4/28 HR Meet & Eat

Hey peoples, 4/28 is the last Saturday of the month. I know that a lot of you expressed interest in meeting more but that week was not going to be good for you. I plan to do another mid May but I wanted to see if anyone was still interested in meeting up. I'm willing to meet with anyone on that Saturday around 5pm. Whose game? Amber

I wish I could - my mother-in-law is coming to visit that weekend. so I have to be involved with erh unfortunately. I'll have to look forward to getting together in May. BTW - How are you feeling, Amber? I hope you're doing better and got some answers to what was causing you to feel so poorly. Miss Ya'll, Robin

Hey Girl, No, I'm basically a mess. I'm a stress ball. Add the chest pains. Now I've got a severe sinus infection/strep so its really hard to narrow anything down. The results of my stress test should be coming in today, hopefully. They said 2 days. I'm 99% its not my heart, I really think its all stress. I think I'm having anxiety attacks. I saw my therapist and Psych yesterday. It helped. He gave me a new anxiety med because the old one wasn't working anymore. Once I get rid of this icky sickness I'll be able to access things better. Right now I'm just a ball of nerves. I had my first Volleyball Practice last night and it actually went very well. I shouldn't have been out in the cold though, I think it made things worse. Oh well. Minus a trip to return overdue library books, my butt is getting planted on the couch tonight. Then there's Friday. I'm off Monday due to a conference I'm going to on Wednesday so I get a 3 day weekend, YAY! Hope you have fun with the Inlaws or Outlaws as I call them when they are misbehaving. Sorry for the novel above, I probably should've PM'd ya, hehe. How are you feeling? Have a good day, Amber

Damn Girl, that stinks! I am sooo sorry that you are going through all of this stuff. Glad that you got some new anxiety meds though. I hope it helps! Where are you playin volleyball? That sounds like fun! I used to play in high school and loved it! I haven't felt real great the past 2 days. I think I might have a little bit of a flu bug - you know that whole running back and forth to the bathroom thing and cramps all day yesterday, and I felt a nauseous everytime I ate or drank something. So I only got in a little bit of protein yesterday and not nearly enough liquid. I didn't feel like exercising either. I'm gonna try to do my kickboxin dvd this am and then eat a little cottage cheese to see how that does. The good news though is that yesterday marked 4 weeks post op, and I have lost 27 pounds and almost 2 clothing sizes. I put on a pair of size 16 capris today that I could barely get on last week and got them zipped and buttoned. They are still too tight to be in in public, but I'm getting there. Maybe by the beginning of next week ,I'll be wearing them. I am also going to go part time with my business because I got a job as a physical teaching assistant at Eastern Va. Medical School that I'm starting at the end of the month. So everything is going great for me! I hope you get good results from the Stress Test. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all this is just caused by stress and anxiety and that you can do something to alleviate at least some of the stress in your life. You know I'mm here for you if you need anything - I mean it! Take Care of yourself! Hugs, Robin PS- talk about writing a novel.....

Haha. Yay for you, that's so exciting about the new job. I know that was important to you and I'm glad its working out. We have so many new goals to achieve, I think its just another blessing that this surgery has given back to us. Yay on the pants too, before you know it you'll be putting them in the donate/for sale box. They go so fast I hope to hear some good news myself and make sure you take some meds, this sickness is getting out of control. Oh btw, I don't play Volleyball (well I do) but I am coaching volleyball right now, which is what I was referring to. I work my girls butts off, while working on mine too, hehe! I'll be seeing you soon! Amber

Hey girlies.. Novels are a good thing! I've had the same thing as you, Robin. Think I got it from one of the Maytag repairman or the countertop man (the kids were away over spring break so it wasn't them) We are redoing our kitchen. Hubby put in a new wood floor & our brand new dishwasher leaked. Yup ruined the floor. So now all that is fixed, new countertop is in and the stupid sink leaked. Well you know how that goes...fixed one part another goes bad. Amber, hope you get results and feel better soon. Anyhoo, I'm a no go for the 28th. Going to a birthday party. How about May 5th or 19th? Jen

Hey girl, sorry to hear about your crappy repairs. Hope it gets better soon. I'm good for May 5th, but the 19th is a no go. I have two huge events going on that weekend. The Tidewater Autism Society of America Run/Walk and the CampGonnaWannaGoAgain Tennis Tournament and Party. I've posted about it before, anyone wanting to participate or donate to the cause, just give me a holla! Anything will help. Autism is 1 in 150 now, no joke. Wonder if anyone else is available May 5th???? A

Amber.... I can't make it..have guests coming to town. : ( Dana

Bummer, hotstuff! I need to call you and get your good news. I will do it soon, it just hurts to talk right now How bout May 5th?

May 5th works for me, too! See Ya'll soon, Robin
