Ye ole Cafe

[Popster]

Roses5555.......it's only a little postponement......keep preparing for your next effort....I see you winning the battle.

Willie......you have a wonderful attitude.....which will allow you to make the necessary adjustments....I am sure of it.

Peace of mind to all of you

[Linville]

Good Morning IOP.

Roses5555 hoping you keep your goal in mind and have the strength to make it. Gosh IS was right on top of needing to take care of yourself you had all the other things hit at the same time causing a perfect storm for you the weather. Sounds like so far you have, good for you.

willie33 it was so good to hear that your surgery part has healed up correctly, so many time the surgery has complications....good luck finding the PM place.


Ice you have done quite the feat stopping smoking and staying off them, congrats! I am sure you must feel better and they say food tastes better too, is that right?

Fire I saw that a big snowstorm dumped 18 inches of snow ....wonder if that help your gangs efforts to ski?

It has been really nice spring weather for me . The grass is green and mother nature is waking up, as usual, ha.

Anyway I hope everyone has a good Thursday, March 24, 2016

Good morning, Cafe Linville frequenters. I'm glad to be back enjoying the coffee - or in my case, rather more smelling the coffee but sticking with the tea!
Thank you so much, Popster, Ice and IS, for your kind words of support. They meant a great deal to me. It's something for me to be so turned in on myself that I couldn't get here to post for a while - I am usually much better at sourcing the support of friends at difficult times but something felt different in this particular crisis, and I found myself locked in, with the world locked out. I am sure my mind did it for a reason - but I must say it feels so much better to be back and talking again, and more importantly, listening again.
Ice, I particularly liked your analogy about life going downhill and picking up speed. That was so spot on, I hope you won't mind, but I intend to steal that one and use it! I promise I will mentally copyright it to you each time.
Popster, thank you for your positivity. I find that approach really helpful. I am definitely not too deterred by my failure to win the war this time round.
IS, thank you for your friendship as ever. I am glad to have you as a friend.
And Willie, I am sorry to hear about the arthritis, even though it is good news that the fusion has healed properly. To have to be dealing with tricky logistics in the middle of hearing news like that is not helpful although so true of life I find. I wish you the very best of luck.
A warm good morning to everyone else today. I hope to see you on here soon.

Good morning everyone!

Damn im tired today! So tired im having caffeinated coffee!
I think its due to melatonin- my friends visited the states last year and they brought back some melatonin.
Recently they gave some to me to try (they're off the shelf) and, well, im positive they put me to sleep quicker, and deeper (those dreams!!!...so I know im getting to stage 5 sleep- REM) but I feel knackered the next day!
Oh well I cant complain, I have 5 days off after this shift :-) - away down south.

Now just to get those anti-anxiety tabs through airpirt security :-0
Nah- im good. Remember the AMG days and all the 'spin off' sites? Well I used 4 in total (2 of the original's and 2 of the 'spin off's')
2 of said 4 were based in UK so when they went down I kept those orders aside, specifically for airport visits (as they came with a prescription, written by a UK Dr, who was legally allowed to prescribe (you can find out anything with google) and they were dispensed from a UK pharmacy, legally allowed to dispense) so its all good.
Basically i'm taking a personal amount (which is all i'd ever do) with all the nesesary documentation.

Rose, Im glad to have you as a friend too.
Ive made a fair few friends on here! Im delighted :-)

Have a great day everyone.

^There you go Ice :-)
A nice big one just for you buddy

[Charon]

sorry, Audrey. I hope u feel better. It must suck, bigtime.

[iNsom]

Audrey that sounds horrific! Have you gone through 2 nights with zero sleep? I feel for you!
The melatonin did work, I took it all this week, but I had some insane dreams. Horrible. Possibly nightmares to be honest and I feel really drowsy today.
I also noticed that id wake up at 4am on the dot each morning, struggle to sleep again, finally sleep again before waking up before my alarm dipping in and out of conciousness for about 30 mins. Id lie there and 'fall' in and out of nightmares.
Ill stick to Doxy going forward I think.

I once mixed melatonin & doxy...im NOT saying to do that, I did do some research first tho, and I was out like a light for 7+ hours.

All the luck in the workd Audrey!

[Revolution]

Good end of day-I'm just catching up here a little. Been gone a few days and you can miss so much sometimes. 

Roses5555, thanks for sharing your story. You are one tough, brave woman, and my chips are on you. Lots of people never talk about it, and I think you are really wonderful to share, because I believe it helhelps others. Thinking of you. 

Willie, I am glad you are through one part of your journey, but I'm not real happy to hear about the nerve damage, Love. You are also in my thoughts right now. 

My coffee toast. Here is to EVERYONE who is hurting, praying you feel better. 

Best to all,

Rev

Thanks everyone for their concern and well wishes.

Rose5555, I am proud of you and glad to see you back.

I_S and Audrey, I am so sorry to hear that you're not sleeping well. I am one of the four a.m. wake-ups myself, but I do get a little sleep with the help of seroquel that would knock a horse out. I know that anti-depressants aren't the answer, but the alternative is no sleep and that makes my pain exponentially worse.

Revolution and Linville, glad to see you back in the cafe. Good morning to all my friends and that means all of you!
