We lost another Blogger
Barman earned his wings yesterday. I was very sad to learn this. I will miss him as will many others here on earth. I believe his job was finished here and now on to Help God watch over the rest of us still truding away. R.I.P. Barman a.k.a. Bryan Renaud.

Leaned about the pain I have
So for years now I've had pain in my head that wasn't quite a headache but it hurt like a headache. I also had much facial pain. I have a girlfriend I grew up with who said it sounded a lot like what she has which is TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia) So after a lot of hemming and hawing on my part I finally went to my Dr who sent me to a neurologist. Well he tells me it's not NT but it A Typical facial pain. And he said he only had one med to me to try and if that didnt work he didnt have anything more for me to try. Well I went home tried the med and had a really bad reaction. So I went back and he said well only thing we can do is Botox. (ok did you not tell me there was nothing else for me?) I walked out. (Ok hubby was with so he knew what was being said each time and he said lets go and we walked out) My girlfriend kept urging me to call her Neurologist. So finally I did. I went up there and he said yes I have A typicial facial pain with a overcast of TN. (which means it wasnt so bad at this point but could (and will) get worse) So he gave me a med and said now if this dont work we have more to try. So Ok well at first the amount they wanted me to take I couldnt do. But the 1/2 tab at bed time was helping. We are up from that now with Dr's ok. But at least he is right there with me trying to help fight the pain.
Now people if you have no idea what TN is Google it.
I will tell you one of the things I feel................Today its on my left side.......it feels as if someone took a baseball bat and hit my cheek. Now think of July 4th and fireworks. Think of the ones that go up and go pow then crackle crackle crackle......Thats what the pain across my cheek feels like but it doesnt stop. I'm lucky today its only my cheek, usually I have that pain along with sharp jabbing pain in my head. I'm gonna go take a nap.

Trigeminal neuralgia symptoms may include one or more of these patterns:
- Episodes of severe, shooting or jabbing pain that may feel like an electric shock
- Spontaneous attacks of pain or attacks triggered by things such as touching the face, chewing, speaking or brushing teeth
- Bouts of pain lasting from a few seconds to several minutes
- Episodes of several attacks lasting days, weeks, months or longer — some people have periods when they experience no pain
- Constant aching, burning feeling that may occur before it evolves into the spasm-like pain of trigeminal neuralgia
- Pain in areas supplied by the trigeminal nerve, including the cheek, jaw, teeth, gums, lips, or less often the eye and forehead
- Pain affecting one side of the face at a time, though may rarely affect both sides of the face
- Pain focused in one spot or spread in a wider pattern
- Attacks that become more frequent and intense over time
When to see a doctor
If you experience facial pain, particularly prolonged or recurring pain or pain unrelieved by over-the-counter pain relievers, see your doctor.
Causes
In trigeminal neuralgia, also called tic douloureux, the trigeminal nerve's function is disrupted. Usually, the problem is contact between a normal blood vessel — in this case, an artery or a vein — and the trigeminal nerve at the base of your brain. This contact puts pressure on the nerve and causes it to malfunction.
Trigeminal neuralgia can occur as a result of aging, or it can be related to multiple sclerosis or a similar disorder that damages the myelin sheath protecting certain nerves. Trigeminal neuralgia can also be caused by a tumor compressing the trigeminal nerve.
Some people may experience trigeminal neuralgia due to a brain lesion or other abnormalities. In other cases, surgical injuries, stroke or facial trauma may be responsible for trigeminal neuralgia.
Triggers
A variety of triggers may set off the pain of trigeminal neuralgia, including:
- Shaving
- Touching your face
- Eating
- Drinking
- Brushing your teeth
- Talking
- Putting on makeup
- Encountering a breeze
- Smiling
- Washing your face

I just give up
We raised our oldest grandson. He's 22. some shit has happened to him that has him back home with us. At the same time our youngest son is here. I am angry he is here. Every chance I get I tell him to get the hell out. Our oldest grandson has bitched to me over and over again about him being here. SO today they come home and I tell him to get out and all of a sudden our grandson turned on me and started to scream at me. Now all of a sudden he is standing up for his lazy ass uncle. He also thinks because he is buying groceries that he is now in charge of this house. more than we are. He didn't pay the mortgage and his name is NOT on the house papers in any way. It is mine and hubbies. Yet he seems to think because he buys the food he can now take over. He yells at me that he has held his tongue long enough and hes not gonna let me get away with this shit any more. WHAT THE FUCK? Here is a kid who has been bitching at me for months about his lazy ass uncle living off us and that we need to get him out and we keep trying but he just wont get out. NOW he's yelling at me. well I told him he can get the fuck out too. I am done with both of them

