I am doing OK, chest hurts A LOT. Dr says I have pleurisy and possibly gall bladder symptoms. Took tons of scans today with the ultrasound. Told me I could leave and I was getting into the car and they ran out and asked me to come back for more scans. Should have the results tomorrow.
Pleurisy? Wow, you don't hear about that much. Is it viral? How is it contracted? I'm so sorry that you are going through all this. Take care!!!

I just popped in to say hello and goodnight! I won't be on in the morning. I'm taking my MIL over to the main hospital for a repeat mammogram. They told her to plan to be there for at least two hours. Lord, help me! The woman drives me crazy as it is - imagine my joy at having to sit and listen to her ask questions about every little thing for two hours! I'll go out of my freakin' mind! LOL! I'm hoping they'll do one mammogram and tell her she's clear to go!
I hope everyone has a great day. Know that I'd much rather be here chatting with y'all!!!!!!!
I don't mop as often as I should. It's just such a fruitless effort. My cat Sassy drinks water by dipping her paws in the bowl then licking them. So she tracks little paw prints all over the floor.

Thanks for asking. It was just eh. My mil and fil are so sweet, but it was annoying. It was like they had a list of things that they wanted to do with Gage, and they didn't care that we were there.
The worst of it was that we said they could give him a bath on Sunday night, and my mil kind of dipped his head in sink, and I didn't understand what she was doing. She said, "I don't drown him like you guys do". You guys know that I don't get mad, and I was fuming! She meant to say she doesn't pour water over his head like we do -- which he enjoys. She just said it in the worst way. I told her that she hurt my feelings, and she kind of blew it off. I pretty much hung out in our room for the rest of the time.
Awww! That wasn't very nice, maybe she was being defensive?
once I get the results from the ultrasound tomorrow, I plan on calling the hospital and letting the bear loose on them. first of all they were not very nice to me. Total different experience I had than when Brandon went on Friday. I got there and I couldn't catch my breath and breath. I was panicking and the nurse tells me that I am fine to take deep breaths. She wheels me into the back room and tells me to get on the bed. She sees me struggling to breathe and I ask her to help me on the bed and she says "No, you can do it yourself". Then she is yelling at me to take off my shirt so she can put electrobes on my chest. I ask her to help me and again she replies, "No, you can do it yourself". So I get undressed and they put the elecrodes on me and the Dr comes in to listen to my chest and he can hear my breathing is shallow and labored and he asks me to breathe quieter. They take a chest x-ray and a ct scan and say all is normal and sends me home with 101 fever and blames it on the fibromyalgia.
I know! Glad Brandon had a good experience at least. He was so scared and they were so good to him. Told him he might not need a shot and would probably need 2 or 3 stitches or staples. Nurse got him settled and came back as she was leaving the end of her shift to check on how "her guy was doing". So nice. My Dr joked and said I got the nurse Ratchet crew.
Good to see you How have things been going with you? Keeping up around the house okay?
Hi! Pretty good! Keeping up as best as I can anyway. Another open house this Saturday, so keep your fingers crossed.
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't, but I rely on Kevin a lot to help me with the yard. I don't know why. All I really ever ask him to do is the trim and the ditch, except for that weekend we were at Porcha I asked him to do it all.
I got a talking to last week at work. I had a bad week. Just several errors. My job is extremely detail oriented and requires a good bit of investigation, so it's easy to miss things. I was just off my game. My supervisor wasn't out of line or an *** about it. I really couldn't blame her. It just made me feel bad, because I know I am better than that, but she doesn't. So I am really trying to focus this week and do better.
Pretty good. I could complain about the same old things, but I won't! LOL! Ok maybe I will! Some days I feel very overwhelmed with selling this house, because things aren't moving, I get lowball offers, and I wonder, do I sell at a reduced price, with keeping in mind rates are so low right now, and anything I buy will also be a lower price than it would be in a better market, or do I keep waiting? In the end, I could make out the same.
Most of the time I just go with it and figure it will happen as it's supposed to. My major concern is I need a car. I can't afford one until I sell. I worry I will have to put more money it my old junky Stratus.

well it's the least Kevin can do, so don't feel bad.
Sorry you had a bad week at work. Glad your boss wasn't an *****. Hope you have a better week.

