Friday!!!
Hi Everyone. . .
Been up since 4:30 due to having to drink the 2nd bottle of stuff in prep of my most wonderful date with the gastro doctor. . . sheesh, whatever makes someone want to do that job. . . lol
I'm tired and for the moment, not hungry. . . I'm also 5 lbs. lighter (lol).
It will be a quiet day and a friend is picking me up to go to an AA meeting tonight, since I'm not supposed to drive before tomorrow. . .
Hoping you all have a wonderful day.

Good Morning Laureen,
Sorry I missed Roll Call yesterday on the PA Forum. I get too easily distracted by life and other things.
I know you'll be relieved when the test is all done, and you can go home and eat real food, and get back to normal.
I've still got the earache, but the doctor did order something to get the ear to drain.
Today, I am heading to my AA meeting, and then to run some errands. In the afternoon, I head to the agency. I called out sick on Wednesday and Thursday because of the earache.
I have a ton of stuff to do to get ready for my trip on Monday.
Have a blessed day.
Hugs,
Trish

Good morning Laureen and Trish! And all my OFF sistas!
Laureen, best of luck to you today with your procedure. Just think, by the time you read this, it will already be a done deal.
Trish, I sure hope you start to feel better soon.
I never did have a chance to post yesterday. Benny sure does keep me hopping! He's sleeping late this morning and I, for one, am THANKFUL! Whew! Today will be a long day, since Chris went in early and will stay late. I was in bed at 8 p.m. last night, just thinking about how long today will be. LOL!
Nothing much new to report from the Hill Country. Just wanted to say "hi" before my day gets crazy.
Love you all!

I'll gladly trade you for your weather. I want your weather.

Good morning Laureen and everyone....
Laureen...hope all went well with your test today.
I am going to try to get out of the house today. I have pretty much been in bed this whole week. My cold is better. I just feel very run down now. Think I will just run to the store and get the other items I need to make chili.
Wishing everyone a beautiful day. Prayers for so many in need.
Love
and Hugs

All's well, nothing I did not know already. . . back in 5 years, Dunkin Donuts coffee and 6 ounces of porterhouse with green beans. . . the 5 lbs. will not be gone for long (lol).
Thanks everyone. . . think I'm going to take a nap. . .

Hi Laureen and my OFF family:
Didn't sleep well last night ... got up at 3 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep, I was in so much pain. The pain cycle doesn't seem to end since I was (I believe) overstretched on Monday by the PT woman. Now, I can barely bend the knee without screaming in pain. I know as a fibromyalic I feel pain very intensely, but this is way more than I had with my right knee.
Laureen, I understand about the colonoscopy prep ... yuck. I had to do it for two days because the first day didn't work. My mom kept asking how I managed to go two days without eating solid food. I said I did it for two weeks post-op WLS, I think I can do it two days.
I wasn't planning to get out of my jammies today, but then the occupational therapist called and said she was coming over, so I got dressed. Fortunately, she didn't come in the middle of lunch (leftover turkey meatballs, pasta sauce and whole wheat pasta ... yummy!). So here I sit waiting for her.
Nothing much happening today ... a couple of ballgames, another session (I did one already) of PT exercises and hopefully less pain. Maybe a nap in between. Have a good day.