It's happening again
We are already into March. And this weekend is when we spring for wards turning our clocks ahead an hour. Day light savings time. Already. Yet there is about 2 maybe 3 feet of snow still on the ground and more yet to come (after all this is March)
My main gripe today isn't so much about the snow although I'd be super happy if it was gone and the ground was dried up ( no puddles or mud)
No it's my grand children.
I have several that I don't get to see.
3 (2 boys 1 girl) because their mom and dad separated and well its such a long story. But our son is living with us and as much as want them to visit I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO SUPERVISE THEM.
And then the other one who I don't see well I'm not sure why we don't see her. I'm not sure if it's her choice or her mom's but her dad (our oldest son) is well yeah lets not get into that either.
I keep trying to tell her if she come's to visit us she DOES NOT HAVE TO SEE HER DAD. We would just love to see her. After all we aren't gonna be here forever. With hubby being 66 and me 63 (and that changes when we have our birthday's this year. Well you know it could happen at any time.
I love all of my grand children.
I do get to see the other 4. (all boys) In fact they are in our lives just about every day.
MY BIGGEST WISH IS I LEAVE A BIG LASTING GOOD IMPRESSION.
I want them all to say yeah grandma and grandpa were so much fun they did this with us or we did that and then smile and tell (maybe their kids) good stories about us.
One can only hope.

Happy New Year (small rant)
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
HOPE YOUR NEW YEAR WAS A FUN AND SAFE ONE. Mr. Gab and I stayed home. We had 2 of our grandsons over but by 9:30 Mr. Gab and I were in bed and the boys were doing their own thing in the bedroom. I believe on their computers/
NOW for just a small rant:
Small children should NOT have cancer. It just is not fair. At any age it's not fair. My own mother died at a very early age because of cancer. I lost an Aunt because of Cancer. She was my mom's sister. Almost all of my mother's sisters have cancer in some form or another. I myself had cancer that they caught at an early stage.
I hear all these stories about children having cancer. CHILDREN. WHY? Why would God give you this perfect little bundle of joy just to give them cancer and possibly take them away? I Don't understand.

Merry Christmas part 2
Well went to our daughter's place where I cooked the turkey and daughter did the rest. This year we did not have any gifts for the grand kids. And that probably was ok cause they got enough from mom and her boyfriend to keep them busy for the whole year.
The boys both came home with us and will be here at least a week.
Now for the very part 2 of my story.
Last year just before Christmas we went to FL. to rest relax check out a community that we are hoping to move into and go see Mr. Gab's mom. Well, we got to see her and it was a very good thing we did for less than 1 month later she passed away.
Then in Sept we went up for a family dinner to say good bye to mom and the next morning we went out to the old farm where Mr. Gab grew up. I figured I would cry but surprisingly I did not. The place looked so different than the last several times we had been up there that there just wasn't anything that looked like the farm. Then that afternoon we went to an all family reunion where Mr Gab and one of his brother's made amends as well as I did. The thing is the night before at the family dinner Mr. Gab's sister - in- law who has disliked me from day 1 hugged me and treated me with respect. She also gave us 2 pictures of his parents. the first one when they were first married the second from later in life when I was part of the family.
And then about 2 weeks ago all of a sudden one of his older brothers (the one who shares the same birthday as he does only he is 4 years older than Mr Gab.) He got in touch in Mr.Gab. Shocked his so much. And in between all of this his cousin whom we used to spend so much time with when we were first married also got in touch with us. We went out to dinner with then for 3 whole hours.
And tonight Mr Gab's brother the one who share's his birthday called him. They talked for a good long time. He learned that his brother had had a heart attack and had to have stents put in. I know he would get mad for me saying this but there were tears in his eyes.
We need to figure out how to go visit his brother real soon.
so to sum up right now 2017 has been good and bad. We lost my mother in law whom I loved dearly.
We made up with several family members and got back in touch with a couple that we hadn't talked with for a long time. I'm hoping this mean 2018 means we will be spending time with these people that we "found" again. God Bless you all.
The boys both came home with us and will be here at least a week.
