My arm bone moved out of place today. I think it's back in place now, but it was kinda freaky.....no......a lot freaky :(

Oh no Leesiugh, that does not sound good. Let us know how you do at the doc's :)

And ya know, it also does a good job of enhancing petite boobage ;)

Squeezes 'em up there, does it? B)

I'm afraid this means I'll need surgery....with pins :(

Gosh, I hope not...

Yes!!! But it has nothing to do with your lack of A/C.

Bagheera has a new family. He was adopted by a family with three girls and they are just adoring him. Happy ending. :)

Lisa, bummer on the moving arm thing. It does sound like surgery may be in the future. :(

Tis hot here, with a thunderstorm watch. Reportedly, Michigan had some weather they didn't want, and have sent it across Lake Huron. It is expected here around midnight. :unsure:

Leeeesargh! Oh, man, that is just crappy about that arm o' your'n ..... . ..:(

Please send NO distasteful weather up here. We are at the start of the dog days of summer here.. . ..so freakin' hot, humidity to rival the Amazon.. . .... . ..actually, it likely couldn't be much more distasteful... ....

Jack comes home from his two-week camp tomorrow. he's probably grown out of all the shirts and shorts he packed. Honestly, for the past six months I've been saying goodnight to him, going to bed, getting up the next morning and seeing him come into the kitchen, and he's taller. :rolleyes:

Dear gawd, 'tis the hottest freakin' day YET..... . . . ..Jack The Taller is home now, and he just went and cracked an egg on our interlock stone out back. Yep, it is cooking..... . ...:blink:

Crap, I have three or four excellent photos of Leeeeesargh, Chris and I from our Cheeeecago Psummit, but they are hidden amongst about six hundred shots in Will's camera - - a couple of years' worth of insurance claim evidence photographs... . . ..burned out and flooded houses, SUVs wrapped around poles, collapsed bridges, saiboats torn apart.. . . . ..... . .but yep, we're in there somewhere.....dunno why the pics are all out of chronological order on his SIM card. Perhaps there is an automatic priority sorter, and it read Leeeesargh's image with her excellent wrist/arm support as fraudulent accident victim claim (because our Leeeesargh just looks too damned good to be so banged up, lemme tell ya).. .. . . .....;)B)

Anyways, I must sit and go through them all. The sad, ruined houses, cars and boats.. . .. . .. . ..and us.

:lol:

The weather here has eased today. Humidity and temperature are both down, and it is pleasant out here on the deck.

Did we make the record for longest period of quiet?

Stinking hot and humid here.:( kids are dog sitting 2 little dogs that only get to go out on leashes. So they bring them down to our fenced yard. Even they weren't thrilled to be out more than 10 minutes.

We had our opening weekend breakfast last night. I think I ate my weight in strawberries, which is no mean feat, since I weigh quite a bit. Lotsa donut-pastry thingies, but fortunately one woman made piles of just scrambled eggs, and someone else made little sausages. Got home after midnight, and managed to sleep in until 7 this morning. Felt good, but it sure makes the day short. It's almost 11 and I'm just now having brekky.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
