Happy Thursday!

Good Morning All!  Hope your day goes well! It is an exciting time for us all, and we must remember to keep focused on the day ahead!  We had a blast last night in the chat room!  We are going to have to do that real soon.  I know that we have talked about next week!  I look forward to that! It is time for me to get ready for work, so have a wonderful day, and keep your eyes on the goal! It is only a matter of time!

Hi Everyone, Happy Thursday! I was dog-tired yesterday most of the day. I am hoping today will be better. I'm not sure why I was so tired yesterday, but I made sure to get more sleep last night. I think I started out the day bad. I decided to try some of the 75% less sugar Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal. Bad choice. I got sick from it. Felt flushed and sweaty and sick to my stomach. I guess there was still too much sugar in it for me. Now my husband, who has hypoglycemia, can eat it just fine, so I thought I'd be okay, but I was WRONG! Oh well, live and learn. Besides, it wasn't a good protein choice. So today I started out the day with some of the old stand by --- fat-free cottage cheese. I'll bet I'll feel better today. 

Yippee!  From Thursday I can see the weekend.  A long holiday weekend!  We are planning on going to the outlet mall on Saturday and have company coming on Monday.  I have to work late tonight but that will buy me an afternoon off next week. Today's WOW moment.   I am wearing Leggs pantyhose size "B".   No more queen size pantyhose! Y'all have a great day!

Hi Everyone,

 I am starting to feel alittle better( coughing more- the inhaler must be working) and BOY, DO I HAVE ENERGY FROM THE PREDNIZONE- CLEANED 2 ROOMS YESTURDAY! I took it slow & it took all day.My daughter was on  me several times~" if you don't stop, you won't be able to go to the IRP races with us Sunday". I do plan to go~ but not "race walk" around like my SIL likes to!!!! He wears me out-all 6' of him & walks almost in a run compared to me!! I even plan to take my lawnchair & sit in the shade if need be- I just don't do well out in the sunshine for 10 hrs!I burn instead of tan, & after 6 pre-cancer removals last yr. I'm being extra careful. Plus, I don't want to over do it & end up in the hospital- like the Dr. threatened to do. I see him again on Wed. & don't want a "scolding"!  I am taking my little grandson Hunter (7) to the Drs. at 3 pm. with Amy. Seems the school thinks he needs meds. for ADHD.I don't doubt it- he has all the classic symptoms. Then tomorrow, I take Amy to St.V's Womans Hospital for another ultrasound- she has been having pre-labor pains for the last month, so they are keeping close check on her/them. Keep them both in your thoughts,please. Boy howdy, did it rain here last night- it blew over our lawn furniture ,umbrella & plants- what a mess, but I'm grateful for it- our yard is so dry it looks like a desert! To all of the Newbies-new Pre-Opts & Post Ops- congrats on making the BEST decision of your life! I pray it will be smooth sailing for you! You know I/we are here for you!! Linda- hope you hear something soon about your house deal- you know I'm rooting for you! Annette- WOW~ isn't it great to wear a normal size!!! I am so proud & happy for you!! Just think, we have a LONG weekend ahead- woo~hoo!! Hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable one!  Ours will be full of family & grandkids-!! We are having a "WELCOME BACK" party for Penny & Mike on Sat. Jax said-"Grammy, can we have a dinner together, to make Mommy & Daddy feel welcome back?" Oh WOW, OUT OF A LITTLE 7 YR. OLD !! He is such a comapssionate, sweet boy! Well, gotta get on with the day- hope it is a good one for you all! ((((BIG HUGS))) Ellen

I'm glad you're feeling better.  Use lots of sunblock this weekend.  Prednizone (steroids) will make you ultra sensitive to the sun.  Be careful and have a good time.

Afternoon, Good Day All, I got some exciting news today at my doc appt. I'm 1 cm dilated and they said though my cervic is still a lil "tough" they are pretty sure it's at 50%. They said they wouldn't be surprised if I went sometime between now and the next few weeks. If I haven't had Quinntin by the 18th then we are inducing on the 20th. I've been really physically uncomfortable lately with the weather really agravating my RSD. Next week is a visit with the Oncologist Dr Sutton at St V's for an check up on my cervical cancer and to get the okay to delivery vaginally. I'm excited but nervously scared at the same time that the time is finally here. Anyways - back to my bed rest. Just thought I'd drop an update on myself. Jodi
