Happy Monday!! Sheesh - hubby and I are both 60. I know it's the physical activity that's getting to him . Especially after the accident. We're acting partially retired and doing the things we want and going to the places (Disneyland) that we want to do together. We have to work to support this Disney habit...lol. I think…

Sheesh - .8lb reduction!! WOW. I sure hope you get to feeling better soon and hopefully the doc will have some answers for you. Sarah - so happy the radiation treatments are going well and you're finding an upside with the mall nearby. Smile for the pictures today!!! Also, what happened with Toni? Did you ever reconnect…

Star Wars Nite tickets secured for me and my sister in April. Hotel is secured. Park reservations complete. Sisters trip is planned. Kelly - oh man!!! I had the batch of "pokes" on my back. But that was only a few hours, not days. I feel for you and hope you get answers!! Happy Anniversary to you, Shawn and your parents!!!

Sarah - SO happy all went well today!! You've got this!! You're going to do amazing!!! Thanks for the support. Not fun being tied to the restroom when we're not ill.

Happy Monday ladies I had my doc appt this past Saturday. Yes, the numbers are still increasing. Per the doc, some of the changes could have been impacted from the prednisone and pain medications I've recently started for my back since I'd started shortly before my blood draw. So, we're going to do another set of labs in…

Good news - my daughter has gone back home. She had left her in laws in the hotel for a couple of days as a couple of small fires had been started again. But she's confident today and bringing them home this afternoon. And yes, hubby got me a copy of his work calendar and I've plotted out Disneyland trips on the weekends…

Good Wednesday morning. Great to see your post Sarah. Good luck with simulation tomorrow and hopefully Monday will be a breeze. Yeah, not getting a call back from PT is so bizarre. I'm a cash cow for them...lol... Anyhow I have my appt Friday as long as I don't get called for jury duty tomorrow. The new muscle relaxers…

Good Tuesday afternoon. Had my doc appt this morning. More muscle relaxers and direction to go to PT. A new person answered the phone at PT and was weird when I asked about my two messages I had left on Friday. Anyhow, I have an appt for Friday afternoon. But first, I may have jury duty so I won't know until tomorrow…

Sarah - Great group goal - get our healthier selves back!! I love it. Kelly - great to see your post and please all of you stay home if at all possible. Back is still out - went for a 90 min massage on Saturday in hopes of getting some relief. The massage itself was amazing. But it didn't help the back too much. Thursday I…

Great job Sheesh and I hope it's not because you haven't been feeling well. Made it to and back from Scottsdale. Back spasms kicked in just before I left the office. Sadly my sales software is down and I'm on standby for the support team to get us back up and running. I'd rather be on my recliner on an ice pack. The Advil…

Oh my goodness Sheesh - your family pics are AWESOME!! Sara - so bummed to hear about your ER visit(s)!! The Scottsdale drive on work day traffic is anywhere from 45mins -1+ hours. Woot woot for the girls being back together and planning for a great 2025!!!

Kelly - oh man I feel for Shawn. Years ago my son had to take our 6'5" paramedic neighbor to the hospital for that kind of pain and he also had kidney stones as well. My son was in high school at the time (now 37 - so awhile ago)., but he still remembers how much pain our friend was in. My DIL recently had one and my son…

Sheesh - I look forward to your pics. Love seeing the family. And yes, once the crates move to storage, I'm sure I'll be back to liking my regularly scheduled home ... lol My back really spasmed last night. I'm not sure what is happening and I couldn't find my muscle relaxers. But I was thankful for the adjustable bed and…

Welcome back Sheesh!! Glad you and the family had a great time. And yay for your tan. I used to get teased as I wear SPF 100 (50-70 regularly). I'd go to Hawaii and come back from Hawaii as tan-less as I had left. Hubby and son came back super dark as they have the island color naturally. I slathered the sunscreen hourly…

Oh Sarah!!! I'm keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. How scary but so happy your doc and Hopkins are so helpful and responsive. So glad it's not a perforation. So that is great news. Focus on getting better. Yes, Christmas Eve was actually warmer than normal - even for us. And it has to be very cold for hubby…

