New Kid On The Block

Good morning all! First off...Jackie....do NOT appologize for speaking truthfully to me.  I needed that ass-kicking & you did good.  I'm learning very quickly that there is so much I DON'T know so I am depending on ya'll to tell me when I'm screwing up.  The medical profession will give us the hi-points but they don't tell us about the day-to-day stuff cuz most of them haven't been on OUR side of this journey.  More & more the one-day-at-a-time philosophy is the only way to go in this.  And we newbies depend on those of you that have already been where we are to let us know what's coming down the pike.  Pretty soon we students become teachers too.  That's why I came here...because I recognized right away how strong a support group this is.  So please, do not apologize for educating me.  I totally respect your honesty & am grateful to have it. Last night was yet another new adventure.  Insomnia!  I wake up every morning during the week at 8 am thanks to my hubby's morning wake-up calls.  But I didn't fall to sleep till somewhere near 443am.  That's the last number I remember seeing on the clock.  I was totally wound up.  Physically tired, but not sleepy.  Plus, the past 2 nights I have been experiencing insatiable hunger.  Night before last it actually woke me up.  Through my reading of other posts, I have seen the suggestion of drinking water.  Tried it...not working for me.  The night it woke me up I sucked on a saltine & that helped alot but I don't know if that's ok to do.  Last night I just suffered through it & was miserable.  But I still woke up at 8 this morning, had my breakfast (cream of wheat...yummy! no, really...I liked it) & a glass of milk later on.  I'm fixin' to venture out of the house for the first time in a week to do some grocery shopping & get my tallons done.  Nails have gotten so long, all I need is wings & I'd be able to hunt with these things like a vulture!  Yuck!  I'm guessing that by 2 or 3 this afternoon I will be wiped out & ready for a nap.  See?  I'm so optimistic about my first venture out yet I have no idea how I"m gonna feel in just a matter of a few minutes.  I have no idea how far to "push" myself, so it's a try-it-&-see-what-happens thing.  I did manage to iron out 10 more bandanas for the party, only 40 more to go...lol. As for you desire to remarry the man of YOUR dreams, Jackie, you go honey!  I promise to post photos of the event.  I already have a dress that I THINK I'll be able to fit into.  There's a whole long story about the dress but I won't go into now.  If I don't get off this computer I'll never make it to the errands.  So, I'm off on my adventure.  I'll let ya'll know how it went. Hugs & kisses to everybody!!!!  HAGD!!!
