Tuesday WLS Express

GOOD MORNING! Its Tuesday. What will you do to make it TERRIFIC???

Today is going to be a busy one. I'm running a meeting this morning. Then, in the afternoon I'll be heading over to TCC downtown FW campus to check out the room we're using tomorrow and Thursday for a training. I have to meet with media to make sure I know how to use their computer and screen projector, get set up on their system, etc. Its a beautiful campus and we were lucky to be able to get a room there for free for this training. Our office isn't big enough for our whole voc rehab staff to meet yet we don't have a budget for rental spaces. It makes finding rooms very difficult.

I made my day terrific today by taking time yesterday after work to get a massage. I have 3 pre-paids which means I haven't been to Massage Envy in 3 months. I keep meaning to go and then I don't. So when I woke up with a sore neck and back and it didn't go away right away, I decided to call and go in. Today I feel much better. ANd, I've got a nutritious salad for lunch as well.

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Today is a good day.  Only working 3 hours this morning, as I am taking this afternoon off...my weekly 5 hours leave without pay.  Yes, we work like c-r-a-z-y during tax season, but after tax season, it can be very slow.  Plans for today are to get monthly age defying hair ritual aka color.  Have decided to clean out a few closets here...maybe get some things ready for a yard sale.

Good morning. My Tuesday will be terrific because I have lots of work too keep me busy from 7-5 working our long summer hours. It's worth it because we get Friday- Sunday off working the 4 long days. We have our annual early hi dhole screening this morning and I have 14 more folders to get ready for ARD meetings tomorrow at our jr. High. This week will fly by because of all the work to do.

Don't know how "terrific" it will be but another day of fighting crime by fighting the grime on tap.  Working on a case that hopefully I can get it done today, get the warrant  and get her in the hoosegow.

morning, not good. back has been giving me fits for over a week and nothing has helped. now starting a course of prednisone (last ditch effort,taken w/maalox and food) will stop after first sign of trouble. to combat the abdominal charley horse like pain they have started me on robaxin which has given me diarrhea for 4 days. today I am working 9:30-7pm by myself! On the brightside my charley horse have stopped in my legs since I have discontinued my anti migraine meds.

Fortunately I leave for Cleveland bright and early inthe morning. I am going for a complete bariatric check up with theier specialists to see what my future holds. Scary in that I am afraid they will not be able to tell me anything or they thik I should have a reversal(not likely and not going to happen!!!)

I want to reinforce Gina's invitation to the support group at Central Market 9am-11am on Saturday June 18th!! It is at the Chapel Hill Shopping center at the corner of I30 and Hulen Street and VERY easy to find. If you need directions just ask!! Many have fallen through the cracks or disappeared. We want to see you whether or not you have gained, lost, fallen off the wagon, been too busy, no matter what surgery you have had or even surgery at all! Everyone needs support and that is what this is all about!!! We would like to see ALL ou veterans and any newbies who would like to join us. For fun, please bring copies of your favorite WLS friendly recipe to hand out (I am bringing several!!)

MEGGIE-hope you get some positive ANSWERS, and that out Ken can keep us updated, when you can't. How long will you be gone? You have probably said, but you know howmy memory is!!!

Good morning all! And a TERRIFIC Tuesday we ARE going to make it be-RIGHT????? Make it/Fake it..something..lol

I'm helping my "terrific" along by wearing clothes/jewelry that are on my "color wheel" and make me feel good..no purple scrubs today..I keep some on hand, in case I need to go make a patient visit, but today I'm wearing brown slacks (sz 12, tyvm), orange tank (sz 10-must have mismarked, so I GRABBED it cuz it FIT) and a brown shrug, to suckto batwings in. I'm even wearing brown, patent, Mary Jane shoes..no New Balance today..and have on "bling" my youngest spawn got for Mom's Day last year. Sometimes when you feel "crappy" it helps to at least LOOK like you DON'T feel crappy..oh..and I have enough make up on to pass for a Harry Hines hooker!!

She'll probably beat my azz for saying this, but pls say an extra prayer for our QUE today. It would have been her wedding anniversary, and the divorce should be final next month. There's nothing easy about divorce, no matter what the cir****tances.I bet TOMcould use some prayers too.

Busy work day..in the office today..auditing discharge charts..not "exciting",but necessary, and I'm very anal about paperwork and know the Medicare Regs, so I'm a good person to do the job...besides, I'm looking cute and it's HOT outside..lol

Hope everyone is feeling as good as I am today-look in the mirror and give yourself a big ole (((HUG))) from me, please!!!

Gina AKA Nurse Diva

Meggie- I'm sorry you're not well. I hope when you get to the clinic tomorrow that they check you out and find some REAL solutions to your issues, not just work arounds that don't stick. I am praying hard for you girl! Is your mom going with you? Please keep us posted as you can.

 Morning Everyone,

It is going to be a TERRIFIC tuesday for me because I am starting the 17 Day diet ( should be called eating plan it is NOT a diet ) today.    If anyone is struggling and a veteran WLS patient.....let me suggest this to you.   IT WORKS !!!    Not much planned so far today although my hubby came in this AM and was making suggestions for things for me to do today.   LOL    I need to go walking today for sure and get my butt back to trying to get off this re-gain.   I know if I could get stress out of my life it would come off....I don't see that happening anytime soon though.    Oh well....everyone go out and have a great day....I plan to.   Prayers going out for Yvonne's Sundance for his healing and prayers going out for Meggie and her trip tomorrow ( praying that they come up with answers for you ),  Prayers also for Norma's house to sell and for a job offer to come in for you too.   Love you guys and have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
