Well a quick note...sounds like you are all are the same doing great...going on trips, venting towards one another, getting gifts, loosing weight, it is great to read about you all...
I tried to go out tonight...hubby bought a 4 wheeler tonight and just couldn't do it without me...I agreed to go and he had to pick up the Subaru from its oil change..so I had to drive. I was so out of it he was really worried for a couple of hours after we got home..I was white as a ghost and only could eat and lay down...anyone watching IDOL?? I like Diane didn't care much for Fantasia would have rather seen Matt go through. Or Survivor?? A little too early to say anything about that show...though don't care for the nude Richard...
We have had 40 in the weather and everything is getting slick out because of melting and freezing. But we will take the nice weather...ok everyone else will I can't enjoy it yet. I will keep you posted...appt is tomorrow at 2 to see what the doc says. Hubby informed me today taht he has a mandatory meeting he has to be in at 2 (same time as my appt) Well I can't do that...and he realized that I can't do it alone after him taking me out last night...I am leaving it up to the Lord to work it out that this M meeting is not M for him and he can take care of me. We have had a dinner made for us every night Praise God..it has been so helpful for Don. My littlest one was throwing up yesterday that was not helpful at all...Well better get back to bed..need to to not continue this 2 am wake up thing...uuggh!
Great on teh weight loss guys...I love having a new oven (among everyting else new too) Rosey bless your heart...that sounded like an awful trip back home..and thankful we had a smooth trip back last weekend. I will keep your guys situation in prayer that Steve can just get to feeling better...I honestly believe in the power of prayer and the Lord can heal and do miracles...just a quick note..our Principals hubby was in Thailand on a missions trip over the holidays...he was on his last few days of the trip (1 month) and he fell through a roof on to a man (praise God he softened the blow) on to a cement floor...he fractured his head from top to bottom and they thought he broke his back...immediately they took him to Bangkok for medical assistance...She our principal was contacted and she got her bible out and found all the scriptures she could on prayer...she read them a couple of times and prayed; Lord you said you would help and answer prayer if we only asked and went to bed peacefully know the next time she got a phone call it would be a good report. Sure enough it was no broken back just a fracture and that the bleeding on the brain has stopped...he was in a deep sleep and we all began to pray for him to wake up with no pain or as minimal as much..the kids at school know how to pray..Well to make a LONG story short. He did wake up with no pain! She had to go over there to spend a few weeks with him until they realeased him and they did...he has not had one head ache on that huge fracture and everytime he has been seen by a doc they are amazed of his recovery..he has to wear a back brace for 12 weeks but that is ok..There were so many answered prayer. Now of course the good Lord does let things happen for us to grow and learn to become more closer to him but I would say that prayer is a comfort for us to do...especially if you document your prayers and then right down when they are answered...God Bless you all
Chat soon..

Sheree that was such a fulfilling post to read. It just opens your eyes even more so and I never cease to be amazed in the power of prayer. I pray things will work out with you just as well. I was shocked to see you had posted during the night for you guys. It's 10 a.m. as I read your post.

I got my pilates dvd's yesterday and watched the basic video today and did the 20 minute workout. Needless to say I have spaghetti legs now. Not the size of them but the strength of them. The commercial says to do that 3 times a week and for me, that's my only goal right now to at least stay on track and do that 3 times a week. I'm just so out of shape it's pathetic. I did write down measurements however in case I don't see any change on the scales.

Rosey I am so sorry you guys had to endure that. I can't even get over how you function normally with snow on the ground and it freezes our whole states of minds when we get flurries. :lol: Sheree is right though, God can and will take care of you guys and heal steve. You have to believe in that, have faith and keep on praying as we all will. I understand the pain he's in cause my dad had been there, done that and is still in awlful pain. He's addicted to heavy pain pills but won't admit it.

Summer I truly apologize for not mentioning your DH"s tests today. Thank you Donna for bringing that up. Jim will be fine and I know a load will be lifted once it's all over and he can relax and have some lunch with his beautiful and most caring wife in the world. I know he's going through it right now as I post and I will say a prayer for the both of you. Are you getting wintry weather today? I pray you get home safely just the same.

As for idol, I agree with sheree, I don't see why fantasia won over matt but I don't know why some of the others weren't in top 2 either. I liked the diane girl, she did great to be 16 but I can't make a decision yet on anyone until I see them sing songs they are asked to do, like different genres that showcase their voices. On survivor, I'm still disappointed that they voted off Tina so quickly and I do not care for the nudest, Richard either. :lol:

Well I have to get something accomplished today while I'm home alone. I have some racing to watch at 1 p.m. as well. I'm so thrilled my racing is back. :)

