WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY

I just got home from work and have to turn around and go back in , in the morning. I gave Hanes my notice tonight so hopefully they will have someone to replace me in the next week. I hate this closeing at night then turning right around and going back in to open in the morning.

 

 

 

My legs and back are really hurting tonight so I have taken a pain pill when I came in so I am going to make this short and sweet tonight. But it will be here for you all to post too ok?

 

 

 

 

 

 

CRAIG: so glad that you enjoy your job, I know what you mean about the nursing never leaving your blood. Lol. Don’t know what shoes you have but go get you some New Balance they are the best for walking and holding your foot right.

I know what you mean about being happy that you can do this stuff now. Isnt it awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DEBBIE  M: Im sorry I didn’t mean for you to take my reaction as bad about the lump. I don’t believe in borrowing trouble. So think positive about it until it is proven to be something other than just a infected lymph node.

Trust in God to bring you through anything you have to face . He will guide you and let you lean as much as you want.

Know that all of us are praying that it be nothing so don’t worry until you have something to worry about. Life is way too short for that.

Love you and we are here

 

 

 

 

 

 

COLETTE: lol that will teach me to say never wont it? The money won out. Joe and I want a Honda Gold wing trike. , lots of money. About one years wages lol

Don’t think I will be much to count on for the DON because I don’t intend to be use and abused. Lol

Sorry to hear about your administrators husband. That is sad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

JANET: so glad that you finally had a good day and didn’t rush that much. Certainly wish Susan would have come to the meeting Monday night.I would have loved to see her again.

I cant believe these doctors about Melissa. Are they that bad and dumb?

I almost thank they should call the someone pretty high up , They it seem like they were wanting to charge medicare for another surgery.

 

 

 

That might be the med I am thinking of , it has been so long since I gave meds so im not up on all the newest one.

 

 

 

BEV: I hope you can get off the soda. I had too do that too. It can be really hard to give them up.

So hope  your day went great too.

 

 

 

LANA: hello girl. I tried one of your receipe s this morning

 

 

 

That is what I told Joe is that if I didn’t like it they can spit on the tag.

 

 

 

Hope you get your little car soon , cant wait to see you in it.

Go go speed racer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS.

JAN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning All Jan...no harm, no foul! I just seem to be getting a lot of "Oh, I'm sorrys!" and I thought if you knew something I didn't, you would share....lol I'm trying to think positive but it's hard, knowing that all my symptoms...size, shape, location and history all point to that "C" word we all keep trying to avoid! I have read, read and read some more, until my eyes dry out! I want to have every question I need answered when I walk into the Dr (surgeon) consult on the 31st. I have my yearly mammo on the 1st. I will say one thing....it better not be the "C" word. I just got my hair cut, colored and styled and it looks mavelous, besides I would look real funny bald headed, I really don't have the head for it!  David has always made fun of the way my head is shaped but he said if it is the "C" word and I have to lose my hair, he would go down to the Harley shop and buy me all kinds of skull caps (head bandanas for those that don't know what skull caps are)....we laugh about this but we stand together in believing that this lump is from an infection in my body either caused by a allergic reaction to the Lap Band or just some bug I got! In Jesus's name, Amen! God is ALREADY making MIRACLES happen. I wasn't aware of it but my 2 older sisters haven't spoke to each other in 2 years! Connie, the one I have had you all helping me pray for wrote me today and asked if I had been praying for them because just out of the blue Delaine, the younger of the two had just emailed Connie a long letter catching her up on everything that had been going on in her life. Praise the Lord! I just sent Connie an email back with just a big Smilie face on it! I'm glad you all loved the story about Jason and the mouse...it was funny! Hysterically Funny! That's not the only time Jason gave me a good ol belly laugh! He can be quite humerous at times...lol Yes JANET.....I was the one that shot a mouse threw the ceiling of my house....lol Your a Redneck when?? Well, I'm tired so I'm off to bed!! Everyone have a GREAT DAY!! Lots of Love & Prayers~~Deb M

 

Hello Jan and OH Peeps~ Jan-maybe there is something in the air-because my pain level was off the charts yesterday too, but, I didnt go to work like you. Once Sus and Rory left-I just did some housework and the rest of the day-was spent on heat and ice! Pretty much afternoon and on-I was in tears on and off all day, and to top that off, I feel like I am trying to come down with something-not sure just what-but dont feel like myself.  I even slept through my coffee time with Mike this morning-when I woke up, he was already gone to work. I woke up feeling like I had a fever. I just feel crappy. I cant be sick today-I have to go in town and take my daughter to her APO counseling thing that should, maybe, I pray-help her deal with her dads sickness or whatever you want to call it.

