5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 13

[scuba diver]

Saw the surgeon for follow up today and he tried to kill me. It was early, so I hadn't eaten and therefore hadn't taken a pain pill. He decided that he needed to remove all the dead skin and the scabs on my wound, god only knows why, because after he did, I don't remember a thing he said. He used tweezers and small sharp scissors and I was about to pass out. I swear, I don't think anything has ever hurt as much as that did.
But he seemed pleased with himself, and I think he said something about "now the scar will be nicer" or some damn thing. Did I CARE if it was nice???????
Other than that, I have no recollection of any of our conversation. I think he told me I could do anything I could "tolerate" as far as walking and all.......Megan was with me, and she said she was too "horrified" watching him to remember anything either.
I have an appt to see him again after I get back from Mom and Dad's.

THEN.....I had an emergency appt with our eye doc. I guess my foot wasn't enough, I had to go and get an infection in my right eye. Not pink eye...some other kind of infection. Lucky me. The eye is swollen shut, and I have to do drops and ointment for ten days. He said to "keep an eye on it" (no pun intended) because this kind of infection can easily go to the sinuses, and to see a doc in Omaha if I think that's happening.
I told Jay I think there should be a law that one person can only have one thing wrong at a time. No fair!!
So I feel really, really crappy. But...this too, shall pass I guess.

Sorry about the whining.......I'm just sick of all of it.

I have a feeling that by the time we get on the NCL cruise in December, the crew and anyone around will think I'm a loon. I'll be so excited, I'll be doing a dance!!

All I can say to this is.........It's hell getting old!

 

[scuba diver]

gaRry....don't the results of the lab scores also mean that you're staying stable, though? If so, that's a good thing. Trying to look at the bright side, and trying to keep my share of my liver too.

Not much going on around here. No therapy today, just an annual appointment for Ash at the vet this afternoon. Tossed in some of my own laundry so that I can pack to go to Mom and Dad's on Sunday. Sick of sitting around waiting for someone to help me. That's a good sign....some of the "feisty" is coming back!
I have to say that I am really, really looking forward to going to Omaha. Colder, I know....but quieter. The addition of Jordan's big dog Bo is driving me nuts. We might have to seriously think of finding him a home where someone is willing to go out and really run with him....or a huge yard to run in. He's just got too much energy for us. And most of the time, Jordan isn't willing to give him the attention he deserves. My own fault, I should have put my foot down (the good one??) and said "NO" in no uncertain terms. It's just that they're so cute when they're little.....kids and dogs!!

I was watching the Dog Whisperer the other night and he had dogs on the tread mill walking for hours. He felt that was a way to get them tired.

I have never tried it, but go ahead and give it a try!

Jared saw that same episode and actually did try it. I've never laughed so hard in my life. Scared the living daylights out of the dog.

[wdwgoose]

Hey gaRry...would early retirement include full benefits still??
If so, then I'd say "Go for it!".

And yes, YOUR babies WERE giving your wife a hard time. Especially the "old man".

Our cat loves the treadmill. One of these days I have to get video!

Stacey, take care of yourself!!!! We need you here!

Hi Guys,

Guess Who????

Anyone remember this song from Sesame Street?

"One of these things is not like the other.....
One of these things just doesn't belong........."


Hedgie, you and your pictures are just too cute!

 

[justmestace]

I drove the car today!!! First time in almost 7 weeks!



There will be no stopping me now!


And it was the Yukon XL. It was a little harder to get in since the right foot (good one) goes in first, leaving the left one (bad) to have to "push up" with...but I managed. Probably looked a little silly...trying to scoot up there...

I may have to trade Jordan the big car for the little one tomorrow. I think I'll leave the 2 girls to clean house while I go to therapy.

 

[kikipug]

Oh oh... watch out... Stacey's back on the road!

It's cloudy, and I just want to shut my office door and take a nap... Been staying up way too late watching my Red Sox, but, so far, its worth it... lets hope they can pull it off again this year!