Hi everyone..thanks for all your kind words..that was an awful trip and soooo glad to be home..yes i pray for my dh recovery.. and for the pain to go away..its been along haul and not over yet..thru all of this i forget to take care of me.. the dr scolded me when i had surg about getting so wrapped up in my dh health problems that i forget myself..and when i try and express myself i feel so guilty..and the dh just doesnt get it :?: he so spoiled and i did it :lol: :?: :lol: ..we watched a new movie last night called Second Hand Lions..i highly recommend it..and its ok for kids to see too..sheree am so sorry you have been sick..hope the dr's can help..dana.. wtg on the exercise..ive been using my 2# weights and those bungie cord things..but standing or sitting..if i was on the floor it would take a sky crane to get me up :lol: also walking in the mall and at wall mart helps..are your legs sore??as far as the snow.. it doesnt stop us much.. they dont even close the schools..summer hopr jims tests go well.. am thinking good thoughts for you both..donna..wow you have your tickets allready..a honeymoon..i have never had one either..are you getting any new clothes.. a bikini maybe..daphnee happy anniversary..hope you get to celebrate it..kris..am thinking of you and hope you get that health thing worked out.. we are here for you..mr ken hello to you too..what other hobbies do you have?? do you watch these reality tv shows too..im hooked on survivor..this new one reminds me how i disliked some of those people :lol: :?: :lol: and rellay liked others like rupert and big tom..also wath idol but to soon to tell whos my favorite..well have sent the dh to town to return that movie.. so am going to take advantage of the quiet..check in later ((((((hugs)))))))) rosey :wave:

BTW, Dana who is the guy in your Avatar? :?: :dunno:

Hello Everyone..I am sorry that I didnt get in here untill now..I have been on the phone and returning calls..etc..
Jim is ok and we know nothing of the results.. We had to go to our Fav Dr and get some different sugar pills for Jim to take for the next 4 days..Something to do with the dye they inject for the scan.. and he has to have blood test on Monday..Something to do with the test..These all are normal things according to our Dr. I hate that we have to wait for results..we see our PC Wednesday and then we go to the Chemo Dr that ordered the scan next week..so he can give his oppinion....Also..Jims hernia is bigger and I know that surgery will be taking place..I am so worried about that and he is stressed over it..It seems like they fix one thing and something else happens..Sorry..Its just worry and stress..and of course I could not sleep last night..so I have been up for.... well toooooooooo long.. :tired: :stress: .....I year ago today Jim had Colon surgery..The Good Lord above heard all the prayers for him and pulled him through it and The Good Lord will again...He hears our prayers..I beleive that... I was also on the phone because poor Buddy is back in the hospital again..more intestant infections...Poor man..I will know more tomorrow..
Its been a rough day..but I will make it...

{{{{{{{Rosey}}}}}}}}}.. I am so sorry that I didnt see your post..I was having so much trouble getting in here the other day..I am so sorry that Steve needs a operation..Do you think its heriditary his back probs??
I know that its a very stressful time for you Sweetie :grouphug:..You cannot neglect yourself..I know its so easy to do..but you have special needs..like Diabetes...Thats so important...Please Take Care of you Rosey....
I have your hand.. Things will get better..and then you had all that scarey weather to drive back in and a earthquake too..Unreal.. :fr: I am so glad you made it home safe...I am sure you were happy to get home.. I know you are not wanting to go through more of the same being the caregiver..Its really hard.. I know....so anytime that you need to vent please just do it and if want to talk..email me your phone number I will call you My Dear Sweet Friend....Hang in there Rosey...it will get better..I will keep you both in my prayers :angel: :wave:

Donna..Thank-you for your sweet concern for us.. I didnt mean to worry you..Its just been a tough day..really.. I am so stressed out over all this worring about him again going in the hospital and things going wrong again.. I do believe that this hernia is a direct result of not proper closing him up..Thats why that hole happened when he threw-up..the one I had to dress for 8 months..so I am worried..He is stressed out over it all..Worrying about scan results and his hernia.. I dont let him see me this way..so worried and upset....I have to be strong for him....but I am soooo tired..Well one things for sure... I cant afford your Dad's Beach house.. :rofl: I am sorry that you have a bad cold.. I hope that you feel better real soon..Get plenty of rest and have some chicken soup.. I wish you were close I would make you some...Just keep thinking Bahama Mama...:lol:..Way to go on weight Loss too..:cp:

Dana...Thank-you for your Sweet concern for us..Please dont applogize its alright..You are always here for me and I appreciate that and such sweet things you said....Thank-you for all your prayers Sweetie....
We did go to lunch...It was ok..A new place....We had rotiserrie (sp) chicken and veg and salad..it was alright.. I like this other place for that chicken but he wanted to try this one.....No biggie...always good to try other places
We didnt get the snow they predicted this afternoon.. I was so happy for that..Jim wanted to get home to see the pre-race thing this afternoon..but he got to see some we had to go to the Dr.s' office and that held him up and then a few errands..Great picture of Dale JR...he is a cutie...He is in a good spot for Sunday... Jim is happy about that...
Way To Go on your weight loss too... :cp: It also sounds like you are into your Pilates tapes.. Thats Great.. :strong: You are doing it...I always knew you would...I am with Rosey..I dont think I could do those floor exercises
If I got on the floor to do them..they would have to call a Wrecker to get me up.. :rofl:

