    Morning houseworklesses..........my humble opinion is that Kathleen.........you stay off that foot as much as possible for 10 weeks.  At least NO housework duties for you for that long.

    Ohhhhh Linda... I'm packing my bags... would love to go to the Cape!

    Kathleen!!!!  ((((((((hugs))))))))))  So glad to see you back where you belong!!!!  

    Well, I finally might have gotten an answer to why I've been in so much pain, my onocologist yesterday stated he thinks my diverticulitis is in full inflamation... so he gave me some antibiotics.  I'm just praying this is the answer...  Thank you for all the prayers recently!

    I promised my guys I'd make my swedish meat pies today........sooooo just trying to get motivated!  lol   That will be my housework quota for today....hehehehe

    Ok... I think we need to send out a search party for mom... she's been MIA far tooooooooooooo long...

    Didn't someone here call Mom a while back.  Something about company visiting.  Sheesh, how long does company stay these days? Tongue out

    Arnie, sorry about the diverticulitus and hopefully it's under control soon.  The fun just doesn't end does it? Frown

    love those pink puppy bellies, so sweet.

    Hugs to everyone. hang out long enough and you learn a thing or two....not the least of which is that there's a lot of support here... girls ready to hunt down the bad guys (with shovels), search for the missing, hug the sadness away, kiss the booboos and stand with you to stare down the enemy. 

    It is so much more than shirking the house work...for this I am eternally grateful and feel truely blessed to be with you all....

    Oh crap--ladies- need prayers...Mom has an absess, dr is trying to find out what is causing it and believes there is a good chance its cancer...she has an MRI next week and later in August some kind of procedure/ biopsy to figure out whats going on and what it is (similar to colonoscopy I think).

    She is keeping this quiet- if she didn't need a ride, I wouldn't know about it... so brother and sister (& spouses) don't know anything. I guess it makes sense to wait until she knows whats going on and what to tell them...thats what we did when I was dxed.

    I guess this makes my last post all the more ......something- don't know what words to use.

    Ah Elaine! So tough to feel helpless, but her letting you know is pretty remarkable....she could have taken a cab.....

    Arnie, I pray the antibiotics are helping you....{{{{{{{{ hugs }}}}}}}}}}}

    Diagnosis: perfusion defect. A blockage of blood to part of my kidney that then goes into spasms. VERY painful, but I'd share my narcotics with you arnie, if you want to come over....

    May go home in the next day or two and then try to salvage my job....sigh.

    Good afternoon ladies.

    Sorry to hear about your mom EWB.  I will remember her in my prayers.  Barbe, hope that you are feeling better today, as well as Arnie and that they get to the root of your problems.  It is so beautiful here in NY today after rain yesterday.  I just got together with friends this morning to have a wedding breakfast (second wedding for her!) for one of my friends.  So, I have already had my round of Mimosas and feeling just fine!  Her wedding is on the beach on Sunday, so I am looking forward to that.  (Although I still have my drain!!!)  Coonie-I don't think this drain is ever coming out.  I just can't seem to sit still.  I think I am going to have to get you over here and you and my plastic surgeon can tie me to my bed because he keeps telling me the same thing!  Have a wonderful day ladies.....

    Barbe I hope you get better so you can get out of there. 

    I am supposed to be cleaning but I over did it yesterday and slept like crap last night= I'm beat today :(.  Why is it everytime I go under anesthesia I wake up and then can't sleep in a normal sleep pattern for ages.....grrr.... 

    Still gotta get some laundry done :(  No matter how bad I feel.

    God Jamie-I am so glad that you said that.  It makes me feel so much better.  Since my surgery two weeks ago, I am such a mess with my sleeping patterns.  I can't seem to shake it.  Not only do I get deathly sick from the anesthesia, but I feel like it alters me for a long time.  I am so tired all of the time and at night I am wide awake.  At least I feel I am not alone in this.  Feel better.

    ((((((((((Arnie)))))))))) I'm hoping those antibiotics are sorting out your diverticulitis.

    ((((((((((Barbe)))))))))) hope you are soon feeling better and out of hospital.

    ((((((((((Jaimieh)))))))))) ((((((((((CarolMarie)))))))))) wishing you both normal, restful sleep.

    Lucy:  I did get your cards and so appreciated everyone's thoughtfullness.  It brightened my days in otherwise dreary circumstances.  I wish I could cheer you up but I know what you mean.  The day before I was going home I had the ominous feeling of doom.  Nothing happened and now I am home.  This is for you:

    when it rains it pours i care

    Wow, I've missed a lot! I have to read pg 238-252 to catch up! Maybe another day. I wanted to check in and let you all know I am still alive and kicking. I started working full time and it's been wiping me out! I hope my energy increases. Yesterday and today I've pretty much slept all day after working Mon and Tues.

    I enjoy chatting with you all and miss the friendship. I hope all the dust bunnies are doing well today!
