:seeya: Here I am! So sorry about just now checking in. I have been so tired. Just *visiting* a hospital tires me out but this was a whole new level. Here is the whole story~ Tuesday about 4 o'clock, macy and i were grocery shopping and when i loaded the groceries into the van i closed the door and thought 'wow, my chest hurts', and i was out of breath. So i sat there with the ac on full blast and caught my breath and was driving home and the pains in my chest never went away. I call dh at work and tell him, he said he would TRY to call me later and i told him to forget about it, i would just make sure macy knows how to dial 911. SO...i put up the groceries, the pains got worse, i felt like i had just ran a marathon, i get the phone and sit down, call macy in the room and gave her a crash course on how to dial 911 and made sure she knew our address. LONG story short, i polled the audience and was brought to the urgent care facility where (it just so happens) my best friend is there also! Coincidence....anyway.....they do blood work, x-rays, urinalysis, ekg and the dr comes in to inform me that they do not find anything wrong BUT, if I wanted to rule out a heart attack, then i should be transferred to the hospital and have blood drawn every so many hours to make sure. SO, i decided i did not want to be the person you hear about that *could have* done something but just blew it off. Considering it is my heart we are dealing with, i decided to take the safest route. The hospital dr did not come in to see me until 5 or so yesterday evening...can u believe? :crying: Anyway, he was in the room a total of about 3 minutes and he tells me he sees nothing wrong (thank God) and that i should see my family doc because he thinks it is an anxiety problem. (ya think? ) So here i am at home, my mom took macy home with her, dh is at work and i am about to catch up on some MUCH needed sleep. Good news, I have been really focucsing on what i have been eating so I will prob weigh this weekend and see some good results. Thank you all SO much for the prayers. I may not tell you all enough but you all inspire me. Thank you. :frown: :wub: Pill:30 :Yawn: Terri...I have met Kat. I can not wait to see her again! And I get to meet Angela soon :eek:

GEEEZ that post was enormous! My fingers are crossed Suzanne!!

Ok girls, lots of running around and numerous phone calls and this is where we stand right now. The Doc that ordered the test has read the report and is not concerned and has signed off, she however is sending the report to my GP for him to decide if I need to go see a Cardiologist. She said that my valves and arteries looked good. There is a slight diminish in the heart beat but nothing that should be of any concern. She would just like for me to do a quick follow up with a Cardio Doc. In a little bit I will call my GP and talk to the nurse. She has already been informed about what is going on. But I will check with her and see if she can get me in as soon as she can. Not sure I will get all of this done in time for surgery this thursday, looks like it will probably be next week. I'm feeling better already. I am so glad. I can tell that you are not as nervous as you were and if you ARE, you sure are hiding it well!! Love multiquotes....it keeps me from forgetting what I was gonna say to who. It looks so rainy around here, again. DH is about to get up and go to work. Macy is becoming more of a mamas girl. She doesn't want to leave my side. I think she is sensing my turmoil and she has been loving on me and kissing on me. What a sweet babygirl. Thank you God for my sweet girl. :smile2: Hope you all have a great evening!!

Thanks Michelle & Kat. I know nothing will change FOR me unless I do something myself. My mom always taught me to be 'independent' that way. "never rely on anyone to 'fix things for you." So...with that said, I got online today and applied & submitted my resume to 2 school districts looking for Admin. Assistant, clerical or A/R. There were several positions open. I will keep my fingers crossed. Of course DH is not that enthused about me talking about going back to work Oh well, it is a step i need to take....FOR ME! Kat-wish I could meet up with you in SA. When are ya'll going? Suzanne-how are you? How was the spaghetti??? Michelle...is it a boy or a girl? LOL (sorry, had to say that) Suz, Kat & Jen-did ya'll see that Haydee is pregnant? I am happy for her. She will make a fantastic mother!! Have a great night friends

Hi everyone...I am here and I am reading what you say. I just do not have really anything to say that is on a positive note right now and you all have enough crap to deal with without me chunking mine in there too. Just remember i love all of you, i am not leaving, just laying low.

OMG i am so sorry with my neglect of all my friends here. Schools out, Frank has been off work and it has been one thing after another. Tonight was macys girl scout bridging ceremony going from daisies to brownies. It was really nice. I am so sleepy and i will catch up with everyone tomorrow. :thumbup:

Suzanne-i will say big prayers and i will post here as soon as i get the word from your sister! You are gonna do GREAT! I will post more later...just kinda blah today. I'm sorry ya'll.