Sheree..It was so good to hear from you again..I am sorry that you are still so ill.. I will keep you in my prayers...That was a wonderful and amazing story about Faith... It shows that the Good Lord above does answer prayers.. I have always believed that...
I will say a prayer for your Principals continued recovery..I hope that your hubby can take you to the Dr tomorrow..if not that someone else can..You certainly cannot drive in your condition...Please take care of yourself and get plenty of rest and keep warm..You are also in my prayers to get better
Let us know what the Dr. says..when you can..:wave:

Daphne..I hope that all is well with you.. I dont think I saw a post from you today..I Miss you...:wave:

Kris.. I am sure you are busy getting ready for the ball...It almost like Cinderella...I am mean..its exciting...Have fun..:wave:

Mr Ken... Hope that you are keeping warm..Hows you weather????.:wave:

I hope that I have not missed anyone or anything that needed a answer... I am just so tired....and I need to go to bed...
If I am not in here tomorrow..I will try to come in on Sat..I have alot of things to do tomorrow...SO TGIF... :wave: :cb: :cp: :dancer: :flow2: :grouphug: :encore:

Well here it is again at taht 2 am hour...I am going to have to break this habit soon...I tried to not get up and just lay there..but for some unknown reason I have heart burn...all that fattening lasagna we have been eating..I need to get back on track of my food intake and drinking water and still rest...I need to not take advantage of the fact I am very sick to gain all my weight back...uugh!
Well the doc says he does not know what is wrong...I have no signs of a sinus infection but he put me on antiobiotics and another decongestent to rule out that for my head..he heard an irregular heart beat and therefore made me take an EKG which came out irregular and that is main well second concern was that my heart beat is TOO slow...it is beating from 42-52! That is why I am so tired and not able to function. You wouldn't recogonize me...I am emotional and tired...can't handle the loudness of the kids...the comotion of too many things going on around me...layng in bed this past week has been a blessing...My hubby and I have been really trying to see what the Lord is trying to tell us...he keeps telling me..my DH that is that I am not working next school year...ok what about now....so tentatively I got another sub for next week..the docs orders are for me to ease back into life and if I get too tired which I will to stop and lay down. I can't do that teaching. I still need to talk to the principal tomorrow to verify and actually may back out of the rest of the year...but of course I work to pay for my kids tuition..so the Lord will have to provide or bring in some other way to pay for that...sell one of the cars maybe...Well enough..thanks for our prayers and I will keep you guys informed...God bless and have a great day. chat soon..
ps my dh came in yesterday am before taking the kids to school and gave me a huge hug and said I rearrange my day so I can take you to the doctor..I was so relieved..last night we just layed in bed crying and holding each other it is very frustrating to NOT know what is going on...I said to him why are you crying he said I love you so much and needed to know you needed me there even though he just stood there over in the corner and didn't say much..I said I just needed you to be there for me..I do so much on my own and am so independently dependent if that makes sense..Just to tell you how bad my heart rate is..with out getting too personal...it didn't raise any after well you know...that was tiring too...but he has been such a big trooper and needs to feel loved not only told..ok I am sorry for going to far..

Sherry have you had your blood sugar tested? Some of your symptoms sound somewhat related to sugar control.

I have to get my kids up for school but wanted to comment on summer. I'm glad you posted to let us know things went fine and I believe that scan will prove that. Was jim on Glucophage or Metformin for his sugar? That's the one that has to be stopped after scans using iodine. It's just a precaution for your kidneys. It can help impair kidney function but after a few days of being off of that combination it will be safe to go back to the old stuff. Well I need to get off of here.

Sheree still praying for you girl. Hang in there!

BTW Donna, my picture is Dale Earnhardt Jr. Did you think it was my DH??? :lol:

thanks I will look into that...any angle is welcome...

Oh, my!!! I am so filled with grief for you all while reading this mornings posts. I have medicine head so bare with me if I start not making any sense.

{{{{{Sheree}}}}} Does your doctor suggest you see a cardiologist? It may you need a pace maker. OR I was even thinking about that Epstein Barr virus that gets you so fatigued you can't function. That happened to our preacher a couple years ago. It was very hard for him and he didn't preach for a good month or maybe longer. I'm so sorry,not knowing what's going on is the hardest part of any illness you or a loved one is going through. I am praying for you Sheree and your good husband. Just take one day at a time and keep looking UP for guidance. I wish I could do something for you to take away all this grief but I can't. All I can do is pray and that I will truly do.

