Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[findingme 0]

Thanks for those of you who replied about my fill. I am still waiting for my surgery Dr to call so he can guide me on what to do if it happens again. I am feeling better today.

I will catch up with everyone else in the next day. Hope you are doing well.

Shannon, My doc uses Omnipaque to prevent this 'leakage' that seems to be so common. He describes the band like a balloon, and saline like air. Over time the saline will sometimes leak thru the band just like air leaks thru the surface of a balloon. Omnipaque is thicker so it doesn't present the same problems. It's unconventional, but it works and it's safe.

Morning Violets~

TracyK~ feel better soon!

Did any violet smokers see Oprah yesterday? WOW...pretty powerful. I meant to tell ya'll about it before the day after, but spaced it. If you can catch the encore you should.

Standard day here. Work, meeting, work for Walden, workout, Walden, American Idol and bed. "These are a few of my favorite things..." Anyway, have a great day.

I have a question that I need to talk to a violet about...who can I call afterschool today??? Be about 4pmish my time. Won't take but a second. But it is important.

K...have a good day!

Pam

I'll be at work but it is very slow this time of year, and at 7pm... even worse... call if you would like ,the number i had out there is my cell

So, Remember that horrible pain in my side that I did not mention to my Dr. Yest. Well, I'm wondering if it is viral because it has moved around to my lower back and I can't stand the pain. I already had severe damage from a bad roll over accident years ago, but have not felt like this since in labor 4 1/2 years ago. LOL

ds got up this morning and said his side hurt and showed me right where mine was... i hate flu like bugs...

i'm going to sip my coffee. lost 2 lbs yest... yeah fill!!!

Good morning, Violets..

16 degrees here and I'm waiting for the Bobster to get out of the bathroom so I can take my shower and get to my flute rehearsal.

TracyK..hope you feel better today. Take care of yourself and Macy.

Pam Pam Bo Bam.... I'll be finishing rehearsal at 7, otherwise you could call me. You know my number!!:biggrin: I'm sure you'll have lots of volunteers to talk to you at that time.

Jennifer... congrats on the fill and losing again!! How come you didn't mention the pain to your doctor??????

Kat...the Bobster FINALLY got the elliptical fixed so the handlebars don't slide around when you use it. He worked on that last night while I was a rehearsal. So now he has no excuse to not exercise!! AND we're still married after the great "put together"!!

Everyone have a great day today! Catch ya later.

Awwww Tracy, I was hoping you would miss getting it! So relieved to hear Macy's fever broke finally though. Now if you make it through the whiny's you will have survived hers, and can heal yourself. Wish I was close enough to bring you a bowl of chicken noodle soup!

Today is my brothers birthday. I am having dinner here tonight. I think we will do a Taco Bar Buffet thing. He is a very picky eater. When he had his accident that left him with the brain injury he lost a part of his jaw. He has a partial that he can wear to appear to have teeth etc. But there is nothing for them to anchor to, so he must remove them for eating---so he will not dine out. Sis cooks instead. Taco's have long been his favorite! He wants seasoned meat, cheese and lettuce, and nothing else! But I can have all kinds of extras for those of us a bit more experimental than he is!!

Mom said she would bake a cake for him...so looks like it is all good, as long as he does not get in a huff and not show up!!! With him, ya never know!

I have to go chip some ice today---the fun never ends around here! We are finally getting some temps to melt ice in the sun, but the shaded areas, are simply getting deeper in ice, and we have gates that won't budge. And the mud is getting too deep in the melted areas to get through, so the ice must go! Rick goes to work in the dark, and comes home in the dark. So it is hard for him to get to, and my son is back in ND working for 2 weeks....so looks like I get to do it! Will be good exercise, and maybe while I am there, a ride will be inevitable!!! No maybe about it!

My 401 is going down and my scale is going up! My blood work says I need to increase my Synthroid, so maybe that will get my metabolism back up to par. My fill Dr. said until that gets straightened out not to expect much if any loss. He did not say I would gain though! And I have! I should change my ticker, but refuse, if it goes higher, where my 100 pounds is not correct I will....for now the sucker stays! I have been eating better than I did for a long time. Not perfect, but much better, it just doesn't seem to matter. I want things reversed....I want the 401 to go back up and the weight to come back down. Enough of the dyslexic universe!

Manda told me this morning when she dropped Kinsey off that our friend we helped out at Christmas---the one who used to rent from us, her 8 month old was diagnosed yesterday as developmentally disabled. They are going to do further testing, but she is not interacting at all, just seems to stare off into space. She is very small, as well. She was over 7 lbs at birth, but is still less than double that at 8 months. I think Manda said they usually double by 3 months of age or something....I cannot remember. I just feel badly for her. Life is difficult enough for her as a single parent. She has a daughter who just turned 6, and this baby.

Speaking of babies, this guy Rick works with, he and his wife had 2 little boys, and she wanted a daughter, convinced him to try one more time.....and now they are having twin....boys! 2nd couple I know to have the exact same thing happen!

Well I think I hear Kinsey stirring in there, so will go play for awhile!

TTYL~~

I thought I was insane, but ds is going to be going to school with lots of kids who dd is going into highschool with. It was such a reality check yesterday, I got a letter in the mail about high school orientation next week and another letter about Kindergarten registration...

Tracyk- sorry you are getting it... you know the drill

Judy - I didn't mention it because I wanted a fill and I knew they were unrelated. I'll see my regular PA if it doesn't go away

Kids have been off school this week... "teacher work days"... uh huh... so I promised them that we'd go "hang out" at Borders for a couple hours this morning browsing, cafe-ing, & spending our Xmas gift cards... I love that they enjoy this activity as much as I do!!

Make it a great day, Vi's!!

I think ds and i might go to the movies to get out today. Going to see what is happening locally

[Teachlady 3]

Note to self...Self, even though you think you have made the best chicken salad ever, so tasty and full of Protein. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT think it is an acceptable Breakfast food. Stick with yogurt first thing in the morning. I just pb'd the whole breakfast in the toilet. dang.
