SUMMER COLD

BLAH BLAH BLAH.... I FEEL SO ICKY, KIDS WENT BACK TO SCHOOL TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY BROUGHT ME HOME THE NASTIEST LITTLE COLD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FLU AT FIRST AS I HAD THE FEVER, HEADACHE, BODY ACHES AND FATIGUE. BUT WENT TO PCP AND HE CONFIRMED IT WAS NOT, THAT IT WAS JUST A SUMMER COLD. SO BACK ON THE BREATHING TREATMENTS, I JUST FEEL LIKE I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH AIR IN MY LUNGS. THIS HEAT DOESNT HELP ANY EITHER.... IT REACHED 102 TODAY HERE NOT TO MENTION HEAT INDEX, NO RAIN SO MY ALLERGIES ARE RUNNING WILD AS WELL. STILL NO WORD FROM INSURANCE... GETTING VERY NERVOUS THAT I WILL HAVE WAITED ALL THIS TIME FOR THEM TO MAKE THE DECISION AND BE DENIED, BUT I GUESS FROM WHAT I READ ON ALL THE PROFILES, EVERYONE GETS THAT WAY. HEY KAT HOW YA DOING HUN??? DON'T BE WORKING TOO HARD SWEETIE!!!! I HAVE FOUND SOMETHING TO REPLACE MY SODAS COMPLETELY NOW.... I HAVE A SODA SITTING NEXT TO ME THAT HASN'T BEEN OPENED YET AND I AM DRINKING THE HECK OUT OF MY NEW DRINK..... IT IS THE SAM'S CHOICE SUGAR FREE DRINK. THE ORANGE EARLY RISE. I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVE THIS STUFF, ONLY PROBLEM IS I CANNOT KEEP MY KIDS OUT OF IT. WE START BOWLING NEXT WEEK, SO I WILL BE EXERCISING A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN USUALL AND MAYBE WILL FEEL A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN I DO RIGHT NOW. HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING GOOD TODAY. GOD BLESS, LORI

Hey Lori, I am sorry you are feeling so bad. I hate those dang summer colds. I too am feeling the same way with the insurance company. Talked with the surgeons office today, was told my gastrointerologist wrote an excellent letter. She read part of it to me. I was glad to hear it. Hope to hear something by the end of the week. Was told it went to the care coordinator last week. Well Lori, hope you get to feeling better. Sure would be nice if it would cool down. Take care JC

Hi Lori, I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well. Summer in Louisiana is tough enough without adding a cold to the mix! I sure hope it cools down soon (any chance of that?) and that you start feeling better. Hope you hear something soon! Waiting is so hard when the result is this important. Hang in there. Take care of yourself! Linda

Hiya Lori!! I'm so thrilled you remembered me... That Sams drink sounds cool, but do they have it in another flavor other than orange?? I can't do orange. Hope to see you soon... are you near Shreveport? That's where we hope to meet for our North LA group.

THEY HAD THE USUALL RASBERRY ICE, THEN LEMONAIDE, AND ALSO I THINK PEACH TEA. THIS ORANGE STUFF I THOUGHT WOULD GIVE MY INDIGESTION FITS, BUT SEEMS TO BE JUST RIGHT, IT TASTES LIKE TANG TO ME. AND OF COURSE I REMEMBERED YOU HUN...LAUGHS. YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE WRINGER AS I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT WITH THE DR'S THEN THE INSURANCE, ECT ECT ECT. YES I LIVE JUST SOUTH OF SHREVEPORT. NOT TOO TERRIBLY FAR FROM KIM. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER WED NIGHT... GOT TO GET HER BACK ON TRACK SO MY ANGEL IS HEALTHY FOR ME WHEN I HAVE SURGERY. LOVE YA KIMMY GIRL!!!! I DIDN'T GO DOWN THE ACTUALL ISLE TO SEE WHAT ALL FLAVORS THEY NOW HAVE IN THE SAMS CHOICE BRAND... IT WAS ON A DISPLAY... BUT HEY $1.97 VS $3.98 FOR CRYSTAL LIGHT.... I AM A BARGAIN HUNTER. AND IT TASTES GREAT... WHEN I BOUGHT IT I THOUGHT TO MYSELF... IF I DON'T LIKE IT, I AM GIVING IT TO THE KIDS... WELL... THE KIDS LOVED IT AND I HAVE HAD TO GO BUY MORE. LAUGHS. WELL I HAD BETTER GO DO SOME UPDATING ON MY PROFILE, IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I UPDATED IT. GOD BLESS, LORI

Lori...I hope you get better soon. I know its tough being sick any time of the year but in the summer as hot as it is here, i know its tough. Take care of yourself and if you need anything let me know neighbor. denise
