WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY.

Well I downloaded the forms I needed to send off for my nursing lic renewal. Got it notorized and mailed with my check today. I told the D.O.N. that I would accept the lpn job but only working 2 days a week at least to start .And she said that would be great but that if I wanted to pick up any extra days to let her know . I just know how it is with nursing , they agree to what ever you say and the next thing you know you are scheduled for 5 days a week. But I don’t think I can really do that and sure don’t want to. Maybe once in a while for extra money but not on a regular basis.

 

It has been some pretty weather the last couple of days, hasn’t it? Wish we could have weather like this all the time.

 

My stupid neck is hurting again. It really comes from around the shoulder area and I have  a knot about the size of your fist at the top of the shoulder blade . I have sat most of the day with ice pack and then heat on and off it . Have taken 2 muscle relaxants and so have been sleepy all day . Hopefully it will go away before tomorrow, since I have to work at Hanes tomorrow. I hate having to tell them I am going to quit but hopefully they will find someone to work in my place. Anyone know anyone in the Branson area that needs a job,sorry guys, it is a really neat job. You get lots of gift certificates and bonuses and a great discount.

 

DEBBIE  M: I was laughing like crazy with your description of your son and the mouse. I bet it is fun to always tease him about it .

Wow so if the problems you are having is coming from the band then what? Will you go ahead and do the RNY? I don’t want to wish you ill but I hope it is from the band if that is the only two choices we have.

 

Yes the meeting was wonderful , I got some cute size 10 denim skirts and two pretty suit striped skirts. I don’t wear skirts that much but maybe I will if I have them in my wardrobe.

Hey an idea the mouse you saw that stop , turned and looked at you was probably the one that your son had in the cabinet years ago and the mouse remembered you laughing at him, maybe he was talking himself out of attacking you lol

 

 

RACHAEL: well we will pray that Jaidens ears wont be infected any more,

Sorry you are losing your working partner. Where is she going to work at. Still up in your area or where.

 

 

VESTA: So that is where you went to last night? I wondered I looked around and you were gone. Sorry I didn’t get to talk to you more this time.

Wow I try to do that on a regular basis , give everything to God , It isnt easy and was a hard lesson to really learn .

 

 

JANET: your house guest and his wife , she sounds like a real B---- you know.

Well I sure wish Susan and you and Melissa could have been there last night. We have lot softer chairs now believe me.

The library is a real easy to find…not hard at all.

 

I cant believe that she has another hernia. Surely it didn’t just happen, so why didn’t they fix everything when they were in there before.

 

That sure would be good if having the nerves in your back burned to relieve the pain. Would be better than surgery but it has to be a certain kind of pain in a certain section according to the info I have read. Anyway I would hope it would be something that you could do.

 

Oh I sure hope you don’t not get to come to the reunion it will not be any fun if you aren’t there. Really it wont.

Oh there are some new depression meds that start to work quickly , more quickly than Zoloft, I cant think of the name right now but it isnt expensive and goes in to effect in about a week. Zoloft usually takes about 6 weeks to start taking effect.

I am so glad that Susan came and saw about you all. How is she doing ? I hope she is all over all the nasty stuff.

 

 

CHELLE: sure hope you start getting better quickly. There is life to be lived out there believe me therer is.

 

 

BEV: glad you went to the meeting in lees summit last night. I know Colette is an awesome support group leader isnt she?

No Oct 17^th isnt very long away. Will be here quicker than you can imagine.

Well if surgery is going to be in the dead of winter you might want to get there the day before and take a motel room just to be on the safe side. Then if it snows it wont be as bad to get to the hospital instead of trying to get all the way in it.

 

RIANNE: Hi you perky little girl you. Wow on the weight loss that is amazing and yes  hopefully you will be at the next COF meeting.

 

 

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

JAN

 

Hey Jan everyone. My new job is so fun I just love it. Its kinda hard though starting at the bottom there are things I cannot do ...As you may know im going to go be a barber and i see about it on the 31st i will let you all know more about it later...But, the Nursing never leaves your blood. I too am checking on what I can do about my Registerd Medical Techintians license since they told me it was for life . We'll see.....Iam constantly getting told to slow down at work lol. but I really dont realize how fast im walking. but I guess I do....sometimes my feet hurt when i get home like right NOW . .....But hey. Iam proud so proud and happy to be alive and able to do little things to help others to give back to the community and fellowman. God Bless    Craig Lee

