Good morning gals! It is going to be another hot one here today. We went to Jack's PT appt yesterday and his therapist is a really nice guy who actually knows what he is talking about. He asked him all sort of questions and did some computer work then came back and explained what they were going to do to elongate the muscle in his calf and down into his foot to give him relief from pain. He is going to be going after work twice a week and we didn't pay a copay. We asked the lady and she said no, so I said if it changed we would pay it and she said that was fine so.....
We went to a deli for lunch and I was a good girl and had a turkey sandwich on wheatberry bread with lett, tom, yellow mustard and baked chips. I ate 2/3 of the sand and only a couple chips and about half my diet drink, but then screwed up and had nachos at the stupid movies. I don't know what I did that, but it is over and done with so we move on. We went to see the new Pirates of the Carribean and didn't know it was so popular. We ended up being finished with lunch at noon so got tickets for the 12:10 show and went in and the theater was crammed. We found aisle seats though and sat down. Some jerk behind us sat and talked on his cell phone during the movie. I was going to give him about 10 seconds more then I was getting someone from the theater. The phones aren't even supposed to be ON let alone blabbing on them. Don't you wonder what people did before the darn things were invented? Jack is a true gadget guy and was interested in buying a picture phone, but we do pay as you go because we lose money on a contract deal. He went into a Cingular store and looked around and came out and I talked to him about the fact we don't USE our phones enough to buy another new one. I have one and he has one, but my minutes pile up because I rarely have to carry mine. I only got it because it was a free deal and we thought it would be good in case Jack is at work and I have the car alone some place. Anyway, I asked him was it worth buying another one and getting a plan that was more expensive than the one we have now (our provider doesn't sell the fancy phones, yet.) He agreed it would be a waste of money since we actually OBEY the law and don't talk on the phone while driving! The movie had a tag ending that forces you to go to the next movie to see what happens. I liked it but Jack didn't. He doesn't like going to the theater and only goes because I am stuck in the house so much.
Susan: Does the support staff still go through training etc everytime you change to something else? I know I was forever in training for something when we would change. When I went to work at the law firm they were using Word Perfect, but I worked there 7 years and at the end they were changing over to Word and we had to take all these classes. At first I hated it because I thought Word Perfect was easier, but then I got used to Word and can manuever around it pretty well at this stage. I miss working I guess, but only sometimes. I do enjoy staying home. Where are they moving your database to?
Jean: I thought the caffeine was the issue too, so I didn't take anything for it until yesterday. I am wondering now whether I am having a reaction to something called (sp) Maillotol that they put in some sweets. Kelly bought me some sugar free Red Vines and I would chew on one of those if I got a little antsy food wise and didn't want to eat a lot of calories. I am wondering if that is what is causing the headaches. I am going to look on the internet and see what it says. I know it can cause diahrrea if you eat a lot of it all at once, sort of like Olean does with chips.
Keep my niece in your prayers, please. Her name is Eryn and a couple weeks ago she started having a rash that got worse and worse. They ended up taking her to the ER and they said she had a platelet condition called ITP and gave her some sort of treatment. Her platelets kept dropping and on the Fourth she started bleeding vaginally and hard and heavy that wouldn't stop so they took her back to the ER and gave her something called a Win-RHYO treatment and the next day did another blood test and her platelets are down to 7,000 (dropped a 1000 in one day) and should be above 40,000 so they are going to do lab work on Monday and if the treatment has not solved the problem do a bone marrow. My fear, of course, is leukemia. She is only 15.
Have a good day gals. I am going to get my downstairs chores finished and read until I can go to the pool and work off every nacho!
Oh and we had pork tenderloin with veggies that was really good last night. I had never cooked tenderloin and it was very tasty, moist and tender. Best of all, low in fat and calories.
