Happy Thursday!

Hope everyone stays safe today. We are under an ice storm warning, so who knows what will be happening.  I have to work today, so I  just hope that I don't get iced in there!  It would just be my luck.   Have a great day all!  TTYL

Good morning everyone! We heard from our new doc yesterday and she is going to see Bill & I for our new patient visit today at 1. How terrific is that?!?! It is so great that I don't have to worry about his surgery time now.  Before that though....Gail had told me that she has a case of gauze that I am welcome to for my bandage changes. I have to do them twice a day...so that's lots of gauze and at $4 a box, a case would really help out. So...we're going to pick Gail up ~10 and the three of us go for a late breakfast/early lunch. We so enjoy visiting with Gail! Linda..I know you were going to go see Gail today. If you would like to come early, you are welcome to join us (which wouldn't be a bad idea since the ice/snow is suppose to hit Indy ~3 this afternoon). Just in case you miss us at Gail's, we're going to a restaurant that use to be a Sunshine Cafe on 31/East street and Troy. I don't know what the name of it now is. To get there, stay on 31/East Street heading north. The restaurant will be on your right side at the 1st light (SE corner) after the big bend in the road that bends to the left. I don't know how well you know the area but if you get to KMart, you went about a block or so too far. If anyone else would like to join us, you're also welcome. We won't be sticking around for a long time after we eat since we will heading off to the doctor appointment. YAY!!! I hope everyone has a really good day today! Sherri

Good morning all! I am not sure what kind of weather we are suppose to be getting.  I have heard a couple different versions, so I guess I will just have to wait and see. I dont have much going on.  Still waiting on the insurance adjuster to come look at my van.  He said it would probably be Friday or Monday.  Oh well, at least I have a rental car. Everyone have a great day and be safe.

tHURSDAY,  I had a very infomative time at Group last night. It was alot of everything. I am getting ready to pop in the video I bought from Nessa and ruthanne. It's a cooking dvd and other stuff. I bought it last night. I haven't weighed yet this morning. I need to but I am feeling alittle bloated still. I slept in late. I have my yearly Gyno appt at 1:30. Wanted to make sure I had that done and had that cleared for surgery. My pcp had mentioned maybe talking to the doc about doing my tubes at the same time. I would love to have them tied off. I am done with the kiddo's. Espe. if I am working my butt off to get healthy, I do not want any weight coming back. The insurace I had last time wouldn't do them after I had my daughter.(st Francis). Well I need to get movin'! Later SHanna

Morning all.  The sun is out now. Much better than what we had yesterday. We got about 8-9 inches of snow. That is better than what some of Porter County got. My family lives in Chesterton and they got almost a foot of snow. I think we are suppose to get more snow sometime today but we will deal with that if or when we get there. You can only deal with so much snow at one time.   It seems like we shovel a lot of Lake Michigan around here!!! I am going to the grocery store today!!!! I wanted Bill to go with me so he said we will go this morning. Just think my cupboards aren't going to be like Mother Hubbard's anymore!!  I am planning on going to the Y this afternoon. I don't like going there in the afternoon but I don't have much choice today. I am going to do a bit more everyday for the rest of the week to make up for not going yesterday. That way I will still have my week end with my little Lovebug.  The urologist called me last night with the ultrasound results. He thought that I had not passed the stone because of what he saw in the KUB. He said that it could be that or it could be calcium in the blood vessels. He told me last night that the ultrasound was clear and I passed it so now I can call this one company and they will deliver the stuff for the 24 hour collection and then I will be able to start the medicine to help stop the stones from forming so fast. I am soooo happy. I never thought that I would be this happy to collect a days worth of urine in my life. If anyone had told me that I would I would have told them they were nuts.   I  better get going. I have to start to get ready to go shopping. I hope that everyone has a happy day today and stays safe and warm wherever life takes you today.   

ugh today sucks. no school. barking dogs. ugh

Linda, It was very nice meeting you today too..but I  look half the age in person as I do in my avatar?? LOL! You said that pic makes me look 50...I really think saying I look 25 in person would be definately pushing it! Hahaha!!! How about we say that I look a young 40-something? LOL! Hey..our doc appointment went terrific! I feel like we FINALLY found a family doctor that we both can relate to. Sherri

Sherri, I personally would take the 25 and run with it. I would run so fast that people would be saying what was that that just blew by like the wind!   But then I am older than you are so those compliments like that don't come to much anymore! I am glad that you and Bill found a doctor that you like. Believe me that is more than half the battle.  

today has gone from a mediocre day to a good day to a terrible and very sad day. i'm finally back up and running/thinking again after a bout with the flu, but i'm still having trouble sleeping. for some reason, i just can't fall asleep. anyway, with 2 hours of sleep, i get up on time and make it to st. v's early! i actually woke up, showered, and made it to somewhere in indy (1.25 hours usually) early. that's pretty much unheard of from me. i roll through my day of pre-op tests with no problem (barium is ick!) as well as moving my dr. nonweiler appt up by over 2 hours. woohoo! i almost but not quite beat the snow back to lafayette. i get a fantastic new haircut, color, and eyebrow wax. day's going great, right? yeah, my dad called 2 hours ago to tell me to come home tomorrow to say goodbye to my grandmother. i spent every weekend with her and grandpa growing up. i love this woman to pieces. i keep telling myself that she's had a wonderful and very happy 90 years. it's her turn leave us. i know this, but knowing it and liking it are two different things. :(
