WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY

 

 

You know today has been a pretty boreing day. I didn’t do not one single thing in the yard today. I had to be at work at 12, noon so I had to leave the house at 10:30 And work was so so slow. I hate it when it is like that. So my day was about as boring as you can get.

Joe went over to see my daughter ,Michele and took her some things and then went by his nieces and saw her and her kids. I wish I could have gone with him. He had a lot more fun than I did.

 

 

CRAIG: no Renee went to Atlanta on Saturday since she had to start the bowel cleanse on Sat. for some reason and continue on into Sunday.

They have a boarding house next to the hospital that rents rooms to patients and or their family members for 5.00 a night so she went ahead and went down, so she would be down there to do it and not have to worry about it.

 

Sorry your back is hurting so badly. Mine is too but I think I have overdone some work around the house. Mine feels like my back just cant hold me up.

Remember to pray for Renee tomorrow around 7am .

 

 

BEVERLY . B: Sounds like you had a great reunion. With everyone there. Just wait till you lose some weight you will enjoy things like that so much more.

 

Dena wont lose your paper work or never has of anyones that I know of and since you are Medicare. She called my doctor and got the referral from her , the only think that I had to do on my own was the physc test. Of course now they are requiring the 6 months worth of  doctors supervised diet and exercising thing too. So I would go ahead and get the paper work in. do you have a consult date already or I guess you have to give the six moneths worth of D&E before that happens or what? She will call you with a consult date when she has the paper work im sure.

 

So have you started with the not smoking yet? Good luck and I know you can do it.

 

Yeah so many of my iris didn’t bloom at all this year. The old fashioned ones did but none of my hybrids.

My clematis did bloom but not as well as they should have neither have the roses. But a lot of things are blooming now they are just late.

 

SHEILA: I flavor my vanilla shakes with frozen strawberries blended in the blender and 6 oz off van. Flavored soy milk. Then add about 6 oz of strawberry flavored water and a spoonful of splenda, it is like a smoothie then I add a scoopful of protein powder and spin just enough to mix it up otherwise it gets really foamy and I don’t like that.

 

Don’t worry about those that are negative about the surgery. I don’t know why people feel like it is their responsiblility to tell you all the bad stuff when most of us at least already know the bad stuff and what can happen. But none of them knows how it feels daily to be the fat one in the bunch and all .

 

Be sure and get your workouts documented from some place because your word alone isnt good enough anymore ok? Your local doctor , weigh****chers or where ever but some where. Ok?

 

 

RIANNE : Seven more days wow that diet will go fast now. We will all be praying for you . God will be with you for sure.

 

 

LANA: hello pretty lady. I have decided I think that I want to have a lower body lift , a arm lift and a face lift. Really I guess they can just go on top of my head and slit the skin and pull it all up and cut off all this excess. Lol   Now I just need to find some sort of rich man or win the lottery to do all of this. Lol

 

Your meal with the chicken sounded good.Except when I went to eat it I know there would be a small tiny bit of it eaten by me.

That is what Joe calls me , His cheap date.

 

 

JANET:  I am so glad your sweet daughter had a beautiful day for yesterday. We will be waiting for the pictures to be posted.

 

So sorry to hear about your mom.Will continue to pray for her

 

Seems like that big boat is really making its own way isnt it and its own set of rules.

Could be worse, could not have anything at all. don’t mean that badly just life. One day soon you will have something different. Hang in there.

 

CHELLE: well not much longer now is it? One weed today. Yeah….wow.

Wow you are having some great weight loses. Way to go.

 

 

LINDA: thanks for posting and welcome to my daily thread.

Don’t you just love Dr. Hornbostel? That is who did my surgery too.

Tell us more about you. And let us get to know you better.

Any questions you have let us know and im sure there will be someone on here that will know the answer.

You have started on a long journey to better health. Now is the time to get rid of all the unhealthy things in your life to start making you trip. Giving up sodas, cigs, sweets,and anything white.

Again welcome to the board and have fun with all that is going to be going on in your life soon.

 

I wanted to thank all of you for telling me you would pray for my friend. I know with the prayers of all of you  on her side the devil will have to run.