Morning Everyone! Jan..yea, that mouse in the bathroom MIGHT of thought about attacking me but you realize it did leave!...LOL Remember, I did shoot one through the ceiling too! You reacted to the news about the lump like it was a bad. With you being a nurse....is their anything that you can tell me from your experiences? If it is going to get you down, don't worry about telling me. I don't think that anyone can scare me more than the internet search I did tho. If you do decide to talk about it, please do it through email. People on here don't need to know everything yet. They will know when they need too...right now all I ask is that they pray! There is a good possiblility that it is cancer, I know. With it being in the area it's in, the size and feel but I'm praying that it's not. I've heard that infections can cause this and aren't rashes a form of infection? I'm just praying and trying to leave the rest to God! My Dr almost cried and my pastor did as well so I figure the news isn't good but there is a chance that it's nothing. I feel every little pain and ping in my body now and wonder, is it cancer and is it everywhere? I am scared but I haven't given up yet! We will see what the biopsy says...if someone would hurry up and do it!....lol What we do in the "waiting time" is almost worse than anything they can tell us. There are A LOT of prayers going up so we will see what this brings! If it is my time to go...I have a lot of people up there that I miss and would love too see. I just hate what the ones left behind will be going through.  David is trying to stay strong but I can see he is scared as well! I haven't told my buddy Timothy about it, my grandson...and I really don't know how but I have asked that I be the one to tell him when and if there is a need too. Well, geez....did I throw a wet blanket on the party or what? Sorry!  LOL...We could blame it on Janet, she said to put what I was thinking on here...just kidding hun, I love you, you know that! It is scary but with God at my side and the prayers going up...who knows what will happen! I hear God works miracles and I feel lucky! David is home today, we have to take my car in for a checkup...it's making noise in the rear end. Hmmm, I have that problem too....lol, mine is probably the beans I ate!!   Gotta love that protein! I'm glad that everything went well at the meetings and I ask that the Lord bless each of these meetings and that they get better, bigger and stronger every month! As for getting RNY, if all this is caused from the Lap band, I don't know yet. I just haven't gotten that far but you guys with be the first to know when and if I do! Well, it's 5:30....time for meds and to see what I can get into before David gets up. I was planting and transplanting flowers yesterday! They all look beautiful this morning! Oops, I just hurt David's morning belch, I may not get anything done now...lol Geez, sounds like he had beans too...LOL!! You all try to have a WONDERFUL DAY!! I will! Jesus loves you and so do I!! Love & lots of Prayer, Deb M

Moring Jan,     I cant believe you are even thinking of going back to nursing.  You said you would never do that again.  But I do understand.  The joy of taking care of people, and the pay sure beats most other jobs.  As DON be assured we work the best people to the ground.  LOL.  No, we ask them frequently when we are in a crunch because we know we can count on them.     On a sad note, My Administrators hubby is dying of cancer.  Found out 2 weels agp amd jad 3 months to live - will not make it that long.  Already he is having major problems.  Colette

Dear Jan and OH Peeps~ Well, yesterday was a good day-YAY!!! We got up, our company left, the boys and I did some chores and then went and met Sus and Rory at their motel and then went off to a couple of shops while waiting for Mel to call us after her appt-and then we met at Pizza Inn and ate lunch....Sus had yogurt-poor thing, I felt bad about eating in front of her-she couldnt do the salad yet, even though she is in that phase. So-nothing on the buffet worked for her. For 4 adults and 2 kids to eat-it was $13, I think that included the tip-because us bariatric folks get the kids price and then 1/2 off because of the employee discount. That was nice. Since they hadnt met Mike yet-we asked them to come to dinner at our house-and then it was getting late (got to talking) and so I asked if they wanted to spend the night-our other co left yesterday and so we had the Corbett suite available and ready!!! We invited Mel and Terry to come eat and swim too-and we all had so much fun-of course-us gals were chatting up a storm-but the guys held their own when we were all together after we ate-BUT-still no match for us-LOL!!! Lets see-Im gonna try and cut this short because everyone just got up now and I dont want to be a rude hostess!!

Mels appt didnt go too hot-the doc admitted that she had this hernia B4 her first surgery, but they left it alone thinking it wasnt causing any problems. She sees the other surgeon today. She is so mad-and so am I. She is in so much pain-and they SHOULD have taken care of it WHILE they had her open-I told her that she needs to call and report them to Quality Management at the hospital because of what she is STILL having to go through because of their negligence.

Susan is looking and doing much much better. Im so glad-I am praying the worst is behind her. Now she will just soar through this! Im so excited for her. She had a major WOW moment here last night-but I will let her post that-since it was her first!! Im so happy for her!

**Jan-Congrats on the job-just hold your ground UNLESS you want the extra days and if they dont like it-they can TRY to find someone as good as you to replace you for those couple of days on a weekend-which seems harder to fill-Im happy for you and I know you will be great at it....

Yes, Shelly is the B word-TOTALLY. I dont like her-and neither does Mike and I think its very obvious that everyone tolerates one another for Wally. When I have more time I will tell you the things she did for 2 days-Lazy heifer!

