Wednesday morning

Good morning! Another sleepless night! I was physically tired last night but the brain was going 100 miles a minutes so here I am! i gave up about 5:30. I hate it when my brain goes into overdrive! I think I laid funny....my back  at my lower left ribcare is tender to the touch. It's not bruised from what I can tell. I didn't hit it or anything so I don't know why it's sore. It's not sore when I breathe in...just when I touch it so at least I know it's not a blood clot or anything. It was sore enough to convice me that the idea of sleep was gone for now. I got my outfit for the Christmas parties coming up. Yep, I'll probably wear the same out fit to St. V's & the ornament exchange. I really don't want to buy too many stretch pants or shirts designed to go over my swollen tummy...not really the style I normally wear! It's cute, I think. I would say it's casual dress...definately not fancy dress! Besides, fancy dress just in not 'me'. I got Tiff an outfit and leave it to practical her to get a pair of pants that she can wear to work too. I had her try on her outfit when we got to my house. I'm glad I did! The pants are about 10" too long on her! I pinned them up and will take care of the hemming for her. Now, if she isn't a child of the next generation....no idea how to hem pants! She would have just kept rolling them up until she didn't trip on them anymore!!! I told her that I'd probably be able to make her a couple of scrunchies for her hair with what I cut off the bottoms..lol. Bill has a dentist appointment today at 1:30. He has to get a loose tooth pulled. So....I'm dropping him off and then going on to Great Clips. I am in the need of a trim BAD! I usually get that done every 6-8 weeks. It's been more like 3-4 months. So last night I did my normal pre-cut thing...I dyed. My hair is now all one shade..yay! LOL! I'm just trying to get all purtied up for the party Tuesday..haha!! Ok...as much as I can be anyway. I hope everyone has a good hump day today! Sherri

Good Wednesday morning all! I have just spent the last 15 minutes getting Brownie $$$ together from the candy and nut sales that the girls did a few weeks ago. UGGH!!!!! I don't mind selling stuff and delivering it either, what I hate is the fact that my families ordered a bunch of crap that I have to pay for, and then they send me the money back.  In just 2 checks, I had to write one for over $140! The other was only about half of that, but that is only because DD had more cash and checks from the orders!  At least all but maybe 20 will be returned to me, so that makes me feel better about selling to family!!!!!!! The bad part now is just keeping all the tins of pretzles and chocolate covered raisins and stuff like that........keeping it out of the GIRLS hands, so it doesn't get eaten before we can drive to visit family! lol It is my Monday at work today........the first one since I got my date! I have so much stuff to take care of at work as well. I have to apply for my medical leave, my vacation, and all that good stuff so I can be ready to go out right at Christmas. Since my surgery is on the 27th, I will probably volunteer to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  I don't mind, and I do get holiday pay for it. That makes up for some of the time that I will miss.  Our new management company begins on Jan. 1st, so who knows what will happen with that. I am sure it will be better than the one we have now. We have meetings planned all this next week to discuss the information about the new group. I am excited, because that will most likely mean a raise for the management, which Jimmy is considered. I hope so anyway.  I have to take in my schedule of dr.s visits today as well, to make sure that I get those days off.  Only 1 of the appts is on my scheduled day off! UGGH!!! I will be driving to Louisville 3 times week after next! Only once next week, so thats ok. They tried like everything to get all the appointments on the same day so I wouldn't have to drive back and forth, but due to scheduling conflicts, they weren't able to.  Its ok tho, just as long as I have my surgery THIS YEAR!!!! lol I have decided to cut all of my hair off, and have a very short doo.  I have fairly short hair now as it is, but it is getting where it is unmanageable.  I told some friends last night, and one of my dear friends told me to let her know when I am going to get my hair cut, and that she would cut hers at the same time.......just another way to show support to me and my WLS!!!  I just about cried when she said that she would do that for me.  She has beautiful long honey-blonde hair.  She wants to take it short as well, so I said that is fine with me.  Another one of my friends is thinking about doing it as well, so who knows.......they may ALL be as bald as I am! hahaha My shoulders hurt this morning.  We went to some friends house last night and played bowling and  golf on their WII!!! I have never laughed so hard in my life trying to play that silly game! roflmao.  Then the girls got to bowl also, and they really had a blast. I guess that for a video game, that is one of the best, because you sure can't play that sitting down! Enough of my rambling on. Time to make sure the girls are ready for school and I have to get in the shower.  Have a wonderful day. I am going too!!! Love and hugs to all!!!!

Good morning!

Not much going on today. I was extremely busy yesterday, I dont even think I got to get on here to read any posts.  I got caught up today.  I am feeling really good except for a litte bout of constipation.  I think I am going to have to try a stool softener.  Hopefully that will help.   Almost have all my shopping done.  I just have a few more to get my 2 kids and that is all.  Got everyone else done this past weekend.  I have never had my shopping done this early.  I hate to shop, so I always wait till the last minute.  I do try to do a lot of it online so I dont have to fight the crowd and end up getting mad and leaving.  I got a lot of it wrapped last night. Had a very nice compliment from my daughter this morning.  She said, "mom your butt is getting a lot smaller" and you need to get some new pants those are just too baggy.....lol!.  That put me on cloud 9.  I need to weigh myself again, I havent weighed since I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and I had lost 30 lbs then.   Everyone have a good hump day.

SO many new losers......I have to get back into the GROVE...I use to know all of us.....

Angie,

It is so nice to see you post! It was so good to see your email as well! I know things have been very rough, but remember that the best thing you can do for yourself during times like those is reach out to your support group....us. By the way..how is Ed doing?  I'm so glad that you'll be at the Ornament Exchange. Really wouldn't be the same if you weren't. I think I read where Linda Kay won't be able to make it. I wish she could. I'm looking forward to seeing more posts from you!!!! Sherri

Angie, I was thrileld to see you post! I have missed you so much! Please keep in touch and know that I am sending hugs your way! I can't make the ornament exchange but am hoping to pop in for St V's party on the 6th. I hope to see you  there! Have a wonderful day! Hugs! Marianne

Well I got a shirt for the christmas party but I don't think it's going to fit... I got it small when I bought it.... it's still a little snug... i'm going to put my tigheter body shaper on tongith and see if that works... If not it's back to the drawing board...

I had to go to the dr monday because I have UTI... Never had one before... this is new... They put me on Cipro pills... they're not working I don't think I still have a lot of pressure in my bladder... Wonder if I'm absorbing them right? I may have to start crushing them mugs...

Angie it's great to see you post again!!!

Sherri, can't want to see you at the parties...

E... hope nothing is wrong and God continues to bless you...

To everyone else it's hump day let's get through the rest of the week

Happy Wednesday! Nothin' spectacular planned for today.  Gonna finish my sf puddin' and go for a little walk.  I see the nutritionalist tomorrow and then up to see Dr. Diaz.  I'm looking forward to it.  Bet no one could tell that the way I've been complainin' about my drain.  Sorry 'bout that.  I don't mean to be such a whiner when there are others that have much worse problems. Well, I hope everyone has a pleasant day today!

Whitney,

You complaining???? Shoot, compared to me, you've been a saint! Guess what? That darn drain tube usually comes out at your first follow-up appointment! Woo-hoo!!!!! You will feel so much better then!

Sherri

Thank goodness!!   Also, how many incisions did ya'all end up with.  I thought it "supposed" to be five, but somehow I have six...just wondered.
