Again!!What a great group! We had fun yesterday-Brad took an ambulance ride to the hospital because he had numbness in his hand-for 2 days-and he felt weak. Heart tests turned out fine so far but they kept him overnight and they will do more tests to see about the tingling. His sugar is higher than usual. He has arthritis in his neck. The scare was because he's had 2 heart attacks. I am trying not to fear the future but I can'y help worrying. It's bringing back some bad memories from the past because my previous husband had a massive heart attack but he smoked. I have to stop that projecting-it's not the same. I tell people to let go-I have to practice what I preach. I reread my jornal and all the things I have been concerned about in the last 6 months have turned out fine except I didn't find my cross. But Brad is buying me one for my birthday. And it's only jewelry. Hope everyone is ok. Mima

Mima- I hope everything turns out good with your Brad. It is scarey when they get sick. I have been in the E/R more than I like with my hubby. He probably has been doing too much.
I had a quiet weekend. It was so hot and walking was not a thought yesterday
Hello everybody, waiting for the cool weather. You probably are already getting it.
Bye...Joanne

Brad is home and all the heart tests were ok. He's overdue for a stress test so he will have one next month and they are checking the arthritis in his neck--he's glad to be home. It could have been a lot worse. I am fasting because I'm getting my cholesterol checked , having breakfast with my girlfriend, and then going to massage. We bought a new showerhead that has massage in it- have one at the hotel so I know how nice it is, Hi to everyone. I saw an ad on the tv for a new IBS med-I'd like to try it but I am supposed to get a new arthritis med today. Mima

Mima- Glad to hear your Brad is doing ok.
Yesterday I decided to have a sandwich for lunch. I got out the lettuce and was stunned when my lost ring fell out of the lettuce. It must have slipped off my finger when I put the lettuce away. I am so used to wearing it ,I did not miss it till later in the day.
Walked yesterday- I was hurting so bad afterward that about all I could do was take a shower and go to bed. I must be really out of shape. That walk was no problem a couple years ago..
Hello everybody..How are you? Joanne

Mima..glad Brad is ok:) I worry about stuff too..just can't help it..I have always been that way!

Joanne..glad you found your ring and did not eat it!:D

The last set of sheets I ordered fit but I do not like them the color is Olive but looks like brown and they are 30o count cotton and I do not like the way the feel I like the 50 - 50 sheets better so will have to try and find them in 20 inch! The new bed is ok..kinda soft with the pillow top, you would think a 2,500 dollar bed would be great! Still to hard for me to handle making and flipping and the guy comes tomorrow morn to remove a grease spot they got on it and the replaced box spring will be here next week! Nothing ecver goes as you want it ..right gals

So far the dog has had 3 really good days...so it is day by day now. My energy level is way down, new it would hit from not eating enough and too much stress!

Trying to book a motel room for Sept to see my son. We went through Expedia .com..really cheap but they will not guareentee what we want. I do not like that cause then we are stuck paying for it since they bill your credit card up front and you have to cancell 48 hrs before. I called the hotee and they say they can never guarentee your request untill you get there no matter how it is booked. Poop!!!!!!!!!

I've gone through hotels.com but you have to pay up fron too-I think they are all like that. Was very satisfied with the hotels although one room was on the 3rd floor with no elevators-that was New Orleans. You pick your hotel yourself. You can look without renting a room on hotels.com. Finally a day home and my girlfriend is taking me out for dinner. Hi everyone. Sorry you hurt, Joanne . Doc gave me a new med to try-it's an antidepressant to take at night but I already take Desyrel so I don't get it. Have to call pharmacist. Bye for now. Mima-ps our dog has a hot spot that he is going after. Last year it cost us $200 to treat it. Mima

Joanne D
08-20-2003, 10:45 AM
Mima- Often our Dr.'s will give us new meds without saying discontinue the previous med. They are so busy that they don't fully look at our list of meds. Call the Dr. by all means.
I have started a new quilt. It might take me a couple years to finish. I make a lot of my quilts by hand. The center sguares will be flower embroidery.The outside of the sguares will be a light print. We will see how it works. I will make it for a bed cover(Q).
Where is everybody. I guess the summer has wiped you all out.
I'll try to walk today...
Bye for now...Joanne

I have wanted to make that kind of quilt, Joanne. Is it a kit. I need a Florida project and my cousin's daughter is getting married-I need to make her a wall hanging like I made her sister. cHecked with doc-meds are to take 3 hours apart. Got bad choleterol news-up to 252 but HDL is 86-triglycerides high-called other doc but haven't heard back. I will walk today with Auntie. Went to dinner with friend. Fun.!Also, having nails done. It takes a lot of time to look good these days. Bye for now. Mima

Good morning. Just a quickie post to let you know I'm still around and following your "adventures" when I can. Mom has declined very rapidly. Found out three days ago she has a malignancy somewhere which has spread to her liver and which has been giving her much pain. She has been unable to speak for a week or so and couldn't tell us except by moans.

