I saw this topic on another forum and thought it would be a good idea for HOPE to do something similar.

Today I am... the idea is to post a sentence beginning with 'Today I am...' Talk about special moments, difficulties or how an experience has made a difference to you today.
It may be an opportunity share with each other the important or special things that happen to us all.

Today I am floating but dopey, dopely, floating.
I started taking Lyrica again to see if they could help this time. I had some 25mgs left so fairly quickly and easily got to 3 tims a day, but still though I should titrate up. A repeat prescription arrived after a confusion and conflab (GP would have to ask pain consultant, she wasn't available, mistakenly sent me gabapentin yada,yada ) meaning that I didn't have any for over a week but at last they arrived and I started up again.
I have just read the box and these ones are 150mgs, some repeat prescription , AND the munchies!!. . . . I have practically force fed myself nuts and raisins I've taken 2 tablets today, still thinking I needed another, decided 2 was enough and THEN discovered the dose increase. What a nit,. . . a floaty, dopey nit that is
ALWAYS READ THE BOX!!!

Today I am happy to lay out on my lounge on the deck listening to the waterfalls of our pond and gazing at the lovely flowers my husband planted around it... Not to mention having a clearer brain getting off the crazy pills ( oh Helen we understand!)

PS Amanda thanks for this and other recent posts all good ideas.

Love this topic Amanda

Today I cleaned and moved my bedroom furniture around, cleaned out the bathroom, did some laundry, baked a cake then relaxed on my new Inversion Table which I bought for myself. No after effects either from moving the furniture.
Now I'm off to have a nice warm shower and relax in front of the TV. Definitely doing a whole lot more these days. I live for today and don't worry about tomorrow.

Today I am sitting here wishing all of my PNE friends were doing as well as I am. Some of you are truly amazing to be so upbeat despite all you have been through and are going through! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Did some high intensity training today. Never thought I would be able to do half as much as I can now.

Getting over two crazy busy days at work! Yesterday!! Three reystyles two sets of highlights three cut and blows!! Major pain flare!!!today! Only day I work full day! Dragged myself up at seven thirty! Felt crap(to much wine to help pain?? Not to busy day but needy clients! Off to bed soon! Burning like the devil up my ars..! But hey hoo another day with a functioning pne sufferer(my penance for going on hols in eight days time!( the world stops if my clients don't grab me before I go!
Should I pack in and go on benifits(I have got a degree of inability, an iliostomy! Not a chance! Distraction distraction!

Today I am groggy/dopey cause I grabbed the wrong bottle of meds...went for gabapentin but ended up taking pain med. that I had taken 2 hours before. Threw up what I could. Now my sis is taking over my med distribution...

Today I swept floor tried to clean and straighten house. Mostly just laying in bed on side with tens unit on for most of the day. Just trying to take it easy so I can stand all day at work tomorrow but hey....at least I can still work.

Today I am enjoying the sunshine streaming through the blinds as I lazily and happily remember what a wonderful day yesterday was.
Most of my fantastic family spent the afternoon in Cleadon park for a birthday picnic party for my 6 year old 'nephew' (my nieces son)
So much food, and drink! although I was driving .
We played games, pass the parcel (of course) etc , including my favourite. . . . ROUNDER'S!!. . . . . I was picked last but can still bat OK.
Tilly, our puppy (although 6 months now) was a star and always came back to Tilly COME!! even though she was desperate to make forever friends with every dog that came into the park. You meet and chat to a lot of people with such a sociable pretty puppy .
Up at 4 am in considerable pain but the drugs do work and much improved
Take care all
Helen

Today I am wondering why it seems like I've had PN for years when it's been only 9 months. Is...time...slowing...down?
