what's up doc---sorry i have been gone the last few days

today is a little bit rainy, it is nice. now i just have to get my art stuff out to the car without getting it wet.  yep, today is my last art class.  booooooo hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!    hopefully a new class will start the end of april.

i gave up for now on my flamingo dancer. she doesn't just seem "right".  i might try again later to finish her up.  i will try something new now.  another pastel though.

i am entering two pastels in an art show today.  one is of the knome and the other is a  view of a lake with  moutains.    it almost looks like a snapshot.  i doubt if i win anything but it is worth the try.

before i go to art class, i have to go have some lab work done at the doctor's office. it is for iron. i have doubled again the amt of iron i am taking. this is 4 times the amount i took when i first started on this journey.  i sure hope it works or i will have to go on iron infusions and i don't really want to do that.  i will keep you posted.

my hubby's stomach has been bothering him again the last few days.  i sure hope he can get over all this stuff soon. i feel so sorry for him. i love him so much. the say the second time around is better and it has been.  the first time we were married 1 1/2 years.  

how are all of you doing?  are u taking care of yourselves, getting plenty of the good stuff.  be sure and try to do some r and r.  you need to be as nice to yourself as you can be.  also, try to help another person or creature today. it really does make us better persons.  have a wonderful day.

hugs, vick

Hey Vick! Good luck in the art show! Hoping you win!!!
So sorry about your hubby's struggles. I know you strugle right along with him. Believe me I know. I also hope your iron level comes up. I must have missed a post, as i didn't realize you were struggling with your iron levels. I know the infusions are not fun! Lets hope this ncrease does it for you!

I am doing pretty well. Still recovering from the plastics, but coming along well. Tenderness in abdominal muscles still present, and that keeps me from persuing the toning I want to do at this time. I hope it will not be much longer.

I was told I could swim at 4 weeks if everything was healed over. I have not gone yet, as i have a spot at the top of the crack of my behind that is still scabbed, cuz it tends to crack open just a bit at times, I guess from stretching out when sitting down. So i am still not sure if i should go in the pool or not with that.
I try to do something nice for someone else every day. I do better with that than myself at times I think! lol.
Love and hugs.. you be nice to you too!

patrece, i wouldn't go into any water with that or any scab from the surgery.  my doc was really strong on that. keep safe. love ya, vick

nope.. I won't.. don't wanna take any chances
Love ya too.

Hey Vick, missed you the past couple of days, added my response to your joke posting, you will get a chuckle of this one. 

Worked a little overtime again this morning, population explosion at work towards the end of the shift.  Got home, had some cottage cheese and went to bed, no TV, ne email, no computer games.  Did something nice for myself.  Slept well. 

This afternoon, sunny with spotty cloudy times.  I had a burst of energy and decided to take a long, long walk with the dogs.  Dennis declined to join us, but would be available to pick us up if we became exhausted and called home for a lift.  We were gone 90 minutes, went about 5 miles and I put on 10,500 steps on the ol' pedometer, up to 16000 since midnight at this time.  My legs feel ok after all the steps, I do think I will sleep good again after supper.  Oscar and Gretta had a good time during the walk, Oscar kept picking up snacks along the return trip home.  Now are you wondering snacks?  I would be.  He kept finding dried earthworms, worm jerky.  One of his alltime favorite snacks.  I would rather he ate that than the goose droppings that he also seems to find appealing, yuk.  I avoid the areas with lots of geese for that reason.  The geese like to stand around the bike path by the lake, not on the grass by the path, but on the path and drop their logs, slimy paths, ughhhhh

Let us know how you do at the art show, I have faith that you will do well.  Hope Todd's stomach resolves soon, you are good for eack other.  Boost your iron, hoping for better numbers with the next labs.  Be kind to yourself too, hugs

my dogs like any kind of logs, yukkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!  tootsie rolls!  you get in a lot of walking, i wish i could, my knees won't allow it.  i think i am going to go to lubbock and try to get a second opinion.  have a wondrful evening and good night at work. love ya, vick