{{{{Summer}}}} I was so happy to read something from you. I can not even imagine all that you are going through with those old feelings of fear creeping up. :grouphug: It's so hard to be so strong for Jim so he won't be so discouraged. Time will tell and I am praying for good results. As for the hernia, I'm so sorry but it may need to be removed. Will it be laproscopic? I know for hiatal hernias it is now. I need that surgery myself. Anyway, keep looking UP like Sheree is He will comfort and guide you. I feel so helpless for you, but I will do what I can and that is to pray.

Dana, to be quite honest with you I thought it was a picture of bell boy from a hotel. I was thinking "why would she have that" then I looked closer and saw it could of been Nascar racing stuff and being ignorant of the names, I felt that it was one of those guys! :lol: :rofl: No, I didn't even think it was your dh... LOL

Well, my certified certificate came today. It's really something that I DID have the copy just not that stupid seal punched in it. You really can read my copy I had better but the new one has that seal.

{{Rosey}} {{Sheree}} {{Summer}} special hugs for you three as you all are facing such troubles. I am praying for each of you for God to lay His hands on you and reveal Himself in a very special way.

Love,
Donna

Summer Bless you heart darlin. It does sure seem that when it rains it does pour with the health issues here. I hope that your DH gets good news and that he will be feeling more than 100% soon. How have you been doing? What have you done special just for you?
Sheree Wow I have no idea what to say to you. I would love to be tehre to help you with each day. What a sweet thing and caring and loving thing for the DH rearranging his day. I was really hoping and beliving that he would. I loved the *story* about the hmmmm cuddletime?? :o :) :love: It just goes to show how close we all are to each other to share that and know that it was a tender thing.
Ken OK why didn't you post more dude? :lol:
Kris tell us all ablout the dance! :spin: :dancer: What did you do an dhow much fun was it and did you dance all night and how was the dress and........
DOnna..... Miss Bahama Mama... :coach: :cheer: :tread: OK woman now you really have to stay focused and not sick and get a tan and wooohooooo. I am so happy for your trip. How many more days is it now? I am to lazy to scroll around! How is Elena doing this weekend?
OK We all went to breakfast for Valentines Day, and then went and did some stove comaprison shopping. We had gone to Home Depot and I found what I really wantd. It is a porch swing for the back yard. Jason hadn't bought me anything being as he wanted me to get what I really wanted. :lol: He has said he was going to get me flowers but thought they will be dead in 3 days so get what I want. :lol: My swing was more than the roses! We came home for a bit and took Robert to a Birthday party, then Jason Megan, and I went and did more stores. We went to Joaans Fabricks and I bought some cheap material to play with. Then we went to Walmart. I found my swing there it is so cool! It seats 3 and then you have an option to have it lay down and make like a bed with it. I love it! We are getting the stove at home depot tomorrow.
We raced home with Megan, I got ready and Jason went and got Robert from the party. Then we took the kids to the neighbors house. Jason and I got to go to Sears without kids and bought Megan some leggings on clearance and me 3 shiny silkish blouses. I got red, silver and gold! Then Jason and I went to dinner. :hungry: I got to eat :hungry: without kids! OK so then know what I do? I was dropping food on me allnight. It got to where Jason and I were just laughing about it. :lol: We came home then and he gave me his card for me and I gave him his giifts.
I had a bottle of wine, some chocolates, the movie Sweet Home Alabama, some naughty dice, and lottery tickets and a deck of cards that were actually fun. We did the pile of cards and laughed so hard it was just a great night. Then we ya know and then had to go get the kids. Jason had even parked in the carport on the far side of the house so noone knew we were home yet!

Hope Everyone had a GREAT VALENTINES DAY..........

Well mam oh man...I had this post done almost finished...and I went up to scroll to see if I missed anyone or anything and I hit a page and it is all gone now....uUGGHH!
Well I have had a odd weekend..I am awake because I am all jittery and nervous inside..I am supposing it is from the decongestant...I ended up back in the hospital on Saturday...the viral thing has moved into myalgia attacking my muscles now instead of my joints..my heart beat was up on Saturday but usually sits at 50-55..I am so mad that I hit that now I can't remember everything I wrote...
Thanks for all your prayers...my mom is ready to get on a plane..don is scheduled to go out to the field on Thursday for a week and she is worreid I am going to be taking on too much too soon...which is possible since I have not driven yet or made dinner in a week...
Rosey prayers to you guys...hope you find out the answers you are looking for
Summer you too...sounds liek you had a good gift exchange.
Daphne you go girl...you are doing really well with your hubby.sounds like a great night..
Donna I did have that Eppstien test taken a week ago and as of Thursday the results were not back...it does sound like I may have that except for the heart thing..will keep you posted.
Glenn..you hang in there and you are doing great with sticking to program and keep trucking toward your goal...me on the other hand. I am afraid to get on teh scale...I am going on THursday unless totally bedridden.to step on the scale...I am very bloated and know the weight has to be up...Ok this must be the short version you all get and I am sorry I goofed up and lsot it...take care and will be back....

