Good morning ladies....I woke up planning to text DS2 that we'd need to cancel our luncheon plans because DH



(TV alert "Sunday Morning" is doing an interesting piece on "breasts")



awoke in the middle of the night miserable with a bad sore throat and cold symptoms (which I've had for over a week now).....but wait, two tylenol and he's ready to go anywhere he can get a good meal. Go figure.....can't keep that guy down when food is involved!



Lovely card Deb!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!  We will be having a "make up day" because yesterday after graduation, the graduate fell in the street while walking to the reception a block from the arena, and fractured her kneecap!!!  Yikes, luckily it was a clean break - no surgery required.  But we took her to the ER and they gave her a big brace and good drugs.  And we will bring her back to our house so I can help her out for a few days.  She has a dog and a wonderful roommate, but we can't leave everything to him. 

Gotta run, will explain more later.

OMG Michelle   Well...I guess you got a surprise Mother's Day gift, but thats a pretty sly way to get your daughter home with you LOL Thank Goodness she didnt fall on the way in! This is gonna make a good story to tell her children, even though she isnt thinking that way now.  Hope she has good drugs for the pain and heals quickly.

Laurie  did they discharge you with any referrals? or just tell you to follow- up with your cardiolgist?  the ER docs are  trained only to treat the immediate (or presenting) problem and then refer the patient out for other issues. Unfortunately its all about getting you in and out (ie. money)

Debbie  [[[hugs]]]  do something special for yourself today!!

My daughter sent me a card with 2 twenties in it and said "these 20's will help your garden grow"  She knows how I like to garden, so I am off to see my mom and get some flowers for the garden.

May get the grill going tonight with some steaks and grilled veges, ig it doesnt rain.

Laurie08

Oh no Michelle!!  I hope she is ok and I agree with Carrie, at least it was on the way out and not on the way in!  I am sure you still managed to have a great day though.

Carrie- The ER pretty much sent me on my merry way.  Told me to follow up with my primary this week.  Yesterday and today I was having severe anxiety, about what God only knows.  So I went in to see the nurse on call and she prescribed me some adivan.  Only 2.5 mg which I then cut in half.  It helped quite a bit but didn't make me feel drugged.  I LOVED the nurse practitioner I saw today, she actually listened, understood and cared.

I have to make this quick but just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day!  Here is a quote I found which I loved.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.  ~Washington Irving

Omg Michelle.... So sorry about the unexpected detour! It will make for a good story down the road but I'm sure she's not seeing it that way just yet.... Thank goodness she has you to help her through!



Laurie,



Loved your quote!!!

deborye

Oh my goodness Michelle, well you have something to look forward too.

After a lot of driving from Chelmsford to Portsmouth NH then down route 1A to Seabrook stopping here and there we got back on route 1 and traveled up to York, ME.  Had a nice Lobsta Roll here.

 

carolehalston

Deborye, a lobsta roll!  Lucky you!

DH and I cooked Mother's Day dinner and took it to my mother's house.  We had 8  adults and 2 children.  Ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, devilled eggs, baked beans and green salad.  It was a nice day.  My mother enjoyed her dinner and her presents and most of all enjoyed the visiting.

Michelle, what an unfortunate end to a graduation!  Bad luck for your daughter.

Laurie, hang in there.

Tomorrow I go for an Echo test.  Stress test on Tues.  Apptment with cardio dr. on Thurs.  New BP med isn't working any better than the old med.  BP high in the morning and then moderates during the day.  Hope we can resolve this situation before the last week in June, when DH and I are planning to depart for the summer, towing our big 5th wheel camper.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and to all us daughters!

Happy mother's day to all! I just caught up on everything. Wow, Larie, you have been through the wringer lately. Hugs.



Congrats on the graduations Carrie and Michelle! Sorry aboutthemishap after. Wow hope everything willbe fine for your trip toParis.



Michelle, are you still waiting for results? I have been thinking of you. I really think it's just a fluke. I hate these tests that scare us to death. Will be sending you good thoughts and wishes.



Carol, hope you get the BP meds straightened out soon. It must be so frustrating.



Had a great day. We had my in laws over for brunch, my mil, her so, my bil, his wife and their eight and six year old and their new puppy. Lots of fun and excitement. My DD was wonderful with her little cousins. They really love it when she plays with them. She made me a mother's daycard,so cute! She's 14 and in8th grade. I think this is my last home made card. Idon't know why they don't end school inMay. She has three trips inschoolthis week and two concerts. Graduation is on June 11.



Had lox and bagels, scrambled eggs, frittata and home made ice cream for brunch. Yum! Had some tuna fish just now for a snack, still was pretty full from brunch. Hope everyone enjoyed their day.

 This picture was taken after graduation, and after she fell.  She had pretty much blown it off until we got to the restaurant and she sat for a while.  When she went to get up to leave, she couldn't straighten her knee and by the time we got her out the door, we knew we had to take her to Urgent Care.  Luckily, there was no wait and they took care of her fairly quickly.  I posted a few more pictures on Facebook for anyone who's interested.   Afterwards, we went back to her apartment and drank Prosecco! She stayed away from the hard drugs until much later. I spent the day with her today, and will go there tomorrow. She can work from home so we'll pick up her laptop from work. And I'll be able to take her to any doctor appts...she needs to call the ortho and her PCP.

I think I should hear the results of the PET tomorrow. I'm hanging onto the false positive thoughts, so I'm doing OK.

Deb - I had a lobstah roll for dinner, also, just not from Maine. DH grabbed dinner from a retaurant near DD's apartment.

Carole - good luck with your cardio tests this week. Yes, you sure want to be stabilized so you can head off with the RV...I am a little jealous. But our time will come!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! And oh, I think that's a big picture...lol! 

LuvRVing

OMG, it's ginormous!

Husband and I went to a local Middle Eastern hole-in-the-wall restaurant that we love tonight.  We split an order of hummus with pita, and I had a falafel sandwich with yellow lentil soup.  It was delicious!

Lacey12

Love the polka dots, Michelle! Sending good thoughts your way for tomorrow...



We had a lovely meal and walk around the Navy Yard area of Charlestown....really quaint....even the Tedeschi's store had a lovely small black sign with gold lettering in the same style as the historic buildings....funny to see that.

Will post a picture tomorrow when I get on my computer.

At least one can scroll right to see the whole picture.

Oh my gosh Michelle, the knee cap has got to be painful. hope she heals quickly with no pain. Your dress looks very cute! good luck tomorrow!

Laurie- I feel so bad for you that you have to go through this, i have an aunt and a very good friend that have anxiety attacks and it really can be debilitating. Don't know if thats really whats going on with you, but hope they find out soon so you can feel better.

Carol- Have you tried changing your meds? I know my DH had to change his twice before it made a difference.

Sorry for those i missed, im so tired and am going to bed 

carolehalston

Debbie, I'm on a new med prescribed by the cardio dr.  It's not any more effective than the old med.  I'm thinking about going off the arimidex for a week just to see if it's the culprit.  SEs are elevated BP and cholesterol (among a long list of other SEs).  Since starting Arimidex, I've gone on cholesterol med.  I also am finding it impossible to lose 12 extra lbs. gained since starting Arimidex 2 plus years ago.

Michelle, hoping for good news from you.

I'm off to walk.  Then the Echo apptment at 9:20.

carolehalston

I'm using a new laptop with the latest Windows program and everything looks fine on this new format, except I have a wide gray margin on the left-hand side.  Other than that, I'm getting used to the new look.

carberry

Carole  Where are you departing to?  Good to get that all straightened out before you go...dont want any problems on the road.  When they changed my BP meds, I found that it took some time to start working.  How do you feel?  I can feel when mine gets elevated.

Michelle beautiful pic and love the dress, Your hair has gotten so long. I should change my avatar as my hair is now down to the bottom of my neck.

Did pork chops on the grill....no steaks at BJs, all sold out.  but found a carribean mango sauce to go on them and they were delicious...my DH ate 2! After seeing my mom yesterday we went boating, just me and my DH ( which is unusual, as we usually have a crowd) and he brought a sub from subway for our lunch. Its the best I am gonna get from him as a cook LOL  but it was just so darn relaxing, just the two of us!

Kaara

Michelle:  Love your hair!  So sorry about your DD...hope she is feeling better by now.  That is a great photo.  We took some as well at Mother's Day brunch, but don't know how to post.

Carole:  It's good that you're going through the heart workup...if that shows nothing, then it is probably the Arimidex and there are others you can switch to.  Not worth risking the good health you have.

Laurie:  Hope your PVC's are becoming more manageable.  Did they give you a beta blocker to calm them down?  That should help some.

