Sunday Roll Call

Happy Day all. Well, I made it until 4:30 which my bod said was really 5:30. Oh well, I will get over it. I also managed to get up and sweep and wash the downstairs floors and get some laundry done also.

What is going on with you and your loved ones today?

Good Morning Christine.

I woke up to sun this morning. Life is good. I hope everyone remembered to turn thier clocks back last night. Otherwise you will be early to everything today.

My day will be doing laundry and changeing the bed. I know I will do other stuff, but that is a have to.

Yesterday, I enjoyed a craft show with my Monica, got a couple of gifts for DH,
Then an enjoyable evening with cousins of Huberts at a birthday dinner for his uncle. We seldom see his Dads side of the family, so this was special.

BTW, my DH is home on vacation this week. I am glad I am working

Have a great, safe day.

Hugs,
LISA

Hello everyone

I got lots of errands done yesterday.  I went to Goodwill and I bought 3 pairs of pants one size too small.  I will need clothes to wear when  I go down a size.  I also got a nice courdaroy jacket.  Then I just picked up odds and ends at different stores.  I got home really early.  After all that running around I felt sore.

Now since I started to workout regularly I have had sore muscles and cramps...which I expected.  Then I found out I have a ganglion cyst.  Well yesterday after cleaning and running around to 4 different stores I came home and I was hurting.  This is sort of TIM...I was hurting in my butt.  I went to investigate it myself and felt around.  I could feel a big hemorrhoid.  Gross I know.  I ran to urgent care because I need this to go away ASAP so I can workout full blast again.  The doctor said it is a thrombosed hemorrhoid (I had to look that up- it's a hemorrhoid that has clotted and I need to be careful blood clots are bad news).  The doctor said I might need to get surgery to get rid of it!!!  Has anyone had to get surgery for this before???  I got medicine for it and have been laying on side ever since.  It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit.  I am hoping it gets better by tomorrow.  I am sick of laying down.  But that's the only position that takes the pressure of my butt.  Now you see all the terrible things my body is doing to me since I started working out.  It's like a mutiny!!!  My daughter is worried I will give up and stop working out (but I wont').  She said I have abused my body for a long time and need to expect set backs like this...I know she's right.  I won't let this stop me!!!  My daughter lives very healthy and she's very athletic.  How did I have a kid so different from me...not that I'm complaining. 

Well I will get going...I have a lot of laying around to do.  See ya later.

   OUCH!!!!!  I feel your pain.  I am dealing with a tail bone that is either broken or out of place.  I went to Walmart and got a boppie (nursing doughnut pillow) that I am sitting on.  It really helps!  You can also get ones that inflate in the medical aids aisle.  They take the pressure off that area.  It at least allows you to sit again.    

Be careful with that since it is a clot.  You do not want it to break off and travel.  I hope it heals quickly and that no surgery is necessary! 

Crystal, yes I had to mine surgically removed but way back in '75 and back then it was a 5 day hospital stay.Clots are serious but is the doctor saying that this is in fact the same as a blood clot that would be in the leg and can travel to the lungs or the heart (an embolism)? They are usually blood that is trapped in a pocket of skin (external on the body) and not in a vein. I had not heard of them being something that would cause an embolism. They now are either banded, excised with a needle to remove the blood or stapled. These procedures can sometimes be done in a doctor's office.

Try the donut pillows as they work well. The swelling will eventually go down. When you can get out to the store get some more fiber in the form of foods that you like and try Metamucil also, Dave has to take it and he says it is not too bad. Metamucil also comes in capsule form also.

Good morning Illinois!

The wine and cheese party was nice...a few were really very good.
I've got to fill the eclairs and cream puffs today.....and try not to sample them....easier said then done as I haven't made them in a long time...but I will do my best....I'm thinking a few bites of pumpkin cheesecake will be the lesser of all the evils....I try to plan ahead...

Crystal_ "OUCH" that's all I can say....

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning.

Mom..did not know that dad was on vacation all week. Spent 8 hours with you yesterday and you did not mention it...

Cyrstal.. Ouch! Hope you feel better soon.

Carol..wine and cheese party sound great. We have a local cheese maker here and Scott and I went over to get some yesterday. He picked out a bacon ranch cheddar and a bacon horseradish cheddar. Both are great.

Trying to get him motivated to go to the paint store. I have been told that my living room will be painted before Thanksgiving. We shall see.

Have a great day!

I am sure I told you, how else would we be going to St. Louis Thursday mrning for the weekend.

  Good Morning Everyone!  

It was nice to get up at a decent time and still feel like I had slept in.  No problem sleeping for me as I had stayed up late.  

Lisa and Chris, I am joining you in the laundry chore today.  I did not get that done yesterday and as you say, it has to be done.  I still need to finish paying bills as well.  

It sounds like people have their day planned.  Find some time for yourself to relax.  Have a good day! 

Beautiful Day out there!  I walked my dog and sat in the park right in the sun for awhile and it felt so good.  My little dog all of a sudden wants to attack the big dogs (he doesn't know he's little).  I am feeling alot better today.  I ate rice last night for the first time since the surgery and it went ok. 
I hope you feel better Crystal.
