Good Wednesday Morning!

Hi all, I hope that today is being good to each and every one of you. So far so good for me today. We didn't get the freezing rain and snow they called for last night. So far there isn't anything but my cousin just called me and told that they are now saying that we are going to get 8-10 inches starting today. I guess it is going to fall at about an inch an hour. I hope that they are all wrong.  I have to go to the urologist this afternoon. That is one of the reasons that I hope that we don't get snow. I had to cancel last weeks appointment because of the snow storm we were getting. I know that if I cancel today it is going to be at least 2 weeks before I can get another one. I just want to get this done and over with and go on to bigger and better things in my life. I guess they had some bad tornados in Tennessee during the night. Bill's brother lives down there so he is going to call him and see if everyone is alright.  LaChelle, I hope that you are feeling better. I know that the bugs are really going around here too. If it keeps up though be sure to let the doctor know since it could be worse on you if you don't.  I better get going. Bill is leaving now to go get gas. He goes through so much of that with going all the way to East Chicago to work. This work car is better on gas though than the last one he had. I guess you just have to do what you have to do. lol I hope that you have a good day, all and stay safe and warm.    TaTa for now.

Hello Everyone!

I am still giddy about my verbal approval. I still can't believe it.  I am going to clean my house today. Then study for my class tonight.  Its going to be a laid back day.   Robin

Good Wednesday morning, I have had a busy morning. I went to the chiropractor this morning. AAHH relief. I was diagnosed with...Facet syndrome. In a nutshell. I have arthrits in my L5 lower back area which caused massive pain and my Psychotic nerve to pinch and make me cry. Thats my pet name for my siatic (sp) nerve.I have about and 1 inch difference in my right leg than my left leg so i am putting all my weight pretty much on my right side and my joints are trying to degenerate and have arthrits. (i already knew that just put it on the back burner ya know.) This will def. help getting approval though, I hope. Less weight means alot less pain! I work at 3:00,I have the furnace guy here today, cause my furnace doesn't want to come on. SO we are having it cleaned. $100.00 later. I hope that is all it is. Congrats to Robin on your approval.How exciting. I am going to miss the Clarian bariatric support group tonite cause I have to work, aarggh! I am having no luck getting to them. Last week it was the "snow storm" that never came and now work. I have to get to them!

Ditto Shanna! I have had 2 back surgeries..L5 , both times ruptured disc...blew out on one side and then the other side in 10 months...did help the pain for awhile...but the heavier I got the worse it got..now I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the back but I am afraid to go to a chiropractor..been there done that before the 2nd surgery...anyway...just to let you know...my back is WAY better now since surgery...I have lost 82 pounds and I am walking and standing lots longer than I use to could. Now I just have to work on the knees...got osteoarthritis in both of them too..along with bone spurs above and under the knee cap on both knees....need the left knee replaced, probably the right one too! Hang in there! huggggggggggs Janene

Shanna, I know just what you are talking about. I have really bad back problems too. I have a degenerative disc disease, arthritis, spurs, sciatica, severe muscle spasams, and 2 herniated discs. Since I have lost weight my back is feeling so much better. It really gets better. It got to the point before surgery that I couldn't go to the grocery without using one of their carts. Now I just breeze through and get done what I need to. I am sooooo pleased with how I am feeling overall that it is hard to put it in words. I feel like I am getting a normal life now. One like I was meant to have.

Hello Everyone, No big plans here. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow,it sounds so fun. I sending "Healthy Wishes" to those who are under the weather. I still trying to fix my siggy, I somehow delated some carebears, I do still need to change my picture. I not sure if I look better or worse. Love Ya All. Hugs & Blessings, Gail

I just wanted to say Hi.. I just got home from the docs and I'm feeling plum awful.
