***Wild Wednesday Roll Call***
Tuesday was a down day for me...not emotionally, but physically. I just needed to rest. I did see family doc and learned what I thought was fungus on my thumbnail is a new nail growing in from hurting it, but I don't remember hurting it.
Wednesday will be slow, but steady. I packed most of my stuff for my trip on Saturday already, but still have some stuff to take care of. I plan to make another pair of overalls for Lincoln's birthday present. I already cut the fabric, so I just need to cut the interfacing and put it together. In the afternoon, I have an appointment with a psychiatrist who specializes in addictions. I went on Percoset for my pain, and want to go off it, and he is about the only doc in the area that prescribes Suboxone that is covered by my insurance. Suboxone is a med that is used to detox people off of opiates, and it also helps with pain. I was on it before, and it helped. I have not abused the Percoset, but I fear relapsing, so I want professional help making sure that I don't.
In the evening, I hope to see the Phillies win, because Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers was deplorable. To score 9 runs and still lose is just terrible. What makes it worse is the Braves won as well.
I hope everyone stays cool and drinks their water. Exercise indoors, like stair walking or On Demand exercise if you can't afford the gym.
Hugs,

Working 6-4 today and then going to Musikfest tonight. I was off yesterday and spent most of the late afternoon, doing some cooking for the upcoming week. Made some stuffed eggplant, granola bars and some quinoa salad with the leftover quinoa, the eggplant insides and whatever else i had laying around. Everything turned out great, not sure about the stuffed eggplant yet but I've made it before, so I'm sure they are good.
I talked to Swede via text last night for a little. He's feeling pretty good, there doesn't appear to be any new bleeding and his hemoglobin seems to be holding. All very good news. He was also very happy to report that he has lost something like 30lbs so far. Awesome stuff. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers and if I know more, I'll post it.
Not much else going on with me. Need to start packing and getting things ready for my work trip to Miami next week.
Sending good thoughts and prayers to anyone struggling, recovering, experiencing a loss or just plain having a ****ty week.
Trish, I really hope you find some peace BOTH mentally AND physically. I'm glad you are going to be going to see the munchkins. I'm sure that will help.
Today has me working until 3:30
First Strides is tonight
home
I know I know.. contain your excitement..
Siehara comes home Sunday!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! (remind me I said that in a couple of months when she is driving me nuts)
Thanks for the special thoughts. It is because I am going to see the Munchkins that I need to get this pain under control, so the one doc will give me the right med, and then tomorrow I see the pain specialist. I can't chase those two if I am limping...must be stronger....3 more days...

Morning all - Trish, hope the doctor helps you with the meds and the pain. Maybe he can prescribe something to help the Phillies beat the Dodgers tonight!
I'm at work - another day - woo-hoo. Yesterday was full of depressing phone calls from friends and family - seems everyone is going through something medical or financial right now and its frustrating because there's nothing I can do to help other than listen. On a bright note last night my daughter texted that she's being called in for an interview with a 911 call center that she applied to - so I"ll keep my fingers crossed that the job comes thru for her.
Have to call the imaging center today - called yesterday to schedule the thyroid biopsy and they can't get me in til Aug 27 - then called the endocronologist and they can't see me til Sept 20! But had a msg from the imaging center on my home phone last night to call them today so I'll call and see what's up with that. This all started back in May - seems like its just dragging on forever now.
Other than that nothing too exciting for my day - work, home, dinner, walk, exercise.

You are a good friend if you are willing to listen and offer encouragement, even if it just expressing that you care.
I empathize with the medical issues dragging on. I have been dealing with the herniated discs for 11 months, and did not get them diagnosed till Christmas...same with the fibromyalgia...that took me over a year to get diagnosed. Hang in there.

I am up and about to get ready to go to the surgeon to get all the steri-strips off. I am pretty sure that the drains will NOT come out today as I am still draining more than the recommended amount to get them out, but we shall see. I actually slept well last night. Still in the recliner, but good sleep for about 7 hours. I keep reminding myself that this is just a blip and is all worth it after all the work I have done.
After the surgeon's appointment, the girls are going to lunch and the movies with friends, (And by girls I mean Molly and Emily, NOT my breasts ) I am hoping to join them, but know that I might not be up for it. We shall see. Tonight is quiet as Larry is back to work for two nights, well, I don't know about quiet, I do have two of my children!)
I hope you all have a GREAT Wednesday! :)
Good luck at the surgeon. I hope you can get the drains out anyway. I had a drain when I had my hernia surgery, and I hated it. Have fun with the girls, daughters, if you do go to the movies.
Hugs,
Trish

Amelia slept from 9 - 4:30 I am so happy!!!
Ths morning has us headed off to my Dr appt to get my labs redone to check the anemia and B12 and to have them change my anxiety meds, wellbutrin isn't cutting it anymore. Then we're just coming home to relax. I need to sort through my clothes as I haven't worn "regular" (Non-maternity) clothes in almost a year
