WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY

Hope everyone enjoyed the sun today, and you all dried out some. We had lots of storms and tornados around yesterday. I hope it didn’t hit some of you . The flooding is still bad and it is suppose to start raining again tomorrow and continue into the week end. Please any of you that are in a dangerous spot you need to really keep an eye on the water levels.

It can rise so quickly sometimes.

 

Joe and I took advantage of the pretty weather and unloaded the truck load of poop lol

Couldn’t do it yesterday afternoon since it started raining again as soon as we pulled into our driveway yesterday good thing we had a carport to pull under.

 

Later on after cleaning up we went to town and got a few things that we needed.

While we were in town the granddaughter who just moved out of our guest house called and said they were going to come out for a while so they got there about the time that we got home and stayed for supper . I had a pot of ham and beans on all day and made some cornbread for them and  sliced up a honey dew melon. I had about a tablespoon of the beans and ham a very small piece of cornbread and a fair size slice of the melon. Then ran in and chewed a couple of gas=x tabs right away. I have been having the worse gas in the world here lately , I know tmi, but it really has been being bad all of a sudden. Nothing new except drinking more protein shakes , you think that could be it? And since I feel like im getting my protein in I am eating more veggies that more likely is it. Because my favorites really cause gas a lot

 

Just spoke to Craig on Yahoo for awhile. he sounds like he is doing well and enjoying his job.

 

 

TRACI: LOL when you had your son did your husband think you were kidding when you said you needed to go to hospital?

 

Hope you got all the work done today that you wanted to.

Thanks for the info on caffeine.

 

 

NUTTI: wow amazing all the weight you have lost , you are so inspiring to so many people.

You really like those tie dye things huh. The ones I have seen in your pictures are really pretty. I tried doing that once long time ago and it didn’t work it all came out the same. Lol

Hey mos****er aerobics classes will let you wear shorts and a top for the classes. I wear bike shorts when I go. I don’t want anyone seeing anymore of this flab than is necessary.

Im glad that you have a job you enjoy. That makes a big difference.

 

Sure wish you would come back to one of our meetings in Springfield . I would love to see you again.

 

Keep up the good work.

 

 

VESTA::: I know it was doing it all night long and making so much noisy

 

I like that about going around the corner.  Im ready if you are. Maybe  together we can run off old man winter. Lol

 

 

 

JANET;;;;Well im wondering how your nerve blocking stuff went today. I sure hope it worked

Oh the whole web site was closed for maintenance really. That is why you couldn’t get on I think.

 

Well you poor girl out fixing fence in rain and lightening and such.

Really anxious to find out what happened yesterday.

 

 

 

DEBBIE  D:::::sounds like you and your hubby and Jake all had the same thing Joe and I had last week. Didn’t last but about 24 hours seems like. I think Joe sucked it for all it was worth. Lol

Hope everything else is going well for you.

 

 

CONNIE:::::That is awesome that you like your job. Those are long long hours for sure.

 

You will be in those size 12a soon just wait , you will go to put them on and they will just keep going up and up.

 

So sad about the young mad shooting himself. I heard that I think on the news. Is a sad thing for him and his family but for all of his school friends too.

Will keep all involved in prayer.

 

 

MELISSA:::: wow you all really need to get something on this brother and maybe get him out of your life. Is the idea that he wants his son ? is that it?

 

When do you all see the judge about the adoption.?

I am praying and praying for that to happen.

I will be anxious to see you too. That will be awesome.

 

 

SHANNON ::::: that is so good that you will get to have your surgery where you feel comfortable at. I certainly  hope this helps get rid of the drop foot.

Will be praying for you.

 

 

NANCY ::::: Don’t really know what to tell you , no I don’t have any words of wisdom on this. That was my undoing of being a mother. Feel free to rant and rave all you want to.here, you are amoung friends.

 

 GOD BLESS

 

Morning everyone! I got a lot of errands and such done yesterday, as everyone was gone and I could.     But didn't get the client work done I wanted/needed to, and not sure how much I'll get done today; I have my grandbaby today AND I'm getting two new dogs today!!  Squee!!!  I'm getting two new Cavalier King Charles Spaniels:  one is an 8 week old puppy and the other is his mother.  The breeder where I got my 2 year old Cavalier (Charlie) is getting out of breeding, this pup is actually a repeat breeding of my Charlie, so it's a full brother:  thus why I got him, and well.... the mother is gorgeous too, so she's coming to live the good life on my couch with her two boys.   So this will put me with 6 dogs:  4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and 2 Shih Tzu + 2 cats, 6 children, 1 grandbaby, 1 husband and a partridge in a pear tree.  King George of the Jungle (George) picture Hope - the Momma's picture Today is picture day at my kids' school - which they did not tell us until YESTERDAY!  So I have to get my girls up and fix their hair this morning extra picture-perfect special.  *sigh*  So I better get to getting my stuff done!  Have a great day everyone!!

