Angela, sorry about the unill but I know how much better you must be feeling. I had 4cc's taken out before my surgery and my aspiration problems have gone away. I love it but know I still need to have my hernia repaired. I go see the Doc this next monday. But in the mean-time I have had to work really hard at not eating everything I can get my hands on. It is so hard. I try to do the WW mindset and watch my calories. That seems to help a little. Good luck to you. Jenn, I don't know if it is as hot there as it is here but becareful working so much in the heat. And have a great time at the Zac Brown concert. That sounds like so much fun. They look like they would put on a great concert. Kids are almost back to school here. Love it. Cindy, I still remember enough spanish from living in L.A. to get by with. I understand it a little better than I can speak it. But I would love to be very fluent at it. Hi Tracy. Off to work, have a great day.

A new day started today. I have an appointment next Monday with the Band Doc. I am going to try very hard to loose a few of the ten pounds I gained after surgery. So today was a very good day. Even eating the food at the funeral. I stuck to veggies and fruits but I did have a very small brownie. Dinner was a yogurt and I've had a few pretzels to snack on. So one day down 6 more to go. I hope Kat is having a spectacular time. What's everyone been up too?

I think I'm in love with Angela. :thumbup:

Hey Girls, very long day here today and I'm ready for bed right now. I'm pooped. I woke up around 3am and had the worst throbbing in my knee area. Never did figure out wht was going on. I got up and finally put some Ben-Gay on and went back to bed to only read for about an hour. Finally got to sleep and then the alarm went of at 6:30. Holy crap. So drag my fanny out of bed and take a shower. I went to Wal-Mart about 7:45. Came home and hubby was ready to go. We unloaded the stuff and then took of for Lone Jack. Powell Gardens is having their Butterfly Festival. We had such a good time and hubby behaved himself. No bugging me to leave. We did do a lot of walking tho. Came home and we swam for about 4 hours. In and out of the pool, but mostly in. It is really hot out today. The sun is a scorcher. Here's a few pics from today. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Off to go play cards. Tracy, Tell Macy Happy Birthday. How was her party? I hope she had a great time. Wish you could save me a piece of cake.
-
Hope all goes well with the Party. Hang tight. Home from work and I'm going to rest for awhile. My knee is killing me and I just want to rest it. So here I sit.

Morning. I went to bed at 8:30pm last night. I could hardly keep my eyes open. I woke up at 6am this morning. I guess I was one tired girl. Now I need to get ready for a 3 hour shift at work. Tracy, One time wehn we lived in an apartment my sister was staying with us.We were on the ground floor and never really had any problems with our neighbor upstairs but the guys next to us partied like crazy till 3-4am. We never heard them, our bedroom was on the other side but my sister was sleeping in the living room and they would keep her up all night. I politely wrote a note asking them if they could keep the noise down for us working folks. I taped it to their door. We never had a problem with them after that. I didn't want to go to management, I wanted them to know that we could settle this ourselves. But had they not calmed down I would have stepped it up. They would have found out what it would have been liked to be woken up after an all night party. :party: Tonight is card night. I just found out I have to bring the chees dip and chips. Off to the store I go. lol. Have a great weekend everyone.

Terri, that is good news about the 25 pounds, congrats. Enjoy your company wile they are there.

I've heard that about the heart monitor, that you hook it up to the phone. That is so cool. We will try very hard to make it your way Tracy and Angela. But with my surgery I'm not wanting to push myself. We will see how I feel after we leave Kats. Cindy, hope your mouth gets to feeling better now. Sweet dreams tonight about the Doc. lol. Kat, have a great time and if you get a chance, check in. We will miss you till you get home safely. But have fun.

Hey girls. Home from a very busy morning. The first Thursday is always our Family Breakfast. We had a great time. Left there and went to the pool store to return my goggles. I bought them last monday and tried them out and they leaked, so I replaced them. From there we drove to the Doc's office and sat for 1 1/2 till we got in. His assistant came in and we went over everything. All is good. So I was released from him. I still have the restrictions but I don't need to go back unless something (God forbid) comes up. Good news. Now I'm resting for awhile before I have to go into work at 3pm. No swimming today. Michelle, we had a vinyl fence put in for about 1/3 of our yard. It was over 3 thousand for that. I called and got an estimate for the rest of the yard and they wanted over 8 thousand for it. My BIL said he could install it so we bought the supplies from the company and paid a little over 3 thousand for the materials. I wanted a wood fence but hubby and the fence guy talked me into the vinyl. Glad they did, no more animals in our back yard. They can't climb it. I love the privacy but miss the openess of the chainlink. Who knew fencing was so expensive. Kat, you getting excited about your trip? Also, sometime in the next few weeks can you pm me a list of Motels in your area? See ya tonight after I get home from work.

