Good Morning to Wednesday!!!!!
The wind is a howling here in Colorado!!!!! and it isnt even Halloween yet go figure. I think a cold front is coming in!!!!!
My special friend died on Sunday if you didnt catch it on facebook. I was with her when she passed at 3pm. She is out of pain and not suffering anylonger. She died of breast cancer that had matasticised to the bone and liver and brain. She was a warrior. She wanted to live and had the will but the cancer took over. She will live in my heart.
Ill be in Denver till the 29th as I cant get a flight any sooner than that. Her funeral is Thursday.
I am a baking fool tomorrow or today that is. I already made 2 honey cakes. It is a jewish cake that we make.I already ordered the meat trays, and got bagels and the things that goe along with that.
The gal pals are making the brunch that goes after the funeral.
My stress level is off the wall and Im not quite not sure how to deal with it. Im not sure if I should up my prednisone or not. But Im handling the best I can.
My electronics dont live the high altitude here. The tablet wont let me post to oh, it wont let me comment to facebook and it hardly wont upload my books on my kindle!!!!! It is freezing up, My computer seems to have a mind of it own and wont work half of the time, go figure, and my phone well thatis a breed of a differnet nature. Got to love verizon and it only is in my girlfriends neighborhood, I go to Starbucks and wa la it is working!!!!! I dont get it!!!!!
I called Verizon and I was cussing them out it worked for a split second then boom again not working...... Now it is working on the puter not the tablet or phone.....
I guess I a dependent on technology??????
Well talk on ill check on between my cooking today.

Good morning Carla and everyone....
Carla....I am keeping you in my thoughts and close to my heart. I know this will be a hard time for you. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how special she was to you. Please take care of YOU. I am concerned about your health too. So glad you have family and friends with you. Don't push yourself too hard.
I had a day from HELL yesterday. I went in for my Colonoscopy at 1:00 as planned. They managed to get it done. Two polyps were removed. Now I am waiting to hear about the biopsy. Last time there was only one. I will leave it in GOD's hands.
The doctor no longer got the procedure completed and I had a major reaction to the Fentanyl they gave me. Never had a problem with it before. They ended up calling an ambulance and I was taken to the hospital. Needless to say it was a frightening situation. My tongue and throat were swollen and I itched so bad all over my whole body. They finally got me back in control and I went home about 6:00PM.
I had a horrible time sleeping again. Up most of the night. I had stomach pain and chest pain. I spoke to a doctor and he said if it got any worse or didn't go away in a short time I was to return to the ER. I did eat some crackers and that helped with the stomach pain. I just laid in bed and relaxed and the chest pain eased up. Today the headache I had for the last two days is back with a vengeance!! I am still itching. I took more Benedry. Hope that helps. Guess I will be resting again today! Gee I can't wait for the next time I need this procedure...Oh My Gosh!
I am so allergic to so many medications and other things. I have to keep a EpiPen with me at all times.
Enough of my whining. I am going to have a great day and I wish all of you a great day too!!!
I spoke with my daughter, Jamie yesterday. Nic has to go to St Jude's Hospital in Memphis for testing, bone marrow aspirate etc. in January. Nic called and asked me to go with him this time. He is 18 and can go to most appointments by himself but not this one. He sure does love his Nana!!! The trip will be paid for thank goodness!!
All my other grandchildren are doing great too. I speak with them or they text everyday. Kyleigh has a really super boyfriend. He treats her so well. It has boosted her confidence so much. She is eating healthy and walking everyday. They love to hike at parks and things. She is losing weight and is so happy. Amanda loves it in Oregon. Amanda and Tyler are doing so much together. This move was really good for her. She misses everyone she said especially me (Grandy) .....awwww so sweet!! Lucas is in high school this year and is having a blast!! He is really shy like me...LOL!! Lucas is in a haunted house again this year. They do it every year. He has so much fun!! My Gracie is loving Kindergarten. When she called last night she had so many things to tell me!! Of course, she wants Nana to come down SOON!!
Many prayers for so many of my friends here on OFF!!
Love and Hugs

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Carla, so sorry for your loss. Don't overstress yourself. I know it's a tough time for you.
Connie, you had a rough day, too. Next time you have a colonoscopy, make sure they know you had a bad reaction to fentyl. They will give you something else. Fortunately, I am allergic to almost no drugs, although I have had the runs from some antibiotics.
I had a busy day yesterday and today I plan to do not a whole lot, other than my PT exercises. I was up at 8:30 a.m. when the phone rang twice ... it was from the nurse wanting to come for a visit at 9:30. So I figured I should get up. I called her back and she said she wasn't coming ... they would call and discharge me tomorrow. Fine, because I am so tired. I have practiced with a cane a couple of times.
Judy, congrats on six years. You have been through a lot. I hope Rick enjoys his birthday present.
Well, I'm not really busy ... just vegging here. Have a good day.

Eileen....thanks for the good thoughts. I am doing better. It sure had me scared. I thought I would choke to death. I have had reactions before but this is the worst one by far.
Believe me I keep a complete list of all medications and what I am allergic to with me at all times. I just added this one to the list.
Sorry you had a rough day yesterday too. They are discharging you from PT tomorrow??? They didn't work much with you and that cane. Be careful so you don't fall!!! When do you return to work???
Hope all goes well for you!!
Love and lots of hugs....connie d

Connie, they are discharging me from home PT ... I start outpatient PT tomorrow. I am taking it very slowly with the cane, but it feels good walking with it instead of the walker. Easier to maneuver. They never tried working with me with the cane ... which is strange, because the other two knee surgeries, that was one of the things they had me do before I started outpatient PT.
My last day of short-term disability had me returning to work next Tuesday ... well, I didn't see that happening, so I told the doctor that. He said we'll just figure out another date. I emailed our HR person in charge of this and she said I get 60 percent pay after four weeks, so at least I have some money coming in. I figure I need another 2-3 weeks.

Good evening OFF family, read everyone's replies.
Carla...your friend is now your guardian angel. She will always look out for you. What a great friend you had in each other. I'm glad you were with her.
Connie, holy moley girlfriend, I'm keeping you and Nik in my prayers. And Gracie sounds all grown up. Kindergarten is so much fun. Making new friends and learning new skills.
Work has been busy so this is a quick note. Nothing new with me. Just loving life and keeping busy with the house, hubby, kids and grandkids. I'm hoping for Christmas that the girls save their money and not buy presents for the parents/step-parents and just worry about getting the kids presents. Or maybe a gift exchange. Money is so tight with everyone and I don't feel the need for presents. Just being together is fun and having a potluck. I think I'm going to put a little verbiage out there for the kids about the real meaning of Christmas and to me it's never been presents...at least not for the adults.
Hugs and prayers for all in need. Life just keep on turning and we keep on keeping on! Debbie