Tomorrow is the last regular season football game in N. Brevard... then state cheer competition on Sunday in Orlando, tie-breaker to determine playoff berths Monday night (also in Orlando), and, if all goes well Monday night, Tuesday will be Round one of the playoffs (somewhere in Orlando or farther...) Wednesday will be Halloween, and my sister flies in at 11:30PM... which means another (late-night) trip back to Orlando to get her at the airport... I think I need a vacation!!!!!!!!

Trying to get to Epcot next weekend with her for F&W... but, once again, that depends on football... I don't want to count my chickens, but if things went REALLY well, we'd be tied up again all next weekend... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'd really love to take my sister there, though... last time she was in WDW was in 1984 for her honeymoon.

Last update we got on Zach was that he's flying back to FL on Saturday night... he can't go back to school for at least several months, and must go to the hospital every day for IV treatments... which, at best will give him 9 months to a year more with his family... so incredibly sad- especially for such a happy boy. Please continue to keep him and his family in your prayers... they sure need them.

GaRRY - saw the moon rise - it was a HUNTER'S MOON last night....Ours was also "blue" due to the cloud cover....I tried to capture the moon through the Halloween decorations on the Frangipani Tree.....tres cool, but the camera or camera operator was not cooperating...
So I have an image in my mind....

Hey KikiKaren, I think you need a vacation.....Maybe you should go with the Scuba's!!!!

Good Luck for the team I have not been able to stay up to cheer them on --- my bed calls.....

Thanks for the update on Zach, poor kid, but this sounds like he is holding his own which is good news, right? A little angel to look over him.....

It is dark and grey here as well......rained all night. We are heading to WDW this weekend and had hoped for good weather, alas, we will be taking the Panchos again.

The sooner I start work, the sooner I can leave.....

Happy Friday all...

 

[chip&dale&fun]

KikiKaren - this one is for you!!!!

ELLIE CAMPBELL LYRICS

"Just Another Rainy Day"

sitting here for hours just listening to the rain
waiting for the showers to dissapear
i'm losing track of time it's been going on for days
at times like these i can't believe the sky will clear

they say the wheatherman is smiling right up there on the screen
they say outside the sun is shining but it don't feel that way to me
i wish i knew what to do to chase the clouds away
cause every moment spent without you
is just another rainy day

it's getting out of hand all my friends think i'm insane
but they don't understand the way i feel....no
i never thought that losing you would turn my blue skies grey
the tears i cry are hard to hide now you're not here with me

they say the wheatherman is smiling right up there on the screen
they say outside the sun is shining but it don't feel that way to me
i wish i knew what to do to chase the clouds away
cause every moment spent without you
is just another rainy day

rainy day
without you baby
and though the world won't stop for you
it's not that i don't want it to
i wish i knew what to do to chase the clouds away
cause every moment spent without you
is just another rainy day

they say the wheatherman is smiling right up there on the screen
they say outside the sun is shining but it don't feel that way to me
i wish i knew what to do to chase the clouds away
cause every moment spent without you
is just another rainy day

they say the wheatherman is smiling right up there on the screen
they say outside the sun is shining but it don't feel that way to me
i wish i knew what to do to chase the clouds away
cause every moment spent without you
is just another rainy day

Cloudy days are perfect for sleeping in, and it stinks when you can't!


Continuing to send prayers for Zach....

 

[kikipug]

Cloudy days are perfect for sleeping in, and it stinks when you can't!

As much as I hate that it's getting dark earlier, I'll be glad when we change the clocks back... these few weeks before the time change are always the hardest to get out of bed!!!!!!!!

And this is day 2 that we haven't seen the sun... unusual for us... I'm spoiled!

 

[justmestace]

It's still hotter than snot here...in the 90's. I'm in for a rude awakening when I get to Omaha on Sunday. Will probably freeze to death.

But I'm ready for it to cool off here. Too hot for the end of October!

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Have a good weekend all!!!!!
