Friday Roll Call

Glad you decided to post and share!  Good luck at the appointment and congrats on taking steps to a new life!

Good Afternoon! :)

Ok so I'm a tad late... ok ok 8hrs plus late but better late than never!
Today I had early 5am Nursing rounds that are brutal and hate. I turned down 2 donuts (SO PROUD) but did scarf half a bagel with cream cheese! Those evil carbs just love me, but I did make a smart choice on not eating those yummy donuts!

I was busy all day with patients and I am finally done charting and decided to come on OH and say Hi.......

Now I'm going to get read to go home and sleep. This weekend I have off and plan to sleep, sleep and sleep some more :). It's not often that I get the weekends off without being on page or working, so I will take full advantage of it.

Of course, in between sleeping, I'll run 3-4 miles and do some jillian michael's dvd. (she always kicks my butt.....i hate her but after the workout i love her lol)

Have a great weeked everyone!

Good Evening.

1 Friday down and 2 more to go, then I am back to my 3 day weekends.

Nancy, I hope you find out what is causing all your health problems.
Crystal, you too. 2nd opinions are needed, and it the 2nd on clashes with the first, then get a 3rd.

Dawn, have a great time this weekend, at the cheese festival.

We will be going to our daughter Annettes in Yorkville Sunday, for a birthday celebration for her boyfriend. It will be fun. Other then that, just xchores to do around here.

I am glad to see so many nearly new faces on this board. Please continue to visit with us.

Have a great evening,

Huggers,
LISA

 Good Evening Everyone!  

I am just now getting on here,  It has been a long day and after work, I had to go to the hospital to get additional blood work drawn.  For some reason they were short staffed.  I was the only person and had to wait 45 minutes.  Oh well, I was prepared.  I took along all the information for our new phone system to bone up on.  Some of the people went live with them today.  It seemed to go well so we think the rest of the center may go live Monday but no one is sharing that info with the workers.  I am not scheduled to go live for another week, but part of the area I handle is scheduled to go live Monday and there is no way that they can have that area go live without our team going live so we will see.  Anyway, I want to be prepared.   

Dawn, I think cheer camps for the little ones is such a great idea!  The kids are so cute, look up to the cheerleaders and parents love that.  How can you lose?  

Crystal,  I am curious as to why a doctor would put you on Adderol for migraines.  It is used to treat ADD. It is a stimulant.   In fact, my psychiatrist put me on it Thursday night.  I really think I have ADD and had talked to him before.  One of the problems with adult ADD is compulsive eating and that is rearing its ugly head again.  I dont know if it is too soon to tell but I felt much better today and was better able to cope with things.  I have been so overwhelmed.  Something had to change.  I hope it really works.  I will say that I have not been hungry at all today plus no urge to compulsively eat.  That is REALLY good.  If this works, I can kick butt again!    I am going to watch carefully for side effects.  

Nurse Gracie, good to see you!    Deanna,  I am glad the Wildtree is successful for you.  Lisa, congrats on finally getting on track and getting things in line for surgery.   Lisa T.  It wont be long before those 3 day weekends are back.  When you are finished with your job, can I have it?  

Everyone have a good evening.  

Evening all my IL peeps. We are tired! We got up a little before 4am and have had a lot of windshield time.

Well, Dave thanked me for talking him into going to his reunion - we are having a good time. More about it when I get back home. I need some shut eye.

Ah, to attend a reunion. I have refused to go while obese. That's my vanity speaking. ;) Maybe some time in the future, eh?

I'm having a heck of a time getting “me-time" to prep for surgery. I still want to study, organize, exercise, practice protein shakes and sipping, etc., but my life outside WLS keep interfering massively. First, all the help my husband has been needing with the home repairs (he's a stay-at-home husband while unemployed). I’ve finally told him: Hire a painter! Not sure how we’re going to pay for that --- First National Back of Home Equity. So much for his “sweat equity"! Plus, lots of little fires keep demanding attention.  I can’t wait to get to the hospital just to get a break!

Then, I’ve had leave my job early today to run to the podiatrist to get a toe infection cut out (hey, getting used to this surgery stuff).  Can’t go into WLS with a toe infection.  Also, the new pre-op labs confirmed that, yes, I do have an active h Pylori infection in the tum-tum. New drugs for that --- a 17-day drug treatment  ---  and surgery is in only 9 days now.  (Do I take my Prevpack to the hosp, or will the hosp keep me going on the treatment through its pharmacy?)

Started the 10-Day Pre-Op Diet.  --- Whew momma.  --- I can no longer have the option of eating constantly “switched on" in the back of my head. Now that I’ve had to switch it off, it’s stunning to realize how often my mind and mouth sought out food. Like some hunter-gather, apparently I was always on the alert for food. Wow, is it weird to have to fill that new “food search" void with some other vibe.  I feel like I’m a stranger in a strange land.
