Thursday

Good morning everyone!!

Well..I have a kinda inkling to what I'm bringing Saturday. Naturally, it'll be a food-food and a dessert dishes. Me bring just one??? LOL! For the dessert, I'm just trying something a little different with a recipe that I already know goes over well.

Christie...Bill suggested dinner Friday night. Would the Old Country Buffet on 31 work for you and Wally? If there is somewhere else that would be a little closer to where you guys are picking up the car at, let me know...k?

I got an email last night from work. They STILL have not received an update from those 'lovely people' who work at Dr. Gupta's office. Grrr! So....I emailed them yet again!! 3 emails, same subject! They don't bother answering my phone calls...so now they aren't the emails either. I have an appointment Monday with Dr. Gupta. Hopefully this is worked out by then since I'm suppose to return to work next week per her office! I couldn't remember her nurses name (Megan) so I looked it up online. All the other emails I sent to Heather and Marta...names I could remember...and asked them to forward it to Dr. Gupta's nurse. I think the emails all got forwarded to their trash instead! So...I checked online to help my memory out. They already have Dr. Gupta off of their website! Dang!!! Let her at least work her last week there first! Jeesh!

I hope you all have a good day today...

Hiya friends!

I'm feeling good this morning. I got up at 5am to get in my lap swimming at the Y. I was really not sure I was going to do it though. Really thought hard about resetting the alarm clock and sleeping more! But, I did it, and I felt better for it.

I'm happy to say I will be attending Saturday. I was scheduled at work during the day, but I managed to switch for an evening shift. If anyone needs a ride from the Terre Haute area, feel free to let me know.

I am glad you are on the mend and just being healthier...and how is the swelling?

Angie,

I think I'm still a little bit swollen most days. I don't distend during the day like I did so that's a good thing. My abdominal muscle is extremely weak right now. That's what was needed in order for it to get manuevered back into place but it doesn't hold my gut in at all so I'm still most comfortable in elastic-waisted pants. I have one pair of jeans that I can get zipped up but they aren't very comfortable after a few hours.

All in all though, I'm definately better off than I was before they went back in there this last time.

How are you & Ed doing?

Sherri

Morning Sherri and everyone,

Getting ready to leave work shortly for a doctors appointment.  I thought I came back from vacation with a cold, but after 11 days it seems to be getting worse so I suspect it's more like a sinus infection.  Haven't hardly had a voice in the past 3 days.

Good news is that I just got a new job.  I can't wait to move to it.  It should be within the next couple weeks. 

Hope everyone has fun at the Clothing Exchange Saturday.  Sorry we won't be able to make it this time.

I'm a bundle of nerves today. Surgery is tomorrow. All I have to say is holy bowel prep!

Good afternoon all.

I am on lunch and thought I would drop a line and say hello.  Ayreka, good luck tomorrow.  I will be with Lisa and Neil at Kings Island but we will say a little prayer for you when we get ready to leave. 

Sherri, I hope you get everything figured out and straightened around.  I saw Dr. Gupta Monday and it was hard to say good-bye.  But I will go to her for general surgery if I need it.  I will remain with St. V for WLS issues.

Hope you all have a great day.

Tracy

Tracy you may already have one but Wendy's has 40% off coupons for Kings Island. Have a great time. Tell Lisa I said hi. I so enjoyed talking to her in Chicago. Jana

Tracy,

What hospital is Dr. Gupta going to? I think it'd be wise of me to stay in contact with her. My insurance will let me go anywhere I want to go. The whole reason why I had switched everything to St. V's was because of her and St. V's bariatric wing. I wouldn't switch completely out of St. V's now (I love my pcp and really like my gyn there) but would have no problem at all going to a different hospital in order to keep her as my surgeon. I know that I am dreading saying good-bye to her on Monday. In the past close to 5 years, she has literally saved my life more than once.

Good afternoon all,

I am getting my days and nights mixed up.  I have beening having alot of trouble sleeping at night, so I took some tynelnol pm around 1am and slept until almost 11, it was noon yesterday.  I hate this it throws my whole day off.  I have not been taking naps, I am not sure what it is.  Other then that I am doing great.  I got on my scale this morning and according to it I have lost the 11 lbs I gain at the hospital plus 3 from what I weigh when I left here on Friday, so that make it a total of 14lbs (including the 11 I gained).  I am so happy being on the losing bench again.

We are getting ready to go to the office in a few got some paperwork to faxed to corporate for insurance, got another paper to send to Dr Huse's office to fill out.  I want to see some of my buddies, but most of all check on how my job is being handled.  I got an email from my supervisor telling me stop sending emails out that is work related, since I am on FMLA I am not suppose to be doing anything that is work related and the company could get into trouble if I was caught.  Never thought about it that way. 

We are going to go to staples to shop for school supplies, we went last night to walmart to get Arian some new school clothes, he starts kindergarten this year, and Mandi took him to the eye doctor for his exam and he need to wear glasses now, he told Mandi "Mama I am going to ******d now".  I hate to hear him say that, so I got him a new outfit to wear his first day, he loves camolugfle so I got him a pair of pants, with a John Cena camolufle shirt and Steven found him some boxers to match.  We told him that when we come down to get Aunt Ashley then we will take him and he can pick out his own backpack and his shoes.  We got him some school supplies, it has been a long time since I went shopping for a kindergarten, but I had a blast.  I always have a blast shopping especially for my grandbabies.

I was hoping to be able to make it to the clothing exchange Saturday, but I am not able to drive yet, I do not have a way.  Tracy is going to be in Ohio ( I am jealous, I want to go LOL).  If anyone from the Marion area is going and has room, I would love to go, let me know.  I will help with gas, etc.  If I cannot find a way, I may try to drive if my pain is no more then what I have had in the past few days.  I really have not had much pain at all, most of my pain is when I go from a sitting position to a standing position. I did not touch the loratab at all yesterday, if I do come sown then I will need some help in unloading the clothes I have got ready to come down.  I have another closet to go through, I mat try to get through that tomorrow.

I guess I need to stop writing this book and get up and moving, talk to everyone soon.

Love you all

Hugs

Peggy
