NJ November Thread



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies!! I've been busy catching up on the October and November threads. I've missed everyone, and I don't have any good reason for staying away so long. I suppose when I went back to work my whole life became a juggling act and I let a few things drop. I'm trying to get better at prioritizing things, and dang it, I miss my friends!! Besides, I've decided to say to heck with corporate policy and start posting from work - we're not supposed to use the internet for personal use, tee hee! Oh well, I work for a hospital and this is a "medical" website, right?

I will catch up more soon - it's 3:30 in the morning and I have to get back to bed. I woke up 2 am nautious and burping. And so continues my love/hate relationship with the band...

(((((HUGS)))))

Hi Jessica, I don't think you're doing anything wrong if you are taking little baby sips. Hydration,as you already know is soooooo important. But I felt so nauseous too (at about the same timeline as you). My doctor had prescribed pain meds and med for nausea. I did use it once.

Anything you have a question or concern about, just call the Drs. office. Not only are they used to it, but they are usually very helpful and informed. It'll rest your fears too (if you have any).

Take care and let us know how things are going when you can :)

Welcome back home, Anne! It's so great to see you here again!

Congratulations, Jessica! Welcome to Bandland! It seems rough at first, but it DOES get easier!

Sorry Abi is sick, Mandy...is she any better? Haven was sick for about 5 days, but she's okay now...just every now and then, she still gets into some coughing.

I subbed one day this week, and the last two days I made mini-muffins for the Grandparent's Tea that is coming up a week from Friday. Tomorrow I'm going to get new tires for my car, and THAT's exciting, right? Yeah.

Haven's having a friend spend the night tomorrow. They're going to make their own pizzas, watch a movie or two...the next day we're going to the mall to play lunar mini golf. That should keep them busy enough and having plenty of fun!

I guess that's about it for me...hugs to all!

No Cindy, Abi isn't better. She is still coughing her poor little head off, and she's pissed that I won't let her go outside for recess.

I am having major problems with her at school right now too. Say a prayer for us both. Me for my sanity and her that she survives the weekend. She admitted tonight that she wasn't paying attention in class today and that is why she is lost with her math problems. Is it normal for 1st graders to be learning 3 number addition problems already? They also read a story in class together and then are supposed to come home and read it again. Well she looked at tonights story like it was in a forgein language. I guess she had spaced out for that today too. The psych put her an adderel (sp?) and it's not helping, so tonight he upped the dose. We start the new does tomorrow morning.

On a more positive note, I like my new job. The kids are pretty good for the most part. It's not hard, the hours work with Abi's schedual and the pay is decent.

I'm off to bed. I'll check in tomorrow.

Oh and Jessica, I would call the doc if the sick feeling isn't gone by morning. They can give you phenegran or zofran and you will feel much better. ~Mandy

Mandy, sorry Abi's having it tough in school lately. Maybe it's being sick? I know when I feel under the weather and I go into work, I have to constantly force my brain to focus and, if I'm really sick, it just won't comprehend much. Hopefully that's just it. Tell Abi I said hi, she's such a sweetie!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Jessica.....Are you still taking your pain meds? Reason for asking...mine made me sick to my stomach after a while. I had to switch to liquid Tylenol. If you're still taking yours maybe you need to back off from it and switch to something a little easier. I found the liquid prescription they gave me too strong for an almost empty stomach due to the liquid restrictions.

Anybody here had or have or know of Dr. Wasser ?? Rancocas Medical ??

Most of the people on this thread are not from Jersey. There are a few, but most of us are from other places. You can do a search for the doctors name, and see if there are any posts about him/her. ~Mandy

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
