So it will be officially Saturday when I hit the send button!

Happy Saturday to all of you!!!!

No wondering why I am up this early....well I did fall asleep about 8 or so...didn't take too long after I layed down either because I was beat from driving from LA to home....in fact it took nearly 2 and a half hours to drive from LA to West Covina and then anothe hour and a half from there to Palm Springs....I hate driving in all that traffic and don't know how you all commute in it each day!

I had an appointment with my doc....6 weeks to the day after surgery....I was discharged on a PRN basis. Doc was super happy with the recovery I have made and was pleased that there was no areas of pockets of fluids that needed to be drained. Believe me, I was thrilled about that one. I have a weird little thing (hard to explain) under my left breast, but wants to wait 4-6 months and will be able to repair it in the office if it is there...and I said yep it will be there...but it is not a biggie. I still hurt from all the stuff I went through....although not as bad or lets say nowhere as bad as it was. I know that it takes months for some of the soreness to go away because of having tissue stitched to my ribs, but all in all...I think I am going to be happy with the outcome. I still have swelling issues as I am one of those people *****tain a lot of fluid after surgery...I will be glad when that stops....usually takes me months for that one. Another bit of good news....he said I can ride my motorcylce, but only up and down on my block for a while to get my feet wet so to speak....he does not want me out on the open road for a while still because my motorcycle is so darn big. I can exercise to tolerance....ok...I already have started before he said so...it feels good....now if I can get back to where I was! So there was good things yesterday in spite of the traffic!

I have not had a chance to read the boards....yesterday was a wash and right now I am not up to it.

What I want to say is that do support the people here who need your support. There is a vast array of reasons for the need of support here as you all know....but when you take the time to type a kind word....it is really appreciate even when there is no feedback. I can tell you from experience...it is all of you who have pulled me through the highs and lows of my life and it is a good feeling to give back!

Have a great day all....

Good "morning" Janine and Cali. I haven't been to bed yet, so it's not morning for me yet...lol That's my logic anyway. Got all the errands done today, so nothing really on the agenda for the weekend, except I need to pick up a wireless router from a gal on Freecycle. Gonna hook up my laptop to it. Yippee skippy!! Then Church on Sunday. That's about it for me. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Remember your vitamins, Calcium and Water. It's really starting to heat up now and we need to be even more vigilant with the amount of water we drink. It's been a year since I broke my ankle due to dehydration and low protein, but believe me, I will NEVER forget the lesson I learned. Ok, I am jumping off my soap-box now...lol Think I'm gonna head to bed in a few minutes.

Good Morning Janine & Everyone,
I am sorry the drive was so long, but I am glad everything is healing right. I hate driving in traffic too, thats one of the reasons why I dont mind my work hours, no traffic. I was exhauted last night, I crashed around 8:00 and actually slept (on & off of course****il 3:00. I am still tired, but I worked 10 1/2 hours yesterday and only expected to work 8. I did get to spend the whole day with the Corporal I like. He was training a new guy to Medical, wish he would be there again today. It was nice to spend the day flirting and having someone flirt back. The sad thing is he showed no interest beyond flirting, at least none I could tell. It is times like this I wish I had good self esteem and felt like I looked like people say I do. All I can tell myself is I like him, he can flirt with me, but he will never like me. It sucks, I had a wonderful day, but still went home depressed. OK done whinning it does no good. Today is work again in the "doctor office", tomorrow is meds. I am already looking forward to a day off Wednesday.
Oh well time to go drink my coffee, eat my egg and get myself "up" for work.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!! Be good to yourselves and those around you!!

Sorry Chris,........
I ended up going into work, and didn't get your message until way late. But all is good with me. DD's friend Nelson was here with her when I got home and we all watched tv for a few hours before I headed to bed. I hope we can hook up soon, it would be fun.

Good morning Janine....

Happy Saturday!!!  I haven't been on the board lately, because I have been so busy.  I sent 3 days in
Oregon on a business trip...had a very nice time.  Funny things is I did things that I would have  not be able to do a year ago.  It was pretty cool...On one of the days we had to take 4 wheel drives up a mountain and we got stuck, so the guys said how about everyone get out and see without the weight he would be able to move the truck....well it work, but when I got one of the other guys said.."he even had you (michele) get out...you are as light as a feather"...It felt so good..I thought, boy, no one has ever called me a feather!!!

Boy, I have had a hard time sleeping last night...I got about 3 hours of sleep..just not tired...go figure!!

On the agenda this weekend is....hair cut this morning, Birthday party this afternoon and then just cleaning and get things organized and ready for my surgery on Tuesday....tomorrow were going to have a bunch of people over for Father's day dinner....

Hope you all have a nice day!!!

Hugs, Michele

Good morning Janine and crew...yep up early as usual. 

So sorry about the traffic Janine - I am with  you and Nikki - I HATE traffic....but glad to hear all is going well.

I have a busy weekend planned....and am not feeling real great.  Had to make a run to urgent care last night about 7:30 as I realized that I had a bladder infection (and as any of you that have had one know - not comfortable...but I got my exercise back and forth to the bathroom..lol).  Anyway....I was right...so I am on Cipro for that.....but it was a good evening as Dave, sweetheart that he is, brought me roses last night and we had a nice evening...watched Gran Torino with CLint Eastwood....good flick...I recommend it.

Anyhow...today is a baseball game later this afternoon then gonna watch another movie tonight.....The Changling.  Then tomorrow is a BBQ at my sisters house for fathers day and my bro in laws b-day...so it should be a fun day.....

So...for me today besides taking meds I am definitely drinking tons and tons of water to clear up this bug....

Hope everyone has a great weekend.....

Hugs to all

OMG was Gran Torino the best? I jus****ched it this last week! Clint Eastwood brillant actor...eptiomozed the quintisential bigot that had a heart of a teddy bear that he did not want others to see. I loved the movie! BTW brought back memories...one of best friends has a Gran Torino....we had so much fun in that car!!!

Feel better Jean!

Yep - great flick.  But the ending...WOW.  Have you seen  the Changling with Angelina Jolie?  Dave said its great - we are gonna watch that one tonight.

I am already feeling better...amazing that just a couple of pills and tons of water can be helping so quick...

Take care girlfriend

The Changeling is super, super, super dark.  I couldn't stomach it.  It is a very interesting story though, look it up on Wikipedia and read the truth of the story.  It is quite an interesting one, to me much more fascinating than the movie.

Enjoy it!  I would love to hear your critique after you watch it.

HAGW!!
