What we are eating,and what's eating us. Thursday.
Good morning to you, Linda! I hope that your day is as great as you are...then you will most certainly have a good one. Heck I hope that we all have a great one for that matter.
Nothing much going on here. I went to the pcp yesterday and she found out what is going on. She started me on a antibiotic and ordered a boat load of blood work which I am going to get tomorrow morning. She called the hospital about the culture and they told her that it wasn't done but so far there is several kinds of bacteria in it. The antibiotic that she put me is the Cleosin and that is what I was on the last 2 times. I personally don't think it helped but it is like she said...if it needs to be changed it can but at least something is being done. The times I took this it just tore my stomach up so I doubt that this time is going to be any different. It scared me because there is so many side effects of it. It can give you colitis too...while you are taking it or weeks to months after you are done. Oh joy..I don't want that for sure.
Food was alright I guess. Not the best day but not the worst either.
B: nothing....sorry about that, Linda........
L: roast pork with a bit of cottage cheese
D: a bit of chicken
S: nothing
So I did get some protein in which is better than nothing. I have to really work on the water. I haven't been getting as much as I should in but with this medicine I have to drink a lot of it according to the directions.
I hope that your day is good....I am sending love and hugs to you along with prayers being said for you and yours. Spread that happiness and joy that you have and they will sprout and make so many people's lives happier. And that includes you too! I love you my fine friend! Don't forget that either..or I will have to come and spank you! ha ha

Brenda,you are so sweet. I would show my arse so much about the damn antibiotic,she would give me something else. Why she would put you on something that doesn't work,and tears up your stomach,I do not know.
Just do the best yo can babe,and let's hope it works this time.
I still do not like her,and wish you could see another doctor.
Hugs!
Please drink lots even if you use flavored drink and eat yogurt.

Linda, my pcp is the one that put me on the antibiotic. She said that she had to put me on that one because it is so broad spectrum and they aren't sure what they are dealing with infection wise. I have a lot of allergies to antibiotics and so that is unfortunately the best one for me. She said that it can always be changed if need be when they find out what they are dealing with.
The surgeon is the one that you don't like. He has yet to even call or anything. I am disappointed in him too but he visiting nurse and the pcp both told me that he is the best surgeon in the area. I have heard that too but not from both of them. My nurse said it one day and the doctor told me that another day. The nurse said that she doesn't understand what is going on with this mess and the doctor's office.

Linda,
Yesterday the pastor of my church called to tell me that he heard there's a clerical job open at the town municipal office, so I went over there this morning and applied for it. The woman who gave me the application to fill out couldn't tell me anything about the job except that it's 4 hours a day (which would suit me just fine). I know some real nitwits who work there, but I can put up with a lot if it's only 4 hours a day. It sure would be nice to be earning money again.
B: coffee protein shake
S1: iced skinny latte
S2: fresh strawberries
L: chicken, edamame dip
S: cheese
D: catfish cakes, Asian cucumber salad
S: frozen cherries (not as good as frozen Milky Way bar, but pretty good anyway)

Howdy folks and special thoughts to Brenda and Jeanne today. I was up early for fasting lab work at 7:30. Had a raging headache before finally getting my caffeine fix at 8:15 along with a protein bar. On my second cup now and feeling much better.
From the "be careful what you wish" department: I'm not as scared about my job as I was yesterday. I've been fanticizing about retirement and spending time with my grandkids. They want to cut my hours to 25 per week but I may be able to retire first and come back as contract labor. Now I'm wishing that I could add another rental room on my house. Know a couple of contractors...stranger things have happened.
I have a banana, yogurt and Kashi cereal for lunch and some peanuts for snack. I'm walking after work with a friend and meeting others for the Blues Jam before the big blues festival this weekend so may get a little dancing in today too. Not sure about dinner which will probably be out but plan on protein and vegies.
Truckin' away, CV Linda

Jean,I hope the job works out,I think iw would suck if they cut your hours before you retire,unless they are going to base it on past hours you worked.
Sounds like you have a good day planned and that is excellent.
Please enjoy,and I will hope that everything is settled to your advantage...keep on trucking!

Hello Linda and friends
I am posting late. I've been running around getting things fixed today. first the car then the computer.
My day's plan is
B - protein drink
s - buffalo jerky
L - salad with grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, celery, gr onion, and celery. for dressing
I smashed up half a tomato and added a spoon of mayo.
D - I was going to have fish but DH brought home a turkish meat pie. The lady in the cafe
downstairs is from Jordan and she makes them every now and then.
S - popcorn
I have already had most of my water and have only one multi and one B-12 left to take today.
So far So good
