Wed Roll Call

Lynne welcome home. Each day will get better.

Dawn, let us know what happened at the Dr with Liv!

I am back from the doctor and she gave Liv oral Keflex and said that I was on the right track, but to watch it closely for the next day or so.  She has another appointment on Friday morning first thing.  If it is not A LOT better by then, she will send us over to the surgeon for lancing. The rapid strep test came back negative, but they did not test for MRSA.  I guess you can call me "Dr. Mom" on top of all my other titles!

You're such a good Mom.. She'll be better in no time! Christina

Aw shucks.....you're making me blush!!! Thanks for the compliment and let's hope she is on the mend! Now....if she would just stop being SO clumsy.  (It's her age, I know.......)

Hi Dawn - I hope the appointment w/ Liv goes good.  Thanks for understanding what I'm going thru.  I guess it's just something we will battle for life.  It's a disease.  I'm focused on doing the right things and using my tool properly.   Christina

Good Morning Christina and the rest of Illinois, I am so sorry about your news, but glad for Calvin's. Christina, you will lose the 13# you gained. You have come to far to slack off compleatly. It started raining here about 5:15 this morning. At the moment, 8 am,  we have shaded sun, so it will probaly clear for a while today.  I hope everyone has a productive day. I have already decluttered the main bath, and will fini**** shortly. I still need to eat breakfast, thenm I have a pcp appointment for the yearly. I want to do some other cleaning today also. Yesterday I spread mulch on the area around the pool while Hubert was cleaning it (the pool).  Tomorrow I will see Dr. Guske, or his NP, I also have to go for a CT and an echo. So, I will be at ABMC almost all day :( Hugs

Hi Lisa - thanks for the incouragement.. I know I can do this.  I just have to go back to the basics and stay focused.  Calvin has not actually been offered the job but should hear something rather quickly after the day of training with the training store.  It's pretty common these days in this line of work for them to want you to work a day to see how you interact with other employees etc.  It sounds promising, they already gave him the insurance info. Sounds like your staying busy. Hope you have a great day! Christina

good morning everyone!!  its raining here as well and is promising to be quite the dreary day and i've got so much to do!  i pre-emptively stepped on the scale this morning.  i've been trying to only weigh on fridays but i was curious.  it moved!  =)  down to 272 now.  almost 25 pounds lost in just over 3 wks.  not too shabby!! i'm very excited about my latest purchase.  i LOVE LOVE LOVE craigslist!  and i found a fabulous elliptical machine used for maybe 3 hrs according to the owner for 250.  i convinced my hubby i needed it and i'm now started to get my booty back into the exercise world.  i did 20 mins this morning and it about killed me.  i had to take 15 sec breaks almost every minute but it can only get better from here right?  =)  when i lost all my weight after the surgery, i almost ran in the chicago marathon.  i was registered and ready to go.  unfortunetly, an old knee injury interrupted things.  i want to get myself back into the shape i was then.  i'm well on the way though!! everyone have a great day!! good luck for calvins 2nd interview!!

Wow Christie.. Congrats on the weight loss.  You are doing great.  I love using the elliptical, and 250 was a great deal.  I wonder why I have such a hard time making it to the gym.  I really do enjoy it once I'm there.  Have a great day and keep it up, you're doing great! Christina
