Happy Saturday!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I cannot sleep for some reason even though I'm plum exhausted but oh well. I figured since I was up and at em I'd start today's post!!!! Whats everyone got planned this weekend? I'm gonna work on cleaning again because we are having Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year.

Hey everyone Happy Saturday, I am staying home again today still under the weather. We are supposed to go to my husbands family thanksgiving tommrow but I am not sure if we are going to go. We me sick and all. Well I hope to get a call form Heather the sugery scheduler on Monday to schedule my sugery. Well anyway I am going to go back to bed I am tired. Love you all, Jana

I am up way to early this morning.....I don't have to be at wor****il 1 pm this afternoon! At least I can say.........TGIMF.....Thank goodness it is MY Friday!   Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I haven't any clue what is happening other than work. Stay warm!

Yep, soince it is warmer today I am going to clean for a while then go out and mow more leaves before it rains again... I have over an acre and half of trees... beautiful yard except in late fall... the leaves are yucky!! Linda

Good morning all!

Boy, last night I was down-right draggin' dead-tired. From 7-11, it was all I could do to keep my eyes open! So after Vegas, it was bed time. I get all settled down with wound-vac plugged in and all...and I could NOT go to sleep!!! I think it was 3 AM by the time I finally drifted off! I can't stand nights like that. Tonight, I'm going to lay down as soon as those sleepies start! Because of the situation with my stomach (the hole, wound-vac, etc, diarhea, etc) & the fact that we have a waterbed (85% motionless..tried to sleep on it a week or so ago and it was NOT good), I've been sleeping on the couch. I hadn't been laying down earlier in the evening because I didn't want Bill to feel like he couldn't stay up & watch TV in the livingroom if he wanted to. I think I'm just gonna have to lay down anyway. We don't have any big plans for the weekend other than E & Becky will be stopping by this afternoon. I am looking forward to E's gizzard soup! I just know it's going to end up a recipe I'll want to fix every winter! Oh..I did get to take my first shower yesterday before the visiting nurse got here. It was so fantastic! And when she changed the wound-vac dressing, there were several red places. She did what she could to try to avoid those places when putting on the new dressing, but couldn't entirely since any less wouldn't have sealed the vac properly. She's ordering some skin-prep to be delivered here for the future changes since my skin is so sensitive. I have no idea what 'skin-prep' is but hopefully it will help. Her next visit won't be until Monday morning. Cindy..it was very good talking with you yesterday! I appreciate you're keeping up on how I'm doing. I'm a little further for you now that I'm home than I was at Seton, huh? ...at least from where you work. I had a girlfriend from work that visited me at Seton & St. V's that lived about half-way between the two..so about 10-15 minutes from each. I get a call from her about once a week now...lol. You all have a good Saturday! I hope the weather is the where you can get out an do what you'd like!! Sherri

Good Morning Beautiful People! I don't usually get on here on the weekends since we have dial-up at home but my daughter is at a slumber party so I have a bit of extra alone time.   Last night was wonderful.  Troy worked nights and our daughter was at her first slumber party.  I had a lovely fire going and watched a little food network.  I read several chapters in my book.  It was nice to do the things I want to do without being interrupted.  It's not something I want to do all the time (I did miss my baby) but it was nice for a while. No big plans for today.  Troy is sleeping and I go pick up Luci at noon.  She's going to help me decorate the tables at church for our church's thanksgiving meal.  We also need to run to Evansville and go to Wal-Mart for pets food and protein shakes.  We might go by the mall too and get Luci some jeans for school.  She's shot up again and all of her pants are highwaters!  Poor kid.  Her parents dress her like a dork sometimes! Hope everyone enjoys the weekend.  It's lovely here in Southern Indiana!  Highs in the upper 50s! Smooches, Jacqui

Good Afternoon All, I have trouble sleeping for a while. I would love to be able to sleep after the news but just does not work for me,well maybe some night.  Yesdayday, my friend of many years came over and gave me a MaryKay makeover, I haven't put makeup since before my 1st surgery 10/24/06. It felt great. . Now I need to do my hair it looks terrible. Its growing in quite well but its as red as it was when I was young and didnt add any color. Help  is to soon to add just a little something so I will be a little more comfy with my hair. Pretty vain I know, I just am feeling better and want to try to feel better on the outside too. I have such a long ride to get to this point and I do feel so blessed and maybe just wanting to do it all to soon. Have a Wonderfully Blessed Day, Love Gail

Hola mi amegos y amegas!!  Good afternoon all!  I just thought I'd pop in and say howdy before I go back to bed.  It's about quarter til 2 in the afternoon but I have to work tonight.  My Friday as well LaChelle...YAAAAAY!!  I had to get up and let the doggies out as Ernie was driving me nuts with the whining.  But, when ya gotta go ya gotta go, right!?  hahaha   At work, they find it nuts that I sleep all day.  I told one lady that I get home and am probably asleep by 7:30ish and don't get up until 5:01 when my alarm goes off...she was like you sleep ALL day?!  I do get up to use the bathroom and stuff, but that's about it.  I can't help it, I'm tired.  I require a lot of sleep.  I'm hoping the surgery helps with that.  I don't have any kids or anything so I don't HAVE to be up at any particular time, so I take advantage of the sleep I can get.  Can ya blame me?!  I didn't think so. It was a rough one last night.  We only had 14 patients, but they were on their lights all night...well, just a couple of them.  My feet hurt when I got home.  I'm glad tonight is my last night for a while.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my job, I'd just rather be doing what I went to school for...massage therapy.  I really think that marketplace of jobs is concerned about how an employee looks.  I think they want 'em to be all thin and cute.  Who wants to be massaged by a fat, sweaty person, eh?!  haha  This has just been my experience with it, I could be mistaken.   Well, everyone enjoy the rest of their weekends!!  The bed calls me!!  Take care!

Just wanted to wish you the best for your surgery!!!  I have been reading everyone's posts for about 2 years, but could never make a decision about surgery, until October.  Now I am going to a bariatric clinic in Evansville.   I have to get through the 6 month program before surgery.  I have my first weigh in Tuesday.
