Hi Gina and everyone,
Chilly and drizzling here, but supposed to be sunny and warm tomorrow. BTW, we're still having aftershocks every night.

Spent 2 hours in the PS office and got an estimate that I thought was quite reasonable, but DH does not. . Because of the is it then going backto a really busy clinic, my eating and fluids got way off. Tomorrow is the upper GI. I hate no fluid or food...Ie: protein shake, bacon and coffee.

Sorry. Just whining.

S: double protein shake
L: 1/4 c minestrone soup, cheese
S: Adkins coconut bar
D: bacon,double protein shake

Doesn't sound like a fun filled day, Gail :(

Drink up and be ready for tomorrow. Keep us posted.

Well, I have had such cramps today I've pretty much been sucking down Advil and coffee and sleeping a lot. Sat outside today in the warm weather for a while though.

BITES:
Coffee with half and half. Pretty much several times a day through out the day
Chicken salad with diced apples, celery, onion eaten with lettuce. WOW! So making this again.
Multi egg omlet with cheese, sausage and onions
4 crispy chicken skins (I roasted off chicken quarters and deboned the chicken for other things. )
1 chicken leg
Bowl of dark meat chicken with baschmel gravy
handful of walnuts and bittersweet choc chips

VITE:
Iron - Done
Morning batch - Done
Calcium, copper, magnesium, vit c:: Batches 1 and 2 done, batch 3 pending.

No exercise. I'm so lame. I did take a two hour nap though.

Ugh! I remember those days. I'm glad you got a nice nap.

After my surgery in Dec. last year I didn't get my period for 4 months. Then I had a period, but it was really light and then nothing for another 2 months. Truthfully at 51 I thought that I was beginning to go through menopause, but then I started getting my period more regularily again and it's been that way every month. The only problem is that when I ovulate (I know I do because my boobs get uber sore and when I don't my period just sneaks up on me) I go through weeks of super crankiness and when it gets to the days just before I'm eating everything in sight and husband better not so much as breath loud for I will simply jump down his and anything that moves, throat.

So now Aunt Flo is here and I'm still a crankiass and feeling nauseated from the cramps and I just am tired of it. I'm too old to have babies and hubby is fixed so if there are any babies to be had I best have a damned good explaination of how I managed to get that way. And as I recall using the "virgin birth" excuse barely worked once before so I imagine it isn't going to fly here either.

***grumble grumble grumble***

I feel for you, Maddie. I remember those days. I highly recommend hysterectomy. LOL

So sorry to hear about your mom, hopefully she'll be on the way to recovery soon, I know it's been a huge stress for you,

{{hugs}}

Thank you Gail! I hope so too. It is mentally exhausting for me mostly because being at hospitals remind me of end of life care I did with my sister 5 yrs ago.  I get flashbacks of my sisters pain and it breaks my heart..My mom isn't critical, but pain is uncontrolled and it is such a helpless feeling.
