WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY

Well it is Wednesday night and almost midnight. Guess I better get this going so everyone will have someplace to post.

It was a busy night on the unit tonight, I had a new admission and there is so much to do , writing wise when you have a new admit. But I did it all myself so I could remember all of it.

Not much else new , didn’t do anything here at the house before I went to work, Didn’t get up till almost 9am so that is why I guess but the time I got awake I didn’t have a lot of time left

 

 

NUTTI:  you aren’t the only one that doesn’t like real plain water anymore. I can drink it but can drink so much more of it tht is flavored with crystal lite.

So what did you weight? We are dying to know.

 

Yes I agree the paycheck is the nice part of a job.

 

 

TAMMY V: I would say that there isnt anything else for your to complete or Dana would answer you about your emails and such. Did you see how soon Sheila is going to get her surgery and maybe you will be the same. Wont that be nice

 

 

MELISSA: wow so good to see you in place here today. .

          Im glad tht you are feeling well enough to help get the trash off and out of the houser

I hope you really get all well and get that all taken off, You will really look good .

 

 

BEV:.really really good that you have  found someone to exercise with.

Will help to keep each of you to  have someone that needs to lose too.

 

SHANNON  C:  sure hope you get to come to the reunion. We all will love to meet you.

And congradulations on getting into the 2xs

 

 

BEVERLY  B: wonderful and great about your surgery soon. We will have a lot of you having surgery soon. That will be great , . sorry you back is hurting more again. it may very well be that your doing more and so it doenst  do as well.

 

 

SHEILA congradulations. Lol wont be long now till you get to start on this great journey.

 

 

RIANNE: Yep studying for nursing school is hard. I remember those days  go to school for 8 hours and then come home and study for another 5 to 8 hours .

Keep up the good work both in school and in weight loss. You will be so tiny before long that you will wonder what in the world happened .lol

 

 

 

I want to apologize for this being so screwy tonight. I keep falling over asleep doing this and so I am going to get this on before I do more damage than I have done.

Love all of you and will do a better job after tomorrow night I think.

Where was Janet today?????

 

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

JAN

Good Morning, Jan and MO Peeps! Wow, I can't believe I'm the first one to post this morning!  Back in the day my eyes weren't open this time of day.  lol Jan, thanks for posting the daily What's Happening.  I don't often post, however, I always read them. Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson.  I had been praying for all of you.  Praise the Lord you will see baby Adam someday and will get to spend eternity with him.  God is ALWAYS good even when we don't understand... Looks like everyone else is doing pretty good.  I'm glad to hear it.  I'm doing good.  I have lost 92 lbs and have 18 lbs to go before I reach my original goal of 170.  Now I'm thinking about trying to reach 160.  Will see what happens. As most of you know our dog Ginger died a few weeks ago.  It was and still is hard on us.  However, we do a new addition to the family.  Her name is Roxie and she is a toy poodle who is black and silver.  Will probably be all silver when she grows up.  She is approximately 3 months old.  We've had her about 5 weeks.  Just haven't had time to post.  Will try and put some pictures of her and her big Sister, Precious up on my profile.  It took Precious TWO weeks before she would have anything to do with her.  Now they romp and play together.  Except for in the mornings because Precious is NOT a morning dog!  lol I met Bev at the YMCA on Wednesday for Aqua Aerobics.  We are planning on going every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.  She has her first apt with Dr. H in October.  My first apt with Dr. H was last October.  Wow, has it been almost a year!? I have some disappointing news (at least for me).  I won't be able to attend the reunion after all.  Last week our freezer went out and on the way home the tranmission went out on our van!  PTL we got home!  Just had the van repaired yesterday and it was almost $1700!!  Needless to say, we can't afford for me to come to Branson.  (My oldest son just came in and told me his boxsprings are broke and his back is killing him.)  If it's not one thing it's another! Well, I've got to go.  Have to finish a couple loads of laundry and do some grocery shopping today.  My grandson is spending the weekend with us and I have to get him some special treats.  He LOVES string cheese!!  I think we may go to the zoo on Saturday. Hope everyone has a Happy and SAFE Labor Day weekend. Take Care, Debbie D.

