Tuesday

Judy--I know that doctors have to be careful with scripts, but seems like he should give you a pass on this one mistake, at least one time.  If it were a case of you "losing" your script all the time, then yeah, I could understand if he refused to give you another one.  Hopefully he will be reasonable and understand that mistakes do happen!

One time I had an Rx sitting on the kitchen window sill and knocked the bottle off into a sink full of soapy water!  That was the end of those pills.  Not only did I have to call the doctor and get a new script, I had to pay for it all over again!

And just recently I threw away my husband's new Amex card!  He didn't tell me to expect it in the mail, and we get so much junk mail, I'm sure I just chunked it in the trash without realizing it was a new card.  He's not real happy with me about that one!  LOL!

And just one more story:  one time I turned a little cast iron skillet upside down in the trash can to drain the grease out of it (we're on septic tank and grease is a real no-no), and it got taken out with the trash!  A cast iron skillet is not light.  You would think someone would notice how heavy the trash bag was, but no--out it went.  Hubby says he didn't do it.  Ha! 

What fun would life be if we were all perfect all the time? 

Vickie this cymbalta is kicking my butt in forgetting what I am doing or have done I think!! I am not sure what to do yet...I posted about it a minute ago though. Going to see the dr after work tomorrow see what he says I should do.  I hope he will give me my Vicodin because I have a couple left and I need them soon....

Yeah I have done some dumb things like that before also...lol so you aren't alone...;-)

HUGS

Just a quick good morning. Having a cup of decaf and watching Today Show. Trying to figure out when Jackie Kennedy interview is airing. Anyone know? I really want to watch it. I'll probably tape it as I'm famous for falling asleep even during something I want to see.

About had a stroke from the $25,000.00 bill that I got last Friday from U of WAshington Medical Center. It WAS a mistake but I had to wait until Monday to find that out for sure. That is what my surgery WOULD HAVE cost were I not a self pay. Talk about a mark up! Anyway, that caused some very real physical pain let me tell you.

So, in comparison to that worry I feel so much relief that my physical pain of recovery is not so bad! Swelling is gradually going down. Still have about 5 lbs of fluid retention and it was 3 weeks ago today. I've never had the fluid stick around so long, but it is what it is right?

It's a bit cooler today so I'm going to get upstairs and finish "prettying up" some basic curtains for Baby Briley's room.

Sending you all positive thoughts and the hope that your day is a good one. Make it so even if it doesn't start out that way. I do believe that our attitude is 1/2 of the battle and we can change that. It's tough sometimes but we can!

Wow Karen, I think getting that bill would make me drop 5 #, I don't think it wouldbe water though!!!!!
Nan

Karen--I wonder if your doctor would let you take a mild diuretic?  Be worth a phone call to ask.

Karen the interview with Jackie Kennedy is 8 p.m. Central on ABC. Check your local listings, as they say.

Tonight?

Yes, I believe on ABC.

Hi Shirley and my OFF family:

Getting on her later than I wanted ... saw my brother on Skype and we had to chat. He worked a lot last week, so that was good; plus he was traveling a lot so he got gas money. He likes doing this; he meets interesting people and gets out of the house. He doesn't have as much work this week because last week was strange with the fair in the middle of the week.

I had a lot of pain last night and early this morning. Left work after deadline with a headache coming from my neck ... couldn't wait to get home, get my drugs in me and the ice packs on. Felt better quickly but then at about 5 this morning, woke up with pain going down my legs ...ugh! Took a muscle relaxer and read for awhile to get back to sleep. It's better but not great. Two more days of work before I get a day off. Hope I can hang in there.

Well, I need to get in the shower and get lunch. Have a good one. Trish, take it easy unpacking. I've been here a year and still haven't unpacked a couple of boxes ... I feel I might be moving again so why bother?

Prayers for you Shirley and your mom too.

Good evening OFF family...
Well today is a crazy day, on the way to work I had a flat tire then my cell phone went dead so I couldn't call anyone. I walked really fast to work about 3 miles and was only 5 minutes late. Not bad for a speedy walker like me. My face was all red and I was hot! Ugh!

Then my prince of a hubby came and got my keys, changed my tire, came back to work so I could take his truck and he was going to drive my car to get it fixed, bought me 2 front tires and he didn't want me driving on the little spare tire (donut type of a tire that they give you now) so I'm all good. He sure does take good care of me. I'm Blessed and love that man so much.

Still love my new job and it's so busy and time flies, I don't have time much to post anymore but I think of all of you often. We all struggle together don't we? Yep!

So I'm doing great on my mindful eating, walking everyday and pushing myself more. Most of the time when I get home late at night I'm pooped but need to settle down a little before going to bed. I try and stay out of fridge and you all know what I mean! LOL
I've been reaching for fresh fruits and veggies at night or a small glass of milk. Yesterday and today I didn't go down to dinner we were just too busy here at work and I just finished an orange at my desk. When I stay super busy I'm not hungry....which means I one of those gals that also eats when she is bored.

My dogs are slimming down b/c they are walking with me except for my Sophie she mostly rides in my jogging stroller I got for her. But Sophie even seems to be slimming down when she jumps out of the stroller and walks til she gets tired.

Hugs and prayers for all of us! Debbie
