here here!!!

Good morning everyone!! I missed you all so much!!! Laura loved the story about your mother in law going to wake up your husbands brother!!!! Love the pics of Abby Suzie!!!!!!!!! Tracy you and Robbie always take great pics!! My throat is so sore today, not from sick but from that biopsy thing they did on my lungs. They still don't know what is wrong, they are hoping that the biopsies will reveal something. They took all the fluid out of my band!!! They are not taking any chances on anything. I go back to the Dr. Tuesday and hopefully the pathology will be done then. I hope everyone has a great Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Good morning. How is everyone? I am unmotivated and tired, and my tummy hurts a little where they did that biopsy. But, just a little, just enough that I can complain!! I still haven't mailed my ss gift. I hope they get it on time! I am glad I didn't mail it yesterday, because I got something in the mail that I forgot I had ordered for my gift!! Pamela, that is great news on your dissertation!!!!!!! How many chapters do you have left? Are you halfway? That always helps me in a strange way to say I am 1/2 or 2/3 done. Haydee and Terry those are great pictures!!! You both look so happy!!!! I just watched the last survivor last night, I saw the reunion show, so I knew who won, but I didn't see the show. I would have liked to have sugar win, but Bob was a good choice. I DIDN'T LIKE CORRINE OR KENNY!!!!!! Maddy was okay, but Susie???? I didn't have an opinion of her one way or another, but Susie winning survivor? I can't believe she came so close and Sugar didn't get any votes! This season kind of grossed me out because they were so dirty! Okay here I go off to get ready for work!! Have a good day!! Tracyks give your mom a violet hug from me!! They are predicting ice here tomorrow, but judging from the picture Suzie sent, we have nothing like what you have.

just lost long post, so goodnight everyone!!

That recipe for fudge sounds interesting, I think it might be diet friendly if no one eats it!! I think I am done shopping for SS. Will wrap it up and put in the mail tomorrow. I also found a 'special' gift for somebody, and that will also be out in a few days. You know how something just screams someones name, this did it. I am sure you will all see soon. I think I am the only one that can't post a picture. Well I had the aspiration/biopsy today and they said it was very thick and couldn't get it out. They managed to get a little out and culture it. They said sometimes they just let it be, but most of the time they will surgically remove it, and then you have to pack it! Oh My is all I can say. I hope it doesn't come to that. Been there a number of years ago and don't want to go and visit!! I am a mess today!! Speaking of messes, I need to get out of here and go to work!! Have a good one!! How is your mom doint Tracy?? Jane

Haydee, it looks like I got your card back from your birthday in October!! I didn't open it, but the date on the postmark is the 9th of October. I had a p.o. box number on it. I will send it with your christmas card! Be careful when you open it because the birthday card has a lot of money it it! Cold here today, went to casino and won 10.23. Actually with lunch I am in a hole a couple of bucks. Oh well, it was fun, but didn't understand machine I was on. Kept winning every once in a while, so kept at it. Have a good night!! Jane

I am getting the biopsy thing done tomorrow. The people that I work with are going to Harrahs today. They have an awesome buffet. I probably shouldn't say that huh? Anyways Sue and I are going to graze at the buffet, and Charlie and Della will gamble. I will gamble some, but not a lot. Have a good day eveyone!! Jane

Judy that is soo sad. Well I haven't watched the news, but the storm of the century seemed to have fizzled out, don't know if we are getting more or we are done for now. Pamela do you feel better? Well going to go watch the news and drink my coffee!!

good morning!! Too cute Tracy!!!!!!!! Pam feel better!!!!! Is next week your last week at work or do you go into the following week? Most of the schools here stop on Friday, but some go to the following Tuesday! They are predicting a huge ice storm tonight and tomorrow. That is all we have heard for the past two days. Now, we probably won't get anything! Okay I am going to go drink my coffee and veg!!

I talked to a friend last night who suggested a second opinion. I think what I am going to do is wait and see what the biopsy shows, and take it from there. I can't let this rule my life right now, cause it is driving me nuts!!

You know at this point whatever it is it is. But, I want it fixed. I want someone to say this is your problem, this is what we are going to do to make it better!! I am just in a bad mood tonight!!

Pam, Charlie saw "Milk" last night and loved it!! Love the sweater Suzie, I say go for a new camera! How is your mom Tracy? YEA!!!!!!!TRACY:fish2: closest thing to a ship coming in!!' Well I got the sh#t scared out of me today at work. My Dr. called and said that I had two pockets where my hernia was removed that formed abcesses, that I needed to call my surgeon today and get it taken care of next week. I was totally freaked out, called the surgeon and the nurse called me back and said they don't think that is the cause, they said on Tuesday they will do a aspircation of the fluid, but they don't think it is abcessed. So for sure I am working next week. It is going to be sooo busy!!! I am over this whole thing. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Congrats Laura, I bet it is so surreal seeing the baby move and all that stuff!! Congrats!! Keeping your mom in my thoughts Tracy!!!! Ready to go to bed myself!! Didn't hear from the Dr. today. Hopefully tomorrow. Ended up getting only the ct scan of my abdomen and pelvic region, my Dr. didn't send the chest xray script, and then when they finally got it I had to get to work. Hope everyone is having a good nights sleep!!

