I'm going to an engagement party of sorts for a coworker tonight.. I just made a card LOL out of samples in our sample room (I completely forgot to get a card).

I am excited, it's going to be a boozefest but in the last 20 minutes I have developed a MIGRAINE.. ugh.

All went ok at the hospital. Only her husband was there. We took our son with us, and the guys talked and she and I talked.

Ends up that apparantly she has caused some serious kidney damage by allowing herself to be so dehydrated for such long stretches, and now she has a roaring kidney infection, but it has not affected the rest of the urinary tract so it was not recognized quickly. She is out of ICU and in a regular room.

We are getting packed, so will check in later.

I'm here!

Judy and TracyK are on the road.

Heather is VERY pregnant and probably sleeping!

Jennifer is sad :thumbup: (((Hugs, Jenn))))

And I think we just lost TracyinKS again .... :lol:

Pam, I suspect we won't hear much from you this weekend, either! You're going to have such a good time!! Can't WAIT to see your pics in your schmancy robe!

I'll be on the road early tomorrow morning and will be back Sunday afternoon. I am looking forward to the drive out of town to my beloved Texas hill country and to stay with one of my best friends -- my college roommate. I might take some alone time to go climb Enchanted Rock -- one of my favorite places on the planet. It's actually where I want my ashes spread after I die. The pictures in no way do it justice at all. The views are incredible.

Tonight we have to get Evan all packed up and prolly make a run to Walmart to get a few things he'll need. He's gonna be in a bad mood and I'm not looking forward to any of it.

TTYL!

Good Friday Morn, Vi's,

Getting my "do" done today (so it has a week to lose that "just cut" look!) + am attending the volunteer luncheon @ the ES, then -- believe it or not! -- I'm helping to set up my LAST Book Fair @ the ES! Book Fair has always been my baby... I turned over the administration of it to a fantastic, way more organized than me lady (truly!) but I still help as much as possible... so this Fair will be a bit bittersweet. Then it's soccer tournament weekend, so you know where I'll be!

Terry, my thoughts will be with you... peace be with you.

Pam, my thoughts will be with YOU, too... enjoy your day!

Everyone who's travelling, be safe & have fun!

Anyone who's around... post a bit! :thumbup:

Make it a great day and a nice holiday weekend, everyone.

Getting myself ready to go to the wedding--my best friend's son is getting married tonight. In a big fancy schmancy, 2 years in the making, bridezilla beware, wedding! Actually, she has been remarkably good through the planning, and she has proven herself, and in fact refers to herself as a "princess". They have been engaged and planning it for a couple of years almost, waiting til she got her degree, and she graduates this year. Right after they began planning, her sister got engaged as well, there are 3 girls, all highly jealous and competitive! Then the day they went to look at dresses, the sister announces in the bridal shop, that she is pregnant. Every chance she has had she has stolen the thunder from her. And the baby is due any time. So she told her she was NOT in the wedding, and her family got so mad, they refused to finish paying anything. Was a circus! But the kids paid themselves, and she said if her sister goes in to labor, the family can leave, she will just stay behind and have a wedding with her new family!!! LOL

She is gorgeous, he is handsome, and it should be beautiful! The original plan was to have it outdoors, but it is raining, has been off and on all day, and right now it is pouring. So it will be inside the event center.

Tomorrow is supposed to rain as is Sunday--------both here and where we will be for the rally! So I am going to be soaked and freezing! Doncha feel bad for me???

We are leaving at 6 AM---------so I will try to post tonight after getting home from the wedding.

Hugs!!

Hey girls.

I was up early and out the door. I had to work a shift for a girl. I got home and went in and put my swimming suit on. My sister pointed out how much looser(sp?) it is from last year. Anyway. I've been in the pool ever since. The heater has the temp up to 90 degrees and it's only 80 degrees outside. It felt so good.

My nephew dropped Abagail off and she has been in the pool for about an hour. I got her out and in the bathtub. She's all washed up and in her PJ's and will be spending the night. She said she wants to sleep on the couch with Uncle D. LOL.

Terry, I feel so sorry for you, just know that you are in my prayers. I hope you have fun on your trip.

Safe travels to everyone that is on the road.

I'm staying home and most likely in the pool. I'll check in when I can.

Off to go color in the colorbook. TTFN.

      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.