She was put on morphine finally after other stuff didn't work. Many of family were at her bedside last 36 hours or so. DH and I will be heading up shortly unless I hear that she has passed by then.

Still trying to watch what I eat (but not as hard). Some neglect to dh's diet and his last numbers were creeping up. I don't think this year has been very good to me so far. Have been thinking of talking to dr about something for stress, keep puttingit off. But yesterday I had a little Southern Comfort in my tea (very little). It did take the edge off.

Hope to be ack soon.

Mima- I have only used a kit two times- My daughter bought them and was going to try to make them. Well I finally said I would put them together. She was at a loss where to begin. They were a disappointment. The fabric was not as nice as it should have been for the price. I design and cut everything myself. If I am going to put that much work in something I want it to last.
Anagram- This is a very stressful time for you. Try to take care of yourself and your hubby.It won't help anyone if you get sick.
I know it is not easy to make good choises when we are on the go. I have been there and done that many times.
We got rain last night and expect some more today. I won't complain...I didn't get to walk.
Weigh in tonight. I hope to at least turtle....Joanne

Anagram - my heart goes out to you. You are right, you have not been having a good year. Sometimes it seems everything piles up all at the same time. I hope that your Mom doesn't have to suffer for long.

Joanne - I would love to try make a quilt someday. They are so beautiful.

Mima - Sure glad Brad was ok. What a worry.

Candice - Hope you get your bed straightned out soon. A comfortable bed is worth it's weight in gold.

Hi Meme and Ally. Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi guys-so sorry about all your stress Anagram-There is no easy way to die or for someone to watch someone else. Prayers are the only thing that can give us comfort. And a little Southern comfort is good. Our thoughts are with you and our prayers too.
Hey guys-I got a great present for my 65th birthday. My son called last night to tell me that his wife is pregnant-I talked to he afterwards, This will be my second granchild-Alison is 13-she's the one with spina-bifida so lots of things to pray about there. I always wanted more granchildren-baby would be due right when we are ready to go home so if things are fine, we will stay til the baby is born-least I will. Oh well-that's far away. Hi everyone. How are you feelimg Anne. Hi Meme, Ally, Candice, Joanne. Joanne, I made 2 quilts out of kits and you are right, the cloth is not the same. Guess I will be making some baby things when I am in Fl.-Gonna be busy. Bye for now. Mima

Happy- You should start a quilt. It is a really relaxing hobby. Most of the work is in the top layer. I spend about a couple hours or so a day working on it. Watch some TV while I am doing it. I have never been able to just watch the idiot box without some kind of hand work.
Mima..You make me jealous. I have two G/children. I have always hoped that my son would get married again and have one. Not to be yet.
I gave the program at TOPS last night...I haven't spoke in front of a group in a long time. I was anxious and forgot a few things. It was on WW 's point system. Also pros and cons of WW. I will have to do more of this so I can gain more security. I gained 1/2 lb.
Anagram- I am so sorry for your loss. Just keep in mind that she is out of her pain and in a better place in Heaven. She will be looking down and watching over you and yours. Now , take care of youself.
Hello Alley,Meme. Candice.
Have a Great Weekend Everybody........Joanne

You have my sympathy Annagram on the lsos of your dear mother:(

We do not have king pillows but I'm gonna get some cheap ones at the dollar store to put in the shams. I use a speical pillow for my neck problems and DH likes his old one from years ago. I orded 2 more sets of sheets from Penny's and now I need to see if the old but still in good shape bedspread will fit..I think it will be too short but not sure. They are bring my new bed in 3 weeks..I get new one since they screwed up this one with the grease .

Finally some relief from the heat! Still picking cukes and zukes and tomaotes too!

