Tuesday morning!

Good morning everyone!

I hope this day finds you all chirpy! I guess it's found me more like Quirky. LOL! Tummy is hurting this morning and I guess I'm trying to humor it away and I'm not doing a very good job of it I'm afraid. I ended up leaving work early yesterday. It's not looking good for me to stay all day today. I'm going to try anyway. I'm going to have a sample to get started on my instruments today so I need to stay for awhile anyway. I think that's one reason why it was so easy to make the decision to leave early yesterday...pain? yes. sample? no. Boss? no (he's in Puerto Rico this week).  I actually did very good at even making it in today with the way my tummy is feeling. Oh well. I'm here now...that's usually half the battle, don't you think?

Karen...I bet those kids are so thrilled to be able to see THEIR Miss Karen again! It has got to be such a quiet lonely world that they live in. We who have hearing probably can't even imagine how it is for them every day. I know they have to feel blessed to be able to come to school and have someone to communicate with.

Gail...I hope your mom is feeling better today. When is her cath going to be? Bill's mom's cath is going to be tomorrow. I have no doubt that both ladies are going to not only get through this, but feel so much better afterward! Jean had been complaining about shortness of breath for ~a year or so. Although they didn't hear anything wrong with her lungs, she was put on oxygen about 6 months ago but it didn't improve her breathing any. She was in the hospital about a month ago. They didn't do a cat scan or anything but called her breathing issues 'pnumonia'. Like my bout with 'pnumonia', she never coughed up a single drop. A few weeks after being discharged, it was back in the hospital. Finally with this last stay, they had a heart specialist listen to her heart. We all know women can be a complicated creature. So can our symptoms of heart problems. Somehow, I feel like they are going to find out that this is the root to her problems. I hope they are able to put in a stint or two and her be back on her way to her active self. I hope the same thing for  your mom. I know there are several OH'ers in the Terre Haute/Clinton area. I hope someone contacts you and wouldn't mind popping in to see your mom for you at Union. Union is a pretty good hospital. Me & Jay were both born there.

I hope Floyd & Brenda are having a fun & safe vacation so far! I sure miss them when they are gone...but I can't wait to hear about all the cool stuff they have done!

Ellen...I'm sure Dana has told you this but quit worrying about $ and get yourself better! Your health is worth more than all the paychecks you could possibly earn. Maybe you could find something you can do from home..when you feel up to doing it...like stuffing envelopes or something. Maybe if you Google 'work from home' you might could find something. At least with that, if you don't feel like doing it, then don't. You wouldn't feel obligated to do it.

Hope you all have a really good day today!

huggs...

Good morning all.  I certainly hope you can read my print this am.  I spilled a glass of tea on my keyboard and now, it is really hard to get some of t he letters to type.

Hope everyone has a good day today.  I have the house to myself again, so I can get plenty of things done.  I have dishes to clean up from supper last night.  I made a huge batch of spaghetti, and put half of it in a container, and the other half I put in a casserole dish and made baked spaghetti.  We even invited our neighbor over.  We normally just send him a plate, because he doesn't feel like coming up the hill to join us.  This  time he actually came up and we sat and visited for quite some time.  He is a disabled older man.  His wife passed away over a year ago, and we all have adopted him as our own.  The girls think of him as thier grandfather, and talk about having fun!  They have already decided to invite him again this year to join them for lunch at the school when it is grandparents day.  They wanted to have him join them last year, but he wasn't able to.  He is the one that is selling us his truck too, so he has even taken us under his wings.  Thats what friends are for!

Nothing much else going on today. 
Sherri, hope you are feeling better today! 
Misty, hang in there, you will be just fine today, and then hopefully you will be much better and get back to a more NORMAL eating pattern! 
Karen, glad to hear that your daughter's interview went well, and she has the job! That is just a great bit of news! 
Ellen, hope your migraine is gone today, and you are feeling better.
Gail, prayers are still going out to your mom.  I am sure that she will be feeling better in no time at all!
Jacqui, girlfriend, get to your PCP ASAP!!!!  You shouldn't be feeling that way for so long. You may have too low iron and be too dehydrated! Take care of yourself!
To the rest that I haven't mentioned, you are all in my thoughts and prayers!! God be with each and every one of you today!  Love ya! TTYL

LaChelle,

You're brilliant!  I had low iron a lot before I had my hysterectomy and this is EXACTLY what I felt like.  I betcha my iron is low!  I do take three flintstones complete a day and my calcium has iron in it too but I bet I'm one of those that need more.  I hardly ever eat red meat.  Maybe I'll try to get some spinach in today and see if it helps.

Thanks for mentioning it.  I'm sure that's the problem!

You ROCK!  Thanks so much Dr. LaChelle...lol

Jacqui

Hey Gail, I never heard back from you yesterday. I hope things are going okay with your mom. Union's a good hospital here in TH. They'll take good care of her.

Sherri, take care of that tummy. I hope it gets to feeling better real soon.