 

LOVE AN JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

JAN

Hello Jan and OH Peeps~ Yesterday was so hectic-geez-thought once the wedding was over with, there may be a day to relax-not so!! At least not so soon~It was Mikes last day off of his 11 days-and I had a lot of laundry to catch up on and some household odds and ends. I didnt feel like doing much of anything-just wanted to sit in the chair with heat and ice. Jon spent a lot of the day freaking out when Mike told him he had to go back to work today-and Jon kept insisting that Mike doesnt have to work anymore (wouldnt that be the ideal world?) So-Im not looking forward to today and how emotional my little man is going to be. I have decided we are doing a field trip today-to help keep his mind off of his daddy being gone-and I am going to take him out of here for a couple of hours today-and MAYBE do a picnic-if its not too hot-which it may be- Its been hard on him this week-cause he wants to swim all day long-but he gets burned so easily and even when he is in the pool with the best sunscreen on-his little face turns beat red and he gets overheated. So-we havent been going in the pool until evening since there is no shade out there! I have to get up to the hospital today-they are doing a lot of tests on my mom. They are doing her colonoscopy and then they are re-doing some ultrasounds she had done on Friday night-they have another test they are doing today-but didnt understand what she was saying it was and my dad didnt catch thame of the test-just that it had something to do with renal-Im like-thats alot of help, dad!! I went up yesterday, but she never did wake up while I was there-so I left a little note on her bed by her hand-which was holding her cell phone, I hope she got it-just put a smiley face on it-saying I love you-call me when you get up.

Im going to be helping my dad out for the next couple of weeks to earn some extra money for school clothes and our trip to Branson in Sept.  We are staying for 4 days and so I want to have some money to shop at the outlet malls and spend one day with the kids doing fun kid stuff...maybe Celebration City or something like that-so need to make sure I have the funds to do that. I am also starting my college fund for Megan in Sept-in which I am giving her $100 a month for food or supplies-whatever she needs-so every 2 weeks I will be putting $50 into a fund for her. IF her dad ever starts paying child support again, I am going to divide that up between the girls too-with keeping just a bit for misc things-like Stephs school necessities, like the yearbook and such. I wont hold my breath for that though.

I didnt even get to talk to Mel yesterday-so she must be feeling awful-we have only missed ONE day of talking since we met-and that day we just missed each other and left messages-I kept waiting for her to call me so I wouldnt call her and wake her up-and 2 different times I went to call her, something came up and thought I would do it later-then it got too late-so I hope she is ok. She has an appt today, I believe, for them to try and get those staples out of her-but I hope she is feeling better soon-Im not too sure at this point-that it was wise for them to let her out so early-and she never gets to just sit at home and relax since she has to go to Joplin every single day for the IV Therapy and so the trip each day for several hours is just wearing her out, Im sure. ~~Please keep my mom and Mel in your prayers~~I sure appreciate it so much and they both still need it so much. I hope they will find out whats wrong with my mom and that this will come to an end for her-she has been so sick for so long and I am having a hard time seeing her suffer the way she has. It just breaks my heart not to be able to help do anything to bring relief to her, or make either of them better. I am glad to see so many new people on the board-I havent had much time in the past 2 weeks to get to know any of the new ones unless they are posting on the Whats Happening thread-but maybe this week, things will start to settle down and I can get in and read some and get to know some of them-LOVE to see them posting, just wish I had the time to get to know them a little better!! WE HAVE A SURGERY TODAY-Please remember Renee in your prayers as she embarks on her re-birth today and joins us on the bench. Jan-I hope you will post about her as soon as you hear something-I have been praying for her. **Denise L-HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!  I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!!  **Chelle-CONGRATS on the 20#-thats SOMETHING!!! I am so happy for you!! Way to go-you are one tough cookie, and I am so proud of you and your accomplishments-its gonna be coming off faster than you know-and pretty soon you will be saying one-lander!! WOO HOO....I am doing my famous baby circle dance for you. Oh-and bring a pair of your own socks-the socks they gave me up there were unisex and they were non skid type-but wouldnt stay on right-and I remember that irritating the crap out of me, really!! I know it sounds silly-but the things I remember you have on the list-a pillow, gas x strips, chapstick and then socks- I brought a couple of magazines and a crossword puzzle book-but only touched one book once-for a couple minutes-so....I think you have all the important stuff. I just stayed in their gown so I wouldnt ruin my own-Good luck, sweety-Love ya! **Rianne-just a couple more days-Im so excited for you and Chelle-take care honey and stay calm-the worst is almost over with!! Love ya. **Linda-WELCOME....WE love to see newbies post on the Whats Happening thread and even if you dont have much time during the week-we look forward to getting to know you-maybe next weekend when you post-you can tell us a little about yourself. Anyway-welcome and come back often!!

