WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Well my grandson, George, Micheles oldest son is in Clarksville with her now. And probably wont be to long before the other one will come up too. I think they have come to realize that she wasn’t as horrible as their dad made her out to be. And have finely realize that there is always two sides to every story, and that neither one of them was the total villain, I told her she has the chance now to be their friend and to help them navigate their early part of adulthood. Maybe along the way she can learn with them. Lol
Im anxious to see him. Micheles boyfriend said oh my lord Michele he looks just like you. And he does. He is a beautiful boy. Of course I think so as most grandmas think about their grandkids.
Today has sure been a bleak day, no rain but looking like it could any minute and cold. Only got up to 56 here today. Looks like that is going to be par for awhile. I have to really work at keeping myself from getting down in the dumps in this kind of weather. Just have to get on enough to stay warm and get outside and work is the best thing I can do for me….
Joe got up early today and went in and had his annual blood drawn …mainly for his cholesterol…would like to get him off of some his meds but I guess if it is doing some good he needs to stay on it. …he has just been on all of his meds for so long I think it is time to do a re eval of all of them….he is on two different depression meds that he was put on after his accident. But who wouldn’t be depressed right after his accident.
I called Cox hospital to pre register today for my surgery on November 3rd. Still have to go there on the 19th to get labs done..yuck im still not looking forward to having my left knee replaced but know that if im ever going to be able to walk well I have to get it done.
Everyone needs to get out their long handles. Brrrr. We are suppose to have temp in the low to middle 40s as our high…get the woolys out lol
JEANIE-RAE:::: lol kids!!!!! Can we just put all of them on a deserted island instead of us. Just know that you can come here and unload any time you need too. It does help when you unload what is really bothering you you are better able to handle the munchies etc….something I have just discovered. When you are trying to avoid carbs…go find some of the emerge C powders that you can put in your water. For some reason it helps cut down on carb cravings. And usually when we get upset about our kids, our life , our spouses or what ever, the first thing we want to eat is carbs. They are the things that we crave more than anything and we have to eliminate them or at least the bad carbs that we really want. We have to learn to sub. Them for good carbs. Like fruits and green veggies.
Just know that we are all here to listen …and sometimes that is all we need right? Just someone to listen…
I will put your son that is having child custody problems in my prayers. And maybe the other stuff that they all come to you about is just for attention. Just put up your hand and say unless someone is bleeding or in danger for their life I don’t want to hear it lol ….

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY
JAN COOK
Hi Auntie Jan and OH Peeps,
Good Thursday to you! STILL wet and gloomy....Eeyore would just be having a blast in Diamond, MO this past couple of weeks. I havent seen the sun in forever. I hate all the gray gloomy foggy wet weather....This is killing me physically and then emotionally you just get that yucky feeling, you know? I guess they are saying its going to stop raining for 2 days or so...Please-really? Probably will be nice and sunny next Tues, peeps-cuz I will be stuck in a hospital bed-it ought to be really nice out! We KNOW thats Murphy Law with me, so be prepared, its going to be nice while I am in the hospital!
Yesterday was CRAZY...Crazy day! Nothing went right and usually I can roll with the punches, but it was starting to get to me, and by late last night, I thought I was going to pull every hair out of my head!
On my way to my preop consult, I see my gyn at the stop sign on her way to the hospital and "I" am on the way to her office. Thats not good-that means I will be waiting because she is over delivering a baby. Just as I thought and so the nurse answered some of my trivial ?s, but.....I got some news that I wasnt prepared for and am sad about my options. My delimna: IF I have the TOTAL hysterectomy, which is what I WANT....I will have to be on hormones for up to a year, well....because I have had previous blood clots, and the hormones ARE COMPARIBLE to the birth control pills, just not as strong a dosage... I will have to be on coumadin (blood thinner) the whole time I am on the hormones. This is major. There are so many things you have to do. You bleed so easily.....how much greens you eat....bruise easier... the adjusting and the blood work...always having your blood drawn and so on. CRAP! OR.....they can do a partial and leave my ovaries and I dont have to do the hormones and blood thinners. BUT.....I have had several issues with my ovaries and several times had cysts on them and so on, AND I feel that IF I dont have them taken at the same time, it will come back to bite me in the butt-and I will have to have another surgery in the future to have them removed as well. My mom is 68 and had a partial when she was 25, and she has had issues with her ovaries even now-they are getting ready to do surgery on her to remove them. PLUS....IF they arent there...I wont have to worry about ovarian cancer. Theres another positive to me, since I am at that age. Im so confused. i have couple of days to think about it. I know what I WANT to do-but I also know how my life was when I was on coumadin before, for 6 months and then a lot of other docs dont like to do surgery on you while your on blood thinners-so there goes my tummy tuck for another year. I REALLY WANT MY TUMMY TUCK!