Sheree I'm really concerned for you and hope that something positive happens for you medically speaking. I guess it's confusing to me and I can't imagine how it feels for you. I pray for your recovery of course. Hang in there. Don't worry about that weight one way or the other. You are on top of that and you've proved that already.

Summer yes I have been on cloud 9 with our man! I've seen him on the Today show already this morning and he's fixing to be on Regis. I'm so proud of him as we all are. He's handling this interviewing stuff really maturely too. I'm just so proud of how it hasn't all "went to his head". You're doing a great job with keeping your head held high but keeping your DH from worrying as much as possible. Things will be fine on that end but I know you can't help but thinking about it. I'm praying for you and Jim.

Donna I hope things are ok with you. Looks like we may escape this storm moving up the coast. (by the way summer, myrtle beach had some wintry weather this morning :lol: ) I really wish we could have a good snow and enough with this teasing. My kids are out of school today for inservice and my nephew is staying with us again. They just went outside and it's like 32 degrees. I hope that doesn't last long. Do you still do your pilates?

Daphne did you get your stove or swing? I laughed at your last post. The things that most of us "keep quite" about, you go right on and share don't you. :lol: (btw you better go post on the other thread, gayle feels alone). :)

Rosey I'm sure your neices baby will be fine. If they have to take it, it's far enough along that it will probably just need a couple extra days in the hospital before coming home. I bet it will be about 4 1/2 to 5 pounds. Keep us updated though. Do you keep a notebook of all of your relatives and friends to keep up with who is sick with what? I'm not teasing, how do you remember it all? I always ask my grandmother that. She's constantly telling me about her siblings or inlaws or something and I don't know how she keeps it straight. I pray everything will work out and everyone will be fine. Take care of "Rosey" too!

I have my weigh in tomorrow morning if I don't forget. I started my pilates on thursday and I did it on friday and skipped the weekend and did it yesterday. I had read to do it 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week so that is my minimal. Right now, I'm 3 out of 6 days but I plan on doing it today after my nephew leaves. Logan wants to do it with me.

Well I hope everyone is hanging in there. I need to see what the boys are into outside.

Dana, I'm right with you on not being able to keep up with all the needs in our families lately. :crazy: Yes, I do still do my pilates but not as much as I should. Lately I have been fighting a cold so it is about gone but didn't have much energy to do anything as of exercise. I had to laugh at your comment to Daphne for being so candid on issues we usually keep quiet about. :lol: :rofl: I myself was just thinking if Suzanne and other people from this thread often read our posts and shake their heads ... :lol: :dizzy: :rofl: I guess it reminded me how public this forum is. So, I guess that's why I do keep some things to myself! To protect those involved. LOL Not saying that we shouldn't stop being candid, it was just too funny to me at the time. :)
Summer, your valentines gifts along with Daphne's sound wonderful! We didn't exchange gifts because of the upcoming trip. That is my valentines gift! ;) I sure pray you will receive good news this week and I know you are looking forward in getting started at the Gym on March 1st. :cp: :cb:
Sheree, I just wish there was something we could do for you. You are in my prayers and I think it's a good idea for your Mom to come help you out.
Hello to the rest and have a good day. I need to do laundry.... LOL
Donna

Hi everyone..its so nice to read about all of you and your kind support..sometimes its the hilite of my day to see what you all are up too..and daphnee your candor is refreshing and gave me a chuckle too :lol: we got home late last nite and the roads were good ..just tired from the trip..the dh will have surg in march.. it will be a fishion and by the looks of the model that the dr showed us and what he said it will be painful.. and initial recovery 3 months and then once a full yr is up the fushion should be comlete..so we are preparing ourselves for the long haul..my dh friends are comming to get him in the morning and taking him out to a cabin where they are going to do male bonding and plat cards and come back the next day..this is the best medicine for him and hes so excited to go..hes always been an active outdoor guy and has missed that part of his life.. and i get some alone time...yay for me!!!!sheree.. i too am worried for you.. have the dr found anything yet.. have they checked your thyroid??.. am glad your mom is coming..(((((((hugs for you ))))))))..donna your trip sounds like so much fun.. ill bet you are excited..dana.. thanks for the heads up on my neice.. shes now home but being watched close.. shes due the end of march.. and my mom id doing great walking without her walker or cane and even drove herself to the store.. at 82 shes really independent..my bil is home and doing well too..kris.. how was the dance?? did you have fun??summer have you got the test results back yet??have fun at your gig this week..mr ken sorry for the gain..you will get it off this week i know and every time i look at the snowman on my deck i think of you lol..its a beautiful day here.. sunny and melting..will check in later((((((hugs))))))) rosey:wave:

Hey guys...
been really busy. the dance is this coming monday. i fly out on thursday and i have 4 papers due thursday. WOW! hope all are well. will tell more later.

Quick post....

Weigh in today....

