Called Kat and nothing new. She said they are waiting for infectious disease Dr. to come in. Nothing like Hurry Up and WAIT!!!!!!!!!! I hope she finds the help she needs there! Kat said she is driving home tonight 200 mile drive, watching Kinsey tomorrow and then going back to Alb. Tuesday with Kinsey. Wow!!! Hang in there Kat!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone watch Datelines 10 wildest rides tonight? #3 was a water rapids situation. You know I bet Tracyks, Haydee, and Terry (my saviours!) can tell you about the rapids in Gruene!!!

Kat just called and they are transfering Manda to Albuquerque, she had an allergic reaction to the medicine they gave her last night so they are flying her into Alb. Kat said last time her Dad was in they didn't have wi-fi access. Told her to drive safe and we all love her!!

Terry, I do feel better, the fill has really helped, plus the blood thing had me totally freaked out!! I think I am normal again or as normal as can be!!! No boogey man here, I never did figure out what the deal was. Weird. Maybe the person down below, although I NEVER hear her was doing something odd. Way to go Pam, I am sure that is such a relief!! Feel better Jen!! Prayers go out to all the violets but especially Kat and her family!!!

Kat, I hope that the anti fungals do the work. It is sure hard when we all know how far medical technology has come, to have them guessing what 'might' work. I hope they can find an answer soon!! How is Manda holding up emotionally with all this unknown stuff? Crazy, hopefully they will find something soon!! Hearing weird noises in my house tonight. I am on the third floor, so nobody can come in a window or anything like that. Just odd noises. I only have one door to my house and that is locked. Weird. Oh well I hope everyone had a nice valentines day. I have done very good this week with my eating. I hope next week I can follow suit!! Jane

I totally agree with Pamela, and all others about the mother of the octoplets. Do you know that my health insurance is 600 a month, and I have a $2500 deductible, and a $5000 out of pocket after that. That is over $15,000, I have to work my ass off to pay for it. Then on top of that I had to pay for my band because my insurance doesn't cover weight loss. I think that people are taking the easy way out and letting the government do the hard work for them, and sit back and collect from the government what they should be working for!! Oh don't get me started on this................... Jane

Good morning!!! Tracyk what a day!! I have heard from customers what a HUGE problem that can be. Hope they got it solved and fixed!!! Michelle, I know this is going to sound odd, but if the smell still persists, sprinkle some of your cat litter (unused of course!!) over the area, then let it sit for a couple of hours, overnight if you have the space for kids, then vacuum it up. The charcoal or whatever the ingredient is helps with the smell and soaking up anything missed!! I know it sounds weird, but it works!! I hope you find some relief Pam!! By the way I still have my souvenir from Gruene!!!!!!!!!!!! Haydee, did you get a bad storm there? Is that why the alarms went off? We ended up getting a TON of rain yesterday, but no storms. They said we were going to get bad storms but we didn't. Another slow day at work today. I have two clients and the one I only charge what he can pay. So I don't give him a price he usually gives me ten dollars. He is nice but has a lot of problems. My other customer is a blow dry. So no money for me this week!!! Glad I have my fill!!!! Good morning to Judy, Bobster, Heather, Laura, MO, Terri, Tracyks, Suzie, Suziet, Jennifer, Gina, Denise, special hugs and morning to Kat!!!

Kat I had a picc line for about a month, and I gave myself the iv's. My mom was there to learn just in case. It is no big deal, they come and deliver the medicine every other day and then come and take my blood the next, and so on and so on. I was lucky and never had one tiny problem!! I even worked with my picc line in after awhile. I just scheduled my day around the meds. This was when I had the staph infection in my tummy from the ovarian surgery. I just wrote down each step and then looked at that every time I did it. It sounds worse than it is. I had been in the hospital long enough with that, so I was happy to be out!! Very slow day at work. I have had more customers this year than any year I remember call to cancel because of the stomach flu!! I am knocking on wood as I type. At least they reschedule!! Is it just St. Louis or is it everywhere? I am feeling restriction with my fill. I am very very happy right now. I have a lot of things going right!! Now I hope nobody faints or something, but I even walked on my treadmill 32:38 minutes!!!!! Okay off to do some home stuff!!!

Good morning!! Couldn't sleep last night. Don't know why. Glad everything is good here!! My fill is great so far. I have not eaten any solid foods yet. I get mushys today. My Dr. never had me follow a post fill diet. So I am trying it. I really want to eat though. Hi, Suzyt! Off to do some stuff around the house!!!

What I am grateful for--I found out today my white blood count is finally back to normal!!! I am totally lost on the Harleynana thing. I hope that she took nothing that was said the wrong way, everything that I have seen has been love and concern filled for Kat and her daughter. Odd, somebody said it right the other day when they said the printed words didn't come with sound to know how we meant it. Hugs to all who need it!! Tired and going to bed!!

Kat, my heart goes out to you and your whole family, I agree to wait out the storm/traffic. I got caught up in a bad traffic snarl last night, don't know what the reason was, but it put me in a BAD mood, sitting there waiting!!! I hope everyone has a great and safe day!!!!!!

Good morning!! I get my fill tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I need it? Power of prayers works, 10 years ago when I had my brain tumor, I had so many people praying for me. I think I missed a week and a half the first surgery!! I am sure if the Dr. knew he would think I was crazy, but it didn't do any harm, and it was what I needed. There is something about having some normalcy in your life.... You know Michelle last night I was thinking about MO! I hope all is well with him? Or is it a Her? I think yesterday I had my psychic hat on! Okay off to do some stuff!! Have a great day and be careful Suzie!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are funny talking about hooha's!! Kat, I feel out of the loop when I am at work, so I called for an update! Was the slowest week I have had in a few years! I am bummed, but hoping next week is better! I think people are waiting longer, it save a few dollars for them, and makes me no never mind if I cut an inch or three, it is still a cut, so it doesn't make my job harder, just not totally recession proof! I can't believe I am about to say this, but I am hot!! I live on the third floor and it gets full afternoon sun, and today it was over 75 in my house! Since I keep it cold in winter that is hot for me. Jane