**Jan-I think Bev is going to MO Bariatrics where I went. Thats why I told her to send everything in at once. That way nothing will be slowed down! The girls at the front desk there arent the easiest to deal with-and I dont want her paperwork to get lost while they are waiting for the dr note-they will NOT turn it in IF anything is missing-for instance-Sherr sent in the copy of her ins card and they said that they couldnt read it well enough-and she had to fax it several times in a couple of days and they would not even turn it over to the girl that puts all the info in the system until the file was complete and all the required documents were there.

Sorry you had a slow and boring day....Wish I could have come down to see ya~at least those days dont happen too often, right?

We should be able to pick up some pictures today-I am so excited-and then Heather, Megans friend who took about 100 pics-is putting them all on a disc for Megan and I. Im excited about that-because when my mom gets out of the hospital-we are going to make a wedding scrapbook for Megan and Aaron-but it wont be done until sometime next month because we are also going to have pics of the reception, which will be out here on July 28th, so we have a lot more to come....I hope everything falls into place for that-and that the water main is fixed by then and everyone gets a chance to come out and help with the mowing and weed eating-since Mike cant do the weed eating any more-and I cant use the rider since it jars my back too much-so Megan and Aaron are going to do a lot of that work-and I am in charge of the porch area-which on the end has a carport/patio area-and thats where we will have dancing etc-and then we are getting a huge tent for eating/shade. Am going to get some rope lights together and the rest of the tiki torches fixed (new inserts etc) put up and around-we have 10 right now-figured another 10 or so and we will have the whole area lit up. I am not wishing my life away-but I wish July was over with already!! August, I hope-will be better....I am praying for everyone to be healthy and no hospital visits etc-and all I should have to worry about in Aug is Mikes b-day and the kids starting back to school-including Megans move up there.  Maybe I should shoot for October-huh? **Lana-I am so happy for you that you are so close to your goal-How exciting. I think you look beautiful JUST the way you are-but I totally understand about the plastics-because I too-want my arms and tummy done-but I want my boobs done too. I said from the beginning that I just wanted my tummy done-and that I would do my boobs and as my reward for all I had gone through-and NO-not enlarged (dont need that!!) but, I wanted to have them lifted-but from what Dr. Price said-may need an implant...they remind me of wrinkly pancakes now!! Then 1/2 of my arm is fat and when I wave or move my arms-it flaps so bad that it quits jiggling 1/2 hr after I wave!! It sure makes me feel self conscience!! So-good luck to you-and I know that you are only going to be happier when your all done-Im so proud of you and your accomplishments and love ya!! Sorry we wont be meeting your sweety at the reunion...maybe he could come for just the day and bring his son? You know-the son is welcome too!!

**Tammy and Susan-are you guys around? How are you? Please post and let everyone know how you are!! **Has anyone heard from Deb, Connie, Brenda, Sherr, Denise and our other posters who have disappeared? Erin?

Well, I am going to get going-I have a long list of calls for today, along with checking on my mom, Mel and Nutti. I will be on here periodically to check on news of Renee-and I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful Monday. All my love and prayers-Janet

Hello everyone, Sorry I was gone for so long.  I just wanted to let everyone know that I am okay.   It has been a really rough road for me.   I am doing much better now, (knock on wood)!!  The other day I talked to Janet and told her that I was doing pretty good and hadn't dumped yet and she said that was great!!  Well, I shouldnt have said that because the next morning I tried oatmeal and oh my gosh!!!  Lets just say I wont be eating oatmeal for about a million years, lol!  Yea, I can laugh about it now but at the time... it was far from funny!  It took about 4hours before I started feeling better and my stomach hurt me until the next day.   Thank you to everyone who has been worried about me and calling and emailing.  I feel so lucky to have made so many friends on this website.  I know it is hard to belive but I havent been here reading or posting since the 15th of last month.  I hope I never have to be gone so long again, I feel like a stranger having no idea who all these new people are, lol!  Okay, here is the big news, I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 31LBS IN 20DAYS, (since day of surgery) I will see you all tomorrow.  Love Susan Janet, please call me if at all poss. tonight.   I know alots going on but I lost Mels number and have been so worried about her.  I left 2 or 3 mess. for you on your machine, but I figured with the Wedding and all you would call me when you could take a breath.

Howdy Everyone.... Wow what a nice weekend we had down her in the bootheel.....We finally got some well needed work done on our yard this weekend....And I finally got my carport cleaned off so I could park my car under it again...I was really glad for that cause I was parking infront of the carport and the darn birds were poo pooing on my car!!!!!

But if all goes well I will be the one taking him out there and I get to bring my lil princess back with me for 2-3 weeks!!! I am so excited about that !!!! She calls me daily sometimes a million times lol lol....She has to tell me every lil thing going on....yesterday she called to tell me she was at Burger King and had to tell me what she was having and that her momma was there and her daddy too lol lol....Then said ok Nannie I eat now bye and hung up lol lol.....She does that all during the day....I been teasing my daughter I might not bring her back lol lol I miss her sooo much!!!

Im still working on picking back up on my protien shakes but Im getting plenty of liquids in again so that has helped alot....And of course with out the protein Im going slow on the weight but I did loose 5 more pounds this week....I am now 13# from beeing 100 down....I had hoped to hit the 100 mark before my appt with DR.Scott Thursday but I don't think that will happen....Im still only able to eat about 4-6 bites or so when I eat so If I ever get back to my shakes I hope to start loosing good again.. Well I gotta run for now...I hope all is well with you all...God Bless each of you... Luv and Hugs....Tammy~ammy

GOOD Afternoon Wonderful OH Missouri people!! :-) Things here are great, went to my PCP's office this morning for a "checkup" and he was disgruntled my surgeon prescribed me a thyroid medicine and said he would really like it if I didn't have to take that SO he wanted to recheck my TSH/T4 stuff....sooo....too an hr for the poor girl to find a vein to give her a tube full of blood *sigh*  I now look like a pincushion....which I'm sure will only intensify during surgery/recovery with IV's and the likes coming in and outta me... Jon and I are looking for a new place to live, we're wanting to buy a house...but if that doesn't work out we're wanting to find a house for rent b/c we're just bout SICK of our neighbors and their wild parties.  And so we've been frantically looking since I'm going to be gone so much in the next couple weeks and our lease is up early August...well...I decided to bite the bullet and call our landlord and see what she'd say.  I told her I was having surgery (not what kind) and asked if there was any way to extend our lease by a couple of months so we could have time to either move on or decide to stay here...and she said she would be MORE than happy to let us stay on another couple of months on a month by month basis until we make a decision....*whew* that was a HUGE load off my shoulders and will be off of Jon's when I tell him later when he wakes up. I also have gotten more than half of my TO DO list done today....I'm still working hard (well except for right now since I'm talking to ya'll...) on it and hope to get more finished by the end of today!  Right now, I'm loading all my music on my IPOD and I (sadly) found out about the IPOD store where you can buy songs for $0.99 and bought like 6 songs before I even blinked an eye....oops!  So I quickly navigated away from that webpage!  ha ha  That could become quite addicting very easily....better not go there often! Thanks everyone for the encouragement on my last post...I was just feeling really frustrated with myself...but I'm better now... I bought some liquid B12 complex vitamin...and eww...it's so gross....good thing it's only like 1/2 teaspoon servings...and if it keeps me from having to take shots later on then I'll endure it!  The complex also has BIOTIN in it so hopefully that'll either help with no hairloss or help with new hair growth :-) I can't believe there's only 7 days left...it's unreal.....Chelle, one week from right now our nurses are going to be forcing us to drag ourselves and our IV's and etc down the hall to walk...*ugh*  That's going to be a chore....but a neccessary evil :-) I love you all and you are all in my thoughts and prayers!  On with my TO DO list!! **hugs**
