Tuesday Roll Call
Good morning all. My tummy woke me up a short while ago. Sometimes it does that to me. I realized that I was so busy yesterday that I did not eat like I should have. When my tummy needs to be filled then there is no going back to sleep for me. I am feeding it and I will go back to sleep and sleep like a baby for a few hours.
Anything special going on in your world today? I found out that my boss is gone for two days starting today. He will be in Springfield for some type of an autism meeting. He has a girl with autism and he is active with some legislature right now.
Going to curl up in my chair for a while - I will check back later.

Morning!
All is good with me today. My college is on spring break, so I have more time for me this week. I have been needing some time off. I took a nice long walk last night. I bundled up and went out snooping in the woods by the lake down the road. I found what looked like an old junk yard. So, of course I snooped through all the junk. (Its a guy thing) I even found a big hill that I climbed up. I never could have done that 6 months ago. It felt good.
It was all muddy, so I tried to clean my shoes off in the grass on the way back home. Its about 1/4 mile to and from the lake. I got most of it off. (The carpet got the rest
)Anyway, running to work.
Everyone have a good day. Its supposed to be warm, but rainy.

Hi everybody,
Getting up for the day and ready for the gym. Yesterday I took a day off after a PC dr. appointment.
They did blood work and I'm hoping they will bring down some of my meds.
I haven't taken a me day off for a very long time and I spent it working on a couple of quilts, I am so far behind on the baby quilts I'm making(darn girl had twins). It was so nice to get the centers done.
I went to work because I had a conference call first thing but left for the Dr apt. Of course, I got the dirty looks from co-workers about where do you think your going. Never mind I have 3 weeks vacation and for the last two years have lost more than a week each year.
This year I'm taking my vacation if I have to do it a day at a time.
Anyway not much going on, work is stressful as I'm working on a project and we are rolling out a new system. They keep inching the go live date up, by calling it transition, but if I have to I stay late and I will get done what I need to do.
Everyone have a blessed day.

Good Morning Christine and Illinois Frineds!
Well, I made it through Monday! Some weeks that is an accomplishment. Yesterday was a good day at work. Everything went well, and customers were nice. Shhh dont tell anyone as I would like a repeat day today. I ended up taking 2 days off last week as I was getting really burned out and I think that is just what I needed, so I had a nice long weekend.
They announced a cube decoraing contest yesterday and I went out and got stuff last night to start "repanelling" my walls. It will be nice and cheery. I am looking forward to something other than boring beige!
Got my knee shots yesterday so my knees are feeling 200% better. I love it!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello everyone
I went to my education class yesterday. It was about 4 hours, lots of info. I have to start my liquid diet and I'm not looking forward to that. Its seems I will be constantly hungry for the next two weeks. Just to make it easier I went through my cabinets and packed up everything that will tempt me and brought it to work. I will give the food to someone here at work. Some of that food I wouldn't be able to eat for a year so might as well get rid of it. May I add...I'm so excited. I can't believe this is really going to happen. We also got some goodies- a pedometer, excersise bands, a protein counter book, and a CD ROM with all the info we went over. I think I'm set to go now
When I got home last night I checked the mail and my daughter sent me a card. It was a card to say she believes I can do it. But she wrote a poem she said reminded her of me from Shel Silverstein. Here it is-
All of the woulda-coulda-shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done...
But those woulda-coulda-shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little DID!!!
Isn't that so sweet. I really am so lucky to have a daughter like that.
Have a nice soggy day...

Hello everyone-
I am newer here, just had surgery one week ago today! I am going to my doctor today for my one week check up, get the drain and staples removed, etc. I also will get weighed officially. I think my scale is different from theirs by alot so I have not wanted to update my weight loss yet! Anyone have a suggestion for a good scale?
Then after my appt I am going to pick up a cake for my daughter, Cassie's, bday tomorrow, she will be 5. (We have a almost 7 year old, Jessie, and and 8 1/2 year old, Tyler too). I also need to wrap presents and pick up cookies for her preschool class! Her presents are being delivered today, thank goodness. I ordered them after my surgery since I could not go shopping. My mother is going to help me with all this today luckily since I cannot drive yet. I have alot of very supportive friends and family.
That being said, can you tell me how long any of you were on the pain meds for? Is it normal that I cannot get off them yet because the pain is too bad? My husband is worried about me taking it for too long, I do not normally take narcotics.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday! Time to get dressed to see what my new life brings today!

HI Jen:
You are doing FABULOUS!!!! I can't believe that you have so much to do today! At one week out, I was still kind of hibernating.
I'm sure that I took the pain medicine on schedule for at least that first week. Then, I returned to work for half-days so I only took it in the evening, with Tylenol during the day.
I KNOW that I had to sleep in the recliner for more than 2 weeks because the bed was just too uncomfortable. I remember asking my doctor at the 2 week check up if the pain from the largest incision would EVER go away. They assured me that it would and one day, it just did! Each day was a little better and of course, I am now pain free (I would hope so after 2.5 years! hehehehe)!
Just remember that you have had MAJOR surgery and allow yourself to recover. Each day WILL be a bit better than the last!

Good morning everyone!
It's exciting to see all the newbies here. Welcome and keep coming back. You'll get a lot of support here!
It looks like a busy day today at work which is fine--the day goes faster that way. It sure is warmer even though it's a gray day. You can tell spring is coming.
Have a good day and be grateful!
