WHATS HAPPENING FOR WEDNESDAY

Jan C.
on 9/30/08 2:12 pm - Cedar Creek, MO

AAA got Michele little truck , I guess that is what you would call it. It is a Kia sportage. 4 wheel drive so I guess it is like a baby truck lol

Anyway they got it hauled back over to the guy we bought it from. He has a garage and a good reputation in Forsyth. So I really think he will check it out and fix what ever it is that is wrong. I know that when you buy used you take your chances but when it tears up within a couple of weeks you get really upset too.

They said they would get to it first thing in the morning to check and see what is wrong.

This guy in Holiday Island has one of the little hand held computers and he said it didn’t show anything on that  but the big ones might show something different.

Anyway we will see.

 

Beautiful day, I spent most of it outside cleaning flower beds. Oh how I hate this time of the year,,,no flowers for several months now. Oh well we can spend the time riding the trike now. I am thinking about adding a lot more perennials to the flower beds so I don’t have to spend so much time planting and caring for  them…but that is one of my passions so don’t know …

 

My mums are looking really pretty this year. I have just about every color there is I think.

Some of them have gotten so big this year that I may have to transplant some of them.

I can always make more of them by breaking off pieces and planting them in a planting medium…I have made extras of them a lot of times. One of the easiest plants to reproduce. And one of the cheapest.

 

 

Hope we have no frost while we are gone on this trip we are planning in a couple of weeks. Don’t want to lose my elephant ears and cannas …at the first frost you have to go out and cut them all back to the ground and then if it is going to be continued that cold cover them with straw. But usually you don’t have to cover them that quick because the first frost is generally a fluke that just comes along and ruins things then warms back up . lol  spoil sport of sorts.

 

I have an area over by the burn pit that is bare and needs some color so I have been taking my balsum and ****scombs and putting them in that area so the seeds from them will plant it full for next spring and summer be sort of like a wild flower bed in among the trees…

 

 

ANDY::::: so what did Susans doctors have to say? Did the wound doctor take care of the piece of skin that was loose on her toe?

 

I did get out and walk I guess while you all were gone, did you walk this afternoon.?

 

 

 

SUGAR;;;;;; NO  we bought her a little Kia sportage  4 wheel drive and I never know whether to call it a truck or a car. It is small like a car but it is 4 wheel drive like a truck. lol

She seems to think she is a jinx to everything. I don’t know how or what she is going to be one day to the next. She is going thru every emotion she can it seems.

She didn’t go to church , the lady that was suppose to come by and pick her up never showed  up so that was that. I don’t know if she is open to it again or not now. That door seemed to close for now. But God will open it again when she is ready to listen.

She is doing pretty good but then she will start thinking and think that how could she have been so blind and stupid. Then that makes the tears come. Anyway she will get thru all of it im sure. She is stronger than she thinks she is. I know she is , Im trusting God to keep her safe and she just has to work thru it all.

 

We will be leaving on the 15th for our trip to the Changing of the Colors Ralley in Hatfield. And then we may go on down to La to visit a friend of mine or down to Texas to visit our sister …but we have to be back on the 22 for my hematologist doctors appt.

Yuck, im not looking forward to that.

I have to go this next Sunday night to the sleep clinic at 9pm for the second half of my sleep study. The one with the c pap machine. They said that everytime I got down into REM sleep I quit breathing and forced myself to wake up but I don’t remember doing that . looks like you would remember waking up and why doesn’t it? Weird.

Anyway I guess that it doesn’t matter if you lose lots of weight you still can have sleep apnea. I thought it was mainly if you were overweight that caused a lot of it and they said that some it is true but not for everyone.

 

Hey take your senior on a hayride lol and an old fashioned night time bonfire with roasting hot dogs and marshmallows etc.. that was good fun when they were kids I bet.

Maybe stir up lots of good memories. Sing alongs  and the camp fire.

Don’t know do you think they would like that?

 

Yeah that sounds like a good deal with going to KC maybe do some shopping..