Good Morning Jan and OH Peeps~ I sure missed you guys yesterday....Actually-I havent been that sick in many, many years. I ended up getting that stomach bug that Mike got-which we thought was from bad chicken-but guess not. His boss and his boss's wife both had it. Mike had been sick since late Saturday evening.....well-they sent him home from work yesterday at 8:30, so we were both on a couch sicker than sick. I had the worst stomach cramps you could imagine-dont know if its because my tummy is so different than others-but I was ready to go to the hospital, it hurt so badly-and I couldnt even sip anything without feeling like I was being stabbed-and it even hurt to wear my bra! So I think between the bug I had and my ulcers acting up-I just felt like I was gonna die. Thank God Jon was good yesterday.....not sure what we would have done had he been a handful-LOL....I started feeling badly Tues afternoon-and I woke up this morning feeling much much better. Not 100% yet-but much better than the past 2 days at least. I wouldnt have even gotten on here yesterday-but when Rebeccas hubby, Tim called-I did call Mel to see if I could get her to post and they were laying down so I figured Mel wasnt feeling good-so I got on to post about her delay in her surgery. Of course, was having issues posting AGAIN....and when I got back in here after Tim called to say her surgery was over-the first post never went through. Im so thankful everything went ok. They had an emergency with the person that had WLS before her-so hers was delayed, and of course, that brings on added stress! Poor thing!! Please keep praying our girl has an uneventful and speedy recovery. They are such wonderful people, I really wish they would be able to come to the reunion! Although its not a good way to lose weight (being sick) this week alone already, I have lost 8#, I cant believe it! This is the first time I have been under 250# in a LONG TIME....I only have 11# to go and I have hit the 200# GONE FOREVER!! I am soooo excited about the weekly weigh in tomorrow!!! **Jan-I hope you like the job. Is your g-gson feeling better? Did you guys ever figure out what was wrong with him? I hope it was just teething. **Colette-I tried to email you back from my OH-and it didnt ever go through, I dont think anyway....Im sorry. I didnt want anyone to think Im ignoring them, my OH email isnt letting me open 1/2 of the emails and I havent been able to respond to a lot of them either. I will email Jan later and see if she can send you an email or give you my direct email.....Your in my prayers and thanks for the words of encouragement about my daughter.

**Deb M-I am so sorry about baby Adam. I am lifting you all in prayer. There is nothing we can say to make this any easier. Please know that we love you all and we will continue to pray for all of you.  **Deb D- Aw, Im so sorry you will not be able to make it to the reunion!! That stinks! We are gonna miss you, thats for sure. **Julia- Will you still be coming to the reunion since Deb isnt going to be coming? I think Jan and Joe still have a room open-so you could always bunk with them.....I think..I hope you can still make it.

**Bev B-Im so happy for you~~ I had all those tests you spoke of-and then some. It will all be over before you know it-and let me tell you-on the sleep study-mine was booked out like 6 weeks, and I called and asked them to put me on the cancellation list-and I was in there in 2 days. They actually called me the next day-but I had drank caffeine past noon, and so it was a no-go....So-if you do that-they WILL have a cancellation a lot faster than the regular appt-Susan did the same thing and got in the week they put her on the cancellation list-so do that IF you want to get it over with faster. It really saves a lot of time-and then IF they find you to have sleep apnea-they will get in you ASAP for the CPAP machine. I didnt use mine but once or twice-thats it. Then I had surgery and didnt/dont need it anymore. So-it will all work out. Good luck-and IF you have any questions-let me know-I did everything I could in my own town/hospitals too-so I wouldnt have to make all those trips to Columbia. I bet that is why your back hurts so much! I will keep you in my prayers! **Sheila-AWESOME news! Congrats!!! Im so excited for you and I am so happy you will be coming to the reunion, even if its just for the day! Cant wait to see ya. **Tammy V-I think that sounds like a plan-send the hubby to his reunion and you and your mom come to see us-not only will you have positive reinforcement, you will have encouragement, lots of love and hugs-and people who understand-we would LOVE IT. I hope you consider it!! **Tammy Ammy-Where are you and what did you find out when you went to the PCP? Let us know. I am praying for you. **Lana-Did you have a good b-day? I sure hope so. I wanted to call you and sing happy birthday, but girl-I felt like I was on my death bed. Im sorry. Yesterday was also my SIL, Aarons b-day-will have to get together with them this weekend, hopefully. I hope you had a wonderful day. I love you!!

