Tuesday and Good Morning

Never started a thread but thought I would give it a try today.  Being on the East Coast (South really) I may be the first up.  I got up to go to Power class at gym, but did not make it there.

I have already messed up this morning and ate a bad carb.  Maybe the rest of the day will go better.  Hope everybody's day goes good.  It rained all night, I think.  I will meet my friends in a bit for our walk.  We use umbellas if necessary.  I wish I could get the spell check to work better.  It tells me a word is spelled wrong, but does not give me any help with the correct spelling.  Oh well!!

hi/lo/have not weighed yet.  ugh     

Good morning Ruby! Up very early and at the hospital. They have wifi so I will post again after surgery. Been up since 3:30 a.m. Going to be a long day.

Vickie - will be sending you and Butch positive vibes today.  He's going to come out of this feeling wonderful and eventually pain free.

Vickie...I continue to pray for Butch and you as well.

Love you...HUGS....connie d

Vickie,

Prayers to you and Butch. He'll be on pain meds, you won't ... so take care of yourself too.

It is hard to see our loved ones in pain. Keep in mind that he will feel better each day, and soon be up and running. At least walking without pain.

Kisses

Annette

 

Annette....sending LOVE to you!!!!

More love and hugs too....connie d

Good Morning girls!  I'm an East Coaster  as well.  Working a half day at a local elementary school today and must be there by 7:30 so........ I'm up.  This time change really wears me out though.  I can't get to bed at a decent time then I can't get up early.

Tomorrow we have our first appointment with the surgeon.  Anxious to see what he has to say. Letter from PCP is in the works and we have talked extensively to the insurance so I think we are on or way!

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

Karen

Karen....good luck tomorrow....praying all goes well for both of you!

Love and hugs...connie d

Good Morning Ruby and OFF-

 

Ruby leave the bad carb incident behind and keep going forward.  Know how it feels as I succumbed to girl scout cookies this past weekend.

 

Got my bloodwork back.  Good news is that everything is normal, bad news is that normal means a hysterectomy.  I'm kinda numb about it at this point.  The blood work revealed that I am in menopause, therefore I shouldn't have had a bleed.  So despite plans to leave the refuge on April 6 it looks like I'll be here through the end of the month at a minimum.  Don't know any schedules yet as the doctor is getting my records from Maine to study and determine best approach.  Thank god I've lost the weight that I have and that I'm so much more physically fit to deal with this surgery.  I am hoping against hope that she will be able to do this procedure laproscopically.

The book project is going well.  It's keeping me sane.  We've received at least 500 pictures and have 13 photographers signed up for the project.  The photos I'm sorting are beautiful and I'm excited that this will be a one of a kind book when finished.

Positive thoughts to all of you.  Vickie - I know Butch will come out of this knee replacement surgery feeling great.  Connie-  Hope you're still recovering from the pneumonia.  Trish - hope you got the sinus infection under control.

Off to get a perm for me and flea treatment for my cat.  It's a pretty sunny day and I'm going to enjoy it.

Cindi, my hysterectomy was done through the vagina.  It was no picnic, but not too bad.  I spent two days in hospital.  Later I had an open surgery for bladder repair and other work in that area.  It was a lot harder. Hope your procedure goes well. 

Enjoy your day.