I am up and at 'em. Ready to head out after this. Got to take Maggie to daycare. Mikey's going to go with his father this morning. Mikey has occupational therapy before going in to school. Today's going to be a long morning, as I don't have anyone scheduled in the am at work at VR. That always seems to make the time pass very slowly to me.

I got good news yesterday. St. V's has decided I'm eligible for assistance for the balance I owed after insurance from my ulcer surgery in July. That helps out soooo, soooo much, because I didn't have the extra money to pay it. I didn't know what I was going to do. I always say, it never hurts to talk to these types of places, and see what can be worked out.

We're still working on Mikey's SSI to help out. I sent a letter to our congressman, Brad Ellsworth, to see if he could help. He responded and sent a consent for me to sign so that the file could be looked into. PRobably by a staff person I'm sure not him, but I'll take the help I can get.

Well,... I had better head out now.

Morning everyone!!! 3 more days til Friday and then it's A 3 DAY WEEKEND!!! Say it with me again 3 DAY WEEKEND!!! woohoo!!!

Yesterday was a good day I had a good day at work and a good evening with the bf... i just can't wait to get into my own place and out of his grandma's house... it's nice living there but she buys the groceries and right now with NO money until my paychecks start rolling in this week i kinda have to eat what i'm given... I can't wait to get some protein bars and some cheese, have some quesadillas... and some cheese... man i miss cheese oh and some sf chocolate pudding with some protein powder... I'm craving meat so i'm pretty positive that my proteins low... at least I have my vitamins all in due time...

Sherri... I'm glad that you are able to go to work but i'm sorry your tummy hurts... hope your day goes by fast or your tummy quits hurting

Linda V... That's great about St V's... every little bit helps... I can't wait to see you I hope you're able to come to the next clothing exchange I know i'm going i missed everyone so much

Ellen... I agree with everyone else your health is MUCH more important than anything else... God will watch over you... you know that

Gail... you are always in my prayers... I will put yourmom there as well.. you look fabulous in your picture by the way!! :hugs:

To everyone else to come today... 3 MORE DAYS TIL FRIDAY THEN A 3 DAY WEEKEND!!! Have a great day!

Can you tell i'm excited?

Morning Everyone, 

Up early this morning, at least for me and Quinn. We usually don't get up till around 9 or 9:30 or so. But big brother Gage woke us up... by mistake... so we're up. Not a big deal, leads me to less running around later when I have to get ready to leave to head to Indy to see Dr Clark and get another fill. I'm just not feeling full at all. Constantly hungry which is leading to some serious grazing. A battle I've been doing since completeing chemo and radiation. Though I've lost 2lbs of what I've gained, I'd like to get on the road to some steady loosing but more then anything subsiding that non full feeling that drives my brain nutso!!!

Other then my drive to Indy for a fill - not much more on my platter for today. Still battleing my bronchitis and lung infection. Infact my PCP's office called to say my xray came back clear. That takes a lot off my mind. However, they said if by Friday I still can't take a deep breath then they want to know so they can try me on another set but different type of antibiotic. I was talking to Ulisha on the phone yesterday and... coughing my head off or hardly being able to get my words out, but I enjoyed talking to her. We laughed about... S E X ! Funny convo... very funny. Thanks Ulisha for brighting my day up!!!

Sherri - sister I'm really sorry your tummy issues are starting early in the a.m. for you today. I know you kinda look forward to the mornings being somewhat relatively "normal", but not today. So SUCKETH!!! Uber Hugs!

Gail - was watching HSN last night and they were selling Coach knockoffs and I sooooo thought of you and I's convo from the camping trip... I giggled. Quietly cuz everyone was sleeping... lol. But still giggled. Though they did have some that if I had money I probably would have bought. 

Everyone have a good day.... while I'm busy on the road figuring out why I'm so long winded on these dang posts all the time, hahahah!

 

Blessings

Jodi 

Your welcome Jodi I enjoyed our conversation too, lol. Although I think that I talked your leg off.  Thats what ya call being with kids or by yourself all the time. When I get with another adult I dont know how to shut up thats for sure. I enjoyed ever minute of it though.  I'm sure we will do it again just next time we need to do it while we are moving (the walking that I know I diffently need and am to lazy to get to)

Good morning everyone. I thought that I would pop my head in and say Hi and good morning. I did post on the thread that Karen started. Nothing much going on here but it you are interested I am on the other post. Hope everyone has a good day and I am sending love and hugs to all along with prayers and special prayers for those in need of them.

Hope everyone has a good day! Prayers to those who need them, congrats to those who deserve them and encouragement to those who just  need a little pick me up!

Hey guys!! Just saying Hello.

I'm getting ready to hop in the shower and all that fun stuff and then we're headed out!!!! I have Gail & LaChelle's phone numbers written down. I'm hoping to make it home this evening, but if not I will definitely be home tomorrow.

Have a good day y'all!! Love yas
