Saturday Roll Call

Hi everyone, I have not been on here all week.  I have a lot of posts to catch up on.  I am still at work right now.  It has quieted down for a little bit. I have been exhausted all week.  I haven't been taking any protein supplements, just hoping  to get enough in in food, so that is probably my problem. I have had problems with my daughter being sick.  She has been so tired and achy all over.  It kind of presents like the flu.  I took her to the dr on Tuesday and she was diagnosed with fibramialgia.  Now, I understand that she had the symptoms and trigger points of it, but I can't  help but think that the diagnosis came way too fast.  She has never had a problem like this  before.  She still feels horrible.  My plan is just to continue the muscle relaxers at night that  the dr gave her and follow up in two weeks.  I am hoping that it will subside, otherwise I think  I will take her to a specialist because I just really feel that it has to be something else. The good news is that I made it to the gym to sign up, the bad news is that I haven't gone yet.   I can't wait to be cleared for the pool.  I see Dr Rantis on Tuesday and I think that my insisions  are closed up now, but I want to wait for his approval. Congrats to Monica for her approval!!!  I haven't read all the posts, but it sounds like Dave might  have a job, so good news there!! I wish everyone a great weekend and lots of laughs for tomorrows commercials ~Michelle

Michelle, (((HUGS))) Glad to see your post! I was just about to PM you... Been thinking about you... Sorry your daughter is not feeling well I will keep her in prayer! I am so excited you joined the gym good for you! I LOVE doing the water aerobics! Have a great weekend! Blessings Jenn

Thanks Jenn,

I'm a little apprehensive about using the machines, but I know that I can do the water stuff.  I finally found a place that offers classes in the evening.  I'm pretty sure that my incisions are okay to go swimming, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to get the drs approval since its just a couple of days away.

Thank you for your prayers for my daughter.  Other than 1 1/2 days of school this week, she hasn't been out of bed.  While the dr could be right about her having the fibramialgia, I just can't help but doubt her.  Everyone that I have ever heard about has had several tests and visits before getting such a diagnosis.  I just keep hoping that it will subside and she will be fine.

Thanks,

~Michelle

Happy Ground Hog's Day everyone... I took my oldest daughter with me this morning to do water aerobics (no headache yay!) Today is cleaning day we are almost done with that, DH is taking the kids sledding and I am going with my mom and sister's to  Breaker's for dinner and then we are going to see Untraceable my Mom's Birthday is tomorrow ... Tomorrow we have church, and a small lunch soup and salad afterwards... We will also be going to our Pastor's House at 5 to watch the Super Bowl... I hope everyone has a great day! Blessings Jenn

Well, it is now afternoon.....I slept in this morning, as I have this habit of not getting enough sleep during the week.  I got a B-  as a final grade for my Economics II class, and I started my Financial Accounting II class this past Tuesday.  At work, we are coming close for finishing the year end procedures for our 10K so I am not working as many hours. I am now five weeks out from surgery and doing pretty darn good, I have been working towards eating normal food again.  I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down 27 lbs I am still averaging a little more than 5lbs loss a week. My plans for this weekend is to clean out closets and drawers and get some things sent to Goodwill.  I also have some homework that needs to be finished as usual.  While I will watch the game and commercials, I am getting excited as NASCAR season starts here in the next several weeks. Dee, It is ok to be out of sorts.  Just take a day to yourself and go get pampered...a massage, a facial, or even a pedicure/manicure. Chris, send my good luck wishes to Dave for his interview in Texas.  I have a feeling that this will be a successful trip. Monica, I am just so happy for you and the news you have received. Nancy congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.  My DH and I got married in Las Vegas a little over 14 years ago. Christina, it is good to hear that your foot is getting better. Lisa,  I know what you mean about pizza!!! prior to surgery, I could eat a whole medium pizza on my own.  Now,  I am lucky to just eat the toppings.  To all those, I may have missed, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend

Took my 15 yr to her FFA Diner/Auction and sent the other two girls to babysit their sister's kids. My hubby went and got the mail today and I didn't like what he brought back so please pray for me. I had bloodwork done earlier this week as some of you know. (For those who don't know this is the followup to my first doctor's appointment in over 5 years.) Anyway, there was a letter telling me to go have a glucose test ASAP because my fasting one came back at 118. That was after nothing bu****er from 6:30 the night before and I didn't have the labwor****il about 11:30 the next morning so I was so definitely fasting and am thinking my blood sugar should have been low after that long not high. Like I said, please pray for me. I would really appreciate it. Other than that, all is well in my world. Have a good evening. Beth

Sending prayers your way Beth.  Christina