 

 

SHERR:::::: you whine away , if this helps you deal with all you are going thru then we are more than willing to listen. Sometimes that alone makes it better you know. We do care and want you to know that even if we don’t have a solution we do care.

 

We love you too. Keep your head up and your heart light.

 

 

DEB::::::: didn’t mean to get you thinking too deeply about the noodles vs potatoes, right now if that is one of the things that you can eat so be it. Cause you cant eat enough to make much difference anyway. But just was saying so you would know that there really isnt much difference in noddle or potatoes. I do eat a bite or two of either one now and then, we just cant eat nothing but …

Did your doctor appointment go all right?

 

 

SHEILA::::: yeah that is what she says about her and a car too. That she things she much be jinxed….no such thing. Lol

Oh my did the scum bag get away and out of all of it again? hope we don’t have to come get you out of jail. Lol

 

 

 

BEC:::::: hello sweet thing. So glad to see you posting again.

Glad all the gas pains are gone. What is the other pain that you are saying you have, is it something new or just old pain that since you cant take anti inflammatorys that you are hurting again.

That is so great with the 30 pounds weight loss.

So you go to your week appointment on the 1st?

I thought you went today but I guess not.

 

Cant wait to see you and hope you are doing really good by then so we can shop or do something fun. Lol

 

Wow isnt that amazing about the blood sugar. And you can have bouts of dropping blood sugar when you have had this surgery. So watch for that too. If you haven’t eatern enough or protein shakes or what ever you can get really weak and shaky and it is because of low blood sugar.

 

I miss you too sweetie. We will get together again soon…I have been back and forth with Michele so much lately that I haven’t had as much time as I would like for my friends…but I figure that she needs me right now and she is really trying to get things straightened out. we are backing her up with the good decisions she is making ,

God is in all of it and is holding us all together.

 

No I don’t know of anyone that knows about Jeanine////anyone???

 

 

BARBARA   S::::: loved the pictures and you look so tiny inbetween those two big ole grandsons. Lol that is what I look like inbetween any of my grandkids. Some more so than others. Even the youngest one who is 9 is as tall as me and a whole lot bigger.

Love the baby in her cheerleading outfit. Lol

 

 

PEGGY::::: oh we so hope that you enjoy being with us from now on. You are like a breath of fresh air …keep coming to the boards , yes you have a lot to give to others.

That is very interesting the style that your surgeon uses. I wonder if he still does his surgeries like that. Doesn’t sound like a bad thing you just have to know what your limits are and wait and find out each time you eat huh?

Your walking before surgery sounds like mine, I was doing good if I could walk to the mail box to get the mail each day. There were many days I couldn’t and it is like 30 feet from my front door. That is so sad, and now I don’t know how far I could walk but I have walked all day long at times seeing things at a fair or something to that effect.

Feels so very good ….i don’t ever want to go back to being ole fat Jan again.

Oh that would be so great if you and Bec could meet up at your appointments tomorrow.

Let me know if that works.

 

 

BEV::::: lol just know that you aren’t alone with the constant fight against all the carbs that are out there to eat. Don’t know why we are so in love with carbs but they sure do taste good I guess.

Keep fighting and going to work out. it is your best thing you can do for yourself…

Don’t know how you keep working two jobs. I thought you were going to quit the one job….dont work so hard that you don’t have time for you.

Yeah I know what you mean about winter. I love this time of the year tho. But im already getting cold and having to bundle up in the evening.

 

 

ANGIE::::seems that is the way it always is with cars or trucks , you get them paid off and they fall apart , wonder how they know that? Sounds like it could be a fuel pump or else you have junk in the gas tank that it is sucking up when it gets too low on gas.

Yeah listen to me I have my mechanic s lic. Lol .

Wish I did wouldn’t have to depend on someone else then. Could fix them myself.

Sorry you have been so sick, good thing you have had the good chicken broth…I am making some tomorrow. I think my tummy needs it instead of some of this other stuff..

Anyway sounds really good.

Oh yeah that elf site can do the picking of the secrete pals too for you. …I have never sit it up for a drawing just have used it for secrete santa with another group.   

 

 

LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL

GOD BLESS.