Snow in Texas? Is it still on the ground? We have only gotten a dusting about two weeks ago. The weather person always says a HUGE winter storm is coming, please go to the grocery store and buy all the milk and bread, you can't help but wonder if there is a conspiracy with the grocery stores and weather people!! Oh what a difference a day makes. I am not freaked out about anything anymore. I thought about it last night, and the internet is not a good place sometimes, it gives you worst case scenarios, and then you look into them, which then gives you worst case scenarios, and so on..... Like he said somewhere in my body he thinks I have a bad infection, period. Antibiotics and done. I appreciate everyones thought and prayers, but I was just mad last night about the hernia thing, and my mind went from there. So thank you, and you can worry about something else pertinent!! Wow everyone and there Christmas cards! I am so impressed!! Thank you! The pictures are neat. I have gotten 4 already this year!! Okay I am going to hop in shower and get going, have a good day!!

Okay, I am leaving early in morning so SOMEBODY TEXT ME ABOUT LAURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it is a girl (sorry Terry!!). Okay here is my long story, I am a little freaked out over all this. My ferratin and iron binding capacity has been low for who knows how long, I had an appointment that was made for me to see a hematoloigist, the sleep people think I need an iron infusion because I move my legs more than 80 times an hour. I never knew this, I guess living alone I wouldn't. Anyway two weeks ago I went to my regular Dr. and asked what he thought about what was going on with the sleep dr's and the hemotologist. Well he had a huge fit, and said I was to cancel my appointment now with the hemo Dr. and he would take care of it. So he scheduled the upper and lower studies to make sure I wasn't bleeding somewhere. This is so confusing if you are keeping up with this good for you. Anyways, I got a letter last friday saying that my white blood cell count was high and I needed to have it repeated. I went in Monday before my tests and had it done, and this time it was well over 20,000. My neutrophils are also very high. So the Dr. called the next morning and said he was really concerned about it, and was I in any pain or anything, I told him just what I assumed was menstrual cramps. He then told me to get a ct scan of my abdomen and pelvis the next day, well it didn't work out for today, so I am going in the morning. I also called this morning and since I have asthma I told them maybe there is an infection in my lungs? So they are checking that out to. Then last night I went checking on the internet about this and saw leukemia as a concern. I am freaked out!! I consider myself still under an umbrella of protection because of my brain tumor and ovariian cancer. I have had my fill. Then today I got a call back from the nurse at my lap band place, and she said they knew I had an hiatal hernia! The swallow in June showed I did. HHHMMMM Did they ever think of telling me????????????? I am so pissed!!! I am a mess, I know I don't have leukemia, but I am not sick, but have a high white count, low iron, and can't sleep!!! Okay I am not going to rant anymore!! Somebody please text me about Laura's baby!!!!!!!!!Thanks

Love the table and the belly Laura!! Have a good night everyone!! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!!

Good morning. Susie or Tracyks anything on a wine store? I am not feeling so hot this morning. Went to my meeting this morning and came home and threw up. I think/hope it is nothing!! Going to lay down for a bit and then go to work! Jane

In the 100's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I am back. Nothing in the colonoscopy, but the endoscopy showed that I had a hiatal hernia, and he biopsied some sites for barrets esophagus. Nothing is major either way. It really was a piece of cake. I really wanted to drink really bad, and of course my 2:00 appointment time was moved to almost three, but I am back. Now I am going to see what I can eat!! Isn't there something about not having a band if you have a hiatal hernia? That is my one thing I am worried about. Jane

water, I want water, would prefer coffee.... Long time til 2:00!!

I am still here!! I was hoping to sleep later, that way I wouldn't want coffee as early! Congrats Suzanne!! That little simple gnome thing is getting on my nerves!!! Suzanne or Tracyks, my cousin lives in Shawnee Kansas and I want to get a gift certificate for a nice wine store by them, any ideas? Tracyks I think you are much closer, but not real sure. You can send me a number if you find one on email. If you don't it is no big deal. They are kind of wine snobs so it needs to be nicer than Leo's liquor. Tracyk, oh my gosh I am so bad in the diet buddy department!!! Have a nice day, I can't believe how close it is getting to Christmas!!

You know I can honestly say that the worst part of this has been the fact that my period started today and I can't take advil!! I have really bad femail cramps!!! wow, look at the way I just spelled that!!!! I think I need to go to bed!!!

So far so good, I have drank my miralax potion, taken my ducolax, and drank this really disgusting fleets things. It was really gross, they said to mix it with 4 ounces of fluid, so I sort of knew what was coming, so I just chugged it. I have gone to the bathroom some, feel pretty cleaned out, but so far, smooth sailing!!! The hardest thing for me will be no coffee in the am. I don't need to eat right away, but I WANT MY COFFEE!!! Hopefully they will find nothing with the band when they do the endoscopy, I am a bit worried about that. I am not worried about anything else. I am wondering how MO is fairing??? Hope everyone is having a good day!!
