Lil Winston is doing fine thank you!! Yes I am excited too and have been curious about the number so far too!!

hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know whats going on. I hurt my back at work and will be off for the next few days. I'm pretty drugged up right now so i'll post more tomorrow, and I should be able to get caught up on a head count for the meet-up. I also will be in touch with Janie Doyle because she is going to help advertise about the meetup with her cincinnati meetup group. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Ashley & Bandit

Hey Ashley,
So sorry about your back:(....that is always so frustrating. What is it that you do ....I may already know this, but I cant remember. Well the one good thing is ;), BANDIT time! He can help you recup!! Enjoy the little guy...he will be good company!!

I am an admin assistant in an office. a shipment from Dell came in and one box was over 100lbs and I had to move it so I decided to rock it back and forth while moving it forward and in the process I pulled a muscle in my back and it is now shooting throughout my back. It got really bad last night. And get this I dont get paid for being off work, I only have 2 days vacation left and I am using those but because I got hurt at work short term or long term dissability will not cover it and workers comp wont pay me until I've been off for 7 days. So now i'm losing money. I'm broke as it is, I have hardly any food in my house, last night Billy picked me up some pizza rolls so I have something to eat while i'm at home. I dont know how we are going to make it with the bills we have and me not working. I will have to go back on monday even if the doctor says not to. I dont have a choice. Anyways I needed to vent.

Lisa- thanks for posting the pictures and thanks for the wonderful time tonight at dinner celebrating your birthday! You'll have to tell everyone about the beautiful birthday sombero :)!!!

Ashley- hate to hear about your back. Hope it's better soon.

Ashley,

Have you tried a heating pad and something like Ben-gay or Apercreme?
I wrenched my back a few months ago and I don't even know what I did, but I woke up and I could barely move! After using the creme for a few days on the sore area, it really helped!
I hope you are feeling better!
Theresa

Ashley, I am so sorry to hear about your back, I hope that you feel better soon! I am sure Bandit was happy to have you home!

I just posted a tread about my son braking his arm. I am so upset that this happened to him. He got injured last night and did not tell me he got hurt, a little girl from across the street came over to ask how he was and that is how I saw that he was hurt. I washed him off and bandaged him up checked over and he just said his head hurt. he went to bed after taking Tylenol and when he got up this morning his right arm was swollen up! and it looked deformed, kind of bent, so off to the ER. I got their at 9:45am and we did not get home till 2:00pm:eek: He goes to the Bone Dr on Monday to get a different cast on. they have him in a splint for know because of how swollen up he is. He is upset that he can't go into the pool! He has been hurt before and not tell us, he had a high tolerance for pain...Don't know were he get's that from;)

I hope that you all have a good weekend! I might go to my mom's again with all the dogs, plus Nana wants to see her poor li'l Lincoln and give him some loving;) I am also hoping mom will put Jeter's hair up for me, I broke my hand at the beginning of August and I haven't been able to brush my fur babies hair, and the boy's have no clue how to put Jeter's pony tail in. So my Yorkies look like rag a muffins:eek: I really feel like a bad mom now:rolleyes:

I thought I would mention a really cute pet place that opened near me!

It's called "Pretty Pooch Boutique" and it's in Waynesville, for anyone who is close. It's right on Main St. where all the antique and gift shops are located.
I stumbled across it last weekend. It's an adorable shop with really cute clothes, beds, grooming, harnesses, toys, etc..
I think it only opened a month or so ago!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm on my way to Columbus for the day, hoping to find some cute dog places there!

Ashley, check is in the mail today! Sorry for the delay!

Theresa

hey everyone. I'm still not back to work. I'm off until at least Thursday this week. I have to go for a MRI tomorrow because they think I have a Herniated disc. I have to keep icing my back, i'm not allowed to put heat on it. I'm going insane just sitting at home, although i'm so happy to be with Bandit. He's really taking care of me, when I get in alot of pain he comes up to me and licks my face, he's trying to make me feel better. He's such a sweetie. I dont know what I'd do without him. I'm so drugged up I have a hard time seeing sometimes, my whole body is tingly. Anyways I hope everyone is doing ok, and thanks to everyone for the support!!

Reese1: The lady that owns Pretty Pooch Boutique has a little store in Ceasars Creek Flea Market also, she has some really great stuff!!

Adorame: I hope your son's arm heals quick, I cant believe he could deal with that pain and not say anything. Thats crazy.

I hope everyone is doing good!!

Ashley & Bandit

Ashley,

I'm sorry that your back isn't any better, I hope the MRI gets the correct diagnosis! I'm sure Bandit is taking good care of you! Positive thoughts coming your way!!

I had no idea they had a store in the flea market, I've actually never been to that flea market before. I've only been to Trader's world. The store in Waynesville is adorable!

Rest and follow Dr.'s orders and I hope you feel better soon!!

Theresa

Ashley - I am so sorry about your back. Hopefully, a week of rest will help. That's great that Bandit is being a comfort to you. I bet he is loving it, that you are home.

Adorame -How did it go for your son at the doctor's office today? So now you have two people with broken bones in your family....Wow....Hope everyone is helping each other. Bless you both.

My son could not get his arm casted yet..he has an open wound on his arm and they will cast it next week. I have to keep him inactive till next Monday. they have to X ray it to make sure it is still lined up and healing, if not then they will have to do surgery. He broke both the bones in his lower arm. Lincoln has ADHD and I have to keep him rested so he does not due any further damage....wish me luck;)

And Yes I also have a broken hand. I have 3 more weeks to go with my injury, it's healing up very well. My other 3 boy's and Hubby are being great sports helping us out;)

I live in southeastern Ohio. Little town of Gallipolis on the Ohio River just across the river from W.Va. Anyone familiar with this area?

carli: Welcome!! I know where Gallipolis is! I live in Fairfield Ohio, i'm a few hours away from you.
