I told J to have a beer when he told me they finished early today. He said he was going to stay away from all the bad stuff this weekend. He said they are in for some serious PT next week. My husband seems to be glued to the Military Channel here lately. I mentioned that J will be home on Dec. 18 or around there. He said he didn't want him to come home because it was too hard to see him leave. Dad is having a hard time still.. :) Hard to let go ladies and yet excited for J at the same time!! If that even makes sense!! Hormones!! LOL

Carol, If C has liberty this weekend could he rest,hydrate and nourish?! Nighquil has come out with a viral med to ward off the side affects, just a thought...

I received a text from J. They actually finished up early today!

I have thrown my back out several times and although mine is purely muscular in nature, it can be a week from hell. Literally. I had problems with my sciatic nerve when I was pregnant at 38 with our little one. Ouch. I really do feel for anyone with chronic pain and hope that modern medicine can develop a little faster to treat it.

Becky, I'm so happy you're feeling better!! Chronic sciatica is the result of a disc blow out at L4-5 S1it cut away at the sciatica.

JudyB- chronic pain isn't any fun at all! I thank God that all of my many ailments are treatable at this point (I also have polycythemia vera, a blood disorder). Things may change in the future, but I can't dwell on what may be. I'm feeling somewhat better after my nap, but not up to par just yet. Thank goodness it's a weekend!

Becky, I too had a pain flare up since Wednesday after the 5 hour trip in the car to deliver T to CP. I relish these pain flare-ups because they are like a snowball racing down hill...gaining momentum as each hour passes and no pain reliever in my home arsenal would touch it. I carefully considered going to the hospital for a stronger reliever but thought different at the thought of sitting in an uncomfortable chair for who knows how long...to suffer more for relief was not on the itinerary...so I watched my programs on the television until completely exhausted in the wee hours and fell asleep. Well I was pleased to find out that God had answered my prayers when I woke up the pain was set back to normal chronic pain.

I took half the school day off because I feel terrible! Had horrible migraine last night, plus I'm battling sciatica. Makes for a long day :( Anyway, I too was a stay at home mom-kinda- did home daycare of 12 years while my kids were little. When my youngest was 3, he went to preschool and I helped out there. Then I taught the 3 year old class when he was in the 4 yo class. I started at the school when he started kindergarten, so we've never really been apart! Next year he changes buildings and I will be lost! J texted me last night just to say he'll call Sat. He's tall for our family at 6' 1''. Large feet- size 15. Hubby is only 5' 9" and I'm 5' 5". Boy, I'm windy today! I need to get a nap before the boys come home from school. I will have to ask J what he knows about graduation...it will impact our travel plans in a BIG way!

Chieff88 - The Tall gene runs in our family also! J is the only one that didn't get it and he's actually pretty tall at 5'11"!! My younger son is 6'5" with a size 14 shoe. I didn't hear from J last night but I checked Facebook this morning and he had a new status that didn't sound like he was liking it too much. I'm sure once they get into the maneuvers and actual training he'll like it better. We did a lot of camping and hiking while he was growing up, so he loves the outdoor stuff. I know the training they're facing doesn't compare to a civilian weekend camping trip, but it's more the challenge of new things that J thrives for. So yes, the waiting around getting briefed is not his cup of tea! He did say they only get about 2 hours for down time.

Happy Friday everyone!!

P-Bear'sMom, T circled the 18th of December on my blotter.

OH, I heard from Katie T's gf she said T text her "Not much extra time...at least he will have the weekends off. The environment is like a mixture of both bc and a school, but fmtb makes school look like a vacation". Any of you get that from your Corpsman?!
