oh but it's so much more fun to get schnokered with your friends than to just pop a pill!

Edited by Haydee

okay, i'm going home now... Gonna fight this ugly traffic. I'm going to pop a king ranch chicken casserole in the oven and snuggle in front of the fire with a movie.

Stay warm everyone!

Tracy, did it snow over there??? I left work at 3:00 cause I was feeling like crap and when I got on the road I couldn't believe it was actually snowing pretty hard!! Wow. (for all you other Violets, that is obviously BIG news for us!! Kinda stupid eh?)

Laura - Do you really think you can keep the sex a secret from Russell??? Our old neighbors did that, except it was switched...the husband knew and the wife didn't. I'll faint if it's a girl! I just KNOW it's a boy!! (I just LOVE little boys!) You WILL text as soon as humanly possible, right???

Well, so far this Zicam doesn't seem to be helping me :(

But Terry--I want her to have a little girl!! LOL---just keeping the playing field level. Considering when the new grandson arrives it will make 2 girls and 2 boys------------keeping it all fair in the family too!!!

Got my mattress toppers picked up at Walmart, spent hours looking at things with my Mom, and am finally home, and my house is a wreck, I need to seal my cards and get them to the PO!!

Going to actually DO that------and will BBL. Still no snow here. Good thing I am not waiting for that snow to kiss my man!!!

When I went to get Macy @ the bus stop it was a sleet & snow mixture. Kinda worries me a little actually because last time something like this happened they had that bad tsunami overseas and then the following summer hurricane Katrina & hurricane Rita hit....coincidence or el nino?

thought i would pop in - just sat down... was goingto grout the tiles but i decided i would be better if i did that tomorrow and i got on my hands and knees with a super bleach mix and scrubbed the tiles that are going to be under the cabinets, there was left over thinset and mud from the walls and just dirt. Tomorrow i'll grout when they are dry, we are getting the cabinets in and somewhat placed and i have to run 1 outlet and the new line for my ice maker. I'm actually going to have a kitchen... yipee

what will i do with all my time... LOL

ok bathroom is next then finish laundryroom

yuck, ok i think i am going to take a shower, all i can smell is bleach

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

Jane

Hugs girlfriend... your story sounds similar to mine these days. My iron was ok but zink is low, i had to have the same CT done because the resident dr said it was my kidney and i had to have radioactive crap on Monday. I go to see my dr tomorrow at 10:30 for test resultas and what is next

I'll keep you in my prayers tomorrow.

Laura + can't wait to hear what your results are... I say boy

good nigh all - for real

Jane, Love you honey! Have a glass of wine and try to process this all. Keep us posted!

xoxoxoxooxxoxoxoxo

Jane (((((BIG GIANT HUGS)))))) Do NOT EVER think you are going through all this alone. I know I am and everyone else here is available to you day or night--just pick up your phone!

Have you checked the risk factors of the drugs given to you during your priors?

I totally believe once they screw with your blood counts with chemo----they are always skewed a bit.

You will be in my prayers----wish I was close enough to give ya a hug!!!

They put Gary in the hospital today. He has lost down now to a little over 130 pounds. He stands right at 6'. The Dr. who has been shrugging him off was unavailable so the ER Dr. called in his associate, and he has acted on this.

Becky took him back to the hospital today and just told the ER Dr. she was NOT leaving until someone did something for him.

The new Dr. said he is leaning towards a mis diagnosos, and that he believes the symptoms indicate a high likelihood of crohns disease.

She said he actually sat down and talked with them for over an hour.

Tomorrow when I go to the hospital, she wants me to bring a recent picture of Gary---she is going to put it on the board in his room, to show the nurses and Dr.'s that a few months ago, he was healthy and robust---he was not the frail looking old man he is lying in the bed.

Working within the confines of insurance is what is making everything a nightmare!

Jenn, looks and sounds like the kitchen is coming along great!!!

Pamela, my friendship token is on my keyring! Thank You!

And TracyK---it is the keyring to my Chevy Venture Van! Mine is red and loaded, and I love it all EXCEPT I totally despise the automatic slider doors! They are super touchy---and sometimes refuse to unlock with the clicker on my key ring.....irritates the you know what outta me!! BUT it is still a great vehicle! Ours too is ours free and clear. Was actually given (as in FREE) to Rick--but the engine was blown. We bought an engine from a friends salvage yard that had 18,000 miles on it---out of a gov't. van that had been T-boned, for $750.00 bucks, Rick swapped out the engines himself, and we have drove it for many, many thousands of miles........many more than the one you are getting has on it!!!

Enjoy!!!

Well I am going to go see why Rick just turned the TV on---he has been in bed for an hour and suddenly it come on.....

His friend bonded out of jail today. The wife he tried to kill got him out, put their house and her business up. Go figure!

Will see y'all in the morning.

XOXOX