Good Morning Dear Missouri,

Was another day like the last few....

Lve this weather getting chilly.  When I walked last night it was so nice! 

I have to make this short as I have to get on my routine before I leave for the Dr. appointment today.

Mimi ~ e pain I am having is like my stomach is hanging low and pulling everything so far south it's tight as a rubber band ready to snap, and then of coarse some of it is old back pain too.... I feel like I need one of those support things around my tummy to hold it up... I've never carried my weight low, it hurts!

I'm so sorry about Michele's "truck".... I am praying strength and courage for you all!  And that this man stands behind the thing and fixes it.

Sugar ~ where are you going to the mountains?

{{{Deb}}} ~ sorry your Dr. appointment didn't go very well.  I hope you get it all worked out.  Hang in there.

Sheila ~ so glad you are feeling better and I hope court turned out better this time.

Barbara ~ the "Baby" is sooo cute!  Her outfit is adorable! you can sure tell she is loved!  Such nice pics you posted, was fun looking at all of them.

Bev ~ hope you are able to get in a good routine that is healthy for you and you feel comfortable with.  Your weight loss has been so phenomenal!

Peggy ~ hope you find out today what is wrong with you.  Sorry we will miss each other at the office but I sure don't blame you for not wanting to be in rush hour traffic!

Janet ~ I am thinking of you and praying for you dear friend.

Lynette ~ am also praying you are doing well and will have a good recovery!

Well better get off here and get busy so I will be ready to leave in a while, have to wash some clothes, get in my shake, egg, water, walking, and so forth.... I'm not looking forward to the bumpy ride but will take a pillow and hope for the best.  I will be glad to get these staples out they are pulling.... I have six sites that have staples in them... they are all healing very well .... the drain hole still has a bit of drainage but nothing very bad and it looks well.. I'm thankful for that, beings I'm a diabetic.

Hope every one has a good day and I will post the date of my next appointment tomorrow so we can start making plans for some to come the city if they want too..... oh how fun that would be!

Have a good day all,
bec

Poor girl, sure was hoping she made it to a church and got that in her blood instead of the other stuff that has been circulating there! God can and wants to do so much for her. But if she is thinking she can be jinxed then God's not in that and I will pray she will in her heart know that...

I hope the guy stands by the car but if you bought it with no warranty, it will probably cost money to fix it.

So where is Jason now? Is he still in jail? Hopefully she wont have to deal with him anymore.

I sure hope the colors are changing for you when you go south, Ive noticed a few trees around here with some changes...the peak in Asheville area is supposed to start the 10th and run thru the 25th and we will arrive on the 11th so cant wait for that. It is so gorgeous out there anyway...

I thought about a hay ride for my people but I have several who are either in wheelchairs or walkers or canes and Im afraid they wouldnt go because of that (loading and unloading on a trailer) and it would be bad to not do something we all can do. And besides, most of them dont like doing things late (after dark) cause they dont like driving at night...

Ok Bec, let us know as soon as you know about the appt and we will make plans...sounds like fun.

We are going to Asheville, NC. I just went 3 years ago with a friend, but we were making this trip mainly for my mil but since she cant go, we are going just the 2 of us and see the beauty out there together. When driving up on the blueridge parkway, every turn took my breath away..the colors are so gorgeous. We also will tour the Biltmore mansion and gardens, and do a few other things while there, Grandfather's Mtn. and Chimney Rock, Lake Lure etc. It is going to be great fun. If I had my drathers, I would live at the beach and in Asheville during the fall. lol

Sure hope everyones Dr appts turn out great...

Sis, at the hemotologist, will they just draw more blood or what? Or is it to get reports on what has already been done? Hope the sleep study goes well.

Well, I guess Ill get off and get started with my day. Got to go to the gym...wow...3 days in a row! lol!

Love and my LORD'S blessings on you all!

