  1. Nooo, my friend was going to make it for me!

    I've got a bit of a headache, but I'm getting less achy every day.
    I have my team match tomorrow and asked XBF to go feed me some balls this morning since I haven't played in over a week. I also wanted to know how my stamina was. I did well. It was very windy, but I hit a bunch of balls and I felt alright.

    When I got home, I took Bobby outside. He was a good boy until he took off up into the mango tree. I guess that's his new thing! He was way up there - at least 10 feet! I finally managed to stop the leash so he couldn't get up any higher and once he stopped, he looked a bit confused and wasn't quite sure how to get down! He managed to get down to about 6 feet up, lost his balance and hopped down. He was just fine, but I picked him up and took him inside which he didn't like. He wanted to stay outside and have fun!

  2. I just met my tennis team for lunch after practice (I didn't go to practice). Had Sprite and clam chowder.
    So far so good!

  11. GD, checking in late today. It's OK to take Tylenol just make sure it's not on an empty tummy. If your headache persists beyond a week to ten days (about the usual length of caffeine withdrawal), please get it checked out.
    Keep up the good work!

  12. I don't have a headache yet today!

    TL, it said on the meds that headaches are a side effect of the Prevacid. I'm guessing the headache is a combination of caffeine withdrawal and the side effect from th Prevacid.

  14. GD, I'm glad your head's not bothering you today - yay! Let's hope that's the end of the headaches. You've had an awful lot to deal with all at once, but you are doing *really* well. We are all cheering for you, and Georgie sends headbonks.

  15. Yes GD, but having a side effect froma medication may indicate that you need a different med. There are others that they can switch you to that will not give you a headche. Worth checking with your doc , as they will likely have you on this kind of medication for a while.
    Best wishes.
    Tell Bobby that my duckie couple just hatched thier 11 babies.

  16. Ooooh, he'll be excited!!!

    I'm having some of the other side effects mentioned as well :(

  17. GD, glad no headache today but bummed to hear you are having side effects from the Prevacid. Can't anything ever be easy? Sending happy thoughts your way! Hugs and scritches to Bobby and Mi!

  18. Thanks Molly!

    Day 7 without caffeine today - maybe I'll make it!!!!

  19. Been thinking about you daily! I am so happy that you are feeling better. Headaches are horrible. Are you still off coffee? Hard but worth it. I still drink iced tea and when I try to quit all caffeine I get a terrible headache. Therefore, I'm still drinking iced tea. I know that you will be superfine which makes me smile!

  20. Just had to add: you are the "bestest" patient I have ever seen!!

  21. Awwww, thanks TL and thanks PT!
    Yep, not a single drop of caffeine and no chocolate. I reward myself with 4-5 gummi bears every night. I suck on them to make them last longer - sad, I know!

    I'm trying to use this to get a bit healthier. Healthier eating schedule and not making meals out of caffeine!

  22. Good for you, GD! Change is never easy, but you are coming through like a Champ!

  23. GD, I am so PROUD of you as well! Not so sure I could have been as disciplined. Thinks to self, hmmm, maybe that is why I have had 7 ulcers! Follow GD's example MC!

  24. Yesterday and today, I had lunch with my team mates at a restaurant. Yesterday I had clam chowder. Today while they had burgers, salads and sandwiches, I had sprite and a baked potato.
    I usually meet my doubles partner for coffee at Dunkin Donuts before out matches. Today we met and while she had coffee, I had decaffeinated tea (it was an awful replacement for coffee, I have to admit) and a plain bagel. The clerk there knows me and asked when I walked up if I was getting a large coffee. Tempting - but no!

  25. I know it's hard, GD. When I was diagnosed with ulcers, I was totally addicted to coffee. It took about a month to get over that, really. The headaches were awful! Once I was able to begin to drink tea things got better. Hang in there. It's short term and you need to be healthy!

  26. GD, if the Prevacid is giving you problems, can you try Prilosec? I think they are similar, and Prilosec doesn't give me any side effects..... just a suggestion... glad to hear you're doing OK.
