Monday, Monday!

Good Afternoon All!

Oh I loved seeing the sun this morning!

QOTD- Well mine was spend in the Emergency Room with another CT scan of my head - still couldn't keep anything down since my car accident on Wednesday . .. you'd think I would loose a few pounds . . no!   I just got home from the surgeon and all my injuries to my elbow and forearms are soft tissue injuries so I'm glad about that.  The big lumps will go away on my head in time.  Will be home for another week though so I can get my body back in shape and hopefully all my bruises will go away.  Going to take my family out for dinner tonight and go for a small walk.

Deb the baby looks so cuddly . . . and I can almost smell him.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

I'm sure knowing your elbow is not broken is a relief, that is a painful area to injure.  I didn't realize you were having problems keeping anything down though....hopefully they can figure it out soon.

Good luck,

Edie

OMG Kristy, I didn't know of your accident.  What happened?  Sounds like you got pretty much bounced about eh?  Not fun having a head injury.  I hope you're feeling better soon.
Last night we went to Costco and bought diapers (258) and wipes (1,000) for our new grand due in Dec.  I know the kids will appreciate it, and was I shocked when I realized the price for those two big items were over $60.00, just to clean up some crap!  Wow.  They're definately going to need our help in the diaper department.
Hope you get some rest today.

Jan- Just getting caught up on the posts for the last week.  I was in a car accident last Wednesday afternoon.  I was with my daughter, she was driving and we were stopped to make a left hand turn when a young man thought she would turn . . . he was sending a text message and not paying attention and hit us going about 55 mph they think . . . I really don't remember much other than the van was lifted up and the gas tank . . which was just filled 5 minutes before the accident was leaking out on the road and all I could think about was catching fire . .
My daughter is doing very well . . YOU KNOW YOUTH . . I had a concussion and a possible fractured right elbow.  We were very bless . . I just saw the pictures of the van and all the windows on the side and back were broken out but I don't remember much . . . I do remember being in the ambulance and wanting to make sure still had my cell phone so I could call you husband on Thursday to make sure you got through you surgery fine . . .

I will be off from work another week - have tons of ugly bruises and still some swelling on my right arm  . . big bump on my head but I'm a tough old bird so I'll be fine.

Take care of you . . . .

Right, your priorities are in the right place...need that cell phone!  Thanks for thinking of me.  And praise God you're doing ok without any major injuries.  Wow.  Did they ticket the young man?  I would hope so, and hope your daughter is able to get a new van out of this thing.  Make sure you relax and just heal, gee, where have I heard that recently?   I got a two hour nap this afternoon and plan to take a xanax tonight so I can sleep.
I decided that crushing my pills was just too painful to try to get down.  I read that someone's doctor had said if the pill is the size of a birth control pill it's ok to take it, so one of my pills I break into quarters and take down with CL.  Much easier that way.  It'll take a while to get used to trying to get all the protein in.  Can't wait to get pintos and cheese from taco bell.  I can have that on Friday  :)  Already looking forward to trying regular foods again.  No dumping or real pain yet.  I'm taking benefiber to try to firm up my stools so hopefully that'll work.
Relax and enjoy the lovely days that are promised this week.

Hey Jan,
I was always told that as long as the pill is no bigger than an M & M it is ok.  I never did crush any of mine, although I did take liquid multis for the first few months.

Be careful with the pintos and cheese.  It has that red sauce on it, and you might not do well with that at first.  Some people can't do spicy for a while and have to work up to it.  I tried them about 3 weeks out and couldn't keep it down.  Then I tried it without the sauce and it was fine.  I just waited a while before I tried it again.
