Early Thursday greetings from Owosso
Good morning Jo and everyone.......
Jo....the race game huh....that would be an experience to hear!! You are an angel. You do such an amazing job with those boys. I am glad you are getting help now. You can finally have some time for yourself!! I too worry about that family coming after you and the boys. I continue to pray for all of you!
Debbie.....I am sure the weather and scenery are lovely there in Carmel. I am happy to hear your friend started moving her foot....even if just a little bit!! I am sure she is overjoyed to have you there!
Eileen....hope you are feeling much better today. Glad the procedure went well.
Cindi....sounds like you had a wild day with your group!
Judy and Vickie....I hope both of you are doing better with your shoulder pain!!
Trish .....I know you were ordering that computer yesterday. I hope it is there soon and up and running. WE miss you!!!
I finally got some boxes yesterday. Now I can pack up the things for the kids and get that sent off...YAY!! There is enough stuff sitting around....I need this gone!! I went out to storage yesterday. Got things put away and grabbed a few things I needed. Still need to do the clothes swap thing. I had to go buy totes to keep things in.
Wishing you all an awesome day!! Prayers for those in need.....still many special prayers going up as well. I am still very concerned about our dear sweet Nan....God Bless her.
Lots of love and many hugs to all.....connie d
Morning Jo and sistas!
I've been reading posts on my phone this morning and I kept thinking, "But it's Wednesday, isn't it?" LOL! Glad Eileen cleared that up for us!
Managed to get my butt up to the Y this morning after dropping Benny off at school. Did an hour on the elliptical, or 10 miles. Have no idea if this is a good amount or not, but it's what I managed. Better than doing nothing, right?
Well, let me tell y'all what my doctor told me yesterday. First of all the test for ovarian cancer came back normal. Thank goodness. I wasn’t really worried about it, but it’s good to know. So she sent me for more bloodwork yesterday. She wants to determine if I am menopausal yet or not. My old GYN tested me for that last year before I had the D&C and I was not menopausal yet. Dr. Reddy doesn’t think I am either just yet. Anyway, the test will determine what we do. If I am not menopausal, she recommends doing an ablation. If I am menopausal, she recommends doing a hysterectomy. Although she told me if I want the hysterectomy, she can easily justify it for insurance and she’s willing to do it. So I go back next week for another ultrasound (to check on the ovarian cyst) and then she’s going to get a tissue sample from the lining of my uterus and have it checked, just to make sure there are no cancer (or pre-cancer) cells there. If there are, she will do the hysterectomy without question. If not, I have to choose which procedure I want. Well, frankly, I would rather have the hysterectomy and be done with it, but it IS rather problematic to schedule it this fall. I will be out of baby sitting commission for 4-6 weeks because I won’t be allowed to pick anything up during that time. Between Butch’s work schedule and HIS next surgery (his bunionectomy scheduled for Dec 17th), I just don’t see how we can work it in unless Chris puts the baby in day care. And even then, I would have to keep both boys some nights. It would be a tough thing to work around. On the other hand, she can do the ablation in office on Oct 17th and that has a 2-4 day recovery period. Butch will be home and that will be easy to work around. It’s complicated. I’m postponing thinking about it until the results of the bloodwork next Tuesday. I'll be going to Waco on Friday afternoon. I'm looking forward to it. I'll stay 2 nights, possibly 3. I have to be back by 2 p.m. on Monday for a dentist appointment. Carrie already has plans for Saturday afternoon and evening, but that's okay by me. I don't need to be entertained. I just need to be AWAY! Actually a free afternoon with nothing to do and nobody to chase after sounds like pure heaven to me right now. (I'll bet Jo would agree with me, right Jo?) Chris and I are going to drive around NB a bit this afternoon looking at more potential rent houses. I pulled up a couple of repos. I don't know much about buying a repo house. I know it can be complicated. I read that even if a house has been repossessed by the bank, it doesn't necessarily mean that the people have moved out! If we buy a repo house and it's occupied, it would be OUR responsibility to make the current inhabitants vacate the premises. REALLY? That sounds like a HUGE mess. Wouldn't want to get involved in anything like that! Well, need to get a little bookkeeping done before we leave. Lovely first of the month and bill paying time. My fave! NOT! Love you all!
Vickie
Hello Vickie.....it sounds like you have a great doctor. I am still keeping you in my prayers. I know you will make the right decision. Your health has to come first!!! Chris and Mike need to find friends that can help with the boys. I am sure they can find someone from work or something. Please don't stress about it...even if it is hard not too.
I am glad you got to the Y....that always makes you feel better. Soon Butch will be home and you will have a bit of a time off. I am so excited that you are still going to Carrie's for the weekend. I understand about the being alone. I feel the same way when I go to my daughter's. I don't care if they are there or not! I love all the openness and plenty of room to roam!! I am alone here most of the time but it is different.
Hope you can find a property for Chris, Benny, and Reese soon....guess Mike will be renting too. Hope it all goes well!!!
Love you....HUGS....connie d
