Happy Hump day!

Yay! Half of my workweek is over! And yes, good morning to you too! LOL!

I got to watch a recap of President Obama being sworn in. I saw the clip of President Bush & Laura getting on the plane and couldn't help waving bye to them. Tiffany said that she watched it all with the kids. Myranda (she'll be 5 in May) was VERY impressed with Michelle Obama. Her words were 'Wow..she's pretty!'. Yes, Myranda is our girly-girl.

I have more reading & typing to do today. It should go by fairly quickly though. I have a phone conference at 1 so that'll break up my day a little bit. I'll also be trying to call Dr. Wittles nurse today to see if there is any news on what is going to be done.

Oh..good news! Shellie is suppose to get out of rehab on Saturday! We didn't think it'd take too long once they started getting her out of bed and not letting her lay around all day for her to want to get home to her normal lazy behavior. She doesn't like the food (it's healthy) and she hates having to be awake at 7:30 for breakfast. She's one who'd rather sleep until noon AT LEAST. She also doesn't like it that dinner is at 4:30 and so she's hunger by 7:30 and her stomach is what wakes her up! LOL! Nope...I guess they aren't giving her a bag of Lays every evening either. I told Bill that Shellie probably feels like she's at fat camp. At the hospital, Shellie could order anything she wanted off the menu between 7 am and 7 pm (I think that was the times) and she'd get it about 30 minutes later. It wasn't a pre-set time for each meal like it ia now.

Well..you all have a really good day!

Good Morning from freezing  Baltimore!!!!!!!!

Heh its just the same weather  was you guys have had so anyways just wanted to say HIIIII

Good morning all,

Trying to catch up with what's happening with everyone.  Glad Tracy is doing better.  Sounds like you all had a blast at the clothing exchange.  Sorry I missed it again, but I had a great time with my brother and SIL.  We don't get together very often so jumped at the chance to spend the weekend with them.  We always have fun.  We are planning a long weekend over Labor Day in Vegas.  So excited about that.  We've been there every year over Labor Day weekend for the past 5 years (except for last year). 

Tons of work still.  Much as I love my Fridays off, have to work this Friday and also on Saturday.  But it pays the bills and so many people are out of work I am blessed to have a job.  My DIL has her own grooming business and it has dropped off a lot the past few months.  When money is tight the last thing people think about is getting their dog groomed.  I'm thankful she has some regulars that keep her going. 

My SIL has been moved to a facility in Carmel that seems to be very nice.  Was one of the ones recommended by the advocate at IU.  I hope she gets better care there than she did at the place in Monticello.  My brother is so depressed with his condition progressing so fast.  He is falling all the time now.  I don't know if it's his pride or the fact that if he gives up his independence it would be admitting failure, but he refuses to move in with my niece.  They have the bedroom ready and he'd have his own bath.  But he says he wants to stay in the house for when Nan gets better.   When/if she does get well enough to leave a facility, their home isn't handicapped accessible and there is no way they can remodel to make it that way either.   I don't know what to do for him or say to him. 

Sorry to be so long winded this morning.  Thanks for being there for me to vent to and express my frustrations on. 

I pray everyone has a great day.  Stay safe, warm, and happy.

Good Morning Everyone, 

A pretty uneventful day for me execept at 2 pm. I go see a doc about my colonoscopy results. I've had rectum bleeding for two months now and so I had a colonoscopy last Thursday. It showed major irratation on the two loops that use to lay up against my uterine cavity (when I had one). Although he's pretty sure it's just radiation irratation , he pulled two biopsies and had them tested to rule out cancer or Crohen's disease. I have to tell ya... hearing the word "Cancer" again so soon as had me majorly freaked out and has added to my depression. But, today is the day and I'm looking forward to 2 pm. 

Got my band fill Monday. 1.4 in a 4 cc band now and I can really tell the restriction I have. 

Still suffering some RSD flare ups. I'm looking forward to more milder temps for the future, as that's the only way they'll stop. Okay not stop... but at least be more tolerable. 

 

Sherri - glad to hear about Shellie coming home. 

 

Blessings
Jodi

Good morning guys and gals! Man did I sleep good last night. Went for my second adjustment at the chiro yesterday. I think it is helping. He has me going to him and the PT part three times a week. I am done now til friday!  Not alot planned today! Work and then home to work in the workshop since I did not do it last night! Biggest Loser was on!!!!!!  Talk about drama! Unbelieveable!  I have been doing better about taking lunches instead of fast food. I ate fast food on Saturday with the dance team and felt sluggish all day. They did have an awesome concession stand and hed tray of fruit or veggies served like they do the nachos! Great idea! I had a veggie one and split it with another mom! Helped with the nerves! Well...hope everyone has a good day! I am off to finish cooking my chicken breast for lunch for today and tomorrow. Mushroom and swiss cheese stuffed! Yummo! And only 270 cal with 37g protein!

I am up and movin' slow this morning.  Meds make me feel so sluggish.  I plan to take it easy today.  Maybe actually get in some housework.  I ended up spending all day at ST V yesterday with Brandi.  She had the surgery in Feb last year.  She has 2 hernias and has to have them repaired.  I met Dr. Huse for the first time.  He was very nice.

I hope you all have a great day.

Huge hugs,
Tracy

I'm in the office for a short while this morning, I'm taking the afternoon to burn up my comp time I earned last week.   Tomorrow I'm off to Santa Claus for a meeting.  It will be another long day so I'll end up with Friday afternoon off too.
It's been a busy couple of weeks at the office.
I loved seeing y'all at the exchange.  Can't wait for the next get together.

Just popping in to say hi and hope everybody has a great humpday. Mine is starting off horrible, I'm am pretty sure I have infected tooth (should of taken care of it last time) So between trying to find a dentist to get me in and sleeping (so tha maybe i can forget about the horrible pain) I wont being doing much of anything at all.

Hello Everyone!  My day started out with a drs appointment to follow up for the pneumonia. Lungs sound pretty good and I only cough a few times a day.  So I am happy to have the worst of that behind me. 

I then went to the YMCA to walk on the treadmill. I walked a couple of miles and felt really good.  However my good mood did not last.  I went to use the restroom before I left and my cell phone fell in the toilet!!!!!!!  BEFORE I used it... fell right out of my pocket in the jacket I was wearing.  OMG!  Only me!!  LOL  Oh well... so we have the insurance on the phone but I am also eligible for an upgrade and there are several phones that won't cost me anything.  So I will be looking into that today.

Sounds like everyone is pretty busy today. I am working on my second protein shake of the day.  I really feel like I have been eating too much.  Supposed to have only 4 oz or less at meals.  I feel like I have and am able to do more than that.  That has me pretty freaked out.  I am so worried I will stretch out my pouch and all of this will have been for nothing.  I am still losing weight though.  My husband says I am imaging all of this.  And that could be.  I just feel I am able to eat more than I used to.  I don't know.  I am not eating bad things or overeating.  I just quit weighing things and started eyeballing stuff.  Some things I can eat a few bites of... like hamburger, chicken or salmon. But a banana or something like that... I think it would add up to more than 4 oz.  Could just be me worrying to be worrying??? Any of you have that ailment??  LOL
Hugs to all of you!!
