Hello

I have been MIA yet again, I do try to pop in and read posts from time to time, I however do not have a lot of ME time these days, one more week and I will have completed my first semester of my Masters... it keeps me extreemly buzzzzy and my mind off of our loss, everyday it gets easier to think and talk about but it is still very hard for me. Why is it men tend to "bounce" back much better than us gals...??

Just wanted to pop in and say Hello and I do hope to find the time one Monday soooon to join the chat!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey hey.. glad to hear from you! Wow.. you are moving right along in that degree! Good for you! I would love to go for psychology, but man it takes so long to get a decent degree in it.

I am glad you are healing a bit at a time. I am not so sure men get over it better, I think they just pu**** to the back of the mind and go on. They are very different creatures than us gals.

I think of you guys so often Phyl, and always hope you are healing and bouncing back. Any more grandbabies on your horizon? I have 3 now.. wow! Enough for the moment..lol I seem to get a new one about every 2 years.. thats just about right..lol

I had to have a almost complete hyterectomy, 3 weeks ago today. Took the uterus, left ovary and tube and removed a cyst from the right ovary. I will be thrilled when it sinks in that I REALLY never ever have to have my monthy cycle again! WOOO HOOOOOO!!!

Glad to hear from you. Please try to stop in again when you can.
Hugs!

Welp I was wrong it is not my first semester but my first quarter.. what ever I gots me 3 months LESS of my Masters program almost done.... lol I have a "residency" that I have to do mid september for a week in Orlando, plus my next 2 classes, comes to 16 credit hours next quarter...thank goodness i get a week off  between quarters to slightly recharge.

I know guys show emotion differently - but it just seems they are over things so much quicker or that it never bothered them in the first place....I know that is not the case will Allen. We have actively begun trying again this month, after getting the A OK from the genetisist. So we have had loads of talks about what ifs and all that good stuff. I had not ovulated since the miscarriage, so my new OB put me on a very low does of Clomid to stimulate my ovaries into working again....I have an ultrasound on Monday to check to see if it is working...if the low dose does not do it we will up it the following month and again for a 3rd month, and if still not working we will try something called famera, if that does not work we are done....which for me at the moment is NOT some thing I can think about.

I got a phone call from a 719 area code and missed the call and thought it might have been you, but checked ur number in my cell phone and it was not....lol

Ashley had a miscarraige in July @ 7wks pg. She is handeling it pretty well, said it almost didnt seem "real" as she never got to see the little bean on US - so maybe that is why she is dealing it better than I would be. She said they are NOT actively trying at the moment as she was asked to be in a wedding, and does not want to be PG for it.... kids gotta have priorities right... lol told her givin me another grandchild was TOP priority over a wedding... lol Braxton is a doll!!!  I check to see if Candice posts new pics of him everyday.... shame I gotta watch him grow up via pictures.... maybe someday I will get out there to see ya all's!! Or better yet you all's just move back here... or at least come for a visit... lol

Hope your healing well from your surgery, at least you have an ovary left so you do not have to take hormone supplements. I am sure it will take no time at all for it to sink in that the old AF witch will never knock on your door again....

Hoping you and Paul are doing well. Hugz

Well either way.. semester, quarter.. you are a step closer to wrapping up your education! I am so proud of you!

As far as the call from the 719 area code.. ya just never know. I have the prefix 371 and 547 and Candice has a 306 prefix.. so it could have been either of us. Look again..lol

I am glad ashly didn't take it too hard losing the baby. How did you take it when she told you? I hope you are handling it ok. Let me know how all goes with the conception attempts. Is there anything they can do for you if you do concieve again, to help prevent miscarraige more aggressively?

Braxten is pure JOY. He has plumped up and filled out and grown so much in just over 6 weeks. He is such a precious lil man. I love to snuggle him and kiss his fuzzy little head. He smiles alot, and is trying to make noises, as if trying to "talk" to us... its just too cute! I hope you get to see him soon. Moving back there... not happening I am afraid. Cannot move away from my grandbabies! Have considered relocating.. but just "need" to be close to them. If the kids ever spread their wings and move away, I may relocate, but doubt Ohio would be the place. A visit sometime.. now this may be possible. AND you guys are always welcome here!

I will be in Fla in mid september as well for a training I am attending. I will be in Miami tho.We will be so close to each other, yet so far.

Love and miss you!
We are hanging right in there. Paul stills struggles alot and his pain is ever increasing. We just take it a day at a time.

Thanks for the updates Phyllis.  I would love to chatter with you some Monday.  Hope you get your wishes filled.  Study hard, but take a moment here and there for yourself.  Hugs