Good Morning Jan and OH Peeps~ Yesterday was hectic for me. I had to go to KC to the pain management doctor. We left here about 11 am and I got home at 10:15 or so.  No news is good news so I will get to that in a minute.  The flooding I saw on the way to KC looks ten times worse than what we had here!!! My mom was sick, so I ended up with the kiddos going with me. They did pretty good though, and I am still thanking God for gameboys, because that sure helped keep the boys entertained. If I had been thinking-I would have hooked up our DVD players in Megans car and they could have each watched something-there are 2 monitors and they attach to your seat. Wasnt thinking tho. LOL....

So I see the new doc. She used to work at Freeman where I worked and we worked there for some of the same time! I loved her-although, I didnt like what she had to say. First, she was upset that three different docs here-and none have done testing to see WHY my back is numb in the 4 areas I cant feel anything. I had to have some labs and I also have to go for a bone density and cat scan. She said that with everything that is wrong with me AND my diagnosis's so far that I will never be totally pain free and she isnt going to pretend that she can do that for me, but that she would like to get my pain level at least down to a 6 and if we are lucky, a 5, tolerable, so I can enjoy life. She also said that its perfectly normal and to be expected to have a form of depression due to being in pain all the time-so, in the next 6 weeks we are going to work on pain control and then if I still feel depressed, she will treat me for that as well. Lets just say that I only THOUGHT I was hurting before I saw the doc yesterday. All of the poking, prodding and range of motions etc-was more than I could bear-and tears just kept coming-then the runny nose (dont you hate that?). I had been out of pain meds for almost a week-and I was experiencing withdrawls as well-the trip up there was rough on my back-Megans drivers seat-the bar comes out at you like the lumbar where you can adjust it on your seat-well, hers doesnt adjust-its like its stuck with it sticking into your back!!! Megan has been freaked out, to say the least-one of her neighbors downstairs was murdered-their apartment was ransacked-and they arent talking about it in the papers or on the news-and one of the police officers that went to the motel to help my dad with an eviction verified to Megan and my mom that yes, there was a murder in her apartment complex-but thats all he would/could say about it. So, we are waiting to see what happened- Today I have errands to run to get Stephs car taken care of, and go to get my scripts taken care of, so I am going to get this done and get started on my day. I hope everyone has a good Weds and as always, your in my thoughts and prayers.  Janet

Good Morning Missouri, Just have a minute this morning as it is to be the only day we do not have rain for the next couple of days... we must have had some very high winds while I was out trucking around the past two days.  So much blown over, away and broken on and around my house... but nothing serious, which I'm thankful for... so many suffering right now with the effects of all this incliment weather! Dr. visit went well enough, have some med changes, the Protonix seems to be helping... so will take that and hopefully by surgery time I will be healed up with the stomach problems.  I had hoped that having my gall bladder out would of fixed the throwing up and I do feel better but still get sick so much of the time when I eat... what went from 20+ times per month was down to just 4 last month with the new medication.  You would think I would of been skinny as a rail with all that! NOT! Bev, I'm so excited that you have lost 72 lbs. That is WONDERFUL! Brenda N., I didn't realize you were doing 4 weeks of liquid diet!  What a woman!  I'm praying for you! Traci, WOW you have a whole houseful of just pets let alone your children! tee hee  Goodness lady, how do you keep up with all that? Connie, I am so very glad for your success with surgery!  I just love to hear the progress of everyone... it gives me true joy to see so many get to do new things and become so much more content and happy! Sheila, glad to hear you got something to help get your dirt work done... I always thought I would like to have a "Mantis" tiller.  Does anyone out there have one? and if you do? do you like it? I have to get outside now before the day gets away from me... I just wanted to wish you all a great day and blessings a plenty! bec

