I had to giggle at your post the day of your surgery

aw the shower a little bit of heaven, when I first got in there after getting hurt I stayed in so long I thought I would drain the hot H2o tank

I agree continue on with the UPB as planned

You mentioned idea of villians, do you know about the Limited Time Magic planned for Villians at DHS for the 13th hour on Fri Sept 13th I think you should do something re-that, maybe even with a clock striking the 13th hour ? I don't have any skills like most of you, just some thoughts

See, this is something I did not need to know. I'm trying to be the strong one in our little pair, as DH keeps making hints about not passing up any good deals for this year. But I LOOOOOOVVVVVEEE villains and never get enough time with them. And September is the time we usually go.

Sorry - I'll stop whining now. And agree that everyone is right about the UPB. Similar ideas do not make something identical.

This day is not going at all how I planned it...

I never did figure out where my appointment was for...

Then, I am still feeling all funky and weird. I thought it was from the medication I was taking - but I have taken nothing at all since 8pm last night, not even Tylenol. And I haven't taken any of the strong stuff since the night before that. I just feel very fuzzy, tired, disjointed, almost dizzy. It's very bizarre and not like me at all. I did call the triage nurse this morning, and she seemed to think if was still lingering from the anestesia... Which is fine - but you would think that after 4 days - it would be gone? She said to give it another day or two...

Anyways, I went back up to bed at about 9:30 this morning, because I could not keep my eyes open a minute longer, and I slept until 1:15 this afternoon... I've been awake for 15 minutes, and I swear I am nodding off as I am typing this. I feel like I could go right back to bed this moment and sleep for another few hours. This is soooo not like me at all.

Needless to say - I have not make it in to my sewing room at all today - which I am NOT happy about at all... I have so much to get done and I just can't seem to get in there to do it. Sigh.

D~

I know the feeling; I've been out of it all day too and I don't have surgery to accuse. I hope you can get back up and going soon. For your sake. Not being able to do what you plan is irritating - at best. And for healing you want soothing, not irritating.

I'm not a huge Duffy fan, but the bag looked great! I'm glad that the auction went well.

March is almost here and I'm still betting that this February Funk y'all up there in "Yankee Land" have been in will go away.

 

[solana131]

Oh D... I hope you feel better soon! I am no doctor, but that would worry me too...4 days after and they think it is still from the anestesia?? Get better soon my friend!

 

[ladylyons]

I hope you start to feel better soon. Listen to your bod and get all the rest you can. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!!

 

[cogero]

Aw D I am sorry you aren't feel good. It is probably the anesthesia which probably needs to work its way out. I know I had a lot of uncomfortableness for 2 weeks while the stupid gas they use in your incisions worked its way out.

 

[Chicago Mo]

This is your body telling you need to rest in order to heal..
Sleep it all off!!!
I hope you feel better SOON!

 

[DMGeurts]

D~ Sorry to hear your still having some discomfort hopeing all goes well at the Dr today

Thanks Sheila!

Remember you just had surgery and it will take awhile to feel 100%. Give yourself some time and rest as needed. You WILL feel better. Sorry about that rash,yuck! Ruth

I know... I just feel like it shouldn't take so long.

Im glad you doing better!!! REST AND EAT!!! gah, I hated the wrappings on all my surgeries i had to have my next door neighbor (nurse) do it. i have a queezy tummy when it come to all that. but the kids i am strong!
the Duffy bag was my favorite so far! and all your ideas are original... if someone has the same idea.. it's still original they won't be the exact same. right??

I really hope your feeling LOTS better!!!
Dis friends are the BEST EVER!

Thanks Mo. I agree - I love my Dis friends!

GRRRRR...

Hubby and I just had a discussion on what we are going to do if either Free Dining or some sort of great late Fall discounts aren't offered! Not happy about ANY of the suggestions we were able to come up with!

While, $2000 savings with FD is nothing to sneeze at... at this point I will take ANY THING! LOL... So I am right there with you waiting for fall discounts!


Nini

I agree with you completely.

This made me laugh...I do that all the time!

It stinks when it takes longer than you want to recuperate. If your body is telling you to rest then definitely do it. I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks!

Sorry you are having such a hard time recuperating. You do need to listen to your body. Trying to push it too hard will just result in a longer setback. Go back to bed and let Josh and the girls take care of dinner tonight. Hopefully, you will feel better tomorrow

Thanks T

D~ Hope you get to feeling better soon!

LOL Nope - I did not take any pictures... I did think about it though.

That was my thought too.

Thanks Sandra!

Aw D I am sorry you aren't feel good. It is probably the anesthesia which probably needs to work its way out. I know I had a lot of uncomfortableness for 2 weeks while the stupid gas they use in your incisions worked its way out.

Yes - for sure... I am sure that has part to do with it.

This is your body telling you need to rest in order to heal..
Sleep it all off!!!
I hope you feel better SOON!

Thanks Mo!

