Hey everyone....

Just wanted to see how everyone has been doing...especially after the long Labor Day weekend. I can't believe the traffic we are having right now...uughhh Anywho...this traffic better not make me late to my appointment tomorrow. I'm so excitied...it's probably my last dietician appointment. Wooo hoooo. Dana

Oh that traffic last night. I was stuck in it from 4:54 to 11:30pm. That was way too long and by the time I got home my stomach muscle was in so much pain. It is still healing.

Yeah...it was something else. I couldn't believe how long some folks were stuck in traffic....that's rediculous. How is your stomach feeling today?

Doing much better. I will be back at work tomorrow. It was intense this morning and had to do some pain killers. From what the doc says, it is just muscle tissue and it is normal to experience it around week 3 or 4. I'm right on schedule. Thank you for asking.

How did the appointment go?

Thanks for asking...lol...the appointment was GREAT! I am cleared by Dr. Inouye and Julie (gosh...I didn't know she was pregnant...lol...it's really noticable now) and I just had to get some final bloodwork done for Dr. Ramsdell. She said they'd let me know the results of my bloodwork by Monday and let me know if I need tp have the liver ultrasound. But other than that...I've done everything I've needed to do before they send in my packet to HMSA. Sooooo...with that said God has really blessed me this time around. My EKG was fine, my anemia is under control AND I lost 6 more pounds this past two weeks!! I had to get on the ball with my pre-approval through my PCP though...I guess HMSA needs your PCP to get a pre-approval for the surgery itself (not a referral - I got that already and that was just to see the doctors to see if I was eligible for sugery.) Sooo...I'll call both Queen's and my doctor opn Monday to make sure they've been on the ball with everything and pray that Dr. Ramsdell was right in her estimation of me getting to see Dr. Murayama within the month. Oh yeah, and I can finally come to see yall a****er aerobics starting next week!! We finally got our new guys trainined and I can't wait to come on Thursday (the 14th). Now I'm getting really exicited... Dana

Whoo hoo! I'm glad everything went well with the doctors, you're definately on your way to the losing side. Dr. Inouye? Must be someone new...or is that the other Nut? And Dr. Curtis is pregnant? I had no idea either, I need to congratulate her on my next visit in October. Yes you better hurry and come to water aerobics because if I get that 2nd job I won't be going for awhile. I'm not exactly sure what my schedule is going to be like other than I have to work 16 hours a week, it's still up in the air. I still need to do the drug test, etc. so who knows. Plus I think they wanted me to start next week Saturday...which is the BIG SCRAP JAM, I don't think I'll be able to function after 8 hours of scrapbooking & shopping. LOL I talked to the girl who got me the job and she said just tell them you can't work. I'm like isn't that going to look bad? And she said she'll take care of it, so we'll see.

Dr. Inouye is the psychologist...I dunno if she's new or not. Maybe they have more than one psychologist there or something. I *think* Dr. Curtis is pregnant...lol...she really looks it. When I first started going, she looked a little pregnant...today she looked definitely pregnant. I didn't want to ask...but I overheard another girl asking her when she was due. I can't wait till Thursday and going to water aerobics. What time do the classes start and get out at? I don't blame you about not wanting to work after the scrap jam...lol...I wouldn't either.

Water aerobics is from 6-7pm, but we're usually there at 5:30pm cause there's limited parking. I usually leave the office around 5:20pm or so to drive out the gate to pick up Susan, then drive back in and head to the pool. Let me know if you need a ride to the pool, then hubby can pick you up after sons practice. Might want to check if he knows where Grenfell Pool is, just in case he needs directions.

Thanks I'll let you know what's going on on Tuesday or Wednesday...so far we haven't had a call from my sons coach so I'm not sure when practice will be. Either way...I'll see yall on Thursday.
