Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
We're snowed in ....got 10 or more inches yesterday and last night. We were supposed to go and see Corey yesterday but due to the winter weather advisory we stayed home. We're going tomorrow instead after my sister and I go for genetics counseling/testing. Since our mom died of ovarian cancer and Judi has breast cancer there's a strong chance that we have the cancer gene in us. I also had a scare when I went to the doctor recently, she found a palpable nodule in my breast, I had a MRI done and an ultrasound and thank God, everything came out ok. I have to go for a followup in a couple of weeks, but right now I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I didn't say anything about it because I guess I was in a state of denial. Corey's not doing too good. Very depressed drawing very "dark" pictures of death etc. Stress, who has stress. The stress is affecting my vision again like it did a few years ago.
think they call it central serrous cordopathy. Last time it affected both my eyes and lasted 3 months or so, this time so far it's just my right eye. Very annoying to say the least since it very difficult to focus on things....any suggestions John?

No snow here and I hope it stays that way till we get Chelsea to Fla.
Wendy, Andy tried the scotch at Christmas dinner, I think you may have created a monster.
Taylor turns 16 today, time does seem to be flying.

Happy 100th Birthday Peter Pan!
Just watched a programme about the 100th birthday and for some reason made me think of everybody - whether it was Tinkerbell or Johnny Depp I am not sure! Now as we are in 2005 I am firming up vacation plans. Wea re going to be in WDW from June 30th - July 16th and most of the time in a 2 bedroom timeshare so we would be delighted to have visitors!!! Then July 16th - July 23rd Disneyland and the 23rd - 30th DCL on the Mexican riveria.
Wishing everybody a very happy and healthy 2005

Happy New Year everyone! I did not get messages about the past few postings and so I didn't realize things were not going well for you again, Shelley. I will ask John about your vision problem, but unfortunately he is not home right now. It's about 74 degrees here and he's off playing golf! It just doesn't seem like January but better this than the other extreme.
Denise: Happy Birthday to Taylor......can't believe he's 16 already. When does Chelsea head down to WDW?
We're thinking about planning our 2005 vacation. As soon as I finish here, I plan to check the DVc site and see what the deal is with doing the Alaska cruise using points. It will only be the 2 of us, so i think we should be able to swing it. Our friends from NJ were interested in coming along with us and they were supposed to visit over the holidays so we could plan it but everyone up there got sick and they never made it. I think I'm just going to plan for ourselves and if they can make it, then great. I'm afraid if i wait too long it won't happen.
Wendy: your invitation is tempting......if we don't do Alaska, we just may find ourselves planning another WDW vacation.
Have a great 2005, everyone!

Shelley, or anyone else,
A friend of mine told me abouta song that she heard on a Christian radio station, KLove, that she wanted me to hear. I have heard the end but not the whole thing. Something like "Can you hear me" "He is not just anyone, he is my son". I don't know who sings it either.
Anyone know?
I also have not been getting notifications even though have checked to recieve them.

Thanks Denise for asking.
Corey's had a set-back this weekend. He got extremely agitated at being reprimanded by a counselor for squirting cleaner in another kid's eyes and not being allowed to go to an afternoon swimming activity that he threw a chair at his bedroom window and then proceeded to punch out the window with his fist and then jump out the window and take off. After they caught him they took him to the ER where he got 7 stitches. He's like a volcano waiting to errupt....you just never know when it's going to happen. So they have him under close observation now.
STRESS....who has stress!!! And do we wonder why I'm having a recurrence of central serrous retinopathy???? This time it's only in my right eye but they want to do a MRI of my brain to make sure that's all that's going on. STRESS induced...supposedly nothing I can do about it...it'll go away on it's own. I hope so.
Glad Chelsea got the job she wanted. We won't be going to WDW until July 2006. Tight $ for this year so we're taking it easy.
Happy New Year to All!

Happy New Year all.
Shelley - sorry about the set back. Our prayers are with you.
Denise - great news about Chelsea. I'm trying to convince Judy to go in the summer, so maybe we'll see her. However, things got tight for us to. Medco screwed me up before Christmas. First they told me I was extended, then the COO had a revelation the night before Christmas Eve and decided he wanted to cut the budget, so all extensions were rescinded. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I stopped looking when I was originally told about the extension.
In Canetti news, Elana's high school is doing Into The Woods this year and she got cast as the understudy to Cinderella. They do a Satuday matinee performance for the second cast, so she is very excited. Sara auditioned for and made the Towson Vocal Jazz group (think Manhattan Transfer). So, we're going to have a busy semester going frmo one performance to another. Btw, Sara performed this past December with SHirley Jones and Robert Goulet along with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. That was pretty cool.

Shelley...
John here. I noted that you have central serous choroidopathy/retinopathy. This is most commonly seen in men and infrequently in women. The more often it shows up, the more central vision can be compromised. Some retina guys laser, I prefer not to do that since it will not alter the recurrence rate. Try Acular drops: 1 drop in the affected eye every three hours. Around the clock for the first four or five days! This non-steroidal anti-unflammatory medication will help dry up the serous cavity before you lose any vision. Even though the disease is self limiting (6-8 weeks), it leaves a central scars that enlarges with every attack. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much John.
My eye guy told me similar things except he never mentioned the eye drops. I've also just been diagnosed as Diabetic!!! Ain't that just great....I've lost 25 pounds with Weight Watchers (Jay's lost 21), feel great no more back problems and whammo.....diabetes. Going to an endocrinologist on 1/25. Have MRI scheduled for 1/24 to make sure there's nothing else going on causing the vision problems. Some of it may be because of the diabetes. Really have to watch carbs even more now, not that I have a lot with the WW program to begin with.
Jeanne,
I've had problems with this new format too. Doesn't notify you of any responses and there's no place to PM anyone that I can see. How's the sale of the house coming along? Need to pick your brain for fun things to do or see in the Burlington (upper NC) area in August. We had thought of going to Hilton Head but decided to save $$ and just do things around that area before my niece's wedding on 08/20.

The good news is you have started to lose the weight and that will have a positive effect on the blood sugar and the amount/kind of medicine you'll need. You be amazed how good you'll feel with the blood sugar under control.
Sandy, sorry to hear about the work situtation, but I know you'll find something, you are too talented to be idle long. Congrats to the girls, I'll have to keep an eye out for Towson Vocal Jazz Group. Sounds like a good date night for Andy and I
Leaving Saturday morning for the marathon drive to Orlando.

Hey Shelley and others,
I too was diagnosed with diabetes out of the blue about 18 months ago now I guess. Didnt even have symptoms, or so I thought, until I got my blood sugar under control. Have lots more energy now and vision has improved. Go Tuesday to have my three month A1C. Last time it was 5.1, don't feel like it will be that good this time though after the holidays. We'll see.
I recieved the Mark Schultz CDs and WOW - they are great! They might get as much play as my david bailey CDs but I'll never tell david that. They are now on my MP3 player along with david's CD for my trip to see david and take the MRIs for review by Keith Black, M.D.
Nicholas has been in school now two weeks with the Concerta, and it is just not working as well as the Ritalin did. It has helped with energy more than Ritalin did but not with short term memory. We worked all week on when to use "an" versus "a" and underlining adjectives in a sentence. He failed the test miserably. It was like it was something he had never seen or heard before. If we go back to Ritalin, we will add an afternoon dose which will fix the problem of As in the morning and Fs in the afternoon. Clear cut sign he needs an afternoon dose but the doctor wanted to try Concerta first. We'll get it worked out eventually.
Hope everything is going great for everyone else. I too am only recieving notifications here and there.
