Blessing to all the Snowy Sunday! We have gotten alot of snow since Fri. I am worried about going to work Monday because the area I work in is under a snow advisory! That means do not be out unless you have to and if you slide off you won't recive help anytime soon! Looks like my DD is doing better Thanks for the Prayers. I am hope that they cancel school Monday. The roads are pretty bad out here and the wind is so strong that they can't seem to get them cleaned off.
Claudette-I kind of have the same problem When I cut my intake way down My Bloodsugars drop so much I end up eating everything in sight! I am trying to eat a few crackers in between meals and it is helping.
Wilma-how is the weather out your way?
EZ-I want some sun! Please send it ASAP!
Zoe-Are you back yet?
Sherry-How are you feeling? Are your taking care of yourself?
Teaki-How is Chris?
Doingitforme-How are you holding up?
Dee-Looking forward to getting to know you!
To all others please post often. My prayer are with you all!

Yes, it is suppose to snow today, and then warm up into the 30's the increase in temp will be a welcome change. I really don't want more snow, but I will refrain from complaints. Hi to claudette- good to see you back again, sami glad your daughter is doing better, now about you, make sure you check with the dr. and see what is what. Maybe there is a mix up, or something. Then at least the Dr. could explain course of treatment ect. Hi to everyone else. Pastor update- He has 6 more treatments of radiation, He goes Feb. 28th to be scanned again, and has a follow up apt. at Dartmouth on March 10th, I continue to ask for prayer that He has been healed and is cancer free. I relize the only way this can happen is if the Lord chooses to intervene. I just pray that happens. I above pray his will be done. I again am working a double today, and have to leave shortly. Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Catch ya all tom. Have a good day! God Bless!
It's a balmy -7C outside and it's Monday. I don't want to go to work because no one else in this house has to but that's life. I'm having a great visit with my in laws. We also had a great time with our friends from back home. It was so good to see them. Now it's back on schedule and back to having a salad at lunch.
I hope you all have a super day. My prayers are will all of you. I wish I had more time to talk with all of you but time doesn't really permit this morning. Have a great one!!
While reading to catch up, I discovered my last post is no where to be found. It must be in cyberland with the others. Even though I have been stressed some from having to cut my hours and the financial problems that could cause, I am absolutely loving working only three days a week. My schedule is M-W-F with no evenings and no weekends right now. I hope it can continue to like this. Our company is making some major changes soon and I will be working out of a different office with a different person making the schedule so who knows. I am seeing the same patients as before but just less often. I love it!!! I was really dreading not seeing my regular ones. Anyway, I'm all smiles.
I have been able to get off the extra fluid and keep it off only if I take my Lasix everyday. I missed one Wed and Thurs and by Friday morning had gained EIGHT lbs!!! And it seems to be harder for me losing now for some reason. I think my body is all messed up. As my teenage dd would say, well, duh! That is obvious. I haven't been able to lose anymore and it seems to be something else just to keep off the fluid. I have been making good choices but need to work harder getting the water in.
I don't remember what all I put in the post that was lost. Miss Lucky the goat, went to goat heaven Friday morning about 3. She had started having bad seizures and the vet told me that she probably had encephalitis. The vet told us if we could have gotten colostrum in her in the beginning she would probably have made it. I was giving her penicillin shots twice a day but she just fought all she could. Bless her little heart! It sure put a major darkness over this home after she passed. Even my dh who never gets attached was very sad. But we learned a lot and am glad we tried.
Glad to see everyone posting. Congratulations on all those that have lost especially, Michele and my prayers continue to go out for the rest of you!!!
I didn't make it to my Alpha class tonight because I haven't felt very good all day. I've had tummy problems and then i had chills and i still have this dull headache. Really think i might have a touch of flu?
I should be studying for an art history test tomorrow......but i don't feel like it.
Had a bad cheat today.....but i'm trying to be more positive so I'll just forget it and go on.
Thought today that I don't think of praying before I eat and I'm going to change that. It'll maybe make me more aware of what I'm doing.
Sherry, glad things are going well with your work schedule. Glad you are taking care of you.
Hi everyone I pray everyone is staying OP! I is WAR at my house two of my DD's are at each others throats! I can't stand it when they fight. I did talk to the Dr. today and she wants me to go back to the The refering Dr. How this plays out is My Dr sent me to the speicalist he thought I needed an ERCP because he thought my pain was caused by the bile ducts spasming. I have been seeing the speicalist for almost 2 yrs while he treated me for all kinds of things he thought it could be. He then sent me to another speicalist who said the ERCP could be harmful and he sent me to another speicalist who did a diffrent procedure. Now she want me to go back to the 2nd speicalist to have the procedure done that he said could be harmful because she thinks that the bile ducts are spasming and the only way to find out is the ERCP! I am getting worse I have not slept through the night for the last 12 days. I keep waking up in pain.
Sherry-I am so glad you are feeling better.
Doitforme-I will keep your Pastor in my prayers. Keep us posted!
Michele-Sounds like you have the flu that us going around here. I pray you feel better soon.
Wilma-I hear you! I am tired of winter! It was nice today but we are suppose to get more snow Fri and Sat!
EZ-Where is my Sunshine!!!! I think you are keeping it all to yourself!
Thanks for letting me Vent! Pray for all to stay OP!
Sami
Sami: I will pray that the Drs find out exactly what is wrong and that it can be treated. I can't imagine not being able to sleep. I need my sleep so badly or I'm grouchy the next day! Take Care.
Mitchypoo: I sure hope it isn't the flu! Take care of yourself!
mrshummer: I would love a work schedule like yours. I just returned to full time and I've had a struggle getting used to it. I don't mind the work I just don't get much done at home!
So, where are the rest of you? Please sign in. We need you.
Hi there! Sorry to hear your still not feeling well sami- hope the Dr's soon get a handle on what is going on, and can effectively treat it. Thanks for the prayers for pastor. Sorry to hear your daughters argue, but that is normal for teenagers I guess- is that what they are! Guess I just supposed they were. Mrs. Hummer- don't forget to take that Lasix, I hope things start looking up for you as well! Mitchy- sorry your feeling yucky hope you'll soon be up and about. Hi also to wilma glad your visit went well. Hi to everyone else. I am doing great I lost a total of 9 lbs last week, probably mostly water, but again good to see the scale move down. Hope you all have a great day. Luv ya's Sue
Hi all,
I didn't have a good food day yesterday and blame it partly on getting over not feeling well. I did feel better and made it to school but i was out of my schedule and did not make good food choices.
But today's another day, right?!
Sue-wow 9 lbs. that is a lot in a week. Good for you.
Today i woke up stuffy and my voice gravelly. Think I need to start taking my vit C, echinacea, zinc and garlic oil. That usually will stop it.
I have too much to do today and would love to just crawl back in bed.....not a good thing. Better get my Bible out and read our Father's words for motivation.
Oh, i forgot to mention, I think I did very well on my art test! We'll see on Thursday but I felt very good about it. The last thing we had to do was see a slide of a picture and identify the artist, time period, and describe the significance of the painting. I knew the time period and movement and I had a choice of 4 artist's and I got it right, it was Seurat! Sometimes tests freak me out so I'm happy when I do well.
Hi, all !
Hope you all are doing well.
Michelle- Sounds like we had the same thing! Yesterday I had chills, fever,(low grade), stomach ache, and dull headache. I took the day off, but am feeling better today.
Sami-Will keep you in my prayers for your bile duct problems
Sue- Will pray for your Pastor
Wilma- Know you will be glad to get some sunshine.
Sherry- I. too couldn't find your previous email; glad to hear your Lasix is working; from one nurse to another, don't forget to take your Lasix! God will work out your financial needs; glad you are only working M-W-F and no evenings/weekends. Working all the time can be so exhausting, especially in Nursing. I will pray for your new office and new boss/schedule person as sometimes they can really be something else.
On a diet note, I have just gone back to eating 3 meals a day, and 3 snacks. After a few weeks, my blood sugar really dropped and for me, I needed to actually have something to chew!

Good evening to all I call my one speicalist and got the results of my MRCP and it does show a cyst on my liver and my kidney it also show something on my upper spine. For you nurses out there any advice for me? I also have cysts on both ovarys. I think part of the problem is I have been passed from speicalist to speicalist and I only see them one or two times most of the time it was right before the procdure they were doing so there is no follow up. And each specialist was just looking at stomach and the other things were found while looking for other things. The second speicalist it treating me for chronic pain He thinks that I have several things causing pain and that it builds until my body just can't take it anymore. HELP..............
Claudette-I hope you feel better.
Michele-So glad you did well on your art test!
Wilma-I know what you mean about not getting much done around the house I hate to admit it but I still have my winter village up! (it is real big and detailed)
Sue-WOW 9 lbs that is great! And yes I have 3 Teenage daughters and 1 teenage son and two Youger daughters (who have that loud pitch screech about them)
Well there is peace tonight at home because my oldest DD is at the fiance house. YEAH!!!!!!
My prayers are with you all!
Sami
Mitchy glad to hear you did well on your test. Sorry you also are not feeling well, and hope your soon feeling better. I allow one day to eat whatever I want no matter how bad, that way you just gotta get to that day, not wait forever. Don't worry just start again, and with God's help we will all get there. Claudette- Thanks for the prayers for pastor. Glad to hear your feeling better today, there is so much sickness around. Sami- well at least you know what your dealing with, now you have to get the schedule time to talk to them about how best to deal with this, not just be passed from doc to doc. Do you have a primary doctor that you could talk to to , if so schedule and apt. and tell him, that you would like answers, as to what courses of treatment are open, pray your soon on the mend. I don't know how you do it ! that many teenagers, oh my! You do deserve a hand. God bless everyone else. Havew agreat day!!Sue
HI LADIES-- Sorry for no posts since last Saturday-- I was posting, the computer had been real slow for a few days- thought it was the server-- anyway the wife came in from running and wanted to go to breakfast so I sent part of my message so I wouldn't lose it---WELLLLLL-- when I tried to finish the computer froze. My wife spent all day Sunday trying to fix it only to be denied! The son of a close friend of mind is trying to establish his computer trouble shooting business so I had him come over-- long story shorter, after 3 nights after work, 11 hours of working on it and a few hundred Washingtons--I'M BACK From what I understand-- and that is very little!-- we had a Trojan Horse virus or something that didn't ruin much but slowed everything down that things would crash.
Glad to see progress being made Sue and Michele in the weight dept. Sami-- don't you just hate those high screeching little girl voices Seriously they are annoying but hey ya gotta love it 'cause they grow up soooo fast as you know!! As far as teenage girls--- I'll take the boys!!
My dear daughter has won 3 tennis matches this week so it has been fun again for her!! It also is much more enjoyable spending time with her when she is happy and not dissapointed. The Air Force Academy was in town but only the boys team played.
Well gotta head off to work-- short day then I have some water damage to take care of on a house our church owns-- it will probably be alot of drywall repair for me -- right up my alley!
I will catch up later--God Bless you all and Sami and Sherry-- prayers with you for your current troubles with the drs. and tests.
