Monday, Monday, Monday

Good morning, all. I hope that the day is good for you so far. It is doing pretty good for me.  Sherri, I know that you are at the hospital now but you remain in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you, your family and your doctors. May He give them knowledge and may you and your family have peace and understanding. I pray also for a speedy and reletivly pain free recovery.  I am going to my pcp today. I don't like going but what are you going to do? lol The good news is I know that I will have more weight since being there a couple of weeks ago. WoooHoooo!!!!! I weighed myself this morning and am down another pound since yesterday. I know that I shouldn't be weighing more than once a week but I have been getting compulsive about it since starting at the Y.  I have done my work out at the Y this morning. I am going to try to go everyday but I know that I will make it at least 3 times a week. I figure the more often I go the better it is going to be for me. I can't wait until I get the approval from the heart doctor to do the weight training. I am really looking forward to that.  I better get going. I hope that everyone has a good day and stays warm and safe. It is about 11 here this morning. It is suppose to get into the low 20's. We are having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. lol   Bye for now, will chat later on.

Sherri - I know your already at the hospital by now but just wanted to tell you I'm praying for you.. (( HUGS )) everyone. I don't really know what else to type. This medication they gave me knocks me out on my butt.. So I started taking Carafate yesterday morning 4x a day and the pain between my breastbone to my belly button is easing up a lil bit. Soo I think I'm gonna hold off on trying to get a scope. I'm drinking a lil easier today than I did yesterday. Now the pain from where my G-tube was lodged into my Duodenum instead of the gastric antrum (where it was placed in the the last CT they did) which they said was causing distention of the duodenum and I was told it was probally bruised from how it was lodged. The balloon is back in place now but I feel like someone has run me over. I still can't walk standing straight up or roll over onto my stomach or left side when sleeping which makes it tough for me to sleep...  Have I mentioned how much I HATE taking pain medications though?? This stuff they gave me I've only taken twice (and they said I could take 1-2 pills every 6 hours, I've taken it twice since getting home) and it knocks me completely out. I'm trying to not take it if I can function but I start getting doubled over and stuff and by then I let it get to the point of no return. Anyways thats bout it.. Overall I feel a lil better today. I'm not vomiting but Ive not tried to eat yet but I'm keeping fluids down. That is a plus..

Get to feeling better soon, Misty!!!

Good morning all!!!  Here is how I am feeling today!!! LOL Actually, I am feeling great, I just had to share that with everyone today.  The girls have a half-day at school today, so I am making their favorite lunch for when they get out. Meatloaf, velveeta shells and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn.  The meatloaf is already in the oven , and it is smeling the best!! LOL  This evening, we are going to some friends house, and playing poker!  I can't wait, I am ready to get out and mingle.   This past week has been so busy with finally getting back to work. I am so glad tho, because it has been rough otherwise. Now that today is my day off, I can possibly get things done around here! LOL Hope everyone is doing well. Everyone take care, and I will try to talk to you all tomorrow!

Good Afternoon,  wish that sunshine brought some heat with it. But the sun is shining bright, makes me feel good. I have been trying to find a gym close by, I really need it . The exercisies I do at home is really not doing me much good. Oh well I'll get started some where soon. Sherri, I have you in my thoughts and prayers .  LaChelle, I sure wish I had the smarts like you, I dont know anything but just what I am doing. I guess I most need another "DUMMIES" book. LOL. I hope everyone enjoys this sunny Day, Gail

Hello all!  I cant say good morning, because it is afternoon.  I am finally getting on the computer at 2pm.  Didnt do a whole lot this weekend.  Tonight I have my monthly business meeting at work that I have to prepare for her in a little while. Other than that, not much else.  Hope everyone has a great rest of the day.  I hear we have some snow coming tonight. Jenny
