Have any of you switched over yet? How about another question....lolol... just when is it changing over for everyone....does anyone know?

DianaB 01-25-2012 08:08 PM

I don't have any idea!!

Janet 01-26-2012 06:59 AM

That's not helpful Diana...lol.

I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and change over and have it set up or wait and be blindsided.

DianaB 01-26-2012 09:20 AM

I'm going to just wait until they MAKE me change!!! Personally I'd prefer that they went back to how it was when I first joined. It was so simple and easy to get around!! Can you tell that I'm not crazy about change either?

Janet 01-26-2012 10:00 AM

Yes...I can...it's that age thing again....LOL

I think I read somewhere where it changes in the next few days. I like it! It's easy to look at and if there is something on there that you don't want, just delete it. It's really easy:)

If I can sit longer at the computer without pain, I may go ahead and change too. Maybe...lol

Janet, it's not good for you to sit for very long at the computer. Think of your head as a bowling ball (head) on a stick (vertebrea in your neck). When you sit for long periods and look at the computer, especially when you are leaning your head forward looking down, that bowling ball puts lots of strain on that stick. After a while the stick can bend so much it becomes damaged. In your case the cushions between the vertebrae bones are pushing out and are touching a nerve or allowing the bone to touch a nerve. You want to keep all the strain off that stick right now.

Lol! I know that sounds dumb, but it is true. So it's probably not a good idea to be on the computer for very long. Unless that is, you have a set-up like Gary's. He has his computer hooked up to a 32 inch TV. He has a Lazy Boy rocker in front of the TV and a lap tray foe his keyboard, so he can be on the computer and lean his head back on the recliner headrest which keeps the pressure off his neck. Gary has the exact same issue as you but he is lucky that the injections help him because with all his health problems, they do NOT want to do surgery on him.

I have changed over too. Janet I hope your feeling better. Have you lhad your MRI yet? Your in my prayers as always.

judy 02-01-2012 04:36 PM

Janet, you cannot sit at the computer! Gayle, as always, is right. My chiro was really tough on me for that! You have the ipad. Can you use it on a recliner likie Gary?

I never lay down without something under my neck. A rolled up towel will do. I found handmade bean bags here that can be microwaved. It makes such a difference it is amazing! It takes the pressure off of your neck, no matter how soft your pillow is. I also have a chiro flow pillow, which uses water to conform to your head and neck and shoulders. It is so good!

Janet 02-04-2012 03:58 PM

I do have a rice bag that I can put in the microwave...but I'm wanting the swelling to go down, wouldn't cool do that better? I get so confused on what do to with pain...heat or cool. Wish I had Gayle's training and know how.

Also, I do sit in the recline with my laptop on my lap. I just sit comfortably and type. Doesn't seem to hurt, but I don't stay on it for very long. and I do stop and rest with my arms on the arm rests for awhile. I promise ladies....I won't over do it. :)

DianaB 02-07-2012 11:57 AM

Don't you love being "mothered"? We love you, Janet!!!

Janet 02-07-2012 02:06 PM

Yes, I do...if feels so good to be cared about. I love all of you too! More than you can imagine.

Janet 03-05-2012 05:00 AM

I decided to switch over to Timeline before they do it for me. I've been working on it for a few days and think I have it the way I want it. Thought it best I could go through a few things and make sure all was good, no family drama, etc.

I'm still working on it but it will go public March 8th. I decided to cave in and do it myself instead of letting FB have the control....lol

gja1000 03-05-2012 06:23 PM

I don't have any time to "work on it" so I guess it'll just be what it will be when the time comes. LOL!
