My son is home safe and sound, got a e-mail from his I-pod phone, he gets a chip to go in his phone, or something like a chip when he goes to a foreign country, different chips for different countries. That way he stays in contact with everyone, all his advisors and us his family too. He sent me all kinds of messages, and photo's he took with his phone to show me the beautiful country of Lebanon. I want to thank all of you for keeping him in your prayers, it meant a lot to me, for the safety of our son !! I believe in prayer, it is the our best weapon against EVIL. Barb, I have heard about that kind of foot pain, they have clinics out here for that very thing. Sounds just excruciating, you can't do much when your feet hurt, at least I can't. I can see why you have to lie down, with your buttocks hurting, your feet feeling like pins going through them, it almost seems like to much to bare. We go through a lot as we age, and our health isn't good. Oh Sopharia I am feeling your pain, I do the same thing, I'll be making something, not from a recipe, but from memory, when I am ready to put it in the oven, I am hoping upon hope I haven't forgotten something. My husband said I should write them down, or type them up on the computer, and check off each ingredient as I put it in, so as to not to forget something. I am thinking that's not a bad idea !! yesterday I made a meatloaf, I said to my husband I hope I haven't forgotten anything, he said check you recipe, I said I don't have a recipe, I made this one up from a lot of different meatloaf's I have made over the last fifty years. I put in the oven, and when dinner came, I ate it and said to myself, something is different !!! Guess what I forgot to put in ??? EGGS It seemed to be falling apart, oh well, I think I'll take my husbands advice !!! So your not the only one Sopharia. I am sorry to hear your in so much pain, it sounds unbearable. Pain is a terrible thing, wears me out, make me grumpy, I become a very disagreeable old women. I have a lot of arthritis in my hands, I have all kinds of lumps on my finger joints, my pinkie on my left hand has a big lump on the first joint from the tip of the finger, it has been aching for two days now, the finger is now at a slant to the right, soon it will touch the next finger. I believe the finger aching is because we are to get rain tomorrow, and the temperature is to dip too. I was taking Advil for the pain, but last time I saw the doctor, he said when my blood test came back, I had some liver damage, so I take Tylenol now, but yesterday morning, I woke up with a back ache, than I noticed the pain was right where my kidneys are. So I might have taken to much Tylenol the day before, so I have tried not to take anything today, but boy does my finger hurt, it aches all the time, the only thing that helps at all, is when I hold it under hot water, but than it only lasts a little while, and it's aching again. It not fun getting old !!! Sleep tight, Sweet Dreams everyone !! Sully