I reached my goal! :encore: :encore: :cheers: :bravo: :bravo:

Well Donna congratulations and we've enjoyed having you on our thread..... :lol: I guess you're moving on to the "skinny board". :lol: Just teasing. How much did you lose for the week? I actually gained a pound back this week. I haven't done anything really different this past week to gain and didn't have all the sweets like the week before so I am chalking this one up to pilates and my muscles building in my stomach. :lol: I just do the 20 minute dvd. Have you got through the longer one? I had a rough night to say the least. Severe heartburn which I contribute to the onion on the hamburgers we made and it ended up making me throw up at 3 a.m. and my stomach still isn't feeling right after taking antacids. It will have to improve before I lay in the floor for pilates today.

Well I am home alone and have house work that I'm behind on. DH will be home tomorrow and will fuss if I dare leave it for him to do. Today the boys stay late at school for the first time at one time so laken gets out at 2:55, Logan at 3:20 and Brett at 4:00. If it weren't for laken getting impatient, I would just stay there in the parking lot.

Hello Everyone...Sorry that I didnt post yesterday..So much going on..I had a meeting with a Elk friend about doing some music at their Lodge..so I hope that I hear something soon..I had to go proof my DJ cards at the printers and more errands to run..Atleast it was a nice day..like today sunny but chilly..Today we go to the Dr and see about Jims scan results and the hernia..I am praying for good results to it all..

Daphne...I wanted to let you know that I got your card for Buddy Yesterday..That was so thoughtfull of you..Thank-you so much for being so Sweet..:love:.....I took it to Buddy and he was so moved that someone he doesnt know sent him a card..

I have never seen snow at the beach before..Sorry that you are not feeling well. I hope that you feel better as the day goes on..I find that alot of things dont agree with me that I use to be able to eat..Have you tried the little purple pill??
The Doctor gave it us its called Nexium..It is wonderful for heartburn..or acid reflux..it really works...It really works fast too..
You are doing so good with your Pilates..Way to go...I cant wait to get to the gym..

thanks, you all for your kind words! I hope that I'm still welcomed on this thread, Dana! LOL I have a hard job of a trial period of 3 weeks coming up. I have to keep it within 2 pounds at least of my goal weight and adjust my target point as needed. No more flex points... :crazy:
Summer.... I was hoping to see a post from you this morning. I am praying for you and Jim.
Dana, I'm sorry about your problem the night before. I hope that is better now.
I am a lot to do but wanted to say hello.
Talk to you all soon.

Hello Everyone...I am so sorry that I didnt get to post last night..I tried but I couldnt get it to work right..It was like the thread was down..I dont know..
We got good news...Jims scans were all good.. The only thing is I have to get a copy of his chest xray from 2 years ago..They saw something but the Dr said diffently not cancer..Its like a scar from when Jim had Phenumia as a child or something like that..They need the old xray to compare it..He said for us not to worry about it..He had a long medical name for it that I cannot pronounce...All in all it was great news..The only other thing..He has to have the Hernia operated on..Unfortunally..Jim is so upset over that..and I cant blame him after all he has been through..We have to get a consultation with the surgeon soon and take it from there..The only good thing its out patient surgery.. He will come home after it..Thank-Goodness..It will not be done
Lipposcopic (sp )..I was suprised that he can come home..but our Dr said they have improved this from years ago and we will learn more when we see the surgeon...It still scarey..Another surgery..
I will be back later this evening..I have so many errands to run today..
Thank-you ALL for all your caring and Concern for Jim......
You ALL are The Best...
God Bless ALL of you
I am so blessed with your friendships.....
Hope all of you have a great day..Sorry that I have to run...
I will talk to each of you later this evening..
Lots of :love: :wave:

Summer I am so happy to hear Jims news that I have tears in my eyes now. What a blessing to have good noews for a change. I am so sorry about the hernia operation but that is so minor with what you have been going thru. How excited are both of you for this summer and all the pool parties? Please keep us posted on how he is doing as well as you.
Donna ^5 on meeting your goal. I am so happy for you. Miss Bahama Mama. DId you buy any clothing yet? :lol: Remember we don't want you buying a lot of sarongs in the Bahamas now and not using them when you get home!:lol: :lol: :lol:
Dana I hope that you are feeling better today. How is it having kids and Kevin all gone? I sure do love my quiet time. When is the next race? Do you collect the Nascar merchandise? I am always seeing stuff and thinking *I wonder if Dana would like this?*
Rosey how wonderful for you to get to share a craft with someone that you love! Make that a craft that you love and are wonderful at with a loved one. I bet you are lovong this quiet time today. When is that DH going to be home? What are you going to do all day and night? What will you have for dinner now?
Kris I am so sorry about having the dance wrong. Guess I am OLD! Please take pictures and show us how you look all dolled up!
Glen I love sphagetti. How is the weightloss going this week?
I just love embossing. I have like 8 different powders now. I just bought hot pink and purple last week. I have silver, gold, shimmery color, green, red, and I think dark blue. My favorite is still the gold. I think I love watching it melt the most of all the colors!
OK I will try and post again later but it is harder with Jason home this and next week. He thinks it is a waste of time being on line. He doesn't realise that it is one of my few pleasures lately. I have been playing yahoo scrabble with a few friends. It does make my mind work as well as i get to chat with friends. He is out there with adults all the time. I am here alone all the time and I am the *social butterfly*.
Love ya all, Daphne

