husband whisked
me away over the 4th of July weekend
and we had a blast.

A little beachy fun....the Dolphins came
to say hi and swam very close to us...I love them soooo much!!! My husbands left knee and my right
knee got sunburned only...it was too funny!





We had dinner at my favoite "Pirates House"
Restaurant in Savannah....
do you see my Mint Julep?? Mmmm yummy!


 
                                                                            A beautiful bowl of fruit with our morning 
breakfast....the colors were gorgeous!!







This is our friend John Sandifer who
as you can see impersonates Forest Gump here in Savannah! If you visit Savannah go on the Old Savannah tours Trolley and Forest will hop on board!!

I am way past my 200th post and will be having an up and coming Giveaway very soon
so stay tuned!!

Love to you All,

Susan

    Good to hear from you and I'll bet you did the right thing to stop taking that particular drug. Happy to hear you got out for a little trip, you look good. I assume that is your DH with you and Forrest? Pretty dress you are wearing. Hope your mom gets to feeling better soon, and you too. It has been a strange summer so far.

    Dear Susan
    Me too - I've missed you too and came looking for you today as I thought I must have missed your last post.
    What a great day - swimming with dolphins it doesn't get better than that mon amie.
    I do feel for you battling the side effects of drugs - you just take your time and I look forward to meeting up again once you're feeling brighter.
    Sending you great big hugs
    much love
    Shane

    Like everyone I have missed you! So happy though that you got to visit your favorite place. I keep thinking I am going to be sitting on that beach with you one of these days. lol I just wish it would hurry and come true I so need a trip to the beach and to meet you.
    I so enjoyed our visit on the phone. Thought my virus was over with because I was good during the night but found out the hard way that it is well not over with. lol
    I just got my rating from the workers comp DD doctor and he put me at 5 percent but does find me permanently disabled but can return to work. Lord help me what does this all mean. I guess I will talk to my lawyer Monday.
    Sorry did not mean to write a letter
    Love ya

    Hi Susan- I am glad you are feeling better- it's tough to get settled on new meds. Your Mother is so lucky to have you to care for her- I certainly wish her some better days.

    Your Savannah trip sounds like such a good time! ( my husband is a Forest Gump groupie!) I think he knows every line in the movie!!

    You look beautiful in the photos ( you always do)--
    Vicki

    Just happened upon your blog from another and your title caught my eye...live near Sav. Ga.

    I wanted to tell you about my RELIEF FROM FIBRO..using Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Please stop by my blog post on it...at www.watereingwellsofhope.blogspot.com

    Taking this took away ALL my Fibro symptoms...

    You must read up on it and atleast try it. I know all our bodies are different. IE: cancer, I have had it.

    I hope you find the help you need and not on meds...

    Blessings
    HOPE

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