Deb:  That lobsta roll sounds good.  We tried one when we were in Maine last year. 

LuvRVing

Carole - that grey margin on the left will soon be filled with advertising and other "stuff". I am not crazy about some of the layouts, but the posting/reading format works for me.

Laurie08

Michelle- I am thinking of you and checking this page avery 1/2 hour to see if you got results.....I am ready to celebrate with you.....

LuvRVing

No word yet. I called my mo this morning so she knows I am waiting for her call. The longer it goes the more I am worried. Can't help thinking that her nursex would have called by now if everything was ok...

Laurie08

no no!  Keep the postivie thoughts going!!  Easier said than done...

Kaara

Michelle:  Sending prayers that all will be well with your scans!  It would seem to me that if there was anything wrong they would call right away, but because all is ok it isn't a big priority (for them).

Laurie08

Michelle- I agree with Kaara, usually no news is good news. although I am getting anxious where we haven't heard from you.

Where I never made it grocery shopping last week I am trying to scrounge up something for dinner.  We are going to have grilled chicken wraps with whats left of the veggies.  Boys will have the grilled chicken with some pasta.

Kaara- BTW, since I started taking the probiotics the PVC;s have been much better.  Now I go days without them and just have episodes.  Now I'll have to call you Dr Kaara

debbie6122

Michelle..... Hope all is ok!

I had a nice day yesterday. Got up and made a nice breakfast. Scrambled eggs with ham and cheese, hash browns, cut up fresh fruit, had cantalope, strawberries, bananas, apples, (a little semichocolate cream cheese for the fruit) banana blueberry nut muffins and OJ. Was very good. Then we drove an hour to get DH shoes he needed for work, then met friends and had a nice lunch. then went to a couple wine tasting places so fun but only sipped didnt want to overindulge. Then we all went to a casino (not DH's) got home really late but had a great time.

I dont mind the empty grey box to the left, rather have that then the soon to come ad's!

LuvRVing

Hi everyone!  Just checking in because I know you are all waiting...and unfortunately, we shall continue to wait.  I was sure I'd hear today, called the doctor's office at 8:30 this morning to make my point that I would be suffering scanxiety until I got news.  Still no call, and I'm not expecting one this late, so we shall continue the vigil.

I was busy all day with my daughter.  She lives about 35 minutes away, I was at her place just before 9 this morning.  I took her to work and we were there for a couple hours, then we tried to pick up a copy of her xrays but the facility's duplicator wasn't working.  So we went to lunch, then went to the main hospital and got the CD with the xrays.  She had an appointment with an orthopedist surgeon at 3, so we drove from Mancester to Nashua for that, then I took her home, got her settled, walked her dog and played with him for a few minutes.  Then I drove home.  Phew, what a busy day!!!

Debbie - your day yesterday sounds delightful!

Laurie - glad you are feeling better...thanks, Dr. Kaara!

Not sure what we're doing for dinner.  I told DH that since I'm a stress "non-eater" I'd be happy with popcorn.  I'm sure that won't work for him, though.  If we hadn't eaten pizza on Saturday, I'm sure that would be his go-to dinner.  He's stressing worse than me... I got a call from my mom's doctor to schedule an appointment.  Both my mom's doctor and my MO have last names that begin with W.  When mom's doctor's nurse called, she asked for me and he asked the nurse if it was good news or not so good news.  She told him she had to talk to me directly to schedule an appointment, so he gave her my cell phone number and he immediately went into panic mode.  When I was talking to the nurse about my mom, she mentioned that my DH was very upset about my mom, so I explained that we were waiting for PET scan results for me.  So she said I'd better call him right away.  Poor thing, he had assumed the worst!  Then he said, "oh yea, she did say Ward, not Walsh!"  Good thing I called him, he might have had a heart attack before I got home!

Michelle,



Sometimes no news is just that, no news, and nothing more ominous than that... As I just experienced with my mammo/US where I got called back in to the US room because the radiologist wanted more US images of one area and came down and did it himself....



They usually are very good about calling within a couple of days so when a week went by and no call my mind did wander to the dark side but, turns out my BS has to sign off on the reports before calls are made and she was out for a couple days... They were just behind...



Thinking of you and sending you peaceful thoughts!



PS... Pretty pic of you and the girls! So sorry about DDs accident but sounds like she's in good hands now!

LuvRVing

Thanks, Seaside!  I'm trying to keep all that in mind...no news is good news.