{{{Summer}}} I'm so happy for the great report you received yesterday! I am so relieved! A little advice about the laproscripic surgery thought. That is how I had my gall bladder removed and the recovery time of course was very quick but please promise me if he is in a lot of pain after the surgery even if they think he should come home, ask if it would be possible if he could stay over-night. I wish I had because I was in such horrible pain that evening and really should of stayed on. He will be fine though and of course his incision is different than mine was.
Hello, social butterfly dana!!!! :lol: :rofl: No, haven't bought any clothes yet. I have been so busy with other things haven't been able to get out. I will get out though and probably this weekend.
Kris, I am sorry about getting the dance mixed up. I wasn't thinking it would be this weekend. I have not been to any Mardi Gras balls but I have been to St. Patricks Day ones and it was a couple of weeks before the actual day so I guess I was thinking it was like that. I know you will look beautiful and have a great time.
Need to go. I will post later. :write: :blah:

Daphne..You are such a Sweetie....Thank-you so very much for all your wonderful support and carring..Again I want to say how nice that was of you to send Buddy that card..He was so touched by your kindness and so was I..
You are wonderful person and I am very blessed to call you my friend..
Yes I will admit I really cant wait for summer time this year..I cant wait to be with all the great pool people..We have had so much fun in the past..I went to a meeting and they are having a big party in July..I am not sure if its the 4th or not that has not been decided yet..I just want to be able to go..Soooooooo its to the gym for me..:tread:...It so nice to hear how your embossing craft makes you so happy..I am glad that you have a hobby that you enjoy so much...I can imagine it is hard being home with children all the time when you are a "Social Buttererfly" and a really Sweet one I must say..
I hope that you get to go out more and Socialize....I think everyone needs that...I know that when I was home most of the time last year it was hard..
We will have to play cards sometime on Yahoo...I am not to good at scrabble....old age :lol:....but I do like cards..Have a great evening :wave:

Donna...Thank-you again for all your wonderful support and caring..I am gonna have a very long talk with the Surgeon when we see him and go over all the ends and outs of this surgery.. He needs to know that Jim had been through so very much and I know I am not the Dr..but I know whats best for him...I have seen and been through enough to know...So I will check all of this out before hand.. Our Dr. Said Jim was to Big for Liposcopic surgery. He said they would prob use the old incission from Colon surgery..but I think there is way to much scar tissue for that..Anyway I will talk all that over with the surgeon..I am fully prepared to be demanding about it all..Or I will go to someone else..This Surgeon that our Dr recominded is supoose to be the Best in his field and done zillions of Herina operations..so we shall see..I do remember you were in alot of pain after coming home....I am so happy that you came through it all alright....I wont let that happen to Jim...I will be a :drill: :sumo: :rollpin: whatever it takes..
Well Miss Bahama Mama..I am so excited for you..I cant wait to see pictures..

Rosey.. Thank-you again for all your wondeful support and caring..I still have your hand..:angel: You are right about how far medicine and procedures have come over the years...It amazing at times what they can do now days.... I am glad that Steve's Buddies took him to the cabin..I am sure he was happy to go.You GO Girl having time to yourself.. I know thats so important..We all need some of that from time to time..I am glad that you and your DD have something to share..That makes so many memories to last forever...Sounds like you are enjoying yourself..and thats really great...so you take "YOUR" time...while you have it...Have a great evening :wave:

Dana...Where are you???? I miss you...:wave:

Sheree.. I hope that your Mom is there taking care of you..Please take care of yourself and feel better real soon...I have you in my prayers :angel : :wave:

Mr Ken..Thank-you for all your Support and caring..I really appreciate it.
How do you fix your Spagetti??? What do you put in your sauce???? :wave:

Hi guys. There really isn't nothing to report here. I don't stay online much at a time due to my internet call waiting keeps shutting down and if it's during school time, like now, I try to limit it in case someone needs to get through, otherwise they get a busy signal. It's really crazy with all we have on our phone but that's the disadvantage of having dial up.

Summer it sounds like most of your news was positive and I do believe what is left to do is just a small piece of what you've been through. Anyone who's been through chemo can look at hernia surgery as something relatively small. I recall Brett my oldest at 5 weeks old had to have stomach surgery which was similiar to the hernia thing and he came home the next day. I was a mess but he never cried like he hurt or anything. They put a bandaid on it too. Of course he was much smaller than jim but it surprised me that they sent him home less than 24 hours after being put to sleep. Jim will be fine though and so will you. Hope you enjoy that Moose gig and hope many more to come.

