TUESDAY WL EXPRESS !!!!

Good morning.  I have a lot of folders to process at work.  I made great progress yesterday.  It was quiet and peaceful in the office.  I hope to get several more turned in today.  At home after work I have to work on de-cluttering my extra bedroom. 

Viv...prayers for you and your family on your son and his gf's recovery.

Danni...prayers for you and your family as you prepare for Tim to leave.  I know that has to be so hard.  Yes, Ben comes home most weekends unless I'm elsewhere or over there in Aggieland for football games.  He stays Fri, Sat and Sun then goes back for the week.  He called last night and had gone to a math tutorial place and said it was only $10.50 for an hour and a half and it helped a lot.  He was going back today to finish up preparing for a math test on Thursday.  I told him $21 for each test prep was well worth it and I would be glad to pay for it!  He was also meeting a guy at the gym after that to help the other boy w/ his workouts so that was a good thing too...hopefully he'll make some friends he will go do things with.

Prayers for Steph and her banged up knee and Gaye recovering and all others who need our prayers.

Have a great Tuesday!

I'd pay $21 for math test help

Good morning train riders...news from the doc is that nothing is broken or torn but he was amazed at how swollen and bruised it is.  I now have bruising from 2 inches above the knee to 4 inches below it.  He said there is so much blood under the skin that a blood clot is a very real possibility.  He put me on aspirin and ibuprofen daily.  We discussed the "no NSAID/bypass rule" vs a blood clot and decided it was worth the risk to take it for a week or two.  He told me to expect bruising all the way down to my foot before it's over. He wants me on crutches as well.  I have a walking cane thing with the 4 feet on it and I'll use that instead.  I can't do crutches.  My plan is just to stay off it as much as possible.

To make matters worse, when we left the doctors we went to the store and did a huge grocery shopping trip.  We got home to find our fridge dead and everything melted and defrosted.  It must of been off all day.  Luckily, we have an extra fridge in the garage and a deep freezer.  So we were able to salvage a lot of it.  Biggest loss was my Blackberry Cobbler Ice Cream that I ration and savor.  It was completely warm soup!! We have a home warranty so it will only cost $60 to get it fixed.  Hopefully, I can get all the shelves cleaned today while it's empty if I can stand that long.

Hope everyone is having a better month than me.  I swear Lynnette sent her curse to my house.  Well it's time to send it on to someone else...next??

Steph be sure to take Prilosec or one of those other tummy beds with the aspirin/ibuprofen to coat your tummy.

I've been on Prilosec for 2.5 years, that's why doc figures I'll be OK.

Yesterday's doctor visit yielded a shot and a new topical for my foot which I thought might be arthritis, but looks like it may be some sort of nerve damage.  I see a podiatrist on Thursday for some tests.  Until then, at least it is less painful.

I also had a meeting with my acedemic advisor yesterday.  I've been approved for Dynamic classes, which are 5 week courses online instead of the traditional semesters.  This cuts at least 6 months off my total time in school so I'm very excited about that.  The only scary part is the first class starts Nov 11 at UTA and I don't finish my current 4 classes (traditional) at TC****il the week of Dec 10.  So for 5 weeks they will overlap.  After that, however, it'll be much easier because there won't be any overlap.

Today I plan to study for a government test till 10am, then I go get a filling, come back and study some more before working at the gym this evening.  I think I'm going to squeeze a nap in there after lunch, afterall that's what vacations are for!

Ok, I am on board for today but am moving to the infirmary car!! Woke up with stomach bug that is going around work! At least it isn't anything to do with adhesions!! May have to go out and get something for nausea, all I have in the house is left over phenergan and I now have an allergy to it!!Will be on line on and off all day!!

Love yall and make it a great day!!

Phenergan is my absolute favorite.  I use it when I can't sleep.  I'll gladly take it if you need a new home for it.
