Wednesday Roll Call

Morning friends! By the time the doc called me at 4:45 yesterday, I was able to sip water and keep it down. He said keep sipping and call him in the morning. I have kept 8oz of water and 8 oz of broth down since yesterday at 4pm. I called him with the update and waiting again to hear from him. He was talking about sending me in for a GI study but I think he'll let me be for now.  Everyone have a great day! Theresa, Rockford

Good morning Paul and everyone! Paul, I am glad to hear that you dodged the bullet and you are taking some time for fun too. I am working today, still catching up a bit.   I have to run to Wal-Mart at lunch and then home to see my family.  I feel like I have not really seen them for a couple of weeks.  the week before I left for New Orleans, I had stuff going on every night and Todd arrived home last night (bringing the sunshine!) at dinner time, but David had a track meet.  I plan on going home and hanging out this evening. I am thinking of everyone and keeping you all in my prayers too. Any word on Denise?

Good morning Paul and Illinois! I went to my first support group meeting last night and met Kim and Kelly! It was nice to meet them. Today I'm off to my daughters house to babysit while she goes to the doctor. Lucy, you and my grandson Vincent share the same Cinco de Mayo birthday. I'm glad everyone seems to be doing better. Today the sun is shining and hopefully this warmer weather is staying with us. Got to get moving, have a great day....later.....

Hi Everybody! Kay and I went to Door County for five days so I haven't been on much. I still have a little paper sorting to do at work after the move and a few things I can't find. I have a lot of recovery books and tapes to get rid of. Of course, hardly anyone has a tape player anymore! 

Last night we had turkey tenders for dinner with squash and we both got stuck! "The family that PBs and slimes together stays together" (You may not all be old enough to remember this one). I think we have tried poultry enough times to believe now that it needs to be off the list. It seems like all fish and hamburgers are what works best. Sometimes I can eat pork but Kay can't so it's good we like fish! We used to eat more poultry than meat so this is a change, but it's clear our bands have their own little minds. 

Had a long meeting at work about Electronic Health Records. If any of you work with one, I'd be curious to know which one and how you like it.

Have a good day!

Hello Everyone! I am just hanging in here, I have been doing a lot of reading and research the past few days, at least it makes the days go by quick! Not doing much today, just waiting for my youngest to take a nap, he is VERY crabby today!! My hubby is going to cook tonight, so I will get some outdoor playtime with the boys. After dinner, I am turning in, I have been SO tired the past 2 days.... too much reading! lol ~Jessy

hello illinois friends!  i am hanging in there on day two of this liquid protein diet.  it is making me tired and i have a headache from caffeine withdrawl, wow i am glad that i cut down caffeine b/c this would be hell otherwise!  i am getting excited for surgery and also that the weather is getting nicer too!  i hope it stays that way!  i have an hour break between speech therapy sessions so i am off to take a quick 30 min walk around my neighborhood with my doggie.  have a good day!

naaaaa - actually I was up at around 230am (woman in the throws of menopause! ) because I could not sleep and I just did not get on line. I eventually fell back asleep until about 550 when I needed to get hustling and ready for work.   Work was busy and I again did not leave right at the end of my shift. Anyways, I got home and did a couple of things around the house so the house is spic 'n span for my sister coming in on Friday evening. Dave and I went and spent the evening at my doctor's pre surg seminar and at the end we spoke to the pre surg attenders. Gonna climb into bed here in a few minutes. Chris