**Nutti-sorry I missed your call. I am waiting to call you back  this morning so I dont call too early. The name of the med I was on was Cypro. It really helped and fast. It also comes in liquid form. Let us know what the scale says-and the first time I could get weighed at my PCP office-I actually had a tear!!! Good luck. **Sus-Congrats on your good news. Im so happy for you  and I will call you later on today-if your neice is at DePaul-Im gonna see if you will check on my angelette, Rebecca while your there. She would be so surprised that I sent you to give her a hug from me. Love ya. **Mel-well, MAYBE, just MAYBE we will be able to chat today-so far, so good. At least I feel human today. Thats a good thing. Darrel keeps asking if you still want his help-I think he is excited about having a little $$ to spend in Branson...Let me know. Love you. I want to THANK YOU all so much about the prayers for Stephanie. I love you all and appreciate you more than you will ever know! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I cant believe the reunion is right around the corner. I have so much left to do! I cant afford to be sick anymore or have anyone else in the house get sick either. Too much to do. We didnt make it counseling yesterday-there is no way I could have driven, and there was no way that anyone could have made it out here and to the counseling office in time to get Steph there in time-so next Weds is it. I felt bad-but I knew I just couldnt do it. Thank God Mike still had his wits about him, because he picked Steph up from work Tues and then drove her and picked her up yesterday-and I slept through all of it. Thank God I am feeling better today...have a big list to do today, so I better get started. As always, your in my thoughts and prayers! Janet

Good morning OH family!  I am so tired today I think it's a carry over from yesterday?  I went to water aerobics with Debbie and boy was I sore and tired several hours after that but it was great can't wait to go again tomorrow!   I will be getting plenty of exercise Sat. I am taking my 12 yr old sister to Santa Caligon days in Independence we go every year it's really fun.  I like shopping in the craft tents however this year I will have to stay away from all the fattening food venders.  The smell of all the good food is going to get to me I'm sure, I will have to practice my will power!  LOL... Instead of buying food I will focus on buying crafs!   I go see my dietician tomorrow afternoon and I never look forward to that.  I hope I have lost even if it's just a few pounds.  I have been keeping up with writing everything I eat down and my blood sugars but it doesn't feel like I have lost anything I guess the moment of truth will be tomorrow? I stopped at McDonalds this morning on my way into work and I got a fruit and yougrt parfait and when I got to work and started eating it I found a pointed piece of plastic of some sort in it.  I actually started to eat it and I felt something hard in my mouth luckily I didn't swallow it that wouldn't have been good it was about an inch and pointed it looks like it broke off of something?  I should call the manager of that McDonalds and tell them about it? I am so glad this is my Friday and my long weekend begins after I get off from work at 3pm today.  The best part about it is that it's payday too that's always fun especially if your entire check doesn't have to go towards bills!!!!!!  I am going to go to my favorite book store this weekend and get some more wonderful cookbooks because they are having a 20% off sale so that'll be fun.   Jan; It sounds like your new job is keeping you busy are you working full time or part time?  Hopefully you don't have to work this Mon. since it's a holiday?  I know I don't like having to work on holidays.   Well, I have to get some work done I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday. 

Hello Missouri,  Have zero time right now but wanted to say HI and that I love you all. Hugs, Lana

This has become a daily habit of checking the Missouri Board ~ I love it. I had an awful experience about 30 minutes after lunch - and if that was the dumping then I never want that again.  Thought I was going to have to be picked up off the floor in the bathroom... Take care everyone!

Good evening Mo Board Its been a lazy day today. But then with my knees hurting so bad I can hardly move its always lazy days. I can't wait until I can begin to live again. I know when I get some weight off and the pressure off my back and legs I will be alot better. My back is feeling better today. Funny how one day it is real bad and the next it feels pretty good. I have my psych eval on Sept 12..with Dr Kitto here in Sedalia. He charges $180.00. The one that they recommended in Columbia was $215.00. Has anyone used him? What can I expect from this visit? It is so good to be able to come here for info. Makes it not as scary.. Janet I have had the chemical stress test before and I can tell you I am not looking forward to it but will do it to be able to have a better life. I have never had a sleep study or pulmonary function test before so don't know what to expect from that. I hope I can sleep on another bed. I have a waterbed and just can't sleep on any other bed. I know they say waterbeds are not good for bad backs but I have had a waterbed for 20 yrs...and I love it.  I sold my old one once but a month later bought another one because I couldn't sleep on a regular bed. Maybe they can give me something to help me sleep. Don't know if they do that or not..I am having all my test done at Bothwell here in Sedalia. That will save on alot of driving.  Well not much to say today so will get off here. Hope everyone has a great day...
