Monday Roll Call

Wow I get to post first....how exciting!!!! Finally summer is here, hopefully to stay for a while I just started to take vitiamins, getting ready for when I'll need to after surgery, YUCK....funny how everyone's tastes are different on this website.  I did all the research and I bought Centrium chewables.....Nice Orange flavor people said.....Maybe if the organge was found in the Mississippi River...YUCK!  I don't know if I'll have to get use to it, or loss the 9.00 I paid for them and try something else. Well I better get back to work, hope everyone has a good day. Lynne

Good morning!  I'm glad to hear you are taking vitamins, Lynne. I know a few people with the band who don't take them and they are surprised at how run-down they feel for months afterwards. Today the kids and I are staying home and building a retaining wall in the backyard. Well, they are 1 and 5, so that means I will be building the retaining wall. No matter. It looks like the weather is cooperating. Have a great day everyone! Nicolle

Good morning Lynne and Illinois! Sorry the vitamins your using aren't ones you like. I use the ones my doctors office offers.  You just swallow!  I'm still working on finding a place to hold support group meetings......I guess I'll take advantage of todays good weather to go for a walk or two since there is a chance of rain for the rest of the week. Tomorrow is Sue's surgery(evian4life)....Good luck Sue! May you have an uneventful surgery and a quick recovery. I will be thinking about you! Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Monday Morning my IL family!

Lynne, be careful buying too many things before surgery, my tatses changed and I did end up not using a lot of it.  I use the Opti Source vitamins from Walgreens, it's got everything that you need in the pills.  I take 2 in the morning after breakfast and then 2 later around dinner.  I also take extra calcium in between.  They are orange flavored and I found that I couldn't tolerate them right away, but after a couple of weeks, I now like them. 

Today is the kids last day of school 1/2 day then summer officially starts.  I have an appointment with Kristen, my NUT at 3:15 today and I am very excited to go and talk to her about everything.  The crappy part is that I will have to pay in full any time I want to see her now because they told me that as of June 1st  BCBS PPO doesn't cover the visits anymore.  oh well, I am still going. 

After that I'll take Jacob (who is coming with me) to Wal Mart  to get some shorts.  Nothing else going on today...

I hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks for the heads up on not buying too much stuff.  I also been trying to buy single serving of the protention shakes...tried Worldwide....Yuck!  I have adkins I'm going to try next.   If anyone like slim fast and the Kellogg Protein Water mix Jewel has it on sale.  I hardly ever go to Jewel, but was in the one in Orland yesterday and they have a lot of the diet stuff on sale.

Good morning Lynne and my Illinois friends, I'm waiting to see if the drywallers will show up today since they didn't call to confirm on Friday. Saturday I picked up my bike at my moms so will go sometime today to get new tires. Yesterday I played Bob the Builder all day....well with the clean up anyway. I spent from 10am-5pm pulling nails from old paneling, boards etc for Earl to get the stuff ready for the trash tomorrow. My arms are killing me today, legs are pretty sore from all the up & down too, but surprisingly my back is ok. Also have to start writing the appeal letter to my insurance today re: my 12/12/07 non-surgery. I hope everyone has a beautiful day, looks like the weather is going to cooperate.  Paulette

Hi everyone! I had a great trip to Indy! The workshop was truly worth while and got to see friends too. Didn't get a lot of sleep though. Talking to old friends tends to keep you  up all night! We got home about 9PM  on Sunday. 

Have a great day!
