Happy Mother's Day Gang !!!!

Denise - Blot Clot are very dangerous - it sounds like what he has - it could be from the surgery - a lady at work has them/it and she had surgery a few weeks ago - and my GF Candy who I just went to Temecula with DH had them a year ago and no surgery- they just developed - it's very very very dangerous - please make him go to the ER NOW NOW NOW I MEAN NOW..

Karla - How nice of #5 & bf - #4 needs an ass kicking ;0)

Think good thoughts about your Dad... Remember the happy times..

Phyl - glad you aren't as sick at Tracy - Hugs - all that cold weather..

You made me lol - that you put the tax return in your account - wtg

Linda - Ya you win gf not that this is a contest - but omw alot of death and that divorce thing.. Hugs...

Well had a great time - think I wore Candy out we shopped at this great mall on Friday got 2 dresses a pair of capri's and a 2 shrugs - 1 bra - Went to Pechange Casino - omw it's as big as a casino in Vegas !!! Had dinner (cobb salad) the gambled a little - didn't win..

Oh ya messed up my car - backed up in a parking lot - went to turn - hadn't backed up far enought and ran over a curb - tore up underneath my front bumber pretty bad - it was hanging and scraping the ground - not the bumper itself but some plastic behind it..

Then Saturday went to Chrysler to see if they could jerri rig the bumper - I got duct tape - but it wouldn't really stick - so they rebuttoned some of the buttons that popped out and it's not draging anymore -

Than we hit old town - had this GREAT Breakfast (more brunch cuz it was about 11ish) eggs, sauage & busicuts & gravey - omw the sauage and b&g were great - walked around for 5.5 hrs looking at all the stuff - bought another dress - some body butter, candle - Jerky - some great garlic oilive oil and honey balsamic vinegar - went back to the room rested a little and changed went back to casino - had dinner 6 oz of bison burger (without the bun) just the patty & cheese and couple of onion rings - The place was so packed we could find the poker machines we play - so came back to the room

Got up this am around 8 - and was home by 11:30..

Andrew - bought me lunch ;0)..

Washing clothes right now - really need to go to the store and get some lettuce so I can make a salad to use my new olive oil/vinegar on - but don't feel like getting dressed.

Confession - ate too many Cookies - and am going to have to sugar detox this coming week..

Linda & Candice - I don't need to lose - well maybe a couple lbs after my sugar this weekend - but I'm on for Eating Healthy Challenge...

Ok dryer dinged - gotta go fold clothes - ugh...

Well, today was busier at the nursery, that will help the boss. Only not so good thing...I backed into a customer's truck with the loader. The nursery insurance will pay for it, but I feel really bad.

Have found an additional part time job. One of the ladies at the nursery owns a consignment shop, so I asked if I could work there. She said yes. She also is looking at buying the nursery and asked me if I would be interested in buying it with her in 6 years...it is something to think about. I'd really love to, but I dont' know how much of a risk taker I am. So I need to give it some thought.

Anyway, watching a movie, so I'll check in tomorrow.

Hope you all had a good Mother's day. Hanet, it sounds like you had a good weekend.

Morning Ladies!! Hope you all had a restful weekend. It sounds like Janet shopped till you droppped!! Sounds like you had too much fun.

Janet, you will get the sugar worked out of your system. You always do.

Would love to stay home and sleep, not what I can do, but I'd sure enjoy it.

Watched the Jesse Stone movie last night with Tom Selec. I didn't realize the author had dies, I did enjoy his books.

Well, best get moving, TTFN

Good Morning Gang

I'm with you Karla - I could use some more sleep... But alas I gotta go to work to pay for the shopping ;0) lol..

Not much to report - can't even remember what I watched on t.v.. oh ya Grey's Antonym went to bed about 10...

I did good last night w/no sugar ;0) Have gym tonite...

Joseph had a snake in his garage yesterday.... Joseph is AFRAID of snakes - he called 911 ;0) but a neighbor came buy and got the snake out - then the animal control or sheriff came and took snake away - I guess it was green/brown 3 ft long - Not sure if it was posionest or not - he said they said it was - but who knows he's a big baby when it comes to snakes -

OH My that is a big freeking snake.... I wouldn`t want to deal with it myself for sure. aND ACTUALLY i like snakes... prefer them to bug...s... I have even dealt with BATS before..

Oh and a TICK last night... I was petting twig on my lap, I felt this little LUMP... I thought oh no, he has another fat deposit lump thingy.... then I saw the TICK....ewh... got some tweezers and pulled the little bastard outa there.Then dosed him(the dog) with alcohol...

Karla; your Consignment job sounds perfect. And a lot less lifting than at the nursery..

weighed in this a.m. 185lbs... now what I have to do now is stay REALLY Busy sewing, quilting.... and NOT eating

I would like to be slimmer by the time I see you gals in July... Don`t want to be FATTER than I was when I saw you all last year... that just cannot happen!!!!

Denise: How is Hubby today? Did you get the blood clot looked at by a doctor?

Good Evening Gang

Drive by before I hit the gym

Phyl - On fb you talk about a Tens machine - what's up girl is your back bothering you again????

Candice - You just got to get back eating healthy - no more ration food ;0) or all those cocktails

Linda too - no more cocktails - limit yourself to friday or sat nite - and limit 2 - an make low calorie cocktail - wine spritzers..