Hi everyone~ Just a run by post Gotta get dinner ready then girlscouts night for Macy! Have a great evening!

Good morning ladies, thank you all for the words of wisdom. I aprreciate it more than you all know. Suzanne-i am not surpised at sis's reaction...not surprised at all. ((((((((hugs)))))))) If I lived close to you I would tell her no for you :rolleyes: Hang in there sister! Take care of you! Michelle-so sorry about the yarn store!! Kat-hope everything is going well for you today! Cindy-any car damage?! Angela-so sorry about your friends mom. Hope youo have a fast 4 day workweek!. Have a great day everyone. Today is the first of 4 off days for dh. Pray that i can control what i eat. He tempts me very bad. I dont get it, he used to be so supportive. Maybe he likes to keep me fat?! What a sad thought.

Thanks ladies! (((hugs))) I am just on a pity pot.

Thanks Cindy...part of me thinks, awww i should not be that way....i should do everything i can because we are in this together.....but the other part of me says SCREW that, she has made my life a living hell and why should i have to go to work to give her money....for kids that do not even want to come see us? I am so conflicted. Sad that i am on antidepressants :cursing: I have never gone to a midnight feature. Are they crowded?

Good morning friends~ Going to the movies today with dd to see Shrek Forever After. I am really excited. I love the Shrek movies. I am also excited about having a new Toy Story coming out this summer. :cursing: I just ate a banana. Really surprised that is finally went down. Band is tight due to stress. I will spare you all the details, just know it has to do with dh exwife, threats of court...yada yada yada. I am beyond tired of it all. I AM NOT going to go to work to pay HIS child support...aint gonna happen. Am I wrong? Have a great day everyone!

I did not even stop to think about that! He would have WON? Lucky for Mike, right? How cute that she still has it! That makes me smile :smile2:. Yep, we went to the GS store. OMG...that stuff is expensive! Oh and another thing...i am so glad I started this thread. You ladies are my friends now. Now i feel like I have a new family that likes me for me. I do not have to pretend. That means the world to me, thank you! :wub: Good morning everyone! I had 2 girls at my house last night. We stayed up until midnight :scared2: They argue like sisters! My friend (also the troop leader) asked me yesterday if we are still offering our house as a place to hold the meetings starting September. HECK YEAH! Now i do not have to leave the house to attend a meeting! lol We have that HUGE gameroom that is empty for the mostpart and now it will be able to be used! I am psyched. :cool: I told the leader & one of the co leaders about the bar it has in it and the laughed and said now we wont have to go out anywhere for a drink after the meeting either. lol On another subject, dh got jealous because our dr hugged me twice at my dr visit. Seriously? :cursing: lol I need to get off my butt...it is starting to ache. lol There is a hint to get moving, right? Have a great weekend everyone! Be good to yourselves!

Good morning everyone Suzanne-I agree with the band dr too (and kat) You definitely need an unfill for the surgery. I know you must be overwhelmed with everything going on. Feel free to reach out anytime, ok? Love you sista! Kat-I am an oldtimer? :ohmy: Thanks for reminding me and starting my day out on a positive note! :thumbup: Angela-Thursday sounds good. Remind me or I will show up Wednesday, lol. You must have needed all that sleep. That sounds heavenly About your phone deal at work, sounds like something I would do too! Cindy-so when does summer school start? And how long does it last? How did you like the outcome of the biggest loser? Michelle-so what did your dd get for her birthday? I love how excited they get on special days. :thumbup: Jenn-you listening? (or reading?) Hope things are going well for you! Bethany- :thumbup: hi there! How are things with you? Everyone-I need to go to the girl scouts store this morning. Did not know there was such a thing until now. lol I am getting macys brownie uniform. She has an awards ceremony next week and she is 'bridging' from a daisy to a brownie. They are having the girls walk over a bridge that was built for them and they are going to take off their old blue smocks and have the brown one under it Have a great day and i will check in later!

So SUZANNE.....what exactly happens after you are admitted? What kind of procedure are they going to do and what part of your body? Thanks for texting, sorry i did not get on here faster than you to post :thumbup: Macy has another girl scouts meeting tonight so....i need to run. The awards ceremony went GREAT! I am SO proud of her. Only 6 kids in her class got an excellent hehavior award. I know it has really boosted her self esteem!

