***Tuesday Roll Call***

Good Morning Everyone,
Fell asleep on the couch after my guests went home.  Mom loved her dinner, and the presents I got her.  I gave her a mug with Isabel's portrait on it, and a huge canister of coffee. 

Tuesday has me heading back to school for the teacher's first day.  We have two days of professional development to do, mostly getting our classrooms ready.  I hope to get up before school to make my AA meeting.  I also need to get some exercise in.  I did get to swim on Monday, the last swim of the season.

Have a terrific day.

Hugs,
Trish

Morning Trish & those still sleeping.

This is my 4:30AM-1PM shift so I've been up since 3AM.  Is it bed time yet?  I'm going to go in and work on my backstock today.  Trying to get rid of as much of it as possible before inventory in a few weeks.  I worked my butt off at work yesterday and hoping today is a little slower.  We got a 2 day order put out in one day.  I havent walked the past two days and I'm feeling guilty.  I know the activity level at work is alot but I still need to get out and do the daily 2mile walk.  I'm sure I'm down about my hubby's current lack of work situation and that's made it easier to blow off the walk.  Gonna force myself to get back into the habit.  Maybe I can start one of my exercise tapes on the days I dont walk.  Either way I need to force myself into doing something.  The dogs weren't happy either! 

Ok its time for me to put a face on and head to work.  I'll see you all later!

Good Morning everyone!

I am here at work 6-4. Then I have to find out if Mom needs me to grocery shop for her or come over and do anything for her. If not I am going to go home and try and find my exercise DVD and do that. I also have some laundry to finish up and I want to clean out my fridge. I think that I might want to do another back to basics week, I have to wait and hear from Dr Brader about my hida scan results first. Had a rough weekend with how I felt. Had to stay close to a bathroom and was having quite a few of those upper abdomen pains. Not to mention PMS - when it rains it pours! Had a good weekend overall though. Hope you all did too!

Make it a great tuesday!

First I'm gonna whine....cause it should absolutely postively ILLEGAL for a woman to wake up with her monthly friend/horrendous cramps/AND a raging UTI all within two hours.  That's how my night started.  Got the friend earlier - the cramps set in about 4 hours after that (which is normal for me) and then I woke up and had burning from hell and was peeing a teaspoon every 3 minutes. 

Had to go in to work - which was a good thing cause I have access to meds there.  Luckily the pyridium I took started working for the urinary symptoms and I downed literally 4 liters of fluid (mostly water) since 9pm last night so at least when I peed, it was more than a teaspoon and I felt productive. 

Oh - and then when I was at work I found out that disciplinary actions (a "verbal" warning which is on a written document, so go figure) about absenteeism.  Apparantly - because I was out for more than 3 days with the bowel obstruction plus a few other call outs (one for an accident my FIL had and went to a trauma center for a few months back, and the other 2 for that bad upper respiratory thing I had in June) I got written up for "excessive absenteeism" 

I find it ironic, however, that my manager is just getting to writing me up now - now that they know I have an interview at LVH on Friday (I told them out of professional courtesy so if LVH calls for references they aren't shocked.  Which, by the way, before my interview, they already have called them for references.....)  So I can't help but wonder....are they making this a part of perm. record now to send to LVH?  Hmmmm

My first TWO patients of the nights were females...with their monthly friend...with uti symptoms.  Now, I know this rude...and I know I got medications while at work...but part of me really really really wanted to say "yea, try working like that" but of course I couldn't and just told them I could really understand their feelings and I would do my best to make them feel a little better.

OK....sorry for the 1/2 page rant.  Today I am waiting for the pharmacy to open to get my pyridium and antibiotic filled.  The pyridium I took last night is starting to wear off....but nothing to intolerable.

After that, I have to return a few things to the store.

Then it will be home to go to bed, which is the part of the day that I am most excited about at this point in time.

Good Morning PAers,
Everyone is off to school and work.  Actually they were all gone by 7:15am.  Now I'm lonely!! 
Today I plan to work on Girl Scout stuff.  I need to take a oouple small walks, a shower and I may visit a friend (if I can find one who is home!) 
I got my first protein latte in and I am working on my H2O. 
I guess I should let the chickens out and get them all fed. 
Anyone in my area who would like to visit???!!! 
Have a great day, Jackie in Coatesville

Hi everyone!

I came back last night from 10 days up at our house in the Pocono's.  Did lots of shopping, laying around, sitting on the beach, dining out with friends and even hit the new Mt. Airy Casino.  Had lot's of fun and hated coming home.  This is the first time I wasn't ready to get back to normal and get back to work.  I really dreaded coming into work today.  Such is life.  I will be fine once I get back into the swing of things.

Tonight I have to go pick up the dog's collar at the kennel...they forgot to put it on him when I picked him up.  My other dog, who I took with me on vacation, wasn't that thrilled to see him when we picked him up, but he sure was excited to see her LOL.  After getting the collar, I am going to go to my new gym for the first time.  Time to kick up the exercise a notch or two if I want to knock off these last 40 pounds.  Good news is I didn't gain weight whille I was away....didn't lose either (although this is PMS week so who knows). 

I will try catching up with the boards at some point to see how everyone is.

Have a good day.

Hey Trish....I missed your two year surgiversary while I was away on vacation.  Congratulations and here's to another great 2  years coming.

HG

Thanks Heather.  I saw Dr. Marymor on the surgiversary and he was very supportive of me in spite of my bumps in the road, and stalls. 

Your 2 years is coming up fast.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi all. we got in last night from NC we had a nice time.

Today I am gonna do some chores get food for the week and then see clients tonight.
I am afraid to get on the scale because I have my monthly enemy and I know I am retaining water from traveling and eating out while on our trip.

Good luck to those of you returning to the class room.

Liz I hope you get some answers soon