I had my mammo yesterday and then went shopping...got two new pair of Birkies, the garden clogs and some sandels and then of to Kohl's for their big sale and spent way too much! Then off to Kroger for some food and got home at 2 AM and it took me untill 4Am to unload and put everything away. Needless to say I am exhasted now! Took a sandwich and snacks with me so ok on the food and water.

Trip is sept 5th and reservations are made but they still will not guarentee them and I taked with the hotle directly.

The dog is holding her own so far.

Good morning ! I had a nice quiet birthday but we are going out to eat tonight-bought my own cake!!Had them put Happy Bithday on it. And I lost a pound at TOPS so I got to wear the crown . I chaired the meeting but there were only 3 of us. So I wasn't nrervous like you Joanne-we are having an open house in Sept so maybe we can get some new members. There are only 7 of us. I'm almost at goal but I only had 8 lbs to lose. It's finally cool here. Going to pack for Montreal where we go on Monday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMA
I always like the quiet birthdays. If there is a lot of fuss I don't get the time to enjoy myself.
I bet you are going to have a great time on your trip.
I gained 1/2 lb. One step foward ,a step back. I need to pay more attention to what I'm eating.
Candice- It sounds like you do all your shopping at night??
I bet your garden was really nice...I tried to have a garden some years ago.. What the bugs and squirrels didn't get I shared with friends. The little critters make it impossible around here. I had a neighbor that used to sit outside with a gun shooting them. We all got upset ,that lived close by, because we had small children playing in the area. We were afraid he was going to shoot someone. :lol:

I've gained nearly all my weight back that I lost at the beginning of the year! BOO HOO! Guess it's because I can't walk or do much of anything now ... with this ankle like it is. I started in K Mart last night, at first I thought I could make it, but I couldn't get past the van door. Well, I got one of my crutches out of the van and got part of the way down the parking lot and then I just gave up. I told hubby to just go on and get what he was going after because I couldn't do K Mart and then go through Wal Mart and get groceries, too. I just waited for him in the van. He got one of those cargo carriers that goes on the top of the van for vacation. We'll need the extra room since our daughter's family's going with us!!! By the time I got through Wal Marts I was pooped!

Anagram ... I'm so sorry about your mom. I know what you're going through - about this time last year I was going through the same thing. My mom died in July. You are in my prayers!

Congratulations on the weight loss Mima and especially on the coming event and happy birthday! :balloons:

Candice, I'm glad the doggy is feeling better, hope it continues. You never know about these things, do you? That's why it's so hard to have them put down. You always wonder if they would've gotten better.

Well, I've got to get back to work. I'm having to do a little at a time in order to stay on top of things here.

So Sorry to hear about your mother Anagram....
Happy Birthday Mima.
I'm sure I missed some other news, just scanned your posts. I have been driving two hours each way all week to take care of my aunt who fell and is in the hosp. They think her Coumadin levels were too high....then they found she had bleeding and had to do first an endoscopy then yesterday a colonoscopy. I feel that no one is paying close attention. Her doc went on vacation...although the nurse was taking blood levels on the coumadin, who was reading them??? My brother is a gastroenterologist and says that coumadin can cause bleeding. It just all makes me so mad. Then she gets in a hospital and they ignore her there. The other lady in her room is deaf and today she told me that they are mashing up her pills in apple sauce so she won't question what she is taking. She refused to eat the applesauce, wanted to see the pills. The nurse was so mad. She comes back with high blood pressure meds and the old lady said "I knew it, this is new. You were trying to get me to take something without telling me". Oh, don't let me get old......

Candicej
08-24-2003, 06:19 AM
Meme.that is so right about putting animals down..you never know if they would have gotten better...but they said my kitty was already a gonner....so I am almost sure about that one but the dog is another story, none of her organs are failing just her arthritis....hummm..should we put you down? ;) Why don't you drive one of those little carts to go shooping?

Alley..I hate hospitals you cannot trust them and you need someone looking out after you cause they do not! Good thing your aunt has you:) Bless you my child!