Hubby and I both know that every time he leaves that anything can happen while he is on the bike. I think right now he is just spooked by the last couple of events that have happened. He will find his time again. I know that I'm going to pay more attention to riders while I'm out. More than I have before. Went to work tonight and they called for another body bag. I instantly volunteered to take it. They were kinda freaked out about it. I told them that I hope that when my time comes that I hope that there are compassionate peopl like me around. People that care for people that they have never met but still feel saddened by there passing enought to help out. I love my job. The weather out is just perfect for swimming but I went and had my hair done today. Not sure I want to get chlorine on my new color yet. When I was laying there and she was washing my hair she told me not to move, that she was going to wax my brows. What??? My hair is so light that no one sees my brows. So she even dyed them to mach my hair and then waxed them. OMG. Not sure I want to have that done again, lol. It really wasn't that bad, just freaky.

Oh and I'm not sure I mentioned this. I have a nephew on my husbands side that will be banded on the 31st. By my Doc. Him and his wife have a set of 8 year old twins and then 3 years later were blessed with another set of twins. Holy Cow, could you imagine. Anyway, they are all great kids and I love them dearly. My nephew decided that he needed to get his health under control so that he will be there for them as they grow.

Jenn, I must be one of the last people on earth that does not have a tattoo. And never will have one. But I am totally facinated by them. When I am with some one that has one I study it alot. I love the coloring and the stories behind them. Hubby and I just got home from the gym, yes I said the gym. First time since my surgery. Alls I did was walk on the treadmill and it felt good. My partner that's always there when I work out was there a surprised like heck when he walked in the door. I'm really glad that I went because it is hot and humid outside and I wasn't looking forward to a mile walk in that junk. Kat. I love the pics you have posted on FB. I could see you sleeping on that bike. It looks so comfortable. Did I tell you that last week we found out that a guy we work out with was killed on his way to work on his bike? Hubby took it pretty hard especially with the BIL still in the hospital after his Bike accident. So we were walking to the car in the garage and passed by the bike and I told him that if he never road again that it would be fine with me. I would not blame him. But I want him to take his time and feel good about getting back on it. I also told him that if he decided to never ride again that we were not going to sell the bike. I gave that to him for our 20th wedding anniversary and it holds special meaning to us. Plus it is a 100th edition Harley. So it's not going anywhere. Has anyone heard from Bethany in a while? Michelle, How's retirement going, lol? You enjoyng a little freedom for awhile? Have fun. Hi Cindy, When is back to school for you? Kids start here on the 18th. I'm excited. Angela, When I know when we will be in your area I will let Tracy know and you guys can figure out where to meet up. I'm not sure if it will be an overnight stay or just a few hours. I'll keep you guys posted. I have an appointment to have my hair colored and cut at 10am. Then it's our dya to work at the hospital. I'll check in later.
-
Good Luck tomorrow Tracy. Boy it's been a long time for this appointment. I hope yours goes as well as mine did. Keep us posted.
-
Worked, took Sis to Doc's. Took Sis to store and Post Office. Grabbed hubby and went to vote. Came home and ate a little lunch, laid and watched a movie with Hubby and now back to work. And DANG it's hot out there today. Hope you all are having a good one.