 

GOD is my ROCK!   SUGAR

I am trying to stay as busy as I can, it seems like time is dragging. I still have almost six weeks till my surgery and it feels like it will never get here. I am all over the place with my emotions. One minute I am so happy its happening then I get scared. I wish my date had been closer so I didn't have this much time to worry. I thought I would be eating everything in sight but I have almost no a desire to eat. I hope that continues. I would like to thank everyone for their posts. I have gone back and read alot of older ones and they have answered most of my questions. I look forward to being able to meet all of you.
I wish I were heading to Ashville with you. It is beautiful. I grew up 60 miles from there and I do miss it. Being a military family I have lived in a lot of places but it never seems to be close to family. I think we are here to stay ,at least for a long time. My dh says when we become grandparents we will move to them but my boys have no plans of that. Both are single and in no hurry.The oldest is here , anyone know a single girl? I am not beyound matchmaking.(lol)
Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning OH peeps!  Man my lower back on the right side is hurting a little.  I did this machine last night at the gym your twisting to the side supposed to help those love handles.  I knew today I would be sore after my workout last night but I'm headed back to the gym this morning before work. 

I had this dream last night that people kept saying I was too thin and saying that I was anorexic.....Can you imagine that after weighing 352 pounds being too thin that people called you anorexic?  I don't think I would ever be anorexic I love food too much....ha, ha

Jan, I thought about ditching the 2nd job but decided that I better keep it cause I can work there when school is not in session for like the breaks, and teacher conferences etc.... cause I don't get paid at the school during breaks and stuff.  They have 10 days off at Christmas can't afford not to work for 10 days.....

I want to get me some mums to go with all my decorations I'm going to be putting outside this year for Halloween/fall.  I've started I have a scarecrow and a hay bale just got to put my lights and stuff up and window decor.  I love holidays and being able to decorate. 

I have a question about vitamins.  I have read about how a lot of people are starting to take prenatal's with stool softner are those supposed to be better or something?  I mean prenatal's?  I don't think I need a stool softner yet anyway. 

Saturday they are having this big event here in Wichita called "Woofstock" it's a huge dog event where they raise money for the local humane society.  I'm going to go and take my 2 babies I think it's going to be fun so I'm looking forward to that.

Well, I guess I better get myself to the gym I want to get it over with so I can do something else before I have to be at work at noon.  Take care everyone and have a beautiful day!

Hey Bev!!  About the Prenatals,  the Dr.s at MO Bar want us to be on Bariatric specific Vitamins or the Premier Prenatals.  Insurance covers the prenatals & since they have the iron & stool softener that is 2 other pills that I don't have to buy.  Plus it's only once a day.  I was having trouble getting the chewables down.  YUCKY!!!    ~Angy

Good morning Everyone.
 Wow it is chilly out there this morning. But guess it is to be expected. Fall is here. All the leaves are falling of my beautiful trees. Makes the yard look aweful. But Kids are haveing a blast raking leaves and jumping in the piles.
 {{{{{{Jan}}}}}}-Dr really upset me yesterday, i posted about it. He didn't wanna hear what i had to say and argued with me. Said i had to get in 1000 calories a day. I'll let him live in his world i'll live in mine. No way can i get in that many calories a day, At least not yet. But if it makes him feel better thinking i can then ,He should be feeling pretty good today.
I can have cooked soft veggies now,so i was thinkin{ I have a warped mind} but anyways i was thinkin how good some cooked cabbage would taste, So i go to walmart find the biggest head they had, Like i was gonna eat the whole head anyways LOL. Brought it home put it to cookin, Nikki comes home from school walks in the front door and yells, Who farted.LOL. Kid's gotta love em.
 Well after it was done i got about a teaspoon and a half of it and i think 2 tablespoons came back up. Sure sounded like a good idea, tasted good to start with , But won't be doing that again anytime soon.
 I can start reg cereals now too, But afraid to even try those. Used to be i would almost eat anything that didn't eat me first, Now i am afraid to eat anything. But i hear it will get better, So i am waitng patiently[ Tapping Foot} LOL.
Jan, Can i bring my impatience plant inside for the winter? Will it continue to grow and bloom? I have a beautiful hanging fern also. What do i do with it? I wanna start a couple hickory nut trees also. Can i just take the nut from a tree and put it in pottting soil? will it take root and start that way?My son has a hickory nut tree in his yard and the nuts on it are huge this year. I have never seen hickory nuts that large, They are beautiful. Can ya'll tell i am easily amused? I get excited over nuts lol.
 Nikki called her mom last night of course she didn't answer the phone and never returned her call. Nikki ask me why her mom never calls? What am i suppose to say? So i just tell her maybe she was working and was busy and maybe she will call tomorrow, Well tomorrow will come No phone call and i'll be making up another excuse for the woman just so Nikki's heart isn't broken.Some women should be spaded at birth this was one of those women LOL. Well then i wouldn't have Nikki and I am so very Thankful God has put her in my life. But ya'll know what i mean I hope LOL.
{{{{{{{{Janet}}}}}}}}}}}- Missed you yesterday,Hope all is ok, Hope the butt is healing and feeling better.
 {{{{{{{{{{{Bec}}}}}}}}}}}}- Hope your pain is better today and you are doing better. And wtg on yur weight loss at the rate yur going, yu'll be in that thong in no time LOL..   Love Ya 
 Andy- Hope Susan is doing ok and that Dr got her toe skin taken care. Was glad to see where your legs havent been swelling. That is great.
Sheila- I don't know what went on last year, But i hope the guy got what was coming to him in court. But if not how much is your bail? LOL

Good morning...

We made it back to the gym today after I wussed out yesterday.  I didn't sleep the night before and 5 am isn't going to happen on no sleep.  So the alarm went off, I told him "skip" and no problem since he hadn't slept well either.  But we were back today, him blaming me and I blaming him.

I've decided after I see my surgeon today I am going to get a copy of my labs and go to my PCP and discuss changing my thyroid meds and possible getting something to help me sleep that doesn't make me feel stupid.  I am weaning myself off of Topamax since it doesn't help my headaches and I feel so doped when I'm on it (my nurses call if Dopamax and it fits) but I am concerned that the seizures will increase.  That is my next question...if the seizures are 'anxiety related' will they increase if I discontinue the Topamax since it is also an anti-seizure med?  These are all questions that I need to ask some doctor but it seems that they all went to medical school just to learn to say "I don't know" and then send you to another specialist.  sigh....I'll figure it out somehow.

Sugar...I am so glad you're home safely and had such a good time.  And I am loving that you are getting to go again.  I can't wait to take time to travel and enjoy some of the beauty of this country.  We are usually in such a hurry to get where we are going that we forget to slow down and enjoy the ride.  We are getting better as we are getting older and I love to go riding around and seeing the sights.  I envy both you and Jan and her trike.  Take lots of pictures...if I ever get to see you all I want to see where you've been.  Any ideas on your Sr. Adults yet?  I try to think of fellowships for our church and it seems to get harder and harder.  One year I had a "magician" come in (my husband) and I indicated that David Copperfield was scheduled but had to cancel at the last minute and Marko the Magnificent had agreed to fill in.  He then proceeded to do the worst magic act ever with me as his assistant.  The best part was the disappearing lady where I tried to sneak off the stage (obviously) as he tried to keep the audiences attention so they wouldn't see me.  It was actually pretty funny since we tried to be so horrible.  I usually do some kind of theme show and then have a time for a sort of talent show.  We did the hoedown this past year so I can't help you there.  But if you have any good ideas, I may have to steal them...sorry, borrow them...

Deb...(Pooh)...you need a new doctor...period.  Shame on him.  And I am so sorry about Nikki's birth mom.  She doesn't understand or care how hard this could be later in life for this little girl.  Thank God she has you and Gail for some stability.  That will help her more than you can understand.  You hang in there and understand that you are doing the right thing by loving her unconditionally, farts and all.

Sherr - you hang in there.  Don't let these things get you too down, I know, I know, easier said than done.

Bec....travel safely today.  Sorry I will miss you but hopefully we can have a girls day with a bunch of us next month or later this month.  Depends on your one month follow up.  

Well...I need to get off my duff and start getting ready for my day.  Hope you all are well and have a great day.

