Thursday WLS express

Good morning everyone,

Britt has her last band concert tonight.  All these lasts are hitting fast.  I took her last night to buy her graduation dress.  I also finally bought her the outfit I promised her for her birthday.  I found her a $4 pair of blue jean on clearance at Kohl's too.  Ended up buying her 2 outfits plus the grad outfit, the jeans, and a pair of sandals for right at $200.  Didn't think that was too bad.  Plus got to spend time with Britt, priceless.

Saying prayers for all of you.  Have a great day!!

Good morning Train Riders!!  I'm ready for another good day today.  Did some training yesterday, and I'm hoping that today I'll get to do some for my new job.  If not, I'll just take care of some of the lingering stuff from my old job and do some reading.  I'm reading a book called Taking Charge of your Fertility.  It's very interesting, and I think will be very useful for more than just our family planning.  I'm learning stuff I either never knew about the female cycle, or knew once and forgot. 

Next week I'm going in to see the OB to test my FSH levels.  Since I'm an "older" woman she wants to make sure those levels are where they need to be before we spend too much time trying on our own.  Then I get to see my PCP to follow up on my blood pressure.  I'm thrilled that it's been perfect since coming off the BP meds.  I've also got to talk to her about maybe starting a maintenance dose of Celebrex.  I was on it for 2 weeks for my knee and everything felt great, however the last 3 days since I stopped it all of my joints are starting to act up again.  It's annoying, but hopefully we can come up with a good long term plan to manage the arthritis.

I did manage to finally make it back to the gym yesterday.  I did 30 min on the treadmill interval training setting.  Felt great, and could probably have gone longer.  So, I'll either go again today (if I get home early enough), or go tomorrow after work and bump up my time 15 min or so.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Deb, Check with Dr. Welborne about the Celebrex. You may have to switch to something else that's ok for conception/pregnancy. (Can't remember if Celebrex is ok ATM!)

Crap, you're right!  I just did a search and it's a Catagory 3 drug, not recommended while trying, pregnant or nursing.  Blah.  Back to the drawing board.

hey lady, i read that book many moons ago. has some great info in it. Also, after you get done there, lol. I recommend looking at author dr. christine northup.  Her book women's bodies, women's wisdom has some great info in it. Can get at half.com or any of those type places. Almost  use as like a ready reference type thing. and before anyone jumps on this lol. I, like tawnya, suffer with endometrosis, ovarian cysts, etc etc etc and had 4 surgeries prior to WLS adn all kinda treatments and such. Also deal with PCOS like becky. Her books have a lot of good info on women's health in general and fertility
just an fyi

Good morning all!! Just wanted to check in, so no one will worry. I've been blessed-have worked 48 hours in the past 4 days, and my patient was STILL alive when I left him this morning. That's very unusual in my business. I'm one of those nurses that's greedy and gets attached and won't hand "my" pts off once I start a case (if I have a choice, of course)...so...if he chooses to stay this side of Glory, I'm going back tonight...About to head to the hot tub to try to turn my brain off, then hit the sheets for awhile. Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!

Gina AKA Nurse Diva

Glad to hear you are getting to work, sorry it at night.  Hey, I miss you lots - Talk to you soon. Gaye
