Oh, the MAIN thing: when the nurses and doctors asked me why I was doing so well, I told them that I had nuns, saints, and all the angels in heaven praying for me; but most of all, I had a wonderful Christmas family that was the best support of all.

Hope all is good with yourselves and furbabies
Weather looks dull this morning.
Had 3 pallets in yesterday and will get them finished today i hope as the shop is still a bit slack looking so am gonna try and get 2 for tomorrow as well. they dont like delivering on a saturday
I have took sinus tablets and i think i might as well have took sweets as they did no good. my right ear i can hardly hear out of it and the sound am getting is like underwater sound. its starting to get a bit annoying as i have to say to people, sorry what did you say !!! seems to be more when am standing or walking, when i lay down its seems ok.
Any way hope you all have a good day and you all take care

You all are part of the Miracle Network. And, now, from Pauline Harvey, you will hear the rest of the story. (I am home from the hospital, by the way.) I want to preface this by saying I ALWAYS do what the doctors tell me to do, always.

On Monday, I went to the doctor to get the INT (intravenous nutrient therapy) and even got some $ off!!!.

When I went to my car, I received a phone call from my oncologist. He said he had set up an appointment with a cardiologist. It appears the EKG at the pre-op showed some irregularities. Then the cardiologist called and we drove to Redding. He set up a stress test for the following day to see if I could be cleared for surgery on Wednesday. Well, no stress there!!! I went up on Tuesday for the stress test and the doctor said I was FINE, absolutely no problems except for a small murmur that I already knew about!!! He did set up an appointment for me to return in a year for another stress test. He cleared me for surgery.

I had developed a BAD cough AND a cold sore from one of my students on the last day in the classroom. It was definitely a chest cold. The oncologist sent me to my regular doctor. She prescribed an antibiotic, just to be safe, and some cough medicine. My cat-sitting friend told me about Mucinex. So I bought that and some Abreva and began swilling that stuff (Mucinex) down. I sounded terrible and knew the surgery would be called off. My cold cleared up a lot and the cold sore went away completely by surgery day. The anesthesiologist check my lungs, and they were perfectly clear, even with a cough!!!

I had to have eight shots, four in each breast, to inject me with dye and radioactive material for the sentinel node excision. I felt NO PAIN WHATSOEVER!!! The radiologist was amazed. Just before the shots, they checked my blood pressure. It was 116/70!!! My pulse rate was 54!!! I was so calm, and no one could believe it. The surgery took less time than the doctors anticipated. I have honestly felt NO PAIN from the surgery, only a soreness like when you start exercising after a long period of not having exercised.

I was progressing so well that the doctor asked me if I wanted to go home. He set me up with two home-health nurses that will come daily to check on me until my appointment with him on March 15.

When I got home from the hospital, the cardiologist had left a message that after rechecking my report I did NOT need to see him in a year for a stress test, but he would like to touch base with me to see how my exercise plan was going!!!

And now you know the rest of the story!!!

It brings tears to my eyes to read this , so wonderful to hear how well you are doing. Glad to hear you are getting lots of help and rest!

TGIF!? =]

But, what a day!? Im not doing good.. My head hurts.
An my youngest (3) started the day at 5AM!!
He went downstairs with his brothers (he had woke them up) so they were watching
the end of a 2 hour long movie when I got down at seven!
What was that? Haha.. I guess they are tired now!

And my daughter (14) 'lost' my VISA card. I found out this morning.
She went out to buy a glutenfree pizza last night, and I haven't seen the card since.

I have a lot of shopping to do (It's Friday!!), and I have to buy a birthday present
becaouse we are going to my sisters birthday party this afternoon.

I don't have any cash, at all!
Who has cash these days? I never have.. Just my card.
(and my DH does not land before midnight!)

I have to call the pizzaplace next door when they opens at one o clock.
Praying that they have my card there!
..but if they do I think they should have called me yesterday!..
Well, we will see...

Hope YOU have a much better day! :-D

Good Morning MMC!

Woke up at 5am this morning and just decided to get my day started.

My son gets his new bed tomorrow, it will be much better for him. This is one of those adjustable beds. He has a hiatus hernia and really suffers from heartburn and needs to sit up a bit at night when sleeping to keep him comfortable.
Only problem is how to get it up the stairs. Our stairs curve at the bottom and again at the top and this is a 2.2 m long bed that cannot be taken apart.
Good thing I have some strong brothers and nephews! I have to get all the hand rails taken down today.

Looking outside I should have left those fans on, everything is white again!
laying:

On I phone server let me briefly on then shut me out. Loaded google chrome but that did not work... Nothing working. Trying to get back. Everyone please harass crown about oversleeping.

Much yabba love.

scuffing up the walls will most likely happen, but better than my brothers idea of knocking out a wall!!

Finally made it home last night. I like to travel, but there is nothing like coming home. NOTHING.

Caught up through Wednesday's posts and I am happy to see that Seawaters is doing good. That's just what I wanted to hear.

Well, I'm off to greet another great Friday! See y'all later!

[Meceka]

((((((((SEAWATERS))))))))

Solice: I hope your day gets better.

Shellie: I hope you are better soon.

Dawg: I hope you get back on track soon.

Good morning, MMC!

There is a light dusting of snow on the ground - could be the last snow of the season!

The rest of the month is going to be very busy. I am working on expanding the business - creating a logo, setting up a web page, etc. I have created logos before, but I know nothing about setting up web pages - should be very interesting! My goal is to get everything in place by June 1st, the fourth anniversary of my business opening. Wish me luck!!!

Have a very MERRY day!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning, Eve of the Weekend Friends.

So fast, we have arrived at the end of another work week.
So soon, we approach yet another Milestone on our voyage back to Christmas:
Days to the Season: 249
Days to Christmas Day: 291
And thus we pass under a week to the the 1/3 marker to Christmas Season 2012!
Scary!

Another warm start (61 degrees) this morning, with light rain falling.
Chilly weather is predicted to return tomorrow.
Instead of yesterday's 70's we will be lucky to reach the 50's for the high Saturday with the Sunday morning low back below freezing again.
(Winter is not through with us yet!)

OK, Folks!
You gear up for a Wonderous Weekend to follow your Fabulous Friday!