Howdy Yall.... Wow it's so great to see sunshine this morning!!! Something tells me that in about 3 months or so we are going to be begging for some of this rain we have been getting.... I'd like to ask for prayers for my household and family! Different things going on and all that can really help with any of it is prayers....So if you will say a few for us I would appreciate it..... Noticed alot going on on the board..... Want to say CONGRATS to all those loosing!!! Isn't it wonderful...There are so many of you doing SOOOOO great!!  For you that are about to have surgery...Hang in there! All the feelings your having are completely normal...We all have had them.... THE LIQUID DIET!!!!....Seen several posts on that.....I agree..Seems so crazy that they would expect you to drop eating like that when that is the reason most of us got fat in the first place....We could not control putting food in our mouths for one reason or another....And yes, food is to dang tasty!!!! BUT.....If you keep in mind the wonderful changes this will bring about for you,YOU CAN DO IT!!!! For those who have to do it just for a few weeks. BE THANKFUL IT'S JUST FOR 2 WEEKS!!!! Some of us had to do it alot longer. I done mine for a bit over 3 months! At first it's no picnic at all but you will ajust and you will get the hang of it...And once you have surgery it's alot easier because you have the help of having such a smaller stomach.....THE REWARD YOU WILL GET FROM HANGING IN THERE IS UNDESCRIBEABLE!!! Wont be long at all and you guys will be on here posting about all your WOW moments!!!! So as Jan says..KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE!! You willlove yourself for it!!! And always remember if you feel alone in it all just come to the board. There are tons of us here that know where your coming from and will be more than glad to give you some extra support..... So good to see so many newbies about to hit the bench!!! Sending lots of prayers up for each of you that have any type of issues going on in your life... Hope you all have a great Wednesday... God Bless each of you..... Luv & Hugs...Tammy~ammy

Good afternoon OH friends!  It was kind of cool this morning I hope it warms up today? I am so excited cause I was able to come up with the funds to purchase my new bike, so I called them and they ordered the color I wanted and should be in Friday so I'm really excited about that now lets just pray for warm weather this weekend so I can ride it!  I'm going to take a picture of it and post it on my profile won't that be fun? I hurt my back the other day I think by lifting a microwave by myself?  I was hurting so bad Sat, and Sun that I could hardly get out of the car once I got in.  I almost went to urgent care I was hurting so bad.  I did go see a new PCP monday and I told her about my back and she thought I pulled a muscle in it said that it's very comon in people who have lost a lot of weight fast that they tend to pull muscles because their bodies are changing and the gravity is too????  She gave me some muscle relaxers, lortabs, and celebrex for it.  I stayed home from work yesterday and rested along with my heating pad and today I feel better that's as long as I don't move around a lot or twist.  This new dr. is running a bunch of blood work on me however I have bad veins (they are little and roll) so when they tried to take the blood they couldn't get anything after 4 trys so I have to drink lots and lots of water for 24hrs then go back.   I am having a hard time finding a protein bar that I like do any of you have any suggestions?  I have tried like South Beach and Pure Protein and I don't like either one of those! Bev~

Hi all yeah I know that I havent posted much but we have had some stuff going on that has kept us away from our normal routine..... first off hubby has walking pnuemonia.... daughter had strep throat...4 yr old has bronchitis.... me the 15 yr old and 7 yr old are all trying to hide from them....so just stopping in to say yeah we are still alive and here and  I hav lurked around some see you all soon

Hey all!  Happy Hump Day!  Yay, it's Weds!  Seems like everyone is doing well and having "normal" days.  I my old roommate got all over my case today, about having gastric bypass.  She told me I didn't need it and that I could just do WW again and I'd be fine.  I told her about the surgery and why I needed it.  We agreed to disagree.  I told her I just needed her to support me, even if she doesn't support my decision.  She understood that and started asking questions about the surgery.  I'm glad to have such a great friend that we can disagree, but still support each other.   So... I'm anxiously waiting until my scope! lol  I just want "something" to happen to let me know this is real!  Ok, I'm rambling and have no idea where I'm going with it, so I'll end it here!  I hope you have all had a great day and have a great night!  Here's to the end of the work week!

Howdy **** Peep's      Just popping in to say Hello. To much going on today to really get on here and post much. I will ask tho that everyone PLEASE keep us in your prayers. I finally had to chage our cellphone number cause ofmy borher-in-law's phone calls at all hours of the day n nite.  And everything else he has done, from hotlines to the senior citizen's abuse to DFS hotlines, to threats to kill me, burn that houe down with the kids inside, to tamper with the brakes of the car, ect. So needless to say my hubby & I could really use your prayers of support and strength!!! Thanks & GOD BLESS Mel & Terry
