Tuesday Roll Call
Good morning IL friends!
YAY, my day is finally here. I am going to the doc to get my drains removed. Cross your fingers that my feeding tube also will be removed. Then time to pack for my trip home tomorrow.
I'm washing my hair this morning then going for a walk on the bay before breakfast and then leaving for the doctor's office,
It's been a long haul. I've got about 2 weeks plus 2 days before I have to go back to work.
What's happening in your day today?
Hope all had a great Labor Day weekend.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.'
Hugs,
Lucy

Hello everyone
Well I feel tired. I don't want to be at work. My weekend wasn't exactly what I planned. I need some extra sleep.
I have no plans today except work and visiting my dad for a short while.
Lucy- I didn't know they put a feeding tube in you. Do they do that for DSs or is just because you had a revsion. Good to see you doing well.
Got to get going. Have a great day.

Hi Crystal!
I will join you in your feelings about being at work!
Dr. Rabkin puts in a feeding tube in all his revisions. He does that in case patients are not able to keep fluids down or get in enough protein. I've been able to do both, so there is no need for it anymore.
Here's hoping I can go tubeless by lunchtime! YAY!!!!!!

Good Morning!
Going to enjoy the beautiful weather this week. Have my 4 week checkup next Tuesday so I should be returning back to work Wednesday the 15th or Monday the 20th.
Taking Morgan to school today and will try to pick her up. I cannot always pick her up from school so while I am off I try to take advantage of it.
Also going to try and make it to the Library today. Need some more books to read.
Lucy hope all goes well with the doc. appt.

Good morning Lucy and the rest of Illinois!
Our busy weekend is over and I am TIRED! Wow! Lots to do in 4 days.
The tractor pulls and barbecue were lots of fun, but I was so tired that I went in about 7:30 and was in bed by 8:30. I STILL feel tired. I have been having a lot of trouble with pain in my hips (especially the left one) during the night and for the past 2 days, I have lots of muscle pain in my upper legs. This keeps waking me up so I am not getting full rest. I guess I will have to ask the doc about it. I am getting old.
So sorry to hear about Janet's husband. I see very difficult choices ahead for them and am sending all the love, support and great thoughts to them.
Good to see Lucy is doing so well, as is Monica V.
Short work week and getting ready for the Tie Dye Party on Saturday. We will begin dying about 2:30 if anyone is interested.
Back to work for me!
Everyone have a lovely day!

You might want to check in with your doctor on this. I too am having trouble with pain in my hips and pain in the upper legs plus falling. I am getting some additional tests done. I am to the point of not being able to stand for more than a few minutes of down the body wants to go.
Don't be stubborn like me and bru**** off too long. Better to check it out sooner than later.
Also, I really want to come this weekend to the tie dye party but I am going to have to pass. With all of these issues with the legs, I just dont trust myself at any activity where I might be tempted to do standing or walking around. Once I fall, I cannot get up. Ever heard of a beached whale? thats me.

Good morning all!
It seems like the weekend lasted forever. We cleaned all the flower beds in preperation for a huge veggie garden in the spring! We were so good at it that we finished most of it early so we were able to enjoy the weekend. Yesterday, we took Meredith to the Buffalo Grove Days festival or as she calls it the FESTIBULL! She had lots of fun and it was a great day. Today it is back to the grind and time to get serious with the food stuffs again!
Have a great day!

Hi Paul.
I am envious of your gardening. I have a few flower plants in front of the house. That's it!
If you go to the Buffalo Grove Days next year, you should stop by my house for a visit. I am right around the corner!
I'm coming home tomorrow. YAY!!!!!
I took a walk by the SF Bay. It was cold and windy. Had to wear my windbreaker....