Karla - how old will you be in 6 yrs - how much is the investment - I wouldn't invest any of my retirement $$$ this late in the game.. Especially 6 yrs from now.. But I error on the side of caution too..

Well will ck back later - gotta go by the store get some salad stuff so I can use my garlic olive oil & honey balsamic vinegar..

Candice, the Consignment job would be in addition to the nursery job.

Janet, I'd be 57 in six years so there is no way I would risk my retirement. I am not a gambler. But I might consider working there full time. Who knows, I'm not going to plan on anything.

I am staying home tomorrow. I am tiredk and real grouchy, so it is safer for the students to not be there. Also Bailey the cat is not doing well. Since Saturday she has lost a 2 inch by 3 inch swatch of fur. It looks like it just fell out. The area is hot and bumpy. Also her arthritus is really bothering her. So the vet is coming by. I hope the skin issue isn't something really going to be a problem. If it isn't something that can be treated and it is just going to get worse and more painful I am prepared to have the vet put her down. She just is having a rough time getting use to the new house and stairs.

Denise, did you get your DH into the doctor?

Candice, focus, exercise, you can do it!!! I'm working on it to, I ate more junk food this weekend at work than I have for over a year.

Hey Phyl, where are you?

Just a quick note on blood clots from Nurse Linda: They actually are the result of inactivity. Often people get them after childbirth, surgery, and long plane flights when they've been sitting or laying in one position for a length of time. The clot develops because the blood in the veins isn't moving enough. Then when the person does start moving again the clot disloges and travels usually ending up in the thiny blood vessles of the lungs which is how people die from them. It happened to a patient of mine once after a baby--very, very sad.

By keeping active and doing leg exercises during long flights, or after surgery you keep the blood moving and clots can't develop. But any time a person complains of pain, redness, swelling in the legs and there's a history of inactivity we need to consider the possibility and have the person checked out. Sometimes "clot-busting" drugs can be used.

Hope everything's OK.

Well, the spring semester is over today but the summer one started. They'll be a little let down, but not much! Hope to be able to keep up with you all a little better now.

Linda

I am so happy to have you back :0)... On the blood clot issue the lady I work w/has them - the doc said he never saw one as big as her's supposedly it's from her hip bone to her ankle - can that be or did the person telling me get it mixed up.. They have installed a filter in her artery so that it won't go to her lungs/heart??? She's 72 and I am very concerned ..

Denise - What's up girl - how's DH

Candice - you are almost done with the blue & yellow one that I love... Take a picture so I can see it..

Karla - I ate too many cookies - but gotta say in the past the box would have been demollished the 1st nite - and over 2 nites there were plenty left - so I didnot eat as much as I use to but enough to bug me.. Glad you arent' a gambler :0) didn't think you were - working there is just fine :0)

I did go in a quilt shop in old town and thought of you and Candice..

Steph - How are you...

WEll... after the back episode in March, I never went to see a back specialist. So when I tried to make an appt here with ortho, they said I needed a referral from my primary care doc. And she wouldn't give me a referral unless I went in to see her for THAT problem. So I went this morning and took my x-rays. When she looked at the x-rays she said she didn't think those episodes of pain I had, based on where I showed her the pain was, had anything to do with the state of my spine/vertebrae, etc. She said the pain was too high, and the bone spurs and messed up spine are lower. So she wants me to see a physiatrist... for possible cortisone inj in my back, and she gave me an Rx for PT. I told her about the options for PT in my neighborhood, and turns out the gym I go to has a PT department. So when I went to my appt with the trainer this afternoon, I showed him the Rx for PT. He had me warm up on the bike for about 7 minutes and then decided I should so see the therapist and let him direct my exercise program.

Turned out they had a 3pm appt available, and it was almost 3pm by then. By the time I filled out paperwork and she called my insurance and got confirmation of my benefits, the PT guy was ready for me. So I ended up being over there 2 hrs! He went through 3 different exercises with me, did a deep massage of my lumbar area, and put ice and TENS wrap on my back for about 20 minutes. I'm scheduled for therapy in their warm water pool on Friday, but I'll go over a couple of times between now and then to ride the bike and maybe I'll do a little walking on the treadmill, too.

But, by the time I left there I could hardly walk... maybe from the bike, I don't know... but limping with pain in my right hip!! LOL!! Where does it end! I think I overdid the Wii with grandson, Charly (7) yesterday. I'm so competitive! First we did "Just Dance"... I won, then he got bored with that so I bowled a couple of games. (Think that's what did it!) Then Charly came back and we played two rounds of golf.

physiatrist - I thought you mis-spelled shrink - I was thinking wth lol - so I googled it - it'a a pt person :0)

Ok I thought the Tens was prescribed by the doc - to wear all the time - it's just at the pt sessions..

Well what does she think that pain was - we know it had to be bad for you to go to urgent care..

------------------------------------

Karla Where are you this a.m. - I slept in til 5:30 so I wasn't on this a.m.- but taking a chance right now to ck in - no one's here yet :0)..

Well not much to report since last night had my salad w/garlic olive oil/honey balsamic - it was good - I didn't even finish my fish - cuz I ate my salad first - I was hungry - the salad was done and the fish wasn't ;o() so I ate my salad 1st - not going to kill me to do this every now and then :0)