Im so glad I got time with Susan. I am so lucky to have either had an angel I am best friends with and love dearly or been an angel to people I love and are best buds with. You know-Mel and Sus have already been more of a family to me, than my family is-its so wild. Mel said something the other day that she said really started to hit home-when she has done kind things for my kids or given them something she found at a sale or something, they would look amazed-and a little confused-because besides Mike and I-my kids dont have family that just does stuff, just because. We arent used to this-Im not saying that all families are like that-but before my grandparents died-they were like that as well-and since they have been gone-well.......

Im so P.O'd that the surgeons left that hernia IN THERE when THEY WERE IN THERE and it would have just taken minutes to fix it and/or get it out-not sure how they repair them-BUT-they should NOT have left it alone when THEY KNEW HER PAIN LEVEL and that she was in her 2nd surgery and didnt even recover from the first one when she had to have that one-what the hell is wrong with those doctors? YES- I WANT HER TO GET IN TOUCH WITH QUALITY MANAGEMENT-this is WRONG-medicare or not-they left her feeling like crap and in pain every single day and HOW do they expect her to recover fully when she is freaking hurting everyday? S~O~B~Im so horrified with our medical system and Im tellin' ya-here in Joplin-I DO NOT HAVE FAITH in their doctors. She has had 3 surgeries since November and when I read your statement-I started thinking about when I worked with Quality management for almost 7 years and Yes, I did remember that sometimes when several things are done at once, that some of the subs procedures didnt get paid-and sometimes we would spend months and months appealing when that happened to get any subs procedures paid-and sometimes they never did get paid. Im sure if those A-holes would have said that medicare wouldnt cover 3 different things being fixed etc-she would have said-just fix it-and I will pay for that third thing. I think you hit it straight on, Jan-and I WILL BE talking to Mel about that this afternoon. I believe you are right! Well,I am going to respond to everyone else and get off here and try to get my back to loosen up-its hurting like crazy and I think thats just magnified since I dont feel too good right now. I am going to rest for a bit before I have to go to town and get Steph and do the counseling. Wish us luck-I really hope this will help her deal with her anxieties over her dad dying and all of that. **Deb M-I am not even going to think the "C" word. I dont even let those thoughts into my mind. I have been beating the devil down and away from you-as I know others have-we just will not allow him to have fun with you right now. IF we know anything about you-its that you have been through a lot-you ARE a fighter and ALL of us will be sending good thoughts and prayers your way. We arent going to give up or give in that easy. This board is full of awesome prayer warriors and I think thats why the devil keeps coming after all of us-because we are awesome in prayer and because we all show how much we care and love one another by getting on here and asking for everyones prayers.  Im very sorry about the situation with your daughter. I cant remember *****sponded to you, but it is scary to think about something bad happening to someone we love-and she just may not want to think the bad stuff. I know I dont. Yes, it IS easier to get angry-like I did with my mom.....I dont think it was right for her to expect YOU to tell Timothy-thats a moms job-I agree with you, but then if she is acting out right now, maybe its better to hear it from you-whatever you decide to tell him- Please keep good thoughts, please dont think the worst-we wont let you go without the biggest fight of your life!!!  WE love you and want you to be okay-Hang in there, girl-we are praying its nothing!!! OK?  All my love and prayers go out to you!

**Bev-I went off regular soda the day of my seminar. I used to drink a LOT of Coke-A LOT...after the seminar-I went to diet, but maybe one every 3 days or so-and after 2 weeks, gave it up to-I contribute about 10# of my initial weight loss to giving up the soda. Really. I gave up ALL sugar the same time. I had a head ache for about 3 days, but the scale moving sure made up for it. You can do it. The surgery itself is worth giving up the soda for. Its going to seem so easy after the first week, I promise you. I dont even miss it now, and didnt really then either. Good luck-and you can do it-just remember Jans saying-Keep your eyes on the Prize-and-Dr. H will be so happy IF you have already given it up when you go see him AND the scales should move within a week or two of quitting the soda-you will be amazed!

**Tammy-Ammy-So glad you made it home with your girls! Im glad it was a safe trip and we were praying for you. Im sorry that your daughter had to go through that crap! I am praying for you and your girls. Now they will have peace of mind-and I am sure that everything will be okay cause they are with mom and nana. Take care and email when you have time-after you get rested. Love ya.

**Brenda-Miss ya. Hope everything is going ok! Any news from Dennis's ins yet? have you called them to see if they have the paperwork and if they will be approving the insulin pump? You dont have to wait to get something in the mail-call and see if they have it-and if there is a hold up or something....Let us know.  Hope to see and meet you soon-Love you-and your in my thoughts and prayers-along with Dennis.

