Moving along...

We've been moving 

things 

into the new place

slowly

since my last blog post.

Feels good 

to move at a 

relaxing pace.

~ So far we've Sold ~

treadmill

modern/vintage side table

&

pie safe

i've decided to sell 2 wool rugs

made in india

 ( 1 large 10'10"x 7'9" & 1 smaller 5x7')

because

the colors

(gorgeous earth tones of greens, creams, cocoa, a little red clay, slate blue & mustard)

will no longer go with the 

decor

i have in mind.

(i'll miss them)

i mentioned them in my last 

craigs-list

ad

(no photos)

& 

received a call for photos this morning

which i took

but

i walked out of the new apartment

without my camera.

(we brought the rugs there so i could decide if they would work) 

i had 

an 

exciting day

thinking about all of the things

i want to do with our new home.

Jamie shut my camera off

(because i wasn't paying attention)

and told me 

"not to forget it"

but guess what?...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my back pain has progressed 

onto

strange

new

happenings.

i started getting this tingling 

(pins & needles)

in my left upper arm,

 shoulder & face 

a week or so ago.

it then started in my left calf,

then my right.

then it was my whole body!

Today

it was gone

until

Jamie did my massage tonight.

it came right back.

i've done some reading online about it

and found

that it most likely has a lot to do with the nerve endings/damaged nerves

in my spine

(the bone spurs, bulging disc, arthritis, etc.)

frick-n scary

though.

Spine institute appt is coming up soon

(april 8th)

Jamie & I 

just hit our

11 year

anniversary

on friday.

still feeling  

the love...

Our time has come ~

good things are finally happening ~

things we've wished 4 ~

 have come 2

fruition!  

We've talked about an area that would

be perfect for both of us

to move

(thought it was out-of-reach)

 it's 

our new home!

we wanted a 
flat

with washer/dryer hook-ups

(we're both tired of 3 levels)

we got it!

a little brook runs through the yard

(we're on the backside of the building)

NICE 

little plus!

The trees are so close

we will hear

the birds singing

every morning.

~ smile ~

we're on the 3rd floor

so

we'll be 

up-there

with 

those birdies

on the deck

enjoying 

our

morning coffee.

one of our favorite

grocery stores is within walking distance.

the movie theater is practically in our backyard.

shopping is all around us

~ yet ~

semi
country

feel

community.

___________________________

it's been another rough week.

i had a bad episode at 6am thursday morning.

an ER visit took place.

upon waking 

my bp was 153 over 98.

 when the EMT arrived

it was 158 over 112

pulse was 112 bpm.

my doctor told me the day b4

"to take valium for the muscle spasms; i didn't need my

klonopin

(that i take for anxiety to sleep, due to pain)

because

it was basically the same thing"

(similar, but NOT the same - valium is a muscle relaxer - klonopin is for anxiety)

i told her "i thought i should take them together

(like i was told to do by another doc over a month ago, and worked well)

because i've been taking it 4 so long

i can't just stop!"

but she said 

"No

you don't need both."

so i went against what i new to be right.

after 5 hours in the 

ER

a good dose of 

morphine & liq valium

i finally came home.

with

ANOTHER 

script

for vicodin.

i decided 

after 4 different answers

from 1 doctor & 3 nurses in the ER

and the one from

my doctor

about these meds

i will do 

what

my instincts 

told me to do to begin-with.

take what i know!

the vicodin will be kept around in-case

of an emergency

but 

will most likely

get tossed

in the end.

holds breath until april 8th for the spine institutes visit...

PS ~ 

Jamie went out and purchased a huge ~ stiff foam wedge slant pillow thingy

for me to lay back on

(which works great for my back)

&
an 

oh-so-soft

(but perfectly firm enough)

neck pillow

that can hold heat or ice.

They work perfectly together.