Oh my goodness. The week has flown by. I have started several posts and never got to "post'. Year end work and the holidays are insane this year. Last night was my daughter in law's 2nd college graduation, this round with her Bachelors in Engineering. So proud of them to stick it out and achieve these accomplishments. My…

Great news Sarah!!! I'm glad you met with them and had such a positive experience. That is half of the battle, the calm that comes with knowing you're in good hands. I know it will be helpful to you! Hugs!!! At Starbucks their Mint Majesty tea is the bomb. That's my fave when I don't want to go with coffee or the other…

YAY for Ella!!! Now the road to recovery. The challenge I encountered, was like her, boredom which led to overactivity. So be sure she still gets in her rest period to allow her body to heal. So glad it all went well!! Good luck Mama!! Be sure to check in on yourself and Shawn as well. Once she is mobile enough and feeling…

Oh my goodness... what a weekend. We got into Cathedral City about 2am. Slept until 6ish and hit the road before 7. We got to Disneyland about 830am and chatted with a cast member on how to see the Candlelight Procession. Welp. All curb spots were already taken and spare seat allotments were already dispersed. We were told…

Happy Friday ladies - and yes Sheesh - we have a spare room and plenty of sunshine to share so yes, you're welcome to visit...lol. Some mornings I get to enjoy a cuddly sweatshirt and by lunch (sometimes breakfast), back into my short sleeve tech shirt. Kelly Happy Birthday to your daughter and I will pray for a speedy…

Sheesh - those pictures are ADORABLE....love the pedi picture. Core memories were made!!! ANd it looks so cold. Brrrrr.. Sarah - that pic is awesome. so serene and relaxing. I hope your little Teddy improves. Losing them is so hard. That's why after our last cocker spaniel past away, we didn't get another. The heartache…

Sheesh - it sounds like you had an amazing holiday celebration with your family. And yes, we are getting our money's worth from the DL passes. One last trip for the remainder of the year. Can't wait to get some more trips lined up for next year. My back is feeling much better today. I drove to/from the office and sat…

Happy December! Hoping everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We had a great time. Saw family for Thanksgiving. Then off to Disneyland for for days. LOL. Stopped at DL before settling into our hotel room and ran over to DL for a couple of hours to SHOP. Bought my pins that I wanted and silly popcorn buckets and sippers that…

OK. I'm so old now!!! After making my lasagna, as I was cleaning the countertop I did something to my back and I've been suffering with back spasms and gasping for the past two days!!! UGH. Went to urgent care this am and got an rx for a muscle relaxer and prednisone. Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow night to travel…

WOW. Never thought about doing it from frozen. And yes, my first thought went to the neck and giblets -- eww. And no, I keep a turkey in my freezer for almost a year all of the time. I may give that a go sometime when I don't need to feed anyone else, and I usually get a 16lb or larger...I'm sure I can adjust the time.…

Sheesh - great job and good news from the doc! And I agree - keep going with the trainer. Be careful with the jumping and dancing. I'm still wary since rupturing my Achilles while dancing/jumping. I love having thanksgiving at home and the fall decorations. The only reason we're jumping on Christmas is because we will be…

Oh Sarah I feel for you and truly wish I could do something to assist. I like the idea of getting into another facility. Two of my friends/colleagues are going through some and they each had a "liaison" who was handling their appointments. SO I truly hope you get somewhere where the service, treatment and responses are…

Happy Monday morning Ladies. Sarah - the uptick may just be your body holding onto everything with the stress you're feeling about your treatment plans. Plus extra sugar - but that's just my thoughts. I know it's easier to say when it's not you, but I agree with the radiologist... :wink: And then I do the same thing, so…

Oh my goodness. Returned from my Cali trip - EXHAUSTED doesn't define it - not even close. LOL. Drove to Oceanside Thursday morning. Got there early afternoon. Had lunch and checked into the hotel. Got a little settled then explored how to find the hotel my friends were staying. So super easy to find. Back to hotel to rest…