**********************************************************

I think I am feeling better this morning... Definately don't have the tunnel type dizzy feeling - yet. I managed to sleep the entire day away yesterday, I am praying that it really helped me... I don't mind taking a day off here and there, I just hate trying to catch back up. I don't like feeling like I am behind.

I will be going up to my sewing room this morning and working all morning. I hope to get my next bag mostly quilted today.

This afternoon, I have a Dr. appt with a podiatrist for my plantar fascitis... Really getting sick of Drs.

I also have to pick Alli up after school.

Our oven is scheduled to be repaired tomorrow - and I cannot wait! I am so sick of trying to feed the family off the stove top/crock pot/deep fryer.

I hope you all have a wonderful day today. Thank you for all of your prayers and concern... I hope that today is much more normal for me.

D~

 

[dianemom2]

I agree that you are tired because it is your body is still healing. Give yourself some time and rest when you need to. My husband had some issues with the anesthesia for about a week after his surgery. I guess each of us reacts differently.

 

[Chicago Mo]

YAY! She's up! Don't move too much and take it SLOW.. otherwise you'll be dizzy again...

 

[babynala]

LOVE your Duffy bag. You captured Mickey so perfectly.

Don't worry about everyone thinking you are copying the idea for the bag. There are only a handful of people here who see the launches, and even fewer of them who don't read this...so everyone will know it is a D original. We all know how much thought and hard work you put into your bags....why else do you think I want a 3rd one??? If it is the perfect applique to make the bag come together, then go for it!

I agree and I really hope you don't have to delay your trip because I'm not sure I can wait another year to see your bag.


D~ I am so glad your surgery went well and can't believe you were able to list your auction. It sounds like your body needed to rest so I'm glad you were able to sleep. Good to hear that you are feeling better today but make sure you take it easy.

 

[Mrs. Bradbury]

D~!

I meant to tell you yesterday - after my surgery last October, it took f-o-r-e-v-e-r for me to get over the anesthesia. Literally weeks. I was beginning to think I had brain damage. Just felt drained and like I was moving in a fog and could not string more than 2 thoughts together. I am happy to say, it did finally go away. And if that's the price of having such an easy time with everything else related to the surgery, I am glad to pay it.

I also wondered if your dates for your trip are set in stone, because if not, Magical Vacations Travel does a Labor Day special that is unbelievable! Grace Ellen and I stayed at the Grand Floridian over the long Labor Day weekend and while you can look at it as saving on the room or saving on tickets, assuming gate price for her ticket (I have an annual pass), we paid ~$130/night for a very nice room with a water view near Narcoosee's. They had a few choices of hotels (one of the Epcot resorts, and something else I can't remember, and the Grand) to choose from.

 

[LadyBeBop]

I have an appointment at 8am this morning... But, yet again, I failed to enter in the place - so I have no idea where I am supposed to be. Hopefully it's nowhere important. I will call the Dr's office promptly at 8 though, just to make sure that the appointment isn't for there.

So where was the appointment?

Around here, we get a phone call, on the day before, from our doctors and dentists reminding us of our appointments.

 

[solana131]

Glad you were feeling a little better this morning...hope you still are going strong!

I made some ADRs...getting the new computer today, so look for an update soon!

 

[sewmess]

May all your Drs appointments go so well you won't have to see them anymore.

And...I've got my manager's hat on here...at least look on the silver lining - all of this is happening well in advance of your trip and you're not going through this while missing magic.

Hope the sewing went well.

 

[BabyRapunzel]

I am behind again. I didn't realize I missed so much. Sorry you are not feeling like yourself. I do not take anything ever, but Tylenol, so meds hit me hard if I have to take them. Recovering from my csection was the worst. I hope the anesthesia wears off soon and you start feeling better.

And I know you don't want to get behind, but you need to rest right now. When you feel better, you may just be extra productive to make up for it. But if you don't rest now you may feel yucky for a longer time. Zzzzzzzz....sending rest and pixie dust.

 

[DMGeurts]

I agree that you are tired because it is your body is still healing. Give yourself some time and rest when you need to. My husband had some issues with the anesthesia for about a week after his surgery. I guess each of us reacts differently.

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one... I am starting to feel better little by little.

YAY! She's up! Don't move too much and take it SLOW.. otherwise you'll be dizzy again...

I am trying.

LOVE your Duffy bag. You captured Mickey so perfectly.

Thanks Liz... I do love how that bag turned out.

I agree and I really hope you don't have to delay your trip because I'm not sure I can wait another year to see your bag.

Me too - Hopefully not... I am sick and tired of things coming up and me trying to figure everything out... I just want to go and have fun.

D~ I am so glad your surgery went well and can't believe you were able to list your auction. It sounds like your body needed to rest so I'm glad you were able to sleep. Good to hear that you are feeling better today but make sure you take it easy.

LOL Yah - if you look back at my posts for that day... They're a little funny. I am just glad that all I had to do was copy and paste, I am not sure I could have done much more.

D~!

And if that's the price of having such an easy time with everything else related to the surgery, I am glad to pay it.

Thanks for telling me this... This is exactly how I am feeling. It's quite crazy, I've been trying to work on my menu/grocery list all week, and I finally just gave up and sent my list to my bff... There is no way that I can concentrate at all to figure anything out... I just kind of zone out. It's so weird. Every day is getting better and better, but I just can't seem to concentrate or focus on anything.

I also wondered if your dates for your trip are set in stone, because if not, Magical Vacations Travel does a Labor Day special that is unbelievable!

They had a few choices of hotels (one of the Epcot resorts, and something else I can't remember, and the Grand) to choose from.

They are a bit set in stone... We are there as late as we can be there... I want the girls to have a few days to recover before they go back to school. That does sound like an amazing deal though....

So where was the appointment?

Around here, we get a phone call, on the day before, from our doctors and dentists reminding us of our appointments.

LOL I still have no idea where that appt was... No one ever called me. I called the Dr. and the dentist... So beyond that - I have no idea. I am sure that someone is quite annoyed with me right now.

Glad you were feeling a little better this morning...hope you still are going strong!

I made some ADRs...getting the new computer today, so look for an update soon!

Thanks Suzi! I can't wait to see what some of your ADRs are... I've been watching for an update - I hope I didn't miss it... I will go look again.

May all your Drs appointments go so well you won't have to see them anymore.

And...I've got my manager's hat on here...at least look on the silver lining - all of this is happening well in advance of your trip and you're not going through this while missing magic.

Hope the sewing went well.

Thanks Ruth! I ended up rescheduling my podiatrist appt yesterday... I wasn't feeling up to driving into town.

I sure hope this is resolved before our trip - it better be. LOL

I am behind again. I didn't realize I missed so much. Sorry you are not feeling like yourself. I do not take anything ever, but Tylenol, so meds hit me hard if I have to take them. Recovering from my csection was the worst. I hope the anesthesia wears off soon and you start feeling better.

Thanks! I am on day 3 of no meds at all - which is good - I think.

I hope I don't done fall too far behind in my sewing room.

**********************************************************

I managed to quilt my current bag yesterday, which I was very happy with. The last few pieces were really hard because I just wanted to sleep - but I managed to muddle through it.

I plan to work on the applique today... and depending on how it goes - I hope to start just a bit of assembly this afternoon.

I've been trying to work on my menu/grocery list all week, but I just haven't been able to concentrate on it... So, I made my menu and I made my grocery list off of it - but that's as far as I got. I finally handed it off to my bff, and she was able to find the best deals for me. We had some awesome coupons that expired yesterday, so she did some of my shopping yesterday, and she is doing a bit more today... Then she is coming down to deliver this afternoon. I am so lucky to have her! I am still going to have to shop on Friday - but it will be very minimal - and basic stuff, like milk, bread and eggs...

Today is the BIG DAY!!! I get my oven back, and I cannot wait! This has been one big frustration for me, and I will be happy to be able to cook a "normal meal" again.

I hope you all have an amazing day... And thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers.

D~

 

[disneychic2]

D~ so glad you are feeling a bit better each day. Some people have a particular sensitivity to anesthesia and looks as though you're one of them. I'm glad you're getting rest, but still able to get some sewing done.

Yay! For getting the oven fixed today!! I know that will make you feel better for sure. You've waited so long.

I agree that you are very fortunate to have a friend to do all that shopping for you and get those great coupon bargains for you. I'm sure she's happy to do it for you and I'm also sure you are equally giving to her when she needs it. I believe good friends are one of God's very best gifts to us!

Hope you have another great day in the sewing room...and in the kitchen!

Can you tell I was in a smiley mood today?:laundry:

ETA: What's the latest on RuthIE?

 

[babynala]

I think it is great that you have not been using any medications for 3 days. Sounds like you are on your way to feeling better but hope you still take it easy for a few more days.

Yeah for the oven getting fixed today and getting so far on your latest bag.

Just finished editing all of my brother's photopass pictures since we have to order the CD by tomorrow. I should have taken their memory card before we left Disney because they uploaded some pictures to Shutterfly but not all of them. Hopefully they didn't delete the picture I took of the women in Epcot wearing a little black dress and super high heels pushing a stroller. Not my preferred footwear for Disney touring but to each their own.

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

Yay! You get your oven back. I am sure this will be a relief.

Hope you feel 100% real soon.

 

[sewmess]

... Hopefully they didn't delete the picture I took of the women in Epcot wearing a little black dress and super high heels pushing a stroller. Not my preferred footwear for Disney touring but to each their own.

Hah! I work in a hands-on science center and sometimes I wonder what some women are thinking with their footwear choices. Four inch Heels on a field trip? Really?? I don't think I've ever seen anything that extreme at WDW.

I kinda have a BFF that does my grocery shopping. DH does the majority of the shopping in our house. But he's never remembered a coupon. EVER.

And D~.....The oven's back and you've only got one day more of the February Funk. You'll be back in fine shape in no time at all.
