Nice to see you starting the thread this morning Judy.

Margo...I hope you can settle on some kind of offer and get that burden of having to sell your house out of the way. I continue to keep you in my prayers sweetie!
Laureen...your story of moving your matress on the floor to be by Dillinger brought tears to my eyes. I loved my dog that much...I sure do miss him!

Have a great day everyone...share some extra smiles...it will make you feel better too.
Prayer for those in need.....especially Linda S...sure am missing her!
Love and hugs to all....connie d
I thought that after an abdominal ultrasound found a fatty liver and pancreas and some other scary sounding things that the surgery might be called off, but it won't be. So I'm starting to think of the things I need to pack in my bag to get ready for the hospital. I don't think that there are enough days left to get my ducks in a row at work. I may have to go to the college on my time off just to get ready for the new semester that starts in January when I get back to work. I have great benefits and have taken off from Nov. 23 to January 7.
I had a bone scan when I had the ultrasound and I've found out that I have arthritis all over my body - literally from (almost) head to foot. I even have arthritis in one of my big toes. That explains the throbbing that I have after a day of teaching. I hope that lessens with less weight on my feet. Ah, the privilege of getting old brings so many challenges with it.
Judy - I hope that you get the time off that you need - we all need to get away from work from time to time.
Laureen - you are my, and Dillinger's, hero. I wish that I could give you a hug all the way from Ontario to New Jersey. I can't tell you how much I admire you.
Everyone - know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.
Margaret
Edited to add - Margo, I hope that this negotiation works out for you and your husband and that you are soon on your way like the Lone Ranger - Hi Yo Silver, away.............
WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! now on packing things to take to hospital...trust me you won't need much...use the hospitals gowns its easier for you and them to get in and out of....take some chap stick for the dry lips you will have after surgery!!! its a wild ride so hang on tight!!!!!!! and remember to walk walk walk and sip sip sip!!!!!
i will get the time off i requested i just won't get my vacation pay for it...sighs....just doesn't make me happy going without pay for a week but i will take the time off just to get away so i can re-group!!
hugs ;-)
Thank you for your kind words and when I read your post the other day stating that you thought your surgery would be postponed due to the findings you stated, I kind of thought that those were all related to your obesity, as I remember that being obese can actually cause cirrochsis (sp?) over time. So good for you that you are on your way to the Loser's Bench. I'll bet a lot of the aches and pains you are experiencing now will be gone as you lose weight, at the very least they will be lessened.
As for what to pack to bring to the hospital, I'd suggest a robe, slippers that have rubber soles, so you don't slip while walking the halls, perhaps your mp3 player, if you have one, a magazine or book, of course, your toilitries. While I was there I did not have time to read, because when they didn't have me doing the breathing exercises or walking up the halls to get rid of the gas from the procedure, I was trying to catch some sleep or sipping or such things.
Anyway, it will be nice to watch you go through the different phases of this sometimes wacky journey.

Arthritis is progressive, however, so even if you lose the weight, it doesn't go away, unlike high blood pressure or high cholesterol or diabetes. And osteoarthritis is a disease of aging, so no matter what we do, it catches up with us. Losing the weight will help, however. But I still can't walk or stand for very long, but that's me.
i am tickled that you are almost there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hugs!!!!!!!!!!!
oh-and the offer-no dice--durn!!!!!!!
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Easy day for me today. Not much to watch on TV on the cell phone, only one show I liked. So I played on the internet. Answering posts on both boards I frequent. At the second job I have been playing golf on the computer. It is an Excel program.
My son got his Cowboys tickets for this Sunday's game. Before he bought them, his boss called and told him last chance. I can get two lower level seats, or five upper deck. Brad said he wanted to share it with his whole family, so took the upper deck. The boss told him the cost was going to be the same, $1000. So my son is ecstatic. He gets to go see his first pro football game. And he gets to see it at Jerry Jones' monument to himself. Part of me, as always wants the Cowboys to lose. But the other part tells me the kids will enjoy it so much more if they win, and see the crowd going crazy. Darn darn darn.
Baseball is about to get interesting. Not that anyone outside of Eileen and I will be paying attention right now. Free agents become really free Friday. Let the bidding begin.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