Mima..Happy Birthday........I'm not sure I would have had a cake if I had to by it;)

Hi guys-I am overwhelmed by my children's generosity-The boys chipped in and bought me a new digital camera-my old one is good but this is awesome-then they paid for dinner-I only bought the cake because it was in the store when I went shopping-lemon-then my daughter walked in with a cake and my son called on his way here about getting a cake!!!So I would have had 3-my daughter gave me some Avon products , the American Idol cd-and a little bear. It was she who told the other one that they should pay for our meals. It was nice!!!!Now back to normal. I'm sorry about your aunt, Ally. Sometimes pills look different because they are made by a different company but they are the same thing. The thing is that sometimes they put people on so many pills!!!My SIL's father takes `15 a day. Brad's mother was taking 12 and falling -she did much better when they took some away. Brad and I each take 7! Anyway, hope she's better. Hey Meme, don't they have wheelchairs in some of those stores that you could use while you are in there. Would hate to miss shopping. Bye for now Mima

I take 12 a day and that's not counting the aleve and darvocet plus once a week I take 8 methotrexate! :eek: I took Tylenol PMs last night and still did not go to sleep until after 4:30 ... then had to get up at 7:30 this morning - had all the kids and hubby's folks for dinner! :tired:

No ... I'm not riding in one of those wheel chair thingies until I just can't shop any other way. I had to do that for a while and I hate shopping that way. You can't reach anything and you can't get down the aisles to where you need to go. I hate those things. I'd rather stay home!!! UGH! Sometimes I feel like it's time to have me put down!!! :cry: But then my babies come along and wrap their arms around my neck and give me their sweet sloppy kisses and say the magic words that sooth my soul (I wuv you Meme)... and everything is better for a few minutes! ;) Then they leave and I have the mess to clean up and eveything is back to normal! :p

Mima- Your B/D picture is nice. The cake looks yummy- Have a good trip.
Meme- I would hate to use a cart in the stores for shopping. But that is what they are there for. Use it and to heck with everything else. You got to do what you got to do. It is nice when the G/children give us the love. Mine are grown but I still lap it up.It seems as we get older the Dr.'s try to press more and more medications on us.
Ally- Glad you got some help with your aunt. Take care of yourself.How are the boys doing? Have they moved home yet or did they decide they were big enough to make it on their own?

There is another tiny little problem with the "carts" (as you guys are calling the wheelchair buggys) and me! Here I am in one of those, I'm 5' 9" and I weigh around 180 most of the time give or take 5 pounds. (This month it's GIVE!!!!!!! UGH!) And I carry my weight well ... so I don't really LOOK overweight at all. I have NO wrinkles so I don't look old. Just to LOOK at me you wouldn't know there was a thing in the world wrong with me so I don't LOOK crippled. So ... seemingly ... here's a perfectly healthy ... not overweight ... young ... woman in a wheelchair buggy. So everybody stares. I HATE THAT!!! I can just hear them thinking, "wonder what's wrong with her!" Then to top it all off - along comes someone (nosey one) that I know ... "OH ...What happened???" (I'm a very private person ... most of our acquaintances don't even know there's anything wrong with me!) So I have to launch into conversation and explanation about my personal life while blocking the whole asile for 20 minutes ... no ducking into another aisle and getting away from them! And that is liable to happen in Wal Marts here at least 5 or 6 times in one visit. Sorry ladies ... I'm just not going to put myself through all that! Once again ... unless there is just NO CHOICE - I'd rather just stay home! Maybe I'll become a recluse!

Candicej
08-26-2003, 07:17 AM

Mima...what a nice picture. You are sure purty.
Meme....I have a very overweight friend who is starting to become addicted to her father's scooter. She used it to get good seats at a baseball game. Last week she took it with us to a museum and really embarrassed me. She got stuck on one of the stairway elevator things. And she doesnt even really need it!!!!!
Joanne....one son is home. And wouldn't you know. I get the slob home first. His own room is so bad, he is sleeping in his brother's room. And the other one is in love:dizzy: He is paying a third of the rent with two other boys. He is home everyday...
My aunt is still in the hosp. They thought she had a tumor on her kidney. Get this....they did not read her chart. They did an ultra sound and told her they saw something on her kidney. She told them to call the Doc who removed it. They said "huh???? you only have one???" It ended up to be that they saw scar tissue.....

Joanne D
08-27-2003, 11:16 AM
Ally- Sounds like they have some really dumb people in that hospital. I used to tell my son,clean up the room or everything I find out of place (tomorrow) will be put in the trash. It only took one time of him going through the trash for him to know I meant it. Just male...His house gets in the same shape. He has a off and on girlfriend who must be the same.
Meme- I hope you can feel better and get some relief. I hate to think of you being homebound. Life is too short to not enjoy all you can.
Where is Happy? Hello Candice. I think Mima is on her trip...

