Thursday!

Good morning, everyone! First of all, good luck today Jen! Your big day is finally here!  I loved my stay at St V's.  It was almost like a vacation.  I remember the night before I went home, laying in my COMFY bed, with a cup of ice water and a SF orange popcicle watching survivor in peace and quiet.  Secondly, I'm looking forward to dinner tonight!  My husband's friend will probably be with us, as he is helping get some stuff done for the move.  Just an FYI.  I sure hope Gywn isn't the cranky pants she was yesterday.  She was NOT happy unless I was holding her and playing with her ALL DAY.  And I mean ALL DAY, because from 1130 am til 11pm last night, she had a grand total of maybe 45 minutes of sleep, which was in 5 minute intervals.  I'd no sooner get her to close her eyes than she'd be screaming again.  I"m beat! In closing, it smells like a skunk is trapped inside one of my dogs and is trying to escape out its butt.  Think I'll go back to bed. I've only had about 3 hours of sleep, but Bailey needed out to go potty, so up I got.

Good Thursday to all! I'm off to the dentist this morning. I really dislike going to the dentist. My mouth is always sensitive afterwards. But it's a necessary evil. I didn't go through braces to lose these pearly whites.  Tonight I work at Sears. It's a short shift, only three hours, to give breaks  to all the other cashiers, and run for change and that type of thing. So not too bad.  I was so pleased. I found a fall/winterish coat, left over from last season, on sale at Sears. So I got like 70% off the original price, then my 20% discount off  the remainder of the price. It's a nice black one in a size L. So that's one thing I don't have to worry about. I had already given away my last year's coat to family, because it was too, too big. (3x).  Well off to take the kids to daycare now, and then to the dentist!

GOOD MORNING ALL, ONE MORE DAY TILL THE WEEKEND WOOHOOO...  TO ALL HAVEING SURGERY THIS MORNING OR TODAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND WELCOME TO THE BENCH.

Hi there ,  What a night I had- I went for my nighttime walk yesturday (usually 2/1/2-3 mi. in an hr.) and had to cut it short- my head started pounding and I thought I was going to fall over. Made it home & realized I hadn't eaten my supper (had a mtg. at 7 & it was 9:30) so no wonder why!! I ate my usual ( protien,veggies,fruit) and then rested till bedtime. Anyway, got up about 1;30 (  break)& on way back to bed I felt like I was going to pass out- my BP dropped and then I ended up shivering- made it to bed. This is the FIRST time that's ever happened since surgery- usually my BP was so high I was on 3 meds. for it- for yrs. so I was so surprised!   Jen, Misty,Amanda--I've been keeping you in my prayers- the Lord bless you all and give you a speedy recovery! After you get thru these first few days/ weeks you'll be so happy- just sip, walk, chew slowly & remember, we are here for you!  Darrah, It sounds like Gwen is needing her "Auntie Ellen" to hold her awhile! How can you resist that sweet face- maybe she knows that if she hollers enough someone will come & get her- little sweetheart/stinker!!  Annette, Are you getting as anxiuos as I am for Tues. to get here? I wish you well- you are going to be so sexy! Sure wish that was what I was having!  I think I'm going to take it easy today- got a real whopper of a headache now. I just hope it eases up in time for us to come down for the DINNER GET TOGETHER-I am looking forward to seeing everyone!!! (((hugs))) Ellen.

Hey everyone! I just got home from having that follow-up mammagram done. The big concern was over calcium deposits. I've had them since 2002 but they changed some over the past year. They just wanted me to have special scans done each year now to keep an eye on it. But then I said 'so this won't afect me having my breast lift and implants done?'. She asked when & who...and then said that Dr. Bergman can just pop out those calcium deposits while she's in there and we won't have to worry about them anymore! Whew! How's that for good timing? LOL! Ellen...call your doc about your bp...k? Sounds like you need some meds adjustment done. You all have a good time at dinner tonight! Sherri

Well it's thursday and i'm so glad tomorrow is friday... working is like work or something ya know?
It's going ok i'm just not a morning person and getting up inthe morning is so hard for me... I weighed myself this morning and i had gained a lb... wtf!! I'm still going to say that my body is recovering from being sick last week... i did get really dehydrated last week... that's my story and i'm sticking to it..

Darrah, I'm sure that sweet Gwynn won't be down one second at the clothing exchange... Can't believe it's the last one you're going to be at

Ellen, that's scarey sweetie... take care of yourself and call your dr...

I'm going to a kick boxing class tonight so i won't be able to go to dinner but i hope everyone has a great time.. plus chinese makes me hella sick..

I'm so tired I could just for hours and hours...
Well here's to one more day of the week

Jess, Your pound gain may be due to not getting enough sleep. Your body needs the sleep to recoup itself. The other morning when the dog got me up at 1:30...when I weighed myself, I was up 2 pounds. This morning, it was back down to normal. As you get yourself use to getting up early, your body will adapt and you'll see the scales moving down again. In the meantime, just stick to your protein, water, and exercise and you'll be fine! Sherri

I am having trouble with LOW blood pressure- can you believe that? I can't!!! The nurse didn't say what to do other than moniter it and keep a track of what it's doing- it sould go back to norm. I tell you, after 20 yrs. of taking 3 meds. just to have stable pressure- this is a real surpirse for me! I went off all of those when I had surgery 10-05, so I'm so glad it isn't high!! Thanks for thinking of me, everyone-- going to dinner  with my OH buddies,tonight even if I have to sit there in my bluejeans jacket & drink hot tea all night!!Ha-ha! (((hugs))) Ellen
