Nothing to exciting for me this week. The plant is on shutdown, so I'm neck deep in projects, wiring panels, and such. I do have an MRI this evening, although I'm not sure of what area it is of, lol. My wife and daughter is on vacation starting Wednesday, so the rest of the week is pretty much unplanned for me. I'm really looking forward to the promised colder weather front that is supposed to moving in.

I hope everyone has a great week planned!

Have a great day!

I have VERY exciting plans.  On Sunday my sister and I will drive about 3 hours north and join Lulu, her hbby and a friend of theirs in a cabin on the south side of Mount Ranier for the day.  Whoopeee!

Quix

[Sailorsong]

All that is planned for this week is a TB test on Thursday.

QuixL Take me with you please! :) Mount Ranier is where I first fell in love with nature at the age of 9,

I'm JEALOUS! I want to go to Mt. Ranier!!!! It's beautiful there! Got room in the trunk or on the hood as a hood ornament??

Instead I have an interview with the company hired by former employer to handle my SSDI claim tomorrow.

Wed. - PT

Have a great time Quix with Lu and company!!!!!

Mt Rainer, huh?  That sounds like a lot of fun.  My cousins have a cabin up there somewhere.  If you get a chance, drive up the mountain and take pictures.  We were there in July, and there was still snow on the ground.  Granted, it was mostly muddy, dirty snow - but still snow.

I have nothing at all going on this week.  Just got two video games, and I've got a new roll of leather to play with, so it looks like I'll be inside for the 4th.

I too have a super exciting week planned.  I have my first appointment with my new PCP here in Ann Arbor.  I am hoping that we hit it off right away.  She is from the University of Michigan, so that's a good thing.

That's about it, I don't have plans for the long weekend.  I am thinking about buying some fabric and making new pillows though.   Exciting huh"

I always live on the edge:-)

I have first counseling session today...first speech therapy session tomorrow and pcp appointment on Wednesday.

I am completely and utterly available for SUNDAY (hint hint).  Does it count that I have NEVER been there?  I have bungee cords!  If Dennis is in the car and ren is the hood ornament, then I can just be bungeed to the roof!

Quix and Lulu, have a great time!!  And, RF - good luck with new doc!!

Addi

[addicted2harleys]

Oooops!  Good luck with MRI today Johnny!

[Sparkysarah]

No hospital appointments but a busy week with all sorts of other appointments for either the kids or me (new hair highllights..hooray my roots need serious attention!!)

My wonderful 82 year old godmother is staying "to look after me as my hubbie has just gone back to Afghanistan" and she is an example of how to stay well and keep going. She had breast cancer last year and has been thorugh many other health concerns and  has such aposiitive approach to laugh and she laughs forever! Laughter is a great tonic.

My sister is also coming to stay this week so that will be fun and for the rest of the time life is just about managiing having my three teenage kids home (although one is now 20) and feeding them etc etc...many of you with larger families know all about it.

Enough blathering on..have a great week everyone.

Love Sarah xxxx

Neuro, this morning.  Results of nerve conduction study.

And for the rest of the week - Nothing!  First time in months.  My to do list is backed up to about 2002, so I guess I'll spend the rest of the week sitting around thinking of things to add to it. LOL.

Realy, I'll spend alot of time in the garden watching the weeds grow.  (real exciting life I have here.......Hey Addi, you there?

Frank

[twopack]

Had neuro appt today.  I still have to process how I feel about it.  (hint: he told me, "You look good, great in fact.")

Have PCP appt tomorrow.  Dr. Jill always brings me back to positive thoughts.

Need to get that new laptop out of the box.  It's been sitting there for a couple of weeks now.  Pretty soon it will go obsolete before use.

FYI:  I too played in Mt. Ranier snow in July.  Tell Lulu to enjoy herself.  She's only missing more heat and humidity in Ohio.

[Sarahsmom46]

I know I have an appointment this week, but don't know with who or what day.  It helps to write stuff down when you have really terrible short-term memory.    Maybe it will come to me BEFORE the appointment so I don't get a "no show" fee. Then again, it might serve me right.  :)

[Sarahsmom46]

...Heck, I'll skip whatever appointment I supposibly have this week and head out West to meet up you guys (Lu and Quix) in the mountains.  Have lots of fun.