Suzanne-let me tell ya....she prob only has her dads demeanor at school. For the most part, she is me made over. So the good part is, at least she knows WHEN to be like me and when to be like her dad. LOL She will stay out of trouble that way plus when she needs to have attitude, out pops mini-me. I am a lucky momma :thumbup: I will be thinking of you today and DO text me, ok? Good morning everyone! TODAY is the awards ceremony so I do not have long to post. Have a super duper day!

hahahaha....:laugh: So, when we having coffee? Do you work M-F?

Suzanne-i have a question. DO YOU have to do it all? And if so, why? What would happen if you weren't around anymore? I am quite sure that things would still get done and appointments would be made. Give yourself a break. You have enough on your plate don't you? The stress alone is enough to drive you to an early grave. Your health is just as important. Just tell them you can not do it anymore. What is the worse case scenario? and can you handle the consequences of it? You do not need to apologize. We are your friends. :smile2:

OH OH OH...you know me, I wanted the unedited version! lol Hope you had a great nights sleep. OK, so this would freak me out. I am a scaredy cat....I wonder what happened. Tell dd happy birthday from me. Even though she has no clue who i am, tell her anyway please :wink5: Everyone-Good morning friends! Again this morning my hip is in excruciating pain. My knee is hurting too but not near as bad as my hip. The other day my lower back was hurting so I was laying on the bed (dressed) and asked dh to take my feet and raise them as high as he could. When he bent me practically in half, feet over my head, i could feel those muscles stretch...oh my goodness, it felt wonderful!! Macy has an awards ceremony at 9 this morning. She is getting an award for (get this) excellent behavior! So now, I know she is split personality, lol. Not that she is BAD but....:smile2:. Funny how kids act different for their parents than they do for other people. I am very proud of her. :laugh: Frank is working extra at work for the next month but at least he is off today to go to the ceremony. How is everyone this morning? Have a fantastic day and treat yourselves kind!

Bethany-i could make a sailer blush too, so we are on the same page there. After working with guys in the pilfield all my life, it kind of rubbed off. I used to see a chiro but since we moved I need to look up a new one. And NOW, my insurance covers it :biggrin: Great idea, thanks for reminding me about chiropractors! Everyone-Hope you all had a great day so far! I have to get macy in the tub. She has a girl scouts meeting tonight and we do not get home until 8 and that is her bedtime, so i like her to take one before we leave. Enjoy your evenings!

Angela-my hip and knee (and lower back) alternate giving me fits. I know it has everything to do with gaining all this weight back. That in itself should be reason enough to lose it again. YES, there is a starbucks on Center Street. Wanna meet there one day? Just tell me when. Macy may have to tag along, depends on if dh is working.

Good morning all~ Hate to start this witha a complaint BUT my right hip has been killing me the past couple of days. This morning i woke up at 4 with it hurting and i managed to go back to sleep until the alarm went off. but i just had to take a vicodin & soma....and it is before 7 AM! so now, her i sit with a buzz. I will prob wake frank and ask him to run macy to school. There is a friend from an old thread i posted on that is coming to Galveston in July...I can not WAIT to see her. I warned her that I gained all my weight back since she saw me last but our friendship is beyond that and I am really looking forward to it. Macy and frank and I are going to meet them for a day at the beach and her son and macy will be able to play. YAY! Makes me excited to see Suzanne in September. Kat...I really want to meet ypou & Rick too. BUT we will soon. Angela, you and I have no excuses! lol Jenn-money is my issue to see you sista. That and my fat ass, lol. I want to take this moment to thank all of you ladies...I mean ALL of you! We have grown close and I love knowing I have another family here. It is comforting more than you know. (((((((((((hugs))))))))))) Be kind to yourselves. (by the way, i am reading my book again) I need to go...I am so lightheaded.

Jenn-sounds like you have a boss that may be jealous! Just be SWEET SWEET SWEET to her. That'll push her over the edge. lol Good to see you again! What did Kev want? Michelle-with hours like that i could not work that kind of schedule either. Suzanne-yummmm...ribs?!! Everyone....have you all seen that show called My Sisters Keeper....with Cameron Diaz. OMG, tear jerker. I cried lke it was family. Have a great night everyone :tongue2:

JENN JENN JENN....I see YOU!!!!!!!!!! :tongue2:

Angela-i agree with kat. Sounds like he has a spy around there. Too much of a coincidence he just drove up like that. Now that we have you paranoid about your neighbors....lol. j/j He sounds very inconsiderate! The only word that comes to mind is jackass. Kat-i enjoyed our chat too! Hi new faces..... :tongue2:
