Thursday Roll Call

Looks like we are soon on our way to Northwestern ER.  Vertigo like symptoms for CB.

How about y'all?

Good Morning.

I hope Cheryl is ok.

Kim, I agree with you. When I had my revision,I had the drain in for 15 days. It was starting to get old.

Dawn, when does Riley go back to school? Lib to?

We went to Cracker Barrel last night for dinner. I had the Rainbow Trout plate. It was way to mch for me to eat, so I ate the fish, a few bites of stringbeans, and a few bites of sweet potatoe, Then a few hours later, I had a sugar free fudgecycle.

Today, nothing much, just do some house stuff.

Try to stay dry today,

Hugs,

Good morning!

Well today I'm gonna relax until I go volunteer at the food pantry. I wanted to be back at work by now, but with this drain in, I'm hoping to go back Monday. Other than that, just cheer practice, getting an estimate done on our driveway and if rain holds off, Ryan will try and finish the deck. We did the restolium restore on the deck and it turned out really nice! Just doing the railing now.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Kim

Good Morning Everyone

It is break time for me. 

Randy  I hope you have your foot looked at while you are at Northwestern,

Kim, drains would get old very fast with me.  Hope they get out soon. 

Lisa, it sounds like you are getting things done but in a relaxing way.

It is pouring here today.  I got drenched walking into work today.  *I am starting to get dried out but still wet in spots.  My feet really got soaked and they are cold.  Need to find some foot warmers. 

Hope everyone manages to stay dry today and does not get flooded out.  I imagine I have water in my basement as hard as it is raining. 

Crystal your lasagna rollups sound delicious.  You do need to fatten Chris up.

Dawn  hope all is well with you. 

Sharon,  good luck to G on his other interview.  Decisions will be hard to make.  I dont envy the two of you. 

Everyone have a great day.

Good morning,

I'm dealing with a drain too. He said it has to stay in until the daily discharge is at 30ccs. Now it's at 60. Today it isn't annyoning me too much but some days I get fed up and then the next day it's not a problem. It really feels like someone has messed with my mind this time. Anesthesia, medications, I don't know, but I don't feel like me yet and it's a bummer. Tuesday I cried a lot--who knows why--I'm not usually a crier. Yesterday I was somewhat better, but couldn't entertain myself at all. Today I am determined to have a somewhat better outlook.overall though, I am GLAD I had each and every surgery because of the outcome. I am so much healthier and (usually) feel so much better that these funky days are worth it.

As usual, you all have lots going on. I'm foloowing closely even if I don't post.

Take care,

Connie

Hi Kay,

I am so sorry that things are not perfect yet. It sounds like this has been a long journey and your emotions are trying to catch up to your physical healing. Having the drain is trying and can play havoc on your psyche. I know once the drain is out you will feel so much better.

Sending you prayers and hugs,

Sharon

Hello everyone

It's been a rainy, gloomy morning here.  I know we could use the rain but days like this just make me want to stay in bed and be lazy.

My recipe turned out delicious last night.  And because I skimped on the cheese for my portions it wasn't so bad in calories.  And of course I used organic gluten free noodles.  I have leftovers for tonight.

I was up so late last night so I think I will turning in early tonight.  I will be one tired chicky. 

Today me and my friend ran the stair case instead of walking because of the rain.  I always feel like that is more of a workout but the walk outside is more enjoyable.  Oh well...I do what the weather permits. 

Well I do kind of have something to complain about and it's not Chris's fault.  His sister graduated from college and his mom is throwing a party for her.  I assumed I was going with Chris to this party.  But I found out last weekend that they invited Chris's ex and I'm not invited.  Chris says it has more to do with the kids and not that they like her more.  That didn't make the non-invite hurt any less.  I guess the first thing that went through my head was...is this what it will always be???  Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthdays...everything???  Am I thought of as a second class because I'm not the mother of the grandchildren?  Or am I making too big a deal out of this?  How would you guys feel about all of this?  By the way the party is this weekend...so I only found out a week in advance I wasn't invited.  AND...and this is really tacky....because the invitations were computer generated....I helped with the invitations!!!!  No kidding!!!  And my pulled pork recipe is being used too!!!  But I'm not invited...am I too sensitive or is all of this just seem like a slap in the face...

Well now that...that is off my chest.  I have to talk to Chris.  I haven't really told him how much it is all bothering me.  I guess I just need to know I'm not blowing it out of proportion.  He thinks it's all fine with me.  I even made plans with friends...so I'm not sitting at home stewing over everything.

Well got to get back to work...see you all later,,,bye.         

Crystal,

I am so sorry that you are feeling left out. I would feel the same way. My sister had the same problem the first year she dated her second husband. His family invited the ex to everything. My sister felt like her man should talk to his family since she too spent time with them and they really liked her. But he would not and it wasnt until they got engaged that the other wife was finally dropped from the get-togethers. My mother-in-law still calls me Linda 50% of the time when we see each other. (Linda is G's first wife)HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA        I think it is hysterical since his ex-wife lived in California and she only met her 3 times in 10 years. Plus they have been divorced for over 15 years. In-laws and Out-laws can be trying. Chris loves you and I have a feeling his family will honor that eventually.

Hugs my dear one,

Sharon
