The NIGH****CHMAN - Wednesday 1/6
Not much going on in my world. Working with newbies at my full time job makes the shift interesting.
Anxiously awaiting the weekend. Stars game on Friday night and then on Saturday I will watch the football games with Brad at his house.
If you have any prayer requests, please PM me with the info, or post it on the NW thread. I only ask that you keep me updated so I can keep the list current. I don't think that is asking too much.
Just so you know, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Below is one of God's children that definitely need our prayers. This is one specific cases, we know there are others out there. Remember them too.
Gina J. - Pray for her 6 year old Marina, diagnosed with a terminal illness at age 2.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
I had my endoscopy on Monday and the dr found everything to be normal. When I originally was having the pain in my pouch was mid November, and he said I probably did have an ulcer then, it just cleared up.
I had my tonsils removed this morning, and after and afternoon of puking my guts out, I'm able to hold food and liquid down. I'm hurting some but hoping the pain meds I took will knock the pain out soon.
I'm exhausted. I had a very mentally exhausting day at the office. The best news of my day was my boss telling me to plan a trip to NYC in a few weeks. So, Michael and I are trying to coordinate our travel schedules as to not have to kennel the dogs or have someone come stay with them. It looks like he'll be in Atlanta 1/25-29 and I'll be in NYC 2/1-4. I'm looking forward to it because I haven't been in nearly a year, but I'm nervous about setting expectations and being very conscientious about making it as successful of a trip as I can.
I strained my right pectoral muscle hoisting the Christmas tree into the attic over the weekend. The little bit of coughing I'm still doing compounded with yesterday's work out has made it extremely painful every time I cough or laugh. I'm thinking about going to bed early so I'm not thinking about it.
Prayers for all who need them.

If I were lying, wouldn't my pants be on fire?!?
YIKES....less than 10 hours to go! Getting VERY nervous. Dr. L.'s office called me this afternoon to let me know there was a delay so instead of having to be at the hospital by 6:00 am, they told me I now don't have to be there until 10:00 with surgery no sooner than noon. Great. I had geared myself up for that, but I just got off the phone with the hospital and they have moved my surgery back up so now I have to be there at 6:30. Man oh man, I'm so confused!!! Wish they would get things ironed out. I hate this back and forth crap!!! Keep the good vibes going for everything to go smooth tomorrow. Will try to see if Lynne or Miranda can jump on and update you if they can.
Will try to log back on in a bit...
Paul said this is IT so hopefully Dr. L. will whittle away everything he needs to this time because there won't be any more!