Home form work and very tired. I didn't sleep well last night. Oh well. Hubby and I are going to take off here soon and go shopping for pool stuff. We need to replace a few things. Then after that we will stop at Side Pockets to get our $5 bacon cheeseburger and fries. Thank to the Royals for winning, lol. Michelle, that is horrible about the amount you have to pay. Just me and hubby and our 2 vehicles run us about $600 a year. And that is with a $250 deductible. Tracy, Crap on who ever is doing that to you. You should feel free to come here and tell us what you need to say. But I do understand. So I will await your PM's and see you on FB. Boss came into work this morning from her vacation and I talked to her about taking the last Thursday of our vacation. That gives us 4 extra days. I'm so excited about that. I just wasn't looking forward to being rushed. So now we should have time to stop in Palm Spring, Phoenix, Aztec and Pasadena Tex. I'm still working on the dates but hope it all works out. Terri, How's it going with the new Band? Hope you are doing great.
-
Tracy, are you using the same Doctor who did your Band to do the BY-pass? It sounds like it. You say you feel like you let him down but that he is there for you. Just wondering. Which ever way you decide to go I applaud you. Just putting your health in priority is huge. Women tend to put it last behind their husbands and kids. Good luck.
-
Jenn, tell your daughter that I said "Happy Birthday". Hope you all have a great day.
-
Tracy, a girl I know had the by-pass and lost all her weight to ony regain a lot of it back. She then went in to have the band and has lost all of the weight again. Can you find out if you can still keep the band and then have the by-pass? I'm not sure they can do that but I would think if they can put the band on after a by-pass that they should be able to leave yours in.
-
Good Luck Tracy, Keep us posted on all the new info you find out.

Hey girls. Busy day today. Yesterday I had went tot he Docs to get something for the spasms in my back. He gave me some stuff to take. It comes in 10mg tablets and I'm to cut it in half and take 5mg 3X's a day. So I took one last evening, went to bed at 10pm and didn't get up till 8am. Knocked me out. I'm only going to take it at night from now on. We got up and did some housework and then got ready to head to the hospital. We took BIL's brother out to lunch and had a good talk with him about Randy and what is going to happen to him. Looks like the brother will eventually move him down to New Orleans. He's got a long road ahead of him. They actually had him sitting on the side of the bed today for about 2 minutes when he started to lean over. Hubby went to work out this morning and came home with some bad news. One of the guys that he met there passed away Tuesday. He would always come in and give hubby a bad time about when he was going to ride his Harley in, always teasing him about it. The guy would always ride his bike in if the weather was good. Well tuesday he died riding his Harley. That's 2 tragedies here recently for us. I told hubby if he never road his bike again that I would not be upset. But I didn't think we need to sell the bike. He has always been the kind that says that as long as he owns one, he is ok. Got home and the neighbors came over to swim. We were in the pool for almost 2 hours. They are gone now and hubby and I heated up our leftovers. Now it is just chillin time.

Thanks Jenn, You have a great day also. Sitting here trying to wake up. I'm off to the Docs here soon. Than I need to go grocery shopping for my sis and take it over to her place. Then home. But I have to work later today. Last night at work we had a very interesting discussion on being Gay. We discussed the fact that if you had relations with a person and were even married for years and then divorced and then moved on to a same sex person, that you are not gay. It was really interesting to get everyone's view of it. One day last week they were discussing it on "The View". Hot, Hot and more Hot today and for the next week. Yup, it's still July here. I'll check in later. Have a great day.

Hey Girls. Very long day and I am totally exhausted. I went back to work at the hospital. Didn't work a full shift, I pooped out after about 4 1/2 hours. But it did feel really good to be back. And they missed us so much. Michelle, so sorry about the job. You were so excited about getting it. Maybe something better will pop up. Kat, I don't need a t-shirt. I'll pick up one or two on our trip But I am getting jealous of your trip, sounds like too much fun. Tracy, Can you put a hot pack on your neck? I hate when I do that and don't realize it till I go to turn my head for something, ouch. Angela, Please don't let the sister interfere with you relationship with your dad. You still have a long road to travel to get a good relationship, don't let her undermine it. Maybe she will eventually come around. Terrie, Hi. Hope you are still mending good. I'm so jealous of your newness. Ok, I took some Loratab and now I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open. Heading off to bed soon. I have a Doc appointment at 8am. I need to see about some muscle relaxers. I have been getting spasms in my back. Not sure if it is related to the surgery or not. Have a great one.

Home from work and sisters. Just chillin out for a little than we are headed into the pool. We'll be busy for the next few days, so we have to get our time in now. Kat, any problems since you put the alarms in? Terri, sounds like things are going well so far with the banding. I know it's hard but you can do this. Losing weight with the band is the easy part. Keeping yourself from over doing it is the hardest. I even find myself eating things that I should not but do thinking that if I eat a little it won't hurt. Well actually it does. Because I always want more. Good luck.

Happy Birthday, Michelle. And Many More.
