woo hoo wednesday express

Good Morning Danni!  You are right we do need to count our blessing.  Even with everything going on I'm blessed for fantastic friends, a wonderful family, a house to live in and a vehicle to get me back and forth to where I need to be.  I'm even thankful for the stressful job I have, it provides for me and my family.

Good Morning Danni and my OH Family,

Today is going to be a better day.  I just know it has to be.  Not as grumpy this morning as I was yesterday.  I know a lot of it is seperation anxiety.  Getting ready to move, and saying to goodby to friends one by one it is hard.  Had a pretty good day yesterday even though I was grumpy.  Mark and I had lunch at this little deli place right outside base and I thought I would try a little something new seeings we were so close to the base and if I needed to get back in a hurry I could.  I ordered a cup of cheese and broccoli soup witch was wonderful and then a Ruben sandwich.  Well two bites into the Ruben (and I did not touch the bread or the sourkrout) I knew it was not something my tummy was going to like very much.  I guess that is why I had this surgery.  At least thats what my husband tells me.  Not sure why I continue to try new things.  I know what works.  Anyway I left to get Eric a little early so I could go and have a well needed walk.  It was wonderful.  Did not go very far but I did manage to walk off some stress.  Ok today is a walk, lunch with three of my very favorite women from Church and to clean up this tiny little room.  My thought and prayers are going out this morning to Danni and Family.  I know this will be a hard day for you all with Tim leaving.  Please give him an extra hug and say thank you for me!  I am always only a phone or text away if you want to chat.  Prayers also for Viv and her family.  Have not heard anything so I am guessing things are getting a little better for them.  Also prayers for Gaye, Rebecca, and all the unspoken.  Have a blessed day you guys.  Love you all.  Michelle

Good morning!!!  My woo hoo today is that my 2nd round of PS has been scheduled for Dec. 7th!!!  I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!   But scared to death as well!  I just can't imagine not having this tummy anymore!!!!  It's been with me for along time!

Today is going to be along day as we have a family event at work this evening... hoping I can say no to the pizza and yes to my protein bar!!!!!! 

Prayers and hugs to all who need them today!!!!!

Good Morning,

Today is a good day because I am praying hard for it.  Dani, my thoughts and prayers are with you today. 

It is going to be another long day at work.  There is never enough time in the day to get done what needs to be done.  I am grateful that I have a job.  I set back and reflect that I have so much going in my life and that I am very blessed. 

Lynnette, hope you get to feeling better soon.  All my prayers for all that need them.  Jenny hang in there we are all praying for you.  May you have peace in your heart as you deal with taking care of Eric at home.

Hope all have a good day.

Morning,

Great idea to count my blessings because I'm not seeing it unless I make myself see it.

 I have a job - not thrilled with the way i'm treated but it's a job

 My child is healthy and every bit a teen.. I have her 4 more years and that's a good thing

 My parents are alive and as healthy as they can be at their age

I have wonderful chosen family that is always here to listen to me vent and cry and scream and I am forever grateful for that.

I am much healthier than 3 years ago and especially 14 years ago at 340 pounds.

I have the Holy Spirit with me all the time to help me get thru days and weeks like it seems we all are having..

Okay, I see my blessings in red, time to appreciate them and make the best of this day.

My blessing WooHoos include

a job (i'm tired, over worked and under paid, but at least its mine)

a supportive, loving husband who also has a job

3 pretty terrific kiddos (well 1 teen and 2 young adults, but they'll always be kids to me)

2 dogs that provide tail-wagging unconditional love

a mother, brother and other extended family

and the opportunity for education

Not too bad.  I don't know that I get a clear view of my blessings like this on a day to day basis.  It's nice to sit back and take an objective look. 

Welcome to WooHoo Blessed Wednesday...let's start by saying I made it thru a grueling 12 hour shift on this stupid knee of mine.  I am blessed to have a job that I love, am good at and get paid well to do.

  I am blessed that my Mom's house "closed" yesterday and she is on her way to Texas as we speak.  Clay and I are headed to Conroe to help her unpack on Friday.

  I am blessed to have my family.  Clay is truly one of the nicest guys I've ever met and spoils me rotten.  Hailey has turned into a wonderful young lady who works hard and studies hard and still finds time to call her Momma nearly every day.

  I have the best group of friends anyone could ask for.  Just wish we all lived closer.  But maybe this way we appreciate each other more.

  I am blessed to have my health and truly appreciate how much this surgery has done for me. 

My WHOO HOO is my baby is home. It's always better to be in your own bed, right? I had to run out to fill 6 prescriptions last night and it cost me $27.20. That's it. WHOO HOO. Soooooooo grateful for health insurance!!! I'll be putting out a little more when the presciptions are filled completely (have several that are 90 day supplies that they couldn't fill all the way) so I have enough for end of the week except one nausea pill that I need for dinner time on Fri have but should have it by the time we get back on Fri after chemo.

We're trying to get an oncologist closer to home now. Does anyone have any idea of what questions I should ask when finding a specialist? Long term we're looking at a possible RPLND (very complicated removal of the lymph nodes) so I'll have to find a specialist for that but I don't just want to pick the first name of an oncologist on my insurances in-network list, ya know? Any feedback from someone in the medical field that knows more than I do in this regard, it would be so helpful. Thank you in advance!!!

Danni girl I'm thinking about ya. THANK YOU for the commitment you've made to the army as well. I am and will forever be grateful to everything you sacrifice for my freedom, along with Tim. 
 
Much, much love my friend,

Jenny

Jenny my MIL used Dr Kahn in Mckinney, he is an anwsome onogologist!!!

Danni

My friends son used Dr Gumpta with Texas Oncology.  I used Texas Oncology in Plano for my cervical cancer but it was a Dr for just GYN problems.  Texas Oncology has several offices and they do the kemo and all right there.
