Good Morning All!  I am home from the Outpatient Surgery Center and I am proud to say that Luigi the Lipoma on my left leg has lost his life!!!!  Doc said it was quite a good sized lipoma and they've sent it off to pathology anyway.

As for me, the rest of my day is going to be spent here in my chair with my leg propped up on pillows and my pain meds on board.  I've got a protin shake in and am about to take another nap.

More later.................

Morning California:

I haven't been feeling real great the past few days, so I've been trying to rest.  I spent  this morning ordering what school books I could online.  The rest I'll go in to get midweek next week because then I can purchase a  student bus pass.  It saves a ton of money on bus fare!  My classes start August 31st.  Intermediate Algebra, Appreciation of Literature (which will complete my reading comp and Humanities requirements) and Strength Training.  OMG, yes, I'm taking a weight lifting class three mornings a week.  I must be crazy, but it completes my PE requirement and it might even be fun.

The rest of today brings errands and running in the afternoon.  I whipped up a batch of Protein Balls (old recipe from Kirk Thompson's profile)  I was hopefuly they'd be good, but wow, I made 48 of them and they're almost gone!  (I've had exactly one of them)  So, I'll be making these more often.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Janeen,

Do you have the recipe for the protein balls or the link to it?  I tried to find it but could not..

Thank you, Lori W

I hope you enjoy them as much as my family is!

Good afternoon all.

I am finally here posting.  I have been feeling kinda down these last few days.  I am running a low temp, so I called the doctor and I am waiting for a call back.  That is probably why I am not doing well.  I was going to sit here and complain, but as I read the posts, there is always someone worse off than me, and I will not complain.  I am blessed to have a great surgeon to take care of me. 

Vegas will never been the same with Lu and Steph going, and I hope they have good bladder control, because those two ladies are nuts!!!!!  Too much fun to be around. 
Momo, I am so glad that Luigi is gone and that things are better.  Now you will just have a little scar.  I will give all of those attending school a PAT on the back.  I would be so bored, I get bored in school.   The classes are either just boring or so over my blonde head I don't get it, and that light bulb never seems to go off in my brain.

I hope I get out of my pity party and move on, right now it's just sucks!  Love you all, Diane

Hi all...
Lisa, I am in the same boat...pain in my lower right abdominal quadrant.  I had some blood and urine work done, some scans also.  I have been to the doctor's 3 times this week since Saturday night.  PAIN erupted Sat. morning and didn't go away until yesterday....it subsided, but is still present.  Appendicitis has been taken off the list, I DO have a UTI, but it is more extensive than just the UTI...so I am having a full abdominal/pelvic ultrasound done with an inter-vajayjay sonogram  also...ugh!  It was that or another CT scan and I just had a cardiac CT scan done 2 weeks ago..I am done with IVs for awhile..lol 
Wishing everybody a blessed week...
