I don't know whether to say that's good or bad. A spider bite but at least you got an antibiotic in the meantime. I was afraid it was shingles. And it must not be a brown recluse bite.
That's why I am going to the doctors. I wasn't totally comfortable with the clinic. I had never been there before.

Thanks, glad you and your father in law's blood clots worked out. I just got done dealing with 2 clots a few months ago when they took the filter out. I am still going to my doctor on mon. because of my diabetes.
Thank you very much. Being I'm only turning 21 I never expected to have blood clots but I guess age doesn't matter.. how did the filter work out? My doctor has mentioned it..I as well am fighting with diabetes. My doc said I can try to reverse it by losing a crap ton of weight but it that is alot harder than I anticipated.. since then I have lost 40 pounds.. still can't eat sugar. Makes me very very sick. Guessing it's my blood sugar going out of whack. I hope your appointment on Monday goes great Ray! Prayers being sent your way for all health problems. God bless you. You're definitely a fighter! Going through all of this I got very depressed. I'm still in a funk. You seem to be in high spirits and it is nice knowing even after everything you're still happy.

I know, isn't it great? @Ray--Opo is an inspiration. We all have days (or weeks, or years) of being in a funk, but just being able to come hang out in the CDR makes you feel better. Always among friends here.

It is great! Hearing all of your guys' stories makes me see that when it gets hard just keep pushing forward. I love the CDR everyone is so nice and caring. I definitely feel for Ray. He seems so happy even though he's going through a crappy period, with his health. Thank you guys for all listening to me and being so welcoming.

I think you are more of a fighter then what you think. You pray. And you've lost 40 lbs. I'll bet you've accomplished even more then that. My advice is when the funky funk mode tries to set in think of all those things that you've already defeated and thank God for it. Sometimes that's how I get through the night and go back to sleep peacefully.

Thank you Cathie! I will definitely try that. Sometimes it's so hard to get past the funk to see the good. You're right if I think of all I have accomplished it should help stay out of the funk. Thank you so much again. Sometimes all you need is to hear a few nice words

Out all morning kayaking and following Baltimore’s Tall Ship Pride II arriving back in to home port. Giot a bunch of cool pix, not sure which one to share with you all.

Here the Pride firing her cannons in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor

Your pictures are so vivid that I can feel the water rippling from the cannon fire!

Don’t pick just one:)))

Hi roommates! I have a horrible day looming ahead. All self-inflicted, naturally. (And no, I’m not drinking tonight. Or hosting a kiddie party tomorrow). I’ve signed up for Krav Maga, an Israeli self-defense course. [emoji849] Fitness is an F word, I know...

Now that’s really cool. I’m going to have to google the method though... never heard of such[emoji13]

I am not sure TFO is playing nicely with all those photos.

Here’s the Tower again just in case

Everything we visited was free admission!

What a fulfilling day! I really appreciate you sharing your travels. Many of these places / things I would not see or be educated on otherwise..
you deserve a nice lie-in with the rainy day. Favorite hot beverage with a book maybe?

Yes...and I will keep trying to listen to my own preaching... truly a few nice words are wonderful and I really wish we could all do that for each other. That doesn't always happen though...so you have to not let unkind words or your thoughts or circumstances keep you from smelling the roses. Tonight if I wake up and can't sleep I will keep trying to listen to my big fat mouth.