Im glad the chairs are more comfy-I think that will make a huge difference. Cant wait to go and will do my very best to go next month-would love it.

Maybe you are thinking of Cymbalta-in which it also has a pain med in it? I cant afford it right now-but maybe when I get my medicare? It will all work out-Im confident.

**Deb M-I was laughing so hard at the mouse story with your son!! I almost wet my pants reading it-cant imagine being there!!  Arent you the one who shot at one in the ceiling? Maybe thats why that mouse stopped to "think" about it first-and prob thought that crazy woman would shoot it when she got out of the bathroom-LOL....

I am standing firm in faith with you that the cyst will be nothing. I am sending you a big old hug-please stay strong and if you need to talk-email me. I care about you and love you very much and I refuse to even think about anything bad, and I just want you to know we are ALL here for you, IF you need us-ok?

**Rianne-I know I am not the leader of the group-but please come late to the meeting if thats the only way we can see you. Sometimes they let class out early too-so you may not even be late every Monday, you know? I want to see you-so-better late than never. You sound like your doing good and your angel rocks, so-Keep on keeping on and will see you soon.  Are you going to be coming to the reunion?  Love ya.

**Chelle-Sus and I were just talking about the pain-and for both of us-it was perfectly normal. It took a few weeks to be pain free on the left side and we were both told that they cut some muscle there-so it may just be awhile-but if it gets constant or any worse-I would call them and make an appt.  Love you and hope you feel better soon.

**Erin-congrats on the job offers-I pray you get what you want. Your special and any company would be blessed to have you. Good luck with the house hunt too-maybe there is something better out there and you sure have the right attitude about it-if it doesnt go through, it wasnt the place for you. Take care. Love ya.

Sure hope I didnt miss anyone....Lana-did you get the cooper? Let us (me) know. Missed seeing you too.  Well, I am gonna go-think the company is finally awake-LOL....I will post more later when they leave and I have some time, ok?  Love and prayers to all, Janet

Good morning everyone!  I hope you all are having a good day?  I'm a little tired and sore don't know why but everything hurts today.  I have been having this pain in my upper right side and no it's not my gallbladder had that removed.  I have liver problems I don't know if it's that or not?  I guess I should go to the dr. and see about it just don't like going to the dr. I am trying to wean myself off from pop because I know after surgery I can't have it and I am so addicted to it.  I think it's as bad as having to give up cigs? I am drinking about one a day now on a good day sometimes I drink 2.  I have been drinking more water and crystal light so that is good.   I can't seem to get motivated to exercise.  I'm always so tired and everything hurts that I don't feel like exercising most days.  I know if I did I would probably feel better in the long run it's just that first step to get me started which is the hardest.  If I had an exercise buddy maybe it would help motivate me but I just don't know of anyone? Well, I guess I better get back to work.  Take care and I hope everyone has a great day!

I live in Blue Springs. Is that any where close to you? I'd love to have a work out partner!

Janet

Hello Missouri, What a great week of beautiful weather.  Sorry many are feeling not so good.  You are in my prayers. Janet - Glad you had a better day.  You sure deserve one.  Know you enjoyed visiting with Susan, Melissa and hubbys.  That was like a mini-reunion vacation all in one.  WOO HOO!!!  I sure hope you can come to the reunion.  We'll get ice for your ice pack, we promise.  We'd miss you so much. Let me know about Dollar Store prizes - remember??? Jan - Good for you on the nursing job.  If you don't like it you can just quit - OK.  I have given my permission.  At our age we can be contrary if necessary. Deb - I am praying about the lump.  I had a scare like that once and it was a lymph node in my upper chest area and it was caused by an infected tooth so hope yours is as simple.  In my prayers, of course. Rianne - Little cutie we'll be glad to see you at a meeting at any time.  Do come and show yourself off - you look awesome already I'm sure. Chelle - Hope you are feeling better now.  Can't wait for you to be up and at em!!  Know you are anxious too. Erin - Congtatulations on all the job offers.  You are one popular woman.  Know that whatever you decide will be great.  Let us know about the house situation. Colettte - Sounds as if you had a great meeting the other night.  Congrats to you. I didn't get the Mini Cooper yet.  There was a piece of trim that I was fussy about and wanted it to be replaced and they had to order it down from Kansas City so that's holding it up but I have a car so it's their problem - they haven't gotten paid yet so I know there is incentive to get it to me as soon as possible.  The goal now is Friday morning - we'll see!! Hugs and love to everyone. Lana

Thank you Lana...I needed to hear that!  May I ask where exactly the lump was located? Was it hard, soft, movable or stable and how big? Sorry but I'm being a sponge and soaking every bit of info in that I can get! Thanks for your help and ENJOY that Mini Cooper! My pastor's wife has one and I see her buzzing around town in it....she looks so cute! Love & Prayers, Deb M