Donna did you ever tell us how much you lost this past week to reach your goal? I had a gain of course but it was small but then again all of my losses are the same size. I lose 2 pounds and then gain 1.5 back so that it's only .5 loss. :shrug: BTW it was daphne who was the "social butterfly". :lol: I read your post and couldn't figure out why you referred to me as that and didn't know that daphne had posted. I finally at another time, scrolled back up to see what I missed and found it.

Rosey my CTMH packages are scheduled to be here monday. It has taken 2 weeks from tomorrow and I paid nearly $10 extra for 2nd air. Needless to say, I'm excited to see it but getting a little too anxious at this long wait. I haven't received my Darcie's stamps yet either but got a UPS tracking on them and they are suppose to get here on monday as well. If so, Monday will seem a bit like christmas to me!

Daphne gold is my favorite to emboss with too. It looks more smoother and professional but I don't know if it's the color or brand. Did you get yours from walmart? That brand to me is the best but our walmart only carries the gold. I have a silver that's almost as neat looking. I had sold 4 shades of blues last week on ebay cause they just wouldn't work right for me. I need to go to michaels sometime and get a few more jars. I wish you could order them online. Tell me more about yahoo games. I would love to play with you sometime. I consider myself pretty good at scrabble. :lol: I think Jason is jealous of the internet. My DH is a lot that way but not as much as he used to be. As long as he has a movie or better yet, isn't here, he doesn't care. Much like now, he's working with a friend and then he has a 3 day weekend of 12 hours each day to work. It's so pretty here weather wise. It was near 70 yesterday but as soon as the sun went down, it was too cool for me to enjoy it. I'm about ready to start camping again.

Sheree I hope you are resting and recovering. You're certainly in my thoughts and prayers.

Glen, good luck on your weigh in tomorrow. I bet it's gonna be big as long as you didn't eat all the valentine candy in one day now.

Kris I know you're excited and you don't need me to tell you to share a picture with us cause the rest of them have begged already haven't they!

This old man who lives up the road from us has just about build a "general store" or at least that is what the building permit at the courthouse says according to neighbors. We live in the country so it really looks strange. It's almost in front of a baptist church and everyone including the church thought it was a place for prayer meetings or gatherings. Well it turns out that not only is my DH distantly related, (we're all smith's) but DH also knew him back when he (DH) was "separated" from our family. The man is a mad-man. They had a huge party sat. night and was drinking galore. It was his wife's birthday party and while they were dancing, she fell over dead from a heart attack. It looks rather suspicious because rumor has it, he has another woman on the side. Anyway, now we hear that he plans on applying for a beer license soon and they are petitioning to keep it from happening. It's already a mad house and you can actually see if from my yard so it's too close for comfort here.

Anyway, that's all that's going on here. I need to do my pilates while I'm alone but will have to change from my jeans to sweats in order to stretch. :lol: I have had the pilates for 9 days now and have managed to actually do them for 6 days not including today which I plan on doing. I think that's not too bad. I can already tell it as far as having stronger stomach muscles cause some of the exercises, I couldn't do and now I can. It says in 10 sessions you will feel the difference and in 20 you can see the difference. We shall see.

My sincere apologies to you Dana for getting the D names mixed up again! I was really thinking Daphne but typed Dana. :sorry: I lost 3 1/2 pounds to reach the goal, Dana. It was probably because I have been batteling a cold and haven't had a appetite like I usually do but hey, I'll accept it and will take it from there. So far, I have not gained so this is good! I tell you you will see results from your Pilates BEFORE the twenty sessions, Dana. I absolutely love Pilates. Sounds like a Peyton place over there with that "establishment". I sure hope it works out. Our neighborhood is still going to court over this "garage" that a neighbor was building that is definately not just a garage. It is actually bigger than a jiffy lube and down the hill on the next lot next to his house even. So ugly, and it's been there just framed for I would say a year now.
Summer, ask those questions. :yes: I know he is upset about it and I can see how anything else happening would upset him. Jim-D is that way about the simpliest things to not wanting it to lead to something else. We must have faith that Jim is in God's hands and he will see him through this just like the chemo. :grouphug:
Rosey, Alone time!!! NICE I bet you were so relaxed without a care in the world! :cloud9: I enjoy my "me" time as well. When does Steve return home? Maybe when he comes back home he will be refreshed as well. I'm praying for him as well with his surgeries that are coming up.
Well, I wasn't going to tell you all but I guess I will. I am going to have to end up having surgery on my elbow. :( After two rounds of cortizone shots it is still hurting me and the surgery is scheduled for March 17th. (St. Patricks day) I'll be wearing a green hospital gown that day! LOL Naw, really it is outpatient surgery just a one inch incision and the success of the surgery is very high. I should not have any problems with it. They wanted to do before our trip but I didn't want to be wearing a cast or whatever while trying to snorkle! :lol: :rofl:
Well, need to go now and mail 15 family newsletters I just wrote up.
Talk to you all later.
Donna