[anon07072023]

I'm going to the urologist on Wed (just a check up). And I'm going with my older brother on Thurs to the hospital for his lymph gland biopsy to see if he has Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

[anon07072023]

Oh, I used to go to Mt Rainier all the time when I lived there. We would camp near Paradise. And on the other side of the mountain near the White River.  Have fun!

[addicted2harleys]

Frank-

Hereeeee I am!  lol

Why, you want company watching the weeds grow?  Your place or mine?  I got em too!  lol

I am finishing two paintings for my gallery by Wednesday.

Tuesday night MS Support Group I missed last month because of my surgery.

The NC Senate is passing the joint ADA resolution sometime this week. Polly and I hope to be there and meet some of the lawmakers.

I hope to either ride my friend's horse or have a riding lesson at the Dressage place this week. I need exercise I have gained my ten pounds back.

Finish planting our herb garden so far we have lavender. We also have a vegetable garden and a medicinal garden.

I hope everyone has a good week.

Today's my birthday, and i forgot (lol) I knew it was soon but lost what day of the week we where at. So now i've got to try and remember that i'm now 46 and i've just got use to saying i'm 45, ROFL!

I vacuumed DS bedroom and lost my legs for a few days, still dealing with wobbly wobbly legs and no energy but will have to pull a rabbit out of my hat because it seems everyone is coming over for dinner, not good if the birthday girl is still in her jarmies lol

Nothing else is happening, still need to get DS ready for his assessment tests in a few weeks, still having trouble writing an essay, by the time he gets in his mind what he wants to write he's out of time. Open to any tips, tricks or magic potions to get him there in time?!

Hope everyone has a good week!

Cheers...JJ

This week is full but I too wish I was going to Ranier. Grew up in Olympia and have not seen it in years. I have finals this week, then two nighs in the ER (working not as a patient) then my neice is getting married on saturday........RAAAAIIIIINNNNEEEERRRR
BEEEEEERRRRRR I will never forget that commercial.

[Ufrustrated2]

it is well in triple digit heat here so i'm hibernating.

i made it back to the gym a few weeks ago working my way up to ~45min-1hr mild weight work out.

i eventually hit a brick wall and down for the count so i'm enjoying this while it lasts.

go view some pretty girls one late nite would be nice.

[twist330]

Oh I have a fun week, not! (teenageage daughter language, whoops just remembered she is infact 20)

Monday Neuro- pychology appointment. We shall see if I am completely mad.
Wednesday week back to Dr, who says I have RSD to tell him the neuro completley dismissed this idea. Oh and the Gabapentin ain't doing nothing.

What FUN uh!

[hbananas]

To the PCP this afternoon to see if she's happy with how the generic replacement for one of my BP meds is doing its job.  I had tried to go down to one medicine, but that didn't work, so she added the new one by phone.  Even though it's generic, it's still over $60 a month.  The two generics together total $90+ on my new QHDHP.

I haven't taken my own BP or got on the scale since.  I am quite certain one of those numbers is going to be disappointing.  My meager weight loss hadn't allowed me to get by on one drug, so I got a what the heck attitude about it.  Sigh.  Maybe the "don't look at the digital readout on the scale" method of denial will keep my embarrassment about the weight from affecting the blood pressure.  If the nurse doesn't tell me what it is.  Of course, if I have to say "don't tell me," that will start the whole blushing/pressure raising bit anyway.  Must begin the slow breathing and meditating thing as soon as I hit the front door of the building.

Hi all,

Nothing too much this week.  Husband was working out of town yesterday in New York, so I watched a movie.

Today, I am just trying to work (homebased medical transcriptionist), but cannot get motivated.......

bye....

Hectic for me. Work at work, and home. My daughter's 17th b-day today and trips to and from the airport for family members.  I hope this is the weak the heat breaks. 100 in the shade is ridiculous and I'm tired of it! lol