Peggy

Dear Auntie Jan Jan and OH Peeps~

I just wanted to get in here quick-like and check in. You would NEVER ever believe, in 1000 years, the day I had yesterday!! I dont have near enough time to post everything right now-so I hate to START the post-LOL...But-my day pretty much started with trauma-I had to get my gun out of the safe because of some FREAK that came out here to sell us some "fruit". Had to yell at Jon and put him in his room and shut the door and then let my big dog out. He bit that guy I dont know HOW many times! Of course-Mikes parents who live down the trail a couple acres away (cant see their house from ours tho) and then grandma who lives at the end of our 1/4 mile long driveway-ALL were gone! Not that it would have mattered too much anyway-my phone fell on the concrete and ended up in 4 pcs!

Then....To add insult to injury-I ended up going to town to JUST do Megans laundry and Vikki never showed up-so I did some of her work, but what got me-is that Megan didnt go to school....but she wasnt there-she was running around while I was doing her freaking laundry!! Now, dont get me wrong, Its by far a HARD job-washing stuff-BUT....I do that to help them with THEIR RENT-and I dont take a dime for it-and it cost ME $10.00 each time I go do her laundry-and last week and the week before-I was in there doing her laundry and found out she was off doing God only knows what. I told her that IF I was going to be coming into town and doing HER job-when SHE could do it-then they needed to give me gas money-crap on that! I love her and I will help her any way that I can-but I do NOT want to be taken advantage of-and I feel like I am. If your not resting OR going to school OR a dr appt-then you can do it yourself-not have me doing it for you, right? Maybe I am just being emotional because yesterday was a very very emotional, stressful, traumatic day for me and Mike.

Ok-so.....I have this letter from Stephanie when I get to Megans yesterday. She informs me that since she lived with her grandma colette (Erics womb) that she just cannot eat any red meat anymore-she is going to be a vegetarian-and then she informs me of the food she wants me to start buying for her AND also how she wants her money this Friday cause she has plans for the weekend. ????? HUH????? Excuse me? Ok-I can handle the yogurt, I can handle the chicken, the fish-ONLY, she has SPECIFICS on there-and NOTHING can be generic. She wants it ALL ORGANIC-even the chicken. She wants special water and drinks. Special cheeses....WAIT ONE MINUTE, PRINCESS! I WANT A NEW CAR, A CRUISE FOR MY ANNIVERSARY, MONEY IN THE BANK-AND.......KIDS THAT ARE GRATEFUL for what I DO FOR THEM! HA! WHEN DO I GET WHAT "I" WANT? She wants certain cereals and NOT off brand. IF she had been home, I think I would have LOST MY COOL WITH HER! OH HELL, NO YOU DIDNT! Oh yeah, so "I" went to the store last night. I got some of the shopping list-and Friday when I get my disability-she will have the choice of spending HER part on the difference between what I would purchase OR the other stuff. PLEASE dont think I have anything against organic and all that-I sure dont-BUT....this "special" stuff she has listed-is like she is royalty. When I talked to her last night, she said, well-grandma colette didnt feed me this or that AND she got ME used to eating this way-WHATEVER-you lived with her for 2 weeks! Blow smoke up someone elses rear end-mines full! She is also joining some vegan group AND PETA. ARGH!!! At the end of the letter, she also explains to me that since she is taking night school 2 days per week (to make up credits from failing classes last year) that she doesnt feel like she can work right now-and yet, she wants her drivers license and wants ME to agree to put her on MY insurance OR pay the difference in my moms insurance. My mom asked me about it yesterday and I told her NO WAY! She HAS to work for that, JUST like Megan did-I AM NOT handing it to her. SHE WILL WORK to pay her insurance OR she WILL NOT HAVE HER LICENSE. PERIOD! She doesnt even want to work to pay for a cell phone-so SHE doesnt have one right now-I would NOT pay the deposit OR put her on my plan......I told her that IF she got a job-she could have one-it wasnt worth it to her-so she doesnt have one-and yet-its best, cause she isnt on the phone all hours of the day and night and I feel like its helping her concentrate on her schooling and all of that.

