Good Tuesday Morning!

It has just started raining here in the hills.........and is supposed to for most of the morning. At least it isn't strong storms, just a slow steady rain. Hope everyone has a great day today. I have nothing much planned. Since it is raining, we aren't going to play golf.  We will try again for next week! LOL A friend of mine is wanting some help re-arranging her furniture, and I said that I would be glad to help. I may regret that later on, if I hurt my back or somthing like that, but thats ok. I don't mind helping out. Time to get the girls up for school. Have a good day!

Good Morning All, Yes, I'm still around.  No spare time in my busy little life to chat but I do check in from time to time and Floyd gives me reports on what he thinks is important (that's why I check in when I can). We went out and bought new furniture Saturday.  I can't wait for it to be delivered.  Stayed in all day Sunday and worked on putting up our village.  Yesterday I did a little shopping and cooking and finally finished the village. Today it's back at work and I have plenty of it.  Hope everyone has a great day.  See you on the 8th!!!

Good morning everyone!

My wound-vac is suppose to be delivered today. It all depends on which gets here first..it or the visiting nurse...on if it gets put on today. If it'll make things go quicker, I'm all for it (even though I do hate the darn thing). I guess that's the same as the meds. One, taste HORRIBLE! It is far worse than the unflavored loratab! But..it does keep my intestinal spasms to a manageable level. I did learn what was causing the nausea that I've had since Friday. One of the meds is for bacterial infections. Dr. Gupta wanted me to do a course of that just in case there was any bacteria causing the diarhea. Well...come to find out it is the same drug they use for alcoholics and if they have even a sip of alcohol, it will make them sick. The med that helps with the spasms is 19% alcohol! So now I have to be sure not to take them at the same time and to take the anti-bacterial one on a full stomach. I'm still queezy, but at least I can keep a little bit of food down at a time. I only have 2 more days on the anti-bacterial one. 2 more days of being queezy! I think I'm going to be starving by then! LOL! Oh...I hit my lowest weight...158 lbs! I'll probably regain as soon as I can eat something though so I'm not changing my ticker just yet. I'm reading the last of the Harry Potter books. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it. It's a good time to catch up on reading. You all have a terrific day! Sherri

Sherri, Sorry we couldn't get together for lunch yesterday! I hope you're feeling better today. I am going to be back in Indy next Monday. Maybe we can try again then? See how you're doing first.  I am so happy! I got a pink sapphire ring last year for Christmas. I didn't get it sized to fit then, because I'd just had my RNY. It was a little ring. It wouldn't even go on my pinky finger. Today it FITS my ring finger! I'm wearing it in place of a wedding band, because they're all too big. Lol! I have my original band and engagement ring, a 3 stone ring, and a replacement band (just with some CZ's in it), and they're all too big. WooHoo! Today is a kind of blah day though in other ways. The weather's gray here in Terre Haute, and I had to get up early to take Mikey to a doctor appointment with his new psychologist. I don't mind taking him really, I just don't like getting up so early, two days in a row. Had to get up at 5 am yester day to be in Indy on time for my eye appointment.  I also had an appointment yesterday with a financial planner in Indy. His specialty is planning for the future for kids with special needs. Like for example you may want to leave them money to help them in life, but you don't want to disrupt their benefits like Medicaid/social security, things like that. He was very informative. I don't think there's alot of people that do this kind of work. If anyone's interested in contacting him, let me know, I'll get you his name and phone number. He's on the northside, by Castleton.  Well,.. talk to y'all later!

Linda,

That sounds like a plan! We did find out yesterday that the reason why I was nauseated/vomiting was because of the meds Dr. Gupta put me on. Now that I know how to try to avoid that, today has been a better day. One of the meds, I'll be done with Thursday morning..and then I won't have to worry about the nausea anymore. I am SO looking forward to that! I'm glad you had a terrific Lasik follow-uop! Sherri

Happy Tuesday y'all! Hope everyones having a good week so far. It's been busy busy for me and it's just begun! I don't mind though I like to stay busy most the time.

Well I don't really know what else to say right now, sooooo I'm gonna scoot.

Hello everyone!! Things are going ok here... It's been a blah week for me... Al ot of emotional things. This surgery is only 15 % physical i think... cause my head is a mess... I went to my session yesterday and got my scale taken away from me. I am a scale watcher. I get up and the first thing I do in the morning is weigh myself. Detrimental but I'm obsessed with it. I weigh myself after I go to the bathroom during the day after I eat.... SO my scale got taken away. I can only weigh myself once a week... Monday mornings... SHe's very concerned that I'm going to become aneroxic because some of the habits that i had before surgery could easily flip flop and become aneroxia... I never thought ath I would say that about myself. Before when I was pissed or felt out of control I would eat. It was kinda like an "I Can't control this situation but I can control what I eat so I'm going to eat" now I can't eat, I mean I can i just find it quite pointless because I can't eat that much so it's not becoming when I get frustrated or feel out of control I don't eat... Same issue different way to manage it. We're working on it though. I'm so glad that I went to therapy. She suggested a book "renovation of the heart" by dallas willard it's a christian book and goes over how if we truely want to change it has to come from the inside, and we need God to change the inside. I should get it in a couple of days. My journal is fast becoming full good thing I can buy another one.

On a happier note I can now wear a size xl shirt in juniors from wal mart... I was so happy I got a long sleeved tinkerbell shirt last night, I put my body shaper on to hold all my chicken skin in and it looks good actually... I can't believe it...

Sherri, I hope you start feeling better hon.

Gail, I know you read this thing I hope you are feeling better
