Good Morning, Violets..

Just looked at my phone and I had a message from Tracyk. She's asking us for prayers as she has been vomiting all night and is headed to the doctor. I pray she is alright and has not damaged the band.

It's cold and snowing here. We are putting the lights on the front tree and will be done with decorating today, I hope. I slept in til 8:30 this morning and the Bobster is still sleeping, but I think he was up at 4 a.m. for awhile so I won't wake him now.

Going to get some Breakfast. Everyone have a good day and keep TracyK in your prayers.

(((Tracy)))

I have had this rash come & go on my hands since about 2 months preg.. It was so miserable last night. It flares up for a day and it's gone the next, then comes back another day, etc. Last night my hands were burning so bad like they were in an ant bed.. and I couldn't find any relief (healing lotion, benadryl cream, aloe vera).

Anyone seen anything like this or have ideas? I have no known allergies, and it is occurring on both hands (besides the cheap metal, but that's not a diagnosed allergy and I don't have any cheap metals on my hands)

Laura, it looks like excema (sp) to me. Call your Dr. though and see what they say, if it is excema it clears up pretty fast with appropriate medicine (cream).

Have a good one!! By the way when is your ultrasound??

My docs keep kind of glazing over it. It feels a lot worse than it looks, so they are more concerned about the ringworm on my back (which is not a concern to me since I don't feel it!!)

Find out if it's a boy or girl on Dec. 11th!

Good morning...........

OK, so Robby started meds yesterday and the nurse ended up calling me to come get him.... LUCKILY it was a temp from the flu shot that was wrong. He was mellow but still "Robby" and boy howdy I could tell when they wore off around 4:30p because he was bouncing off the walls from excitement over wrestling practice.. he was extremely hyper.. so it was a good thing he ran laps and did all kinds of work out stuff.

2nd thing was my mammo.......... short version: Normal

but not after some tense moments..... they made me wait for the radiologist to look at it and then he wanted MORE..... apparently I have a spot in my left breast that he deemed dense tissue that was overlapping itself.

Thanks for all the prayers.

scale 184 today

Good afternoon, Violets...

Well, the tree outside has over a thousand lights on it. It was touch and go trying to get everything lit at once, but it's DONE! We have 8 minature pine trees with lights and two lighted deer, plus the lighted garland on the porch and lights around the roof line of the house. We have never put so many out before, but we bought a ton at half price at the end of the season last year. I still have a closet full of lights, but they'll be good back ups.

Laura.. I don't know what the rash is. Why are your docs not treating it??? Is it a symptom of the ringworm?

TracyinKS.. whew on the NORMAL mammagram!!! And looks like the meds will be helpful to Robby once they are regulated properly. Things are looking up for you! Excellent!!

Chili is ready for lunch and then off to my flute rehearsal and gig and then choir and dinner afterwards. Will check back later tonight. Everyone have a good day.

Hope TracyK can check in...

My docs are more concerned about the ringworm, they kind of breeze over my hand issue. My obgyn said to put hydrocortizone on it.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TRACY!!!!!!!!!!

Today is gonna be all kinds of good news, I can tell. Go ahead, everyone share your good news for today!

I'll go 2nd :)

Russell's family is officially coming down for Thanksgiving!! I am glad now that I never caused a big fight about it, because now I don't look like a bad guy and I got what I want. I say officially, there's a small chance he has to get the stints (you were right Kat, it has to do with putting them in his veins to increase circulation) before Thanksgiving, but I am hopeful that nothing will ruin this, and the planets will align that he has the surgery after Thanksgiving.

Then it turned into, his mom wants to know what to bring. Hmmmmmm. It's such a tradition at our family, everyone makes specific stuff.. like, there's this huge family and even though my parents have a mansion, we Celebrate Thanksgiving at my granny's house.. a small 2 bedroom house from the 50's..and we sit on piano benches, couches, and stools at folding tables in the living room.. but it's tradition, so no one minds! Along with that, granny makes the turkey (an old fashioned way where the turkey is always dry, but she won't listen to all the new ways to cook it so that it stays moist!!) and her stuffing, etc.. Russell wants his mom to bring her stuffing, which is a different kind of stuffing. But I think you all can see how that would be an issue, 2 stuffings for 1 Thanksgiving! Dun dun dun. So that's the drama I'm avoiding right now.. Still excited about them coming down!!!

And Russ' bro who is 23 just told him he's engaged to this 39 year old with 3 kids he's been seeing.. FUN. I've heard about her, no job,3 baby daddy's and one has tried to beat up russ' bro.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