Ok, so not only didnt I get to see my gyn, but she didnt have enough time to sign my orders for my preop stuff at the hospital. The lady who was getting ready to deliver, was dialated to a 9 and so they asked if I could come back at 3 pm and do it all then, but I couldnt because I had to pick the boys up at 305 from school.....SOOOO, because I live in the middle of nowhere-I am having to go back tomorrow. I did get my pre-registration done, and that took 1/2 hour over the phone. I cannot take ANY vitamins or herbal anything now until after my surgery. Thats another thing I am worried about-I was not allowed to do anything herbal while I was on my coumadin. Am I going to have issues with all my vitamins and proteins post op if I have the total hysterectomy????
Well, while I am in the gyn office-Stephanie calls and her fuel filter is leaking and the man who was doing her oil change told her that she was going to blow up if she drove her car, so she was freaking out! I had to go to Joplin and took her to the auto parts store and bought a new clamp that hooks to the hose and put it on for her, cuz the nice gentleman who told her of the leak, only wanted to charge her 13.00 for the 2.00 clamp and then 37.00 to put it on...O, HELLLLLL NO! NO, NO, NO!!!! I was so angry! I let that jerk know about it and humiliated him in the waiting room, letting everyone know that he was going to charge Steph 50.00 for a 2.00 clamp and less than 5 minutes of work! WHATEVER.... Bend over here, and heres the jar of vaseline!
I had to go to Neosho too, and so I was running late for that......then..I get home and get the mail and theres a letter from the storage unit and someone has broken into our unit and I need to go see what all is missing. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? By this point, I am hurting so badly because of the weather and my arthritis and from my female issues-I am having the priviledge of one of my 30+ days of my period so far...ARGH! I will be so happy NEVER to have another stinking period-Well, IF I have the total. If not, I WILL still get my monthly! My issue at this point is that I have just gotten home from being in Carthage, to Neosho and then to Joplin and now i am home again and dont want to go back to joplin. I decide that I cant make anything reappear, right-so we will have to go today....
Now, as IF this isnt enough, I go out to the carport and theres a puddle under the Suburban, and its antifreeze. The hose was split and blowing all over the engine and now just leaking making the puddle.....so.....I call Mike. I ended up going over to the Blazer (same parts, same engine, thank God) and I get the hose off that radiator and I go and get it put on the Suburban. So now i smell and there is a huge mess and I am disgusted!
Come in and shower....sit down and start opening the rest of my mail-and there is a letter from the county about my personal property tax, and its got my old last name on the letter-so, whats up with that Im wondering until........I start reading and they are suing me for back taxes on my house I havent owned for 6 yrs AND.....when I sold the house, ALL of my personal property taxes WERE PAID UP! ALL OF IT...You CANNOT even sell a dang house IF your not caught up on it-they wont let you transfer the deed. It was paid and I do have the proof, BUT...the issue is having to deal with the crap and the calls and all of that..they are talking about putting a lien on my vehicles. Nice time to deal with it since tags are due the end of this month on the Suburban AND I havent talked about it on here yet-but Mikes friend is selling Mike a car. What a mess! Im frustrated! So, I make some calls on that-and still have a lot of time to deal with that before its resolved. ARGH.
THEN......Megan calls and she is at the ER with my diva (My grand-daugther Mackenzie). They are saying there is a good chance she has the H1N1 cuz she now has a rash, along with all the other flu-like symptoms, but rash on belly and back, shoulders etc and no, its not chicken pox, I said that, but they say no at the emergency room. Are you freaking kidding me? They sent her home! They arent keeping ANY flu patients unless its life threatening. They dont have the room for them! I was/am so freaked out! I cant even go hang out and help. Megan isnt up to par yet. Im so thankful that I kept my distance at the hospital Monday. Mask and gloves. I didnt go over to her house after either, I was too afraid to be around the baby since she was exposed to the Swine flu-since her cousins were both diagnosed with it, just a couple of days after Kenzie was around her!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep her in your prayers, along with Megan and the rest of the family. I appreciate it so so so much!
My son, Jon (6.5 yrs old), he stepped on my purse and.... the day I went and got Stephs cat from her, she gave me some sweet and sour sauce (from McDonalds). Jon really likes to dip his chicken strips AND french fries I make here at home in the sweet and sour sauce-so I keep the extras. WELLLLLLL.....I hadnt taken them out of my purse yet ANDDDDDDD, Jon stepped ON MY PURSE and two of the sauces BURST IN MY PURSE ALL OVER! OMG, are you kidding me? REALLY? REALLY? REALLY?
The one cute thing.....kids say the darndest things, dont they? Jon walks up to me yesterday, straight face and dead serious and says-Mom, I have a question for you and I WANT YOU to be honest with me, since no one else will be. Okay I tell him-shoot.....and.....he says to me-(are you sitting down?) "Mom, WHAT IS SEX?" I look at him, and must have looked like a deer caught in the head lights, because right away, without missing a beat, he says to me-"I asked dad and he told me that its something that old people do" I said-"oh, thats what YOUR DAD TOLD YOU?" and he says "Yeah mom, so that means YOU HAVE SEX ALL THE TIME?" At that point, my drink is spewing all over the place and it even ends up on Jons face! MICHAEL...MIKE...OHHHH DADDY, YOU-WHO! MIKE GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE! He walks in and is smiling, said he didnt quite know HOW to answer that, so thought Jon would be happy with THAT answer... However, Jon wasnt! Darrel was so hysterically laughing that he had to leave the room. YIKES. Said he heard some kids on the bus talking about it, and he wanted to know what they were talking about. Holy crap! I AM TOO OLD! LOL.....
Hope that made someone smile today. I sorta needed a reason to laugh yesterday, and that was it-I still smile when the whole scenerio replays in my head!
Well, I have to get. Have a ton of stuff to do today AND tomorrow too. I sure hope and pray everyone has a great day...the sun-nill come out two-morrow, bet your bottom dollar that two-morrow, therell be sun!!! LOL.... I hope. I am claiming it. tee-hee. Hope that helps!
**Jan-your ? about my surgery, I dont know WHY I like staying awake, but I really do so much better and I like it! SOOOO-Will see. I dont have that answer from her yet. I hope by tomorrow I will know the answer to that. I am also hoping that since she is going to use my c-section scar, that she will remove some of that extra skin there....crossing fingers and praying about that!
I will make sure your called. Thank you for offering to post since best buddy is in NC and not able to post for me. She was going to tell Larry she wasnt going-so she could be here with me during the surgery and recovery and I told her I wouldnt let her come if she did that! He is taking her to a nascar race and took her yesterday to the Dale Earnhart museum etc, she is having a blast and I KNEW She would, there was NO WAY I was letting her miss this opportunity because of my surgery....originally, I was told it would be the last week of Oct or first week of November, but because cir****tances changed and mikes boss had to cancel his appt up in MN due to health issues he is havng here and cant do it right now-I am able to do it next week.....
Anyway, thank you for that! I appreciate it. When you do post, you can post the phone number too...I think by that time, I will have my direct number to my room and can give that to you too..... Im really not sure about being at the meeting this month. 6 days post op, that trip may be too much. Love you and Joe.
**Jeanie-I replied to your post yesterday. hope you got it. If not, please go back n read it. Praying for you.
As always your in my thoughts and prayers. Janet

Janet, your life is a soap opera. Very funny about Jon asking about sex. I would have the deer in the headlights look too.
