Saturday Morning!
Today's the day of the wedding shower for my sister-in-law. I'm nervous about it. I've never given a shower before. I hope it goes off okay. I realized last night, I had gotten games together, and almost forgot to get some pens to bring with for it! I just worry that I'm majorly forgetting something.
It doesn't help that my NP switched my meds this week. For those who don't know, I have a mood disorder. I was starting to get some side effects from my one med, and so she lowered it, which I agree with, and the side effects are going away, but my body is adjusting to only 2/3 the dose after about 3 years on the other dose. Last night I was feeling really down and having some dark thoughts. I know how to cope with these, it's just not fun.
Yesterday was a meet and greet with the teacher at my daughter's Kindergarten. They did that this week, because she just started teaching the class Tuesday. They had to start a new class because of having too many Kindergarteners, that's how Maggie got a spot for early admissions.
I was having panic because Monday my scale read 150. I thought, oh no, there it goes, I'm going to gain back the weight, when I checked yesterday I was 145 again, so maybe I was just retaining water or something. What relief. I think that's my worst fear right now, is gaining back the weight I've lost.
Mike, my dh, found out yesterday that his sub license came in, so he can start working next week. I'm really happy about that, because that take some stress off me,

Wow..it sounds like yesterday was your lucky day all around! Congrats on all the good things coming your way! I am off to Muncie to take care of my mother today. She is 78 and barely mobile, so we all try to jump in and help with her. I just dread that 6 hours round trip on the interstate and who knows what all she wants done. She has a girl come in once a week and clean, but she is very OCD and its not good enough so she recruits us and its an all day spring cleaning! Last time I moved all the furniture out and cleaned under all, flipped mattresses, etc....Pray for me to have strength...not just of the back but of my patience as well. I love her...she just is a bit taxing at times with her demands. I feel like I am 10 yrs old when I go there.....lol
Hope everyone has a great day and enjoys themselves in their adventures! Prayers to those in need...

Good morning everyone!
I hope you all are enjoying your Saturday. Bill & I were just talking about how we need to do 'something' to have some fun. We have no idea what though between his eyes and my tummy, there's just not a whole heck of alot to choose from. I'm sure we'll think of something though.
Linda..I weigh myself everyday. I don't get upset over day to day fluctuations. I know that my weight bounces around +/-5 lbs or so from day to day. Unless it holds the same weight for AT LEAST 3 days in a row, I'm not going to count it as a gain or a loss. If you're going to weigh yourself often, do it as a means to understand your body. We retain fluid...our digestive system may not remove the body's waste at the same rate every day, we perspire, we sleep better one night than another (yes! sleeping has ALOT to do with weight loss/gain!!). There are just WAY too many factors involved to get all shook up over day to day fluctuations.
You all hae a terrific day today!

Just a quickie to say Hi!
I had my post op appointment with Dr C yesterday from my rescectioning of the afferent limb and all that fun stuff and things went pretty good. Am trying Compazine for the nausea since it's been full force for a few weeks instead of the phenergan/zofran which doesn't seem to help a whole lot. Also I have to do mineral oil every few hours to try and get my tummy cooperating. I'm dealing with horrible constipation issues since my surgery last week and have done Magnesium Citrate, enemas and everything with very very little results.
Anyways today I'm just exhausted since we were on the run from 8:30 in the morning til 9 pm so I'm planning to rest and take it easy. To say I'm sore is a gross understatement. I need to learn how to take it easy lately and quit trying to push myself. Good news is the 12 lbs I gained from surgery fluids and what not is gone + 2.5 more lbs soo that is exciting.
I just wanted to update some though and say Hi. I hope everyones doing well... I'm headed to take a nap.
