Home from the hospital shift. Not to busy tonight.

I made a batch of cookie dough and put it in the refridge. Our women's ministry is having a bake sale this weekend. I'll make Cookies and a couple of cakes.

I have an appointment with the shrink Doc tomorrow. Anxious to see how this one goes.

Have a great night and chat with you all tomorrow.

Suziecat - I'm glad that cookie dough is in your refrigerator. If it were in mine it would be eaten...that's one of my favorite BAD things to eat. And it goes down so smoothly -- even after the band.:mad2:

I'm home.....and I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manda's ear looks 70% better already!! We went down this morning, spent the better part of the day, and it was so nice. She feels good, she can tell it is improving, and she knows even if she ends up losing part of it, it will not be the entire ear, and she is ecstatic! I had a helluva time driving home, I think I FINALLY relaxed and it hit me!

We got about 50 miles from home, and she called---insurance is booting her tomorrow, they say there is nothing being done for her in the hospital that cannot be done through home health care!!!!

So....tomorrow morning, back I go! But I am bringing her home!

The top of her ear and the inner part of the lobe by her neck are almost back to normal color. The center where the wound is, and the outer lobe are still maroon in color.

She has had 3 different Dr.'s tell her the surgery she had was useless, and quite dangerous to her situation, and now the wound looks horrible! The surgery wound, not the ulceration on the ear I mean.

Anyway I am totally exhausted, but I had to share.....I am going to bring her home tomorrow, and while it is not over, it is improving!

She will be on 3 different IV meds and 2 orals at home, but is sure will be easier to see her!

Will check in when I get back from Albq!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TRACYK-----Love you lots and hope your day is as special as you are to all of us!!

XOXOXOX

Morning Chicas~

TracyK...Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Well, you know the rest!:biggrin:Love ya sista and I wish you a great and special day!

Kat...I am SOOO happy to hear that news! You and your family deserve a bit of peace...is she going to stay w/ you for after care? Does she have a dr. near by to follow up? God Bless you guys!

I am bushed. I worked on table of contents, table of tables, and my abstract last night. Then went to bed around 10...slept like a log...and couldn't believe it when my alarm went off. I didn't move or pee all night! I am very tired...and I only have to work 12 hours today! Thats right...I get two 45 min breaks, but 12 hours. I will stay at work until 7pm for conferences...but get to leave tomorrow @ 11:30! I am meeting my dear friend from High School (she lives in San Francisco and is down for the week). I am soooo looking forward to seeing her.

That is my story! Gotta go put my face on and look fab for the parents!

love ya

I'm looking at a flight arriving in Huntsville at 9:39 a.m. and leaving on Monday at either 10:09 a.m. or 4:30 p.m. I don't want to miss any of the action this time around!! I'm going to book next month after I get my tax return.

I'm thinking I'll book this one asap if ya'll think it's ok timing wise... The price really is great... seeing as how nonstops were up to $700 at one point... I was pretty much resigned to doing 1-stop (Detroit) but this non is good!

      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.
