It's me...again! LOL!

Old?  Old? What am I at 61 ancient? Get a clue lady 46 is prime time. E

E,    OMYG! I laughed so hard tears were flowing! I would had never guessed you anywhere near 61! Actually, if I had to have guessed, I would had guessed at least 10 years less than that! And nope, I don't consider you anywhere near ancient now that I do know! Age to me really is dependant on how you feel..and by the time I was getting stuck for the 4th time in that med lab yesterday, 46 felt very old. I really did consider my mom 'old' at 46 though. I never viewed her as old until she got past that point though. I always felt like I had a 'young mother'. I don't know what happened in her life at that point that made her start behaving 'old'...nothing medical that I know of..but she did. I related to her behaving that way yesterday though and the thought came accross my mind that the lab tech probably thought I was 'old'. Once I have all this belly stuff behind me and I am back to living MY life...working, camping, Vegas vacations...all the stuff that is just on hold for now....I will feel young again. Right now it's hard for me to enjoy anything that I normally enjoy...including my grandkids..and all of that is what helps keep me young! I do know though that when I was 16, I had none of my weird allergies. 10 years later, I couldn't go near a 'caine' without having problems. If my ex-dh got dental work done, there could be no kisses that night or I'd break out in hives. Add another 10 years, and add cephlasporins to my no-no list. Now, another 10 years and I have to add steri-strips & non-paper medical tape. I hope that doesn't mean latex is soon to follow (I wear latex gloves at work). My list may grow over the next 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, or how ever many years..and that's ok! I'd rather that list grow than me not have those years! I do plan on finding out what ancient feels like! LOL!  I keep saying that I want to be like Bill's mom. She'll be 83 in March and is having the time of her life! She started dating her old high school boyfriend last summer and those two kids are loving life as fully as they can! Thank you for the good laugh this morning!  Sherri

Oh Gail your definitely NOT the only one to have their doctors guessing LOL. Sherri and I were discussing something like that yesterday LOL.. I tend to be the one who has the docs scratching their heads continuously as well.. (( HUGS ))

Well, Sherri, it sounds like things are getting under control. Let's all pray that they stay on the same track.  I wish Bill and I could meet everybody for the Last Supper but we are so far away we just can't make it. I am having hopes that someday things work out and I can get down there for something and meet all of my dear friends.  Stay well and you and Bill remain in my prayers.

Brenda, Thanks!  Are you guys anywhere near Middlebury? Hope & Peter own a KOA up there. It's where we here on the board had a get together at last summer...and are hoping to make it an anual thing. Think you'd be able to drive over and meet up with us? If it's too far, what would be closer? We plan on camping out at Indiana Beach too. Is that closer? Hope to meet you and your Bill soon! Sherri (& my Bill...lol)

Hey, Sherri, that sounds like a great idea. We are about 1 hour from Middlebury I think and about 1 and a half hours from Indiana Beach. We are right by the lake and the Indiana Dunes State Park. We are about 5 miles from Lake Michigan and about a half hour from Chicago but I don't drive to Chicago because they drive like maniacs!!!!  I have never been a camper but I would love to drive out to visit if you meet at the camp ground in Middlebury. Just keep me posted on that, alright? I send my love and hugs to you, hope you are feeling better today.

Brenda, There'll be bunches of posts as summer gets here and the camping trip(s) get closer! Hope's KOA in Middlebury has cabins available (I'm not sure if Indiana Beach's campground does or not). I think cabins are ideal for those without an RV..and trust me, I am NO tent camper myself! I gotta have a real bed! As Bill & I camp this summer, I usually post where we are headed out to. If we are going to be anywhere near you, let me know. Oh..I keep my cell phone (and laptop) with me on our adventures and the # is on the directory. Maybe we can connect before the camp-out! (Hey..that goes for anyone else reading this too!).  I'm feeling fine this morning. I always do in the morning. By noon though, I feel like my intestines are trying to escape via my incision scar  for the tummy tuck so I have to go lay down for awhile to calm it down...and give me a break from the constant pushing. I'm just anxiously waiting for the hemophilia center to call! I so hope she doesn't wait till 4! Sherri

Sherri, I'm glad youve got the green light I sure hope they get ya scheduled for next week.. (( HUGS))

Misty, Alot of it will probably depend on Dr. Bergman's schedule. Dr. Gupta said that with her schedule and how things usually are, now is the ideal time to fit her in. So...let's hope that Dr. Bergman has 4 hours free that an OR is available! I'll feel better about the 'green light' after I hear back from Dr. Greist tomorrow. Of course, I'll let you all know after I get that call. Sherri

Sherri, Glad that they were able to go ahead and fit ya in today! Hopefully soon you will be back on your normal happy bump free path- at least normal for you and your 10,000 steps, that is! LOL! I haven't been able to heheheh at ya for all of your steps in a long time! I seriously do hope that you receive some good news and a date soon! I am still thinking of ya and keeping both you and Bill in my thoughts and prayers! HUgz Dawn
