****40th Friday Roll Call****

According to FB, it's Maura's 40th birthday today.  Happy Birthday Maura!!!!

Working for the next hour and then home to bed.  I have a doctor's appointment in the morning at 8:30am.  Plastics consult.  Freaking out. 

After that, might check out some more bike stuff and then going to work at 2pm.  I work till midnight and then to the City for a 6 hour medic shift. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good Morning Eric and PA.

Happy Birthday Maura.  Hope you have an awesome birthday.

Friday sees me sleeping late, because I am up late waiting for my sheets to dry, because I forgot to put them in the dryer.  Then, to the gym.  I also have to finish the alphabet train I am making for my grandson's first birthday.  It is his name, and the letters connect by magnets.  They are wooden, and I am painting them alternating red and blue, to go with his nursery colors.  The wheels are white.  After that, I must finish the cookbook I am making for my daughter.  I collected recipes from magazines and packages of various foods for the past year.  I am putting them on printer paper, and into plastic sheet protectors, and then into a binder.  In the evening, I have my AA meeting.  I get my 6 month chip at this meeting.

Hugs,
Trish

I wish that I was that crafty!  Thank you for the birthday wishes!!

Good morning, PA!!

Eric---Plastics!!  Exciting!!!  

Maura---Happy birthday!!!  

Trish---Congrats on your 6 month chip!!!    

I'm still in the hospital and not sure what I'm doing awake at this hour.  I slept off and on all day after my surgery and turned in early.  I woke up when the alarm on my IV went off.  Thought it was around 6am, but noooooo----it was 1:15.  Oh joy.  Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good.  Some pain, but I just keep using my morphine pump.    The fibroids were apparently larger than they had thought.  I haven't talked to the doc yet, so I don't have any other info.  Paul has been wonderful during all this----very sweet and supportive.

Think I need to go back to sleep.....

Have a great day, OH!!!!


ETA: I've been feeling sooo much better since the morphine was stopped!  The doc was in early and was surprised at how good I looked.  If I can tolerate lunch, which I'm having now, I'll be going home this afternoon.  And I was really shocked at what I learned---thought I had 2 large fibroids, but there were actually 4 large ones, and I had endometriosis, which really shocked me!   I know I'll be feeling a whole lot better!!!  

Glad your surgery went so well!! Hope you're on the road to recovery soon...Kathy

Congrats on your surgery, Julia - hope you're feeling well and on the road to recovery!!

Thanks, Kathy!!!  The morning started out rough (nausea, headache, couldn't keep my eyes open), but it seems to be getting better.  I'm having my breakfast---rubbery scrambled eggs without salt or pepper, and some jello.  The nurse told me a little while ago that I may be going home today.  (Giving up on the eggs---they're not going down too well.)

Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead!!!  Enjoy!!!

Sorry you're not feeling well - could be the morphine if they still have you on it - morphine and I do NOT get along well at all - I get deathly sick from it. And I have a hard time with eggs now so stick to the jello - be kind to your tummy - LOL!! Here's hoping you get home today - you'll get much better rest there. Take care and keep us updated on how you're doing. Kathy

I'm with you---I think it was the morphine.  I've never had a problem with it before, but there's always a first time.  I think that's why I couldn't keep my eyes open since yesterday afternoon.  I've been able to eat eggs, but these were just nasty.   lol  Paul is bringing me some yogurt in a little while, and Mom is bringing me egg custards.  (Loved those since I was a kid, so I'm looking forward to the treat!!)  I'll keep you updated!   Thanks!!!

Thank you Julia!  I am so happy to see you posting already!  Am glad you are feeling ok and even happier that you are happy with your choice of just having Paul by your side - sounds like it is working out :)  I had an open procedure to for fibroid removal and a salpingectomy in 07 - I know all about faulty plumbing!  Be well, rest and looking forward to seeing you at the August cooking class?
