And an array of breakfast pasteries. Cyber calorie free..
Are available as you choose.
I'm sorry I missed everything yesterday..
I'll try to catch up on the posts as I'm feeling better through the day.
I was pleased to see that some folks do prefer that we continue the check-in kind of posts. I enjoy getting an idea how everyone's doing..without having to necessarily go through multiple threads and/or. Journals... if I happen to not be feeling so great myself.
Sooo..WHAT's UP? How do yo be? :-)
Big plans? Little plans? None whatsoever?
Me... mostly in the nonewhatsoever catagory until after my cardio and pulmonary appointments ( one in the setting up stage.. and one scheduled for mid April). Anywaaay.. keeping it mellow as can for now.
How's about you ?
Do tell
:-)
HUGZZZZ
jc
You're a WonderWoman!!
I shoukd've made you a heartier breakfast. :-)
I hope your day is as good as can be.
Hugs
Hope everyone has a great day and week and thanks for checking up on me Jancam.
You know how my mornings go. It's Comedy Central around here with 3 cats including a Calico kitten who wants to be in charge, an adult male who is in charge and Jack who is somewhere in the middle. We've been keeping Max from catching her but he's patient. He'll get his paws on her just to let her know who the boss is and everyone will learn how to co-exist. I'm doing pretty good painwise despite all the activity. I'm planning on enchiladas tonight, God willin'. I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Hugs, the Cat Herder.
jc, I hope you feel better as the day goes on.
Pink, I remember those days. You have a real long day ahead. I hope you're able to sit or find a position of comfort sometime today!
drangon, I'm with you on staying out of hospitals! I hope you start feeling well soon. Rest, Rest, Rest!
Sorry you're unwell on top of all the usual.
I hope you have great improvement very soon.
I hear ya on trying to stay out of hospital..
Hey.. there are sick people in there that could be contagious ! :-)
I, honestly have had times lately where I probably really should have gone to ER..
And.. just didn't feel well enough.
No kidding.. that was my thinking at the
time. :-)
Gr8ful.. :-) ( I still just like saying that name...:-) :-)
Good too see you again..
I'm SO glad your pain has eased some.
Seems you're on the verge of a ( mostly) peaceful coexistance for your feline friends. :-)
A testament to your fortitude and .. and your good heart.
Hugs all
I had to revert to the begging to get a date to see The Who 50th anniversary concert with me....I asked four women I know and liked...none of them wanted to go to see who....so I posted out on my meetup singles site that I have an extra ticket to see show from Groupon that I bought for friend who now had to go out of town that weekend....so to my liking one lady called me this morning from my email and wanted to go...I did not have a visual picture of her in mind when she called but I said yes would give ticket to her for $60 which is price I paid plus fifty cents...what my friend gave me for the ticket already so she will get her money back...
anyway I go onto meetup to give her my address to come ride together to show and low and behold she was the birthday girl last meetup we had for birthdays and I had given her the birthday kiss....LOL She is nice and I had my eye on her for while too because she is a silver fox....LOL
anyway now on to todays coffee clutch...
glad JanCam got us going today...I slept well into morning to phone ringing with telemarketer caller that was robo call and hung up on me when I answered...blocked that in my Iphone now....
Jancam I wish you would get break on the heart issues...those scare crap out of us....
Pink your a dedicated momma to the three girls...they better smile at you with those clean teeth....:-)
Dragonfly I am sorry you are sick on day off but that is better than being sick and forced to work while sick I suppose....yes stay out of hospital unless needed....the doctor will tell you if it is required...
Gr8ful2b nice to have you come by say hi as usual...cat herders unite!
Well I gotta get some lunch before my ultrasound of my urinary tract today at 1:30pm....so I am off to Steak n Shake I suppose....need to get something good to eat...maybe a salad...
Off soon for my second trial nerve blocks so nothing to drink for me..can you say thirsty.
Pink I hope you are bugging them for your appointment. Your afternoon and evening sounds hard on the back but something tells me you endure and have for quite awhile. Do your girls do competition cheer?
Dragon I am with you on the hospital. Hope you didn't pick this mess up at one of your other appointments. Miserable stuff the bronchial and scary as well. Sounds like you are keeping an eye one it.
Gre8ful aka cat herder good to see you here. Enchiladas sound delish. Thinking Miss Roxy will soon learn her brother Max is the boss of the house.
Bill I am smiling. You met your mystery woman again. I hope this will be like a date. Silver Fox indeed.
jc good to see those fuzzy slippers and your fuzzy self back again.
wishing less pain and more joy to all here and all who follow
hippy
I did have to call my family doctor earlier today to see about either getting something stronger for pain or let them increase what I am taking now. After a 4 1/2 hour wait, they finally did call back and now I can take 2 tablets every 6 hours to see if that helps with the pain.
Hubby went with me to doctor's appt. this morning and decided he would work from home the rest of the day - I just hate when that hapens....lol. When he's home I lose access to the remote control and end up having to watch shows like Gunsmoke and Bonanza when I would much rather be watching my Law & Order or Reba. But it's all good - of course when he's on the phone with a client he turns the volume down so low on the TV I have no idea what is going on with the show so I lose interest and come into the den and get on the computer - it's my second best friend......hope everyone had or is still having a good day.
Hi Skeeter well that is good on the test not hurting so bad as to be called pain...when will you get results?
I am done with my ultrasound...had no idea they went from front side...I laid on the gurney on my tummy and she had to tell me to turn over...LOL
my results will be given to my primary care who is now back....well phone just rang and it was nurse...results are they suggestive of small stones on both sides and nothing is obstructing but they did not scan the urature so I asked about IVP which might be more able to tell about things that are headed to the bladder....I do not know if it will but worth checking on....testing needs to be done by March 31st as medicaid is paid now and I am getting these tests paid by medicaid now....my spend down was met with dental work on 3/12 it is $420 but as of April 1st goes up to $433 for some odd reason....
I had my Nerve Test done yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There were a few times though that the shocks definitely got my attention. Glad to have that test over and now just have to get through the Muscle Test on the 30th.
Called my family doctor yesterday and let them know that the pain meds that they have me on were not working so they increased my dosage and right now I am doing great. Feeling a little "loopy" and 'groggy" but my leg is not hurting. I still feel the urge to move it constantly but that could just be out of habit now.
Hope everyone out there has a great "Hump Day". The week will be over soon so hang in there.
Think I am a little late calling in.....better late than never.
Sounds everyone is having a mixed bag kinda day.
Bill - you cheeky fox. Go get em!
JC - a little worried about you.. Sounds like heavy stuff and a lot to handle. I'm hoping you get a ray of sunshine soon.
Nerves!! Why o why nerves!! That saying "you're getting on my nerves" - I really understand where is comes from now...
I am pooped from being in a car too much, a lot of sitting and I ate garlic bread with two tonne of garlic. What a day. Super sore and the nerves are jittery.
Think I might sit down to JC's super yummy cyber breaky.
Cheers
