Great news about DD, Liz! Fingers crossed for happy news when she sees her doctors. I know too many women for whom the IUD has caused severe issues. I'm sorry your DD was yet another!
I spent all afternoon and evening at the ER with my pops. He had debilitating pain across his lower abdomen and the assisted living folks called 911. By the time I arrived at the ER his pain was gone and they were running tests. He had blood work, urinalysis, more blood work, gallbladder ultrasounds, and CT Scan for liver and kidney. Nothing was conclusive. But now we know he has gallstones, but not causing problems because he was fine during palpation and exam in that area and there was no deferred pain during exam. He also has significantly raised liver enzyme numbers, which will require monitoring. Thought the doctor said, "Monitoring is really optional at his age with his memory issues." I got home just after 9:30 pm.
I'm glad to see my weight holding under that 210 mark. I was thinking about returning my new 32" elastic waist workout/casual shorts, but maybe now I will hang on to them. I should be able to fit in them more comfortably in another 10 pounds. Once the entire 20 is gone, I'm sure they will be fine.
Jealous of Diamond D having teacher work days today and tomorrow. Pre Spring Break behavior is on in full force!!!
Thriving Thursday....
Yay for DD's good news on the medical front!

LONG day yesterday. DD's surgery was delayed by 4 hours so we were at the hospital from 10:30 to 6:30. But all went smoothly - more so than expected. I think we were afraid they would find some terrible fibroid that required a hysterectomy because of all the hemorrhaging but there wasn't much. No fibroid at all. They did remove tissue and it will be examined but the thoughts are that the IUD, which was missing, had run out of hormones and her body was trying to expel it (which it apparently did). Though the last blood test showed a hint of another possible hormone related cause for all the difficulties. When she sees her doctor next week hopefully she will get next steps. Thank goodness she has good doctors now.
So it was late and I was very tired getting back to the hotel. I had soup for dinner but chose a pastry while picking up the soup. Not a good idea. I didn't need it but ate it anyway and my insides were unhappy for a while. Lesson learned (I hope).
Today I may get out of my room somewhat early for a walk as my room wasn't cleaned yesterday because I left late. Not happy about that. Lunch with DD probably. I may go visit SIL this afternoon and come back mid-day tomorrow but need to mull that over. I think DD is going to feel pretty much back to normal today after a good night's sleep.
Have a thoughtful Thursday!

Hot tub on a cool day! Yes! (I don't like them when it is warm outside but definitely when it is not)

That was you yelling at a printer??? LOL
No experience with that type of dental cleaning though many people I know have had it including my DD in her 30's. Speaking of which I should get myself a dental appointment. It is getting down to 2 months until we go north for the summer.

Good news on your Mom. Good assisted living can be such a good environment at that stage of life. My MIL probably lived longer and happier because of the support.

I saw the puppies under your page (not TT). They are adorable! Are you getting one?
Nice job bypassing the donuts! I had a pastry last night and not only felt guilty but my intestines were definitely not thrilled either.