Yes, Meme. I do remember when your Mom passed away and you were doing so much for her before then and all you had to do afterward.

I'm back on the wagon. Went to pool yesterday and walked today. still hot so I waited until this evening and walked about a half hour. Getting in water and watching what I eat but probably eating at more "maintenance" than "losing" level. But I'll build back up to cutting down as time goes on. A little more teary today and not eager to get into the lawyer thing yet. Working bit by bit on getting ready for that.

Candice, I stay home a lot more than I used to as well. dh should get out a bit more too. We never seem to have the energy at the same time.

Anagram..tears are ok...........it will take time.

Ally...talk about a hospital I do not want to go too!:eek:

Joanne..I just can't throw stuff away, always think I will need it late for somthing and sometimes I do;)

My son just got a jumpdirve...said it is really neat and replaces the floppy...I have never heard of it...he learned about it in his computer class.

Meme..that list would ot work for me cause I do not have to have choc but I do like it on occasion. However the fifty dollalrs would work for me most of the time;)

Had my physical yesterday..my blood pressure was 100 over 60 and my weight is normal too! Ok..good..but I still feel like crap! Too much running up and down the steps putting groceries a way!

Hi guys! We had a great time in Montreal. Be good to yourself, Anagram. Grieving takes a lot out of you but when you have seen someone die that has been ill, you know they are much better off, Brad got a cold on his way up and now I have it to. That's the price of being married. I did some research on my family and may have found my great grandfathers marriage certificate with information-that we were part Italian not English. Still need to do mopre-probably go back to the archives-that was great. Went to Notre Dame where my grandfather was baptised. Anyhow-great trip. Bye for now. Mima

Good morning-still not feeling well. At least I could call in sick at TOPS and not face the music. Got a note from the doc saying he wants to see me about my cholesterol nummbers. I have been fooling around with them for 5 years and they are still high. Drugs!!!That's the answer. But not one that hurts my stomache like Lipitor did. I don't think I am part Italian, I think they dropped a letter off the name Barsalo (u) because the first name was French. Daphine. I ahve been getting nowhere with an internet search and my family tree maker program wants MONEY! For everything. I will find a free thing. I will do a course-that will be fun!!Hope everyone is well.

Hello Everybody-- Italian?Mima ,isn't it strange how much we find out when we start a search for family... I have some relatives in Ga. Long distance although their last names are the same as my maiden name. I went to investigate with my daughter a few years ago. When the fellow we were looking for got out of his truck and walked towards me I thought it was my father (long dead) . We talked for awhile and then his son gave me a e-mail address so I could write to his wife. She had made a search on the family. She never responded.
I am glad you had a good trip.. Sorry you aren't feeling well. I have had a stiff neck with headaches for about a week. Just arthritis, I guess.
Where is Happy? She has been gone for awhile..
Have a good weekend you all...Joanne

Just a quick hello. Busy weekend. But have to tell you that they changed me to a new Doc for my physical yesterday. She is (I swear) 17, red hair and freckles with a nervous laugh. She told me I am amazingly healthy for feeling so bad. She did agree to check thyroid...my hair is falling out. Wouldn't it be nice to take a pill and lose some weight...I have my fingers crossed.

Ally... they did the same with me... TWICE ... told me it was borderline both times but wouldn't do anything about it. It would be SO nice to be able to just take a pill and be able to live a normal life (what ever that is).

I was doing pretty good with the ankle the last couple of days. Staying off my feet the first part of the week had helped a lot I'm sure. I got up this morning, felt pretty good...looking forward to the weekend. Have Ross and Jenna today through tomorrow eve. Going out to eat and shopping later today. Getting the bathrooms and kitchen cleaned and some wash done, nothing too big today, and then a nap with Jenna before doing town after hubby gets home. Then I sat down for a minute and was reading the kids a book. Well, Jenna hit my foot the wrong way and kind of twisted my ankle and sent me into fits of pain and now I can't walk. Go figure! Seems like I just can't win!

Feel better Meme. I finally feel better today and got 9 hours sleep last night which is great. Daughter cane over-she broke up with her boyfriend-again! We went for a walk and that probably helped me sleep. Where is Anne? Bye for now. Hi everyone. Mima