**Where are the MIAs? Sherr, Cindy from KC, Chelle, heck-we have so many-where does everyone go? There are so many I wish we knew how they were doing. I know people get busy..... I just wish that we knew how they were doing once in awhile.  Ok-well, I am off-gotta get my day going. Talk to you all soon. Love, Janet

Good morning OH family.  I am tired this morning don't know why I went to bed pretty early last night so there's no reason for me to feel like this?  I did just recently start back on my Metformin (diabetic meds) which I had stopped because it made me sick.  My sugars have been high and I haven't been feeling good after I eat so I thought I better start taking this medication even though I hate it.  The dr. says I have to take it that the side effects will go away after 2 weeks but when I tried it the first time they didn't go away after 2 weeks.  I'm doing it my way this time I am starting on a low dose and gradually increasing it.  It's better to do it that way and let me get used to it then not take it at all like I have been doing! I have Insulin Resistance (pre-diabetic) but my sugar levels per my dietician says i'm really considered a diabetic.  I know I need to go see my dr. but I can't right now because of financial issues.   Yesterday I got a lot of good receipes off this site and I made one last night called "Hawiian Pork Chops" I thought they were good and today I am making chicken taco's I have the chicken in the crockpot it too was a receipe that I got off this site. Jan;  I know what you mean about having to close then turn around and be back into work the next morning, I have been there and done that when I worked retail it's really hard on a person I don't know why they do that to people?  Hang in there until you get to start your new job and when will that be? Debbie; I will be praying for you that you don't have cancer and that it is something cureable and treatable.  It sounds like you have a lot of faith hang on today and embrace it and it will carry you through these trying times.  It's so great to hear too that your sisters are talking to one another again.  Life is too short to fight about things and hold grudges little petty things that keep people from talking to one another.  If people could just put aside their differences life would be so much easier and people would be happier.   Janet;  Sorry to hear about all the pain that your having, I too will be praying for some relief for you.  Being in pain is no fun and when it prevents you from doing things that you want to do that's really bad.  I hope you find some relief soon.  You talk about not having much family and how one of your friends is more like your family then your given family well family can be whoever you choose.  I have a best friend and she is like a sister to me and has been for over 20 yrs my whole family has adopted her so yes we can choose our family.  Thanks for the encouraging words about having to give up pop.  I am afraid of having that dreaded headache cause that isn't fun.  I love the taste of pop and I am so addicted to it, it's my drug of choice...lol  I know it will be better for me in the long run to give it up now and I am going to work on that, however I need some powerful prayers cause this is going to be hard for me... Well, guess I better get some work done.  Take care everyone and God Bless!

Well the verdict is in and I'm not giving up without a fight.  i talked with the surgeon's office and it is their opinion that there is a high risk of staph infection and that is why they turned me down.  I talked with the doctor that has covered all my infections and she said that I have as much of a risk of staph as she does, meaning anyone can get staph.  My previous problems are gone and have been for 2-1/2 years.  I've had three surgeries since the last staph inf and came through without a problem. So, I begin my search once again.  The nurses that have been assigned to me from the insurance company finally convinced me to fight.  United Healthcare has been behind me all the way and will do anything to help. There is a surgeon at KU Medical Center that I'm calling tomorrow so hopefully I can get in to see him soon.  I'm also checking out Sedalia and St. Louis.  I know many of your surgeons are at both places, so if you can give me any info I'd appreciate it. Have a great Friday, and I'll keep you posted as my journey continues. God Bless,

Trudy I new to OH. and just noticed your post. Have you contacted Saint Luke's Downtown/midtown.  They have a bariatric center that's about 4-5months old the Doctor is from the Louisana area. 

Good Luck and I pray that this is a reality for you.

Dear Trudy, I actually TRIED to post to your no surgery post on Sunday, but there was a problem with this site and I couldnt post anything, along with several others. I feel frustrated for you-and believe that your surgeons office is using this as a cop-out!! How stupid to tell ANYONE that is the reasoning-heck-they will have to close up shop-because ANYONE that goes into the hospital is at risk for a staph infection!!! Im so mad at those surgeons for putting you through all that-and you probably wouldnt want some lame A$$ doctors like that trying to take care of you anyway!

Anyway-its been on my heart to refer you to Missouri Bariatrics, where I know, for a fact, that they have performed surgery on many people in your exact situation-and they are so qualified and wonderful. I personally recommend Dr. Fearing-because, to this date, she is one of the most caring, compassionate and knowledgable surgeons/docs I have ever met. Im not sure how far you are from Columbia-but they do their seminars in several different areas-Columbia, of course, Jefferson City, Springfield and a few others-but I will include their phone number so you can give them a call-I truly believe they CAN AND WILL help you and they WILL answer ALL questions you may have at the seminar.  Good luck-and Let us know what you find out-we ARE ALL behind you 100% and your in my thoughts and prayers. The number for MO Bariatrics is 573-882-5673. Love, Janet
