Fic Of The Week - Week Twenty Four

[badly_knitted]

The last week has certainly flown by! Hope everyone enjoyed last week's fic. I know I did! For this week, I've picked two very different fics - a reel_torchwood fic and a CoE fixit. I felt like a bit of variety, lol!

The first one is iolo1234 's take on Tootsie, the Dustin Hoffman film, using our lovely Torchwood characters. Originally posted in February 2011, it's

I just read part one of "Once Lost" by jax25. It is so good so far! I am going to try to read all the chapters. There are only six and I am drawn in already. :D

[badly_knitted]

Good luck! I'm reading the other one first, so I'll have to wait a few days.

[debmommy22]

Ok, is the other one good? It sounded like fun if I remember correctly. I will have to go back and read your post again. Things are really tough again and I've had an awful start to my day. My memory is shot

SOMETHING has to work! You're on so many meds now, it wouldn't surprise me if the problems are being caused by two of them reacting badly to each other. I know some meds have bad reactions when taken with certain others. It's so unfair though - you take something to deal with one problem and it causes another. I wish there was more I could do instead of just lending an ear and sympathising. Not fond of hydrocodine myself - I've been on it before, back while I had gallstones and was waiting for surgery, but I prefer to avoid it. Then again, I don't like taking painkillers anyway. I take paracetomol if I'm getting a migraine, which is silly because I know it doesn't work, but sometimes my headaches aren't migraines and then it works, so I sometimes try, just in case

[debmommy22]

You do so much just listening to me and being my friend. I know I cause Michael to get so stressed and upset about me + having to deal with his Scizophrenia + all the debt and getting our house fixed. I am surprised he is not back in the mental hospital himself. It has been so hard on him and I wish I could just shut-up about myself. I am going to try not to talk to him so much about it. Oh no! That means I will tell you more. lol! RUN

I hope what you've been given will stop the itching as well as stopping the swelling. Allergic reactions can be nasty.

I'm glad I can help a bit just by listening, and I hope the candles do some good too.

*careful hugs* Love, J xxx

Thanks

I've made it to halfway through season 2 of Stargate SG-1! There are 10 seasons and 2 TV movies, so I have quite a way to go yet =)

NCIS is on in half an hour, so I'm getting myself settled to watch that!

Hope you get a referral to a pain clinic. It would be good if you could have pain meds some other way instead of pills. Like me, you take so many you must rattle! I'm managing to keep more or less on schedule with mine today. They do help, though they don't fix everything. At least I feel more positive these days.

*hugs* Love, J xxx

I'm glad you are enjoying your Stargate SG-1 shows. Wow! You have a lot left to go. That is always fun! I hope you enjoyed NCIS too. I still try to catch them on re-runs when I have time. I can't wait for the new ones in the fall. :D

Yeah I hope I get the referral soon too. It maybe a LONG wait. :( I feel like I am wearing sand paper against my bits....sorry to be graphic. Yes I am so tired of all the pills I take. Just sucks! Of course things could always be worse...I guess....lol!

I'm glad your pills are helping. I want you to be happy and healthy.
:D

Healthy for me is unlikely, the best I can hope for is to have my problems partly under control, but that's better than I had before so that's good enough that I'm content.

Yes NCIS was great last night, I really enjoyed it. i hope to watch some more Stargate this afternoon while I stitch, so I have that to look forward to. the weather is better today too, at least it is at the moment. Rain is forecast for this afternoon, but right now the sun is shining and there's some blue sky, which makes me feel a bit more awake. Rainy, overcast weather makes me lethargic =(

[debmommy22]

Well I am glad you are at least better. Life can so suck with our problems. You have a very positive outlook like Michael does. I wonder if I could get a transfusion of positive outlook from you or Michael. lol!

I hope you enjoyed your shows and cross-stich today, and I am glad your weather was nice today. That always makes me feel better too. I hope it didn't decide to rain on you later. Sometimes I like rain at night when I sleep, but during the day I usually feel better with more sunshine coming through the windows.

[badly_knitted]

It's almost 7pm and still no rain though it has clouded over. Guess we got lucky!

I did enjoy my stitching and Stargate - 4 episodes =)

The last was he Fifth Race which is one of my favourite early eps, I always get a little misty eyed at that one.

I do try to stay positive, but it's not always easy. I'm not exactly an optimist, I just try to deal with the life I'm stuck with as best I can. It's better than the alternative!

[debmommy22]

I'm glad you try to stay positive. I'm not doing too well at that today.

My rash is back just when I thought we had it figured out. I am going to keep reducing the antidepressant and take my pain pill because I still can't function without them at all. The pain is unbearable. The pills make me depressed, but don't have a choice. If I still have the rash after being completely off the antidepressant then I will know it is the pain pills too...probably?...and by then I hope I will be referred to the pain clinic. If I still then have the rash...I will kill myself!...ok, no I won't, but I will have to start eliminating other drugs or see an allergist. I just don't know anymore? Maybe I am doing it to myself. Maybe it is just stress hives. I am not in a good place right now and I need to do something fun.

[badly_knitted]

Something is causing the rash, and it seems too extreme to be just stress induced, so hopefully it'll become clear soon which of your meds is causing it. This really has been going on too long. Doctors are supposed to make people better, not worse. I hope you get a referral to the clinic quickly. I wish I knew what to suggest. *hugs very carefully*

I hope you can find something fun to do or even to think about to take your mind off all your discomforts for a little while. So sorry you're hurting and feeling down.

Love, J xxx

Thank you! I just had dinner and I am watching a "House" show on my DVD set, but I would rather have NCIS. I am going to look into buying them off Amazon.com or ebay, whichever have the best prices

[badly_knitted]

I am thinking good thoughts at you, sending healing vibes and praying for all I'm worth! I'm certain that you will get through this, it's just a matter of getting there.

Hope you can find NCIS at a good price, I'll keep my fingers crossed! Love and hugs, J xxx
