There have been a number of people bed ridden of late. due to illness,surgery or progression of disease. I propose that we have the first 365 pajama party, so that they can see that we are thinking of them..
If you want to join the party, put on your P.J's and snap away.
You can tag it "p.j-party"
Bring a friend if you want, or a favorite pet, but come on, get comfy and have some fun......
i don't wear PJs,Nikki..haha:)..no seriously.!!.anyway,are you kinda sick.?.My arms,wrist ,back,neck,shoulder are killing me intensely..too.Went 3 days in a row to my chiro and have also physical therapy yesterday..still..feeling like hell..i will try to find a "sarong." here to wrap myself up so i can join this pj's.Feel better and happy Thanksgiving to u all !!..
lol I thought about that... that A LOT of people dont wear P.J's . oh well, they can still join in.
And as for me being well... I have chronic pain and fatigue, If I over do physical activity on one day.. it will take me 3 days to get over it. This cold weather we have been having up here is very very painful to me, other than just being cold... I was on the sofa today with a heat pack, 2 blankets and hat and gloves, and it felt like I was outside in the snow. Ed and Avery were walking round in short sleeves... lol
By lunch time I felt a bit more human. lol
Aside from that Im fine. I take a wonderful drug that helps me get through the day, just sometimes have some break through days.. and it looks like the cold is the trigger...."
Where does your pain come from.? over doing it or a disease?
@spaceman ,Well the problem with nudity Martin is that this time of year for people over this side of the world is cold and most of us have lost our tans.. and I for one do not want to see pasty white saggy bits... its bad enough that I have to see my own when I shower.... and yes I shower.. once a year whether I NEED to or not!!!! lol
@ssmiley6017 nikki is in chronic pain, so she is allowed to speak on behalf of those who are injured. If it were perfectly healthy person starting this discussion I would see your point.
@ssmiley6017 If we're all mortal and decaying anyway, then why distinguish between the injured and abled-bodied? No one said you couldn't have an opinion. I can have mine too.
@moonpig@ssmiley6017@nikkers I think we all have different ways of showing respect and support. As a person with a disabling neuromuscular disease, one that has stripped me of so much, and given me chronic and often severe pain, I find this "pj party" idea quite sweet and inclusive, and not one bit disrespectful. I've never met nikki, but i adore her, and look forward to her witty, wacky, and sometimes demented posts and comments.
@ssmiley6017 Stephen I am one of those people that at least 3 to 4 times a month I am BED RIDDEN, at times I can barely look after my 5 year old son. He is a sweet boy that has more energy than 3 kids put together, and I CAN BARELY stand to hold his hand while I HAVE to take him to school, I respect your opinion, and I am not offended by what you have spoken, as you may have some one in your life that is worse of than me. This Feb I had back surgery to fuse S/5 - L1. I spent 5 weeks in bed. and now I am seeing Pt twice a week to "fix" my shoulder that is frozen , I can not move my left arm above my head, and they are looking into surgery to sort that out. When I have my "pain days" as we call them here. I can not hold my son. play with him. cook for him. or even listen to his prattle. If I had one even bone of disrespect for any of my fellow 365 in the same condition or worse or even lesser situation than I, I would certainly shrug of your comment, I but I feel that I am in the right position to post this.
If someone is offended, then I say dont read, or post.
Personally I feel my doll series of photos if more offensive then this one..
each to is own I guess.
For over 20 years I have cared for people with special needs. both physically and with ID, and if that has taught me one thing, is that they do not want my pity but my respect.
I would rather be bed ridden every day, with what is wrong with me. Than fully able bodied and not have a clue.
We deal with the hand that we are dealt with.
@spaceman Martin, No need to shut up. If I thought I could get away with it, I would have done a Toga party, lol but seeing I have to be respectful (hard for me believe it or not) I thought p.j's would be the way to go . lmao!!!
I have a day off work on Friday, so I may very well plant myself in bed and partake in some pj goodness. My only concern is that I did a self portrait today...would two days of my head be a bit too much? I could wear a mask perhaps?
@nikkers I think it's a fine idea. BTW I had frozen shoulder last year, which lasted about a year. Could not lift arms either! But it has just miraculously went away, despite PT which only made things worse. They were threatening surgery for me too. I hope you hang in there!
I think this is a lovely idea and very supportive. Is it wrong for people to show solidarity for chemo patients by shaving their heads also, so the cancer patient doesn't feel so alone in being hairless? Are they poking fun, or being disrespectful? Absolutely not. And I have the right to bring it up because I have been treated for cancer. And I can tell you that when the chemo kept me in bed, or the surgery kept me resting, I would have greatly appreciated this kind of show of support. Bless you Nikki for doing this. I think it is tremendously sweet and thoughful. And it sounds like you oughta know whats needed and helpful. If I can work up my nerve I will join you in your Pj party. :)
@justkariherself , Thanks KariLyn. My father died of brain tumors and lung cancer 10 years ago, and my grandfather of skin cancer two years before my dad.. my mother was treated for throat cancer last Christmas, and a good friend in Australia is now on her 4th chemo treatment for Breast cancer... so I support you and am so very glad you are here.
Aside from my "pain days" I also have diabetes and an auto immune disease, which bring about a whole other load of symptoms that have me laid up. So If you put all my troubles together Im a bit of a mess lmao. But I HAVE to keep getting up and going.... life is up and down, good and bad.. happy and sad. And for all the bad days I have, I think they are evened out with all the amazing days I have ... :))
xoxoxxox to all of you on 365..
YOU LADIES ROCK...... and look at those babies you have , and that snoopy cup is way to cool!!!!
Thank you for coming, turn up the music and lets party......xoxoxoxo

Any way I can get it here without it being a pic for a day?
Cheers all. my private PJ party happening soon ... it's 11pm. nighty night all.

Ooh it's does sound like a good day! I love jammy days, I think we all need to have more of them lol. Okie doke, off to try and get a decent photo of myself hehe
So I went to work today, and when I got home, I took some photos of Avery, when I went to upload them,, I found this picture... I think I can see the camera remote in the camera guys hand....
I may have to start taking these guys to work to stop all these horse play!!!
@amz87 Amy, welcome and to your little friends too... lol the look on your face is priceless. You know you have done something very naughty...lol
Come on in.. drinks and nibbles on the side table. Dont let Happy Ball see Elmo. it may be more than he can bare..
Thanks for coming enjoy yourself...
So the idea of the pajama party led to the photo of Rocco and me which led to me thinking of Pink's song "Get the Party Started".
Come on, let's get everyone rocking through the hard times. My health is good today, but I had breast cancer and a double mastectomy almost five years ago. I'm here to encourage anyone suffering from anything to hang in there. Life is hard at times, but I'll take the hard times above ground any day over missing out on my son growing up.
The holidays are here, so "Get the Party Started"!
@pinktornado39 . You and Rocco, totally like rock dude... Thanks for coming.. lol, make sure your ash dont melt your mellows...
Lots of us here now.. the sofa is getting full. but I can get some cushions and blankets, to sit on...
Hope Rocco and Bella hit it off.. we my end up with little Bellrocks in a few months..
@pinktornado39 . Hey Laura..
Thanks for rocking the place.. I love that song.. and I really like Pink...
I have not had cancer, but have other medical problems that keep me down sometimes. and I feel the same way.... if it meant missing out on one day with my son.. then keep me in bed....
Tweets ahoy!