My husband has been on Coumadin since 1994 and it is evil. He has had several strokes and has a clotting problem so he has to take it. Avoid it if you can.

Hi Jo,
Im sorry your hubby has had to go through that! That stinks for sure!
I was on coumadin for 9 months after getting a blood clot in 99 after a knee surgery, but I was also put on the pill to regulate my periods. Well, my mom had gotten several blood clots from the pill and my grandpa also had one too....so Ive done my time and to be honest-I really dont know if I want to deal with it-BUT.....being that I have already had several cysts on my ovaries and such, Im not sure I want to deal with that, since my mother has been having issues and at 68 is having to have hers removed and has had several other surgeries where they had to go in and remove the cysts which were done vaginally so they didnt have to cut etc. (she had a partial 33 yrs ago) Anyway-thanks for the concern...this is why I am having such a difficult time making this decision!
Now, about your biopsy-I will keep you in my prayers!!! Maybe they didnt tell you what it was for, because they are just doing it to RULE OUT anything bad..... OR to give you a more accurate diagnosis. For instance, I had different problems I think (I dont know your whole history) but I had to have them 1. to see if I had cancer in the uterus 2. to see exactly what was wrong with me 3. to get the documentation to back up the necessity for the hysterectomy. After the results came back from that, I had to have the ultrasound and also the transvaginal. Please also know that IF you were NOT comfortable with what the nurse told you, you DO HAVE THE RIGHT to request the doctor call you back! I have done that before when I am not happy with information the nurses have given me OR not given me. Usually now though, if I request the dr call me, if they were snotty, they become nice and if they were with holding info, they get a little nicer about releasing my info TO ME.....maybe she didnt have your chart in front of her and didnt want to look stupid-LOL.....Who knows... All I know is after working for a hospital forever, it doesnt take much for me to make sure that I am HAPPY as the patient-no matter what the situation is. Please keep us posted and if you do find out the tech didnt do your ultrasound right, then make sure they credit your bill so you dont pay for something OR have to pay for it again should you have to repeat that test due to her incompetance! Good luck, Jo and thanks again and I WILL keep you in my prayers. Hubby too. Love, Janet

Thanks Janet for your prayers and concern. Before my husband has a procedure I give him Lovanox injections in the stomach. Didn't think I could do it but I do. He has had several surgeries while being on Coumadin. It does make him a little nervous to go off it because of the fear of blood clots.
I'm a little shy in asking for information from the doctor but I shouldn't be. I need to call and ask the doctor to call me. It's hard though to talk at my desk with people all around. The walls of a cubicle don't block out any conversation.

Janet,
I just want to know what your answer then was to Jon?????? LoL
On the serious side you will be in my prayers for surgery. Just want to say I had uterus removed when I was 34 and never had problems etc. But I am not you!!!! The fact they can removed ovaries vaginally now is not so hard as abdominal surgery. Also, my husband has been on big doses of comadin for 15 years (8mg) and has never had problems. I do watch the amts of greens I feed him etc, and if you ever have surgery one just holds the coumadin for so many days and they put you on heparin after surgery till they stabilize you. God will help you make the right choice for u. also I had a partial but no more periods either. (unless they did a different surgery on me.) LOL
God bless!!! Colette
I just want to know what your answer then was to Jon?????? LoL
On the serious side you will be in my prayers for surgery. Just want to say I had uterus removed when I was 34 and never had problems etc. But I am not you!!!!

Rainy, gloomy days here too. The rain and clouds can move on any time.
I finally talked to my doctor's nurse about the ultrasound and other tests done. I don't know why they didn't call me sooner. The ultrasound didn't show the ovaries at all so I don't know if that means the person doing it didn't do it correctly. I have to have that done again in a few weeks. I am going in the 26th for a biopsy of the uterus. That makes me a little nervous. I have absolutely no pain or symptoms of any kind. The nurse couldn't or wouldn't tell me why this is being done.
I'm trying to stay positive and "assume" it's nothing serious or she would have me in sooner.
