Just finished cleaning the bedroom and bath in the new house....so...I jumped in the jet tub and laid in there for about an hour....ooooowweeee!
Oh Janet,i envy you.How RELAXING?!?!? We have a teeny tiny bathroom.With an old old small tub.I cant even get dressed in there,i have to go to my bedroom after a shower to get dressed.We are in the very early stages of redoing the bathroom,we're actually going to take out a small bedroom and combine it with the existing bathroom and make a real big bathroom,with the jacuzzi tub,large glass encased shower,i cant wait!!! Its going to take time and more money than we have right now but its been a dream ive had for the whole 18 years we've been in this house,and now we are finally going to start the project! Enjoy your new house and beautiful relaxing tub.Do you have the candles all around it,and a magazine to read while soaking,lol,ive got it all planned in my head,i just keep visualising myself exactly how its going to look/feel.When will you be IN the house permanantely? ~KIM
Just thought that I would pop in and say HI Janet and Kim. I went back to bed this morning and didn't wake up until 3pm. I have only taken one pill all day long and I am feeling okay. I'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
Oh yeah, hubby cooked supper tonight and I was actually able to eat. That is a big accomplishment for me. Ya'll have a good night. By the way, Benedryl works great for insomnia.

Hi Pam ,im glad youre feeling better and getting more sleep.Sometimes the sleep deprivation intensifies the wd's so much.After a little more sleep,it seems a little more tolerable. Your hubby made dinner,good for you,mine NEVER has,im not exaggerating,he has never made any meal ever in our 24 years together.So i envy any women whos husband cooks a meal once in awhile.Persoanlly,i hate cooking.Ive always said if i ever win the lottery,im hiring a chef before a housekeeper. Hope you enjoyed and appreiciated your dinner,take care~KIM
Thanks Kim, yes he cooked and he really does alot of the cooking around here. Now, if I could just teach him how to clean house. Yeah, I'm down to one pill today. I took half of one this morning and another half this afternoon and I have not had to take any Immodium all day long. That is a first. Like I just posted to someone else, I know that I'm probably tapering too fast but I want to be done with this mess asap. I'll be taking the Benedryl tonight as well. I sure hope that I didn't mess up my sleep for tonight by sleeping most of the day today. Time will tell on this one. I hope that you had a great day.
Pam, I'm glad to hear you got some rest. I went back to bed at around 11 and slept till 1:30 myself. Oy, I have to polish all the walls in the house...one of the downsides to having natural wood. I did really good today, I was proud of what I got accomplished, now I only have 4 more rooms to go...then the trailer needs a good cleaning. Six more days till my Mom and Dad come, and I guess we are having my hubbys entire family over for Thanksgiving also. Thank heavens we do potluck, or I would probably have to sleep in that tub 24/7. I want to start bringing some of my kitchen decorations out to the house. I guess I'll be doing a lot of cows, because I have a collection that includes the Mary Moo's. Hubby is out making plugs for the screw holes in the table, then we have to finish it. And we are going to have to assemble the chairs, stain and finish them, so needless to say, it will be a busy few weeks for both of us.
Keep up the good work Pam, I'm so proud of you!
Kim, I hope to be in the second week of December.

Thanks Janet......... You sound like you are going to be super busy. Take Care and don't over do it. Girl, did you send me enough emails with attatchments? LMAO......... I can always count on you for those and believe it or not, I got a ton more from some of my friends and they all had attatchments. Now I've got to go and clean out my mailbox so it can hold some more mail......Whew...Sounds alot like my post office box. Aaaarrrrgghhhh, I hate to go and check that thing, and when I do get around to it, the post office always has a card in there for me to come to the counter and then they just give me a damn cardboard box full of freaking mail.
Well, I guess that I was alot looney at 2am this morning, talking about checking into rehab. Now that I think about it, that was a pretty stupid idea, considering that I'm not taking a ton of meds......I am such a cry baby and I should know by now that coming off of these damn Lortabs is really not that bad of a w/d. I still hate the way that you feel when getting off of them though and just drag out the inevitable. Take Care Babe and we'll talk soon.

sorry, about the emails, I get a flood of them at times and pass the good ones on...sometimes a lot of them are good...this was a result of my boss going through her emails and passing them on.
I'm so proud of you for only taking one lortab today...don't feel guilty if you take another 1/2 or whole one, don't need to make yourself too miserable.

Thanks Janet, that was sweet. I will try to hold off as long as I can. It has been over three hours since I took my last half and I may take another half before I go to bed. Don't worry, I'm not going to suffer too bad, hopefully. At least the tears are gone today but I'm sure they will be back, heck, I know that they will be back. Oh, I did have some tears when Oprah was on today. That was such a great show, her 20th Anniversary Show. Sidney Portier, hope I spelled that one right, was a special suprise guest. He use to live right around the corner from me when I was growing up. I would ride my bicycle by his house everyday and he was the nicest man.
Well, tomorrow my hubby is taking the car in to get it worked on. He has to be at the dealership at 730am so I will have the house to myself. Also, wouldn't you just know it, every damn time I go thru w/d somebody has to go and die or get really sick in our family. We just got a call that my husband's Uncle is having a pacemaker put in tomorrow. His heart rate got down to 20 some odd beats per minute yesterday. Dang, that is waaaayyyyy low. All of this time, I thought that man was healthier than a horse. Anyhow, I suppose my husband will be at the hospital as soon as they get finished with the car tomorrow. He'll have to go over and boss everyone there around and make sure his Uncle is getting the best treatment available. NO DEATHS during w/d this go around, please God.

from your lips to God's ears Pam!
I will say a prayer for y'all!

How many Lortab's per day were you taking if you don't mind me asking. What day is this for you as far as tapering off?
Dear Janet,
That is my dream, to have a bathroom with a tub with jets maybe a sauna area just big enough to be a actual room. Relaxing in a tub like that has to be better than taking a pill to relax and without all the guilt!!!
Move over.............I'll bring the bubbles........Shel

we bought a standard sized jet tub...it is probably about 4 inches taller than a regular tub, we have a shower enclosure and shower doors on it, so it's not like one of those really ritzy type baths, but it's enough. My body is hurting already from the work I did. Will be filling my prednisone scrip tomorrow. Probably spend some more time in the tub tomorrow after I get the floors washed up.
Just got an email, our chairs won't be getting sent out till the 21st, so I guess we'll be slumming it with the old chairs from my kitchen set. Hubby is out doing final touches on the table.

TCRN, I was taking 4-6, 7.5 mg Lortabs a day and I started tapering Friday. I am down to one pill a day now as I take one half in the morning and one half in the afternoon. I must admit that when I woke up with the crawly skin at 2am this morning I finally gave in and took another half around 3am in hopes that I would get some rest. It worked, along with the benedryl. Thanks for asking and thanks for letting me share. Oh, this go around, I've only been taking the larger dose for a few weeks. The w/d's still suck though and I am aware that I am probably tapering way too fast but I want to be done with this mess asap.
Morning Pam, hope today is better for you!
Morning Honey, I'm getting ready to go and lay back down. The ole Benedryl is kicking in. Oh, I only smoked about three ciggs yesterday. That is an accomplishment for me.......Wooooooo Hoooooooo
good for you...I'm getting together some motivation to go out and do more cleaning...get some rest, you deserve it
TCRN, where did you go? I see that you live in Alabama. I'm about an hour away from the Alabama State line....Take Care.