Then.....last night, I went to help at the slot car track because they have a series race this Saturday and I didnt have to do anything strenuous-just do register and stock some stupid little parts on the displays right there by the register. Ok-well, when I went to see the nurse practioner-she had me taking cough and congestion medicine-along with antibiotics **** and Monday night-or Tues morning, I should say-about 4 am, I got the dry heaves so bad I thought I was going to vomit up my insides......well-it happened at the track last night-BUT....In addition to that-I was losing conscienceness. It kept happening and the whole time I am dry heaving, sweating really bad-passing out for a few seconds.....I stumbled out of the bathroom the first time it started-and Mikes friend Norman, came and grabbed me and yelled for Mike-I guess I didnt realize how bad I looked-I was headed 5 feet maybe-to the register area. Mike came over-and all the sudden, they were taking me to the car and off to the ER.....I THOUGHT I was going to die. I really thought I was headed to the big house. The whole time Mike is driving me-I was heaving and coming in and out of it....WELL-the dumb nurse practioner, GIVEN ALL THE MEDS I AM ON FROM THE PAIN MANAGEMENT DOC-had me taking meds that interacted WITH my cold medicine and I was O.D.ng!!! TALK ABOUT SCARY! OMG! And here is the BAD THING-I DID tell her EVERYTHING I was taking and she said-Oh, no-it will be okay....GOOD THING-I havent been taking ONE of the meds from the pain management doc because of HOW strong it is and it knocks ME on my butt-and I have a very HIGH PAIN TOLERANCE-so you KNOW how strong that is!!! 2nd GOOD THING-Because I started to feel better-instead of taking the cough/congestion prescription every 4 hours like it called for-I had only taken it twice. Monday night, Tues night! My head STILL feels a little foggy today. I am MORE than happy to be alive-THANK YOU, JESUS~!!!! THANK GOD! Thanks for the emails I got saying Im praying for you and some of you didnt even know what was going on with me-The Lord was laying me on some hearts-for that reason!

Well, I have to get off here and go to town. Before that, I have to go get the dogs a troft, I mean some water-We had to take them out of their pen today and they are locked up in the pool fenced area because the siding people are coming today to take measurements and they needed to get in there-well....there is a snake in the water of the pool that the dogs keep barking at-I SWEAR that IF they go in the water-they are staying there. I AM NOT going in there!!!! LOL...So far they havent tried. At any rate-I have to get. I WILL get on here later today and finish. I have some other stuff to tell you about the morning and then some responses to get on here for some of my peeps!

My prayers to everyone who needs them! Thinking of all of you and your situations. Love and prayers and have a good Wednesday! Love, Janet

Good Morning Everyone!!!  Not a whole lot going on here this morning.  We left the windows open last night & it's really cold in the house.  I didn't go for my walk yesterday.  My legs hurt so bad I could hardly waddle around the house.   Skyler's having trouble with her joints hurting again.  I guess it never really stopped, but it has definitly gotten worse.  She was seen at the Reumatology department at Cardinal Glennon Hospital in St. Louis & had a bunch of tests done.  The nurse there told me to call & get the results.  But I've called & can't get anyone to return my calls.  So, Skyler's pain has gotten worse since school has started up & running in PE & doing really strenuous stuff makes it worse.  She laid in bed the other night hurting & I told her that I would write the coach a note to explain her problem,  She cried & cried because it hurts her to run & play with the other kids.  She didn't want me to write the coach because she wouldn't be able to play, but at the same time, she hurts so bad.  I don't know what to do to help her.  I took her to the Dr. yesterday & they gave her some Naproxin, hopefully this will help. 

Deb, I think you should've kicked that Dr. in the . . . Well, maybe just switch Dr's.  He obviously knows NOTHING about WLS & therefore shouldn't be careing for them.  Hopefully you can find a good one that is knowedgeable & really cares.

I guess I'm gonna get off of here maybe try to go for a walk, probably not the 2 miles, but every little bit helps I guess.   I hope everyone has a great day!!
