***Tuesday Roll Call***

Good Morning Everyone,
I can't sleep, so I thought I would start Roll Call.  I am less than two days away from sinus surgery, and between the headache, the puss, and the odor, I just can't sleep.  Sorry to be so gross, but it's really funky stuff I am dealing with.  It has been going on now since October, with only brief periods of relief during antibiotics.  Within 5 days of going off the antibiotics, I get another killer infection. 

Anywho, Tuesday has me heading to work to set things up for the substitute teacher, or Guest Teacher, as we now call them in Philly.  I have to run off about two reams of handouts, and collate everything before I leave in the afternoon.  Then, I must run to Rite-Aid to pick up my arthritis meds, as I forgot to do that on Monday.  Then, I must run home and vaccuum my bedroom, because I don't want the dust aggravating my sinuses post-op.  If I have any time, or energy, I will go to my support group I am now part of that I joined last week.  Oh, yeah, I also have to run to TD Bank and get a certified check to put in the mail.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Hugs,
Trish

Good morning!  Are they going to clean out your sinuses?  You don't have to tell me if it is gross.  Anyway, today is a video conference support group at noon.  I received my checks so I have some banking to do today.  Yesterday the handle on my toilet broke so I have to replace that.  So much excitement lol.  I was going to plan a trip to Las Vegas next month to visit my nephew but I don't know if it is all that cost effextive in our present state.  Sooooo, I prolly won't go.  Our surgeon gives an annual picnic and banquet every year and I was thinking of going to the picnic while out there, but I guess not.  Anyway, that's it except maybe some grocery shopping.

Good Morning Trish!  I know you are not all super excited about your post op state as having gone through that before already....but I also know you want it taken care of and not dealing with these infections any more - so I here's to countdown of the surgery so you can finally get yourself better!  I'll be thinking of you!

Today I am stopping at the store like I was supposed to yesterday.  However yesterday I needed gas in my car and then my bladder was not gonna let me make another stop and I didn't want to use the one in the store....sooooo....I went home instead.

After the store I'll come home and pack up some food and what not - perhaps throw an apple crisp together...pack an overnight bag and then try to be in bed absolutely no later than 11am - preferably earlier than that.

I have to be up by 6:30 tonight and on the road by 7:45 the latest to get to jersey work at 9pm.  It was supposed to be 11pm but then ended up they called me yesterday begging me to come in at 7p.  I told them absolutely not 7p...but compromised for 9pm.  Plus they are giving me extra money per hour to come in the two hours earlier...so I couldn't beat that with a stick.

That's it from this neck of the woods.  I doubt I will be online a whole lot Tuesday and Wednesday so I will catch up with all of you on Thursday when I get home.

Hugs to all!

Good Morning all!

Trish I sure hope that this surgery brings an end to your suffering! You have been through too much lately!

Today has me at wor****il 4. I am so sleepy today I just wanted to stay home but drug my butt outta bed. I can't seem to fall asleep at night until after midnight and it is taking it's toll on me. Tonight I might have to take tylenol PM early and try and catch up!

After work I don't really have any plans, today is pay day so I'll stop at the bank and deposit my check, then it's home to make dinner and pick up my Uncle's dog, he has to go into the hospital for a few days to get some injections to regulate his heartbeat so we are dog sitting. Then it's home to hang out.

Make it a great day!

Hope you get some Z's soon Liz!

Just as an FYI the tylenol PM is nothing more than plain tylenol and the equivelant of one benadryl per tylenol tablet.  If you don't want to take the actual tylenol you can take two benadryl.

Also at Wegmans I found something called "calms forte" (haven't seen it at Giant)  It is in the section with all the other sleep meds including the tylenol PM  It's all natural.  And it works well - although to be honest - I have used it in conjunction with one or two benadryl, never by itself.

6 days to go!!

Today has me trying to work, though it's getting more and more difficult as I get closer to the big day.
After work I am going to make the turkey tenderloins that I didn't make yesterday.  Tonight, my surgeon has his monthly support group so Siehara and  I are heading there. DH is going to his service, so he can't come.  

That's about  it.

Have a great day!

Good morning all. I am hoping to catch decent weather so I can go riding. If not I guess I am going to catch up on my ironing. (yep! you read this right ironing) and Heather has a school project to do so I am dropping her off at a friend's house. I had my protein shake and I also have to tie up loose ends as I am going in thursday morning for my left shoulder surgery. Ugh! Not looking forward to it. But it needs to be done. I fall asleep after taking my Lunesta 3 mg and I am awake about 4 hours later in pain with my shoulder so its time to fix it. Glas to see everyone is doing ok.

good morning. Thanks for all the BD wishes.
Today I am meeting Kara for some tea and then I am off to teach my class.
We talk about racism today. Oh the joy of that. Then it is to the gro store
leave the ingredients and instructions for jason then off to work.
we take turns cooking we cant eat together but at least we can eat the same thing.

Trish good luck with the surgery i will be thinking of you

Good Morning Trish,

Nice to see you posting the Roll Call. . .  hope your surgery fixes what ails you!

Well I had a very busy weekend with my sister from another mother and it continues for one more day, as I decided to take today off and we are going to finish painting the trim for the crown molding, so that the contractor can get done with the interior work and I can get the inspector in to give me the COO and move onto phase 2, which will be the bathroom project ;) 

We did get a lot accomplished, part of which was to buy the furniture for the new sunroom, after going to 8 furniture stores, I settled on a nice recliner sofa in a rich brown microfiber which will look really nice in that room, also bought an electric fireplace which I have had my heart set on forever, it was on sale, got both pieces, with tax and delivery for under 1500.  2nd coat of paint in my new bedroom and some of trim pieces done. 

A funny story to share, my DIL calls me on Sunday to tell me she has a story she is sure I will love. . .  seems the kids were missing daddy, so she put on their wedding video for them (and her) and she says that there I was and Vaughn said, Mommie, who is that dancing with Daddy, she says, it's Grandma Burr, he said to her, no, that's not Grandma Burr, she said, yes Vaughn it is and he said, Mommie, that IS NOT MY GRANDMA BURR, that lady does not look like her. . .that is one of the stories that will forever bring a smile to my face.

Well I'd better get off of this here computer and get busy with why I stayed home for in the first place. . .

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Prayers, positive thoughts and hugs, Laureen

That is a great story, Laureen!