Poor you!
I'd be curious to know what your gall bladder symptoms are.

keeping my fingers crossed that you will sell the house and at a price you are happy with.

I sure hope you feel better!
pain in the chest and stomach area off and on for 3 weeks. Saturday it felt like I ate something and it was stuck there all day, when all I had was a cup of coffee in the morning to set it off. Have been very bloated for 2 weeks and been a few days since I went to the bathroom (sorry I know TMI)

Sounds like Riley.
He is a messy drinker! There's a placemat under his bowl that I change out and wash but EW!
Then it's the boy and the dog dragging mud & grass in from playing outside.
I almost think it's pointless until I see paw prints or spilled coffee.
I am considering shutting my cable and internet off in October.
Things are just still too tight. I mean I guess I could spend less money on the weekends, but I'd rather have that extra $124 for fun money than cable and internet.
This would be just until I sell and move. I'm not crazy about the idea, but it will free up some cash.

I bet the new job and all of the changes you've had of late can distract you. Even if you don't feel distracted...
Sorry that it happened but now you're buckling down. No wonder we don't see you much!
Aly-I am so sorry you had such a sucky experience at the hospital! That just totally blows. I hope you stick it to them tomorrow!
thanks Kris. I plan on it
I am so itchy too. Broke out in hives all over my body. Not sure what caused it, fever or whatever infection I have. Dr says steroids should help. Taking them for the pleurisy.

Eesh. If it's temporary then maybe you won't mind but you did say you're not watching much tv...maybe you will appreciate the $ more than the tv you don't get to watch.

Ugh. you poor thing. I hate that you're in pain!
thanks Edie. It sucks. My boss is so great though. When I called her from the hospital yesterday she told me she would call in a sub not to worry and when I called from the Dr today she told me not to come in tomorrow to stay home and rest. And all my co-workers have been calling to see how I am doing.

An understanding boss makes it easier. If you had the pressure of work on top of this you'd feel that much worse!
Ron took me out Saturday to a nice restaraunt called Erie Station. I had cajun shrimp alfredo.... oh my yum!
I made a major breakthough this weekend. It's kind of funny and irritating to me all at the same time. Ron has a group of friends he has been friends with FOREVER. Like all through school. The group is six guys including Ron. Sometime back, before I ever even met Ron, Gretchen was telling me about these guy friends of Melanies that she met, and the conversation came up because Melanie likes one of them (Rons friend Kristian) and one of the things she told me is these guys are slow to warm up and are not very welcoming to new girlfriends to the group.
Let me tell you - she wasn't joking. These guys barely ever even spoke to me when I saw them, sometimes they didn't even say hello. Of course I am thinking what a bunch of jackholes. I can't imagine, say for example, Gretchen bringing a new guy around and me not talking to him. Well this weekend we went up to the bar after dinner to meet up with his friends and Gretchen and Melanie - and ALL of them spoke to me and said hi to me, and engaged me in conversation. I was stunned. Even the worst of the two, because not all of them were bad. Weird dymanic those guys have. I am relieved because I used to dread and avoid going up to "their" bar. Not that we even did all that often, but the few times we did.
I told Gretchen, I guess this makes me official now. LOL!

Keep your fingers crossed that the stuff brewing off of Africa doesn't turn into anything for me wouldja? I'm really scared at the two spots out there that have a chance of becoming storms canceling my trip!

Oh getting on from work is not doable at all. I have a heavy workload. Maybe in time, but for the forseeable future, I won't be on during the day at all.

I'm hoping they'll do one mammogram and tell her she's clear to go!
