Good morning, DDA! I tried to post earlier, but the page never loaded. Let's see if I can remember everything

Sorry you have to wait, Tammi!

Glad you're back, Marci!

Hi everyone. Sorry i've been mia. i've been trying to take it easier and it's not easy to type one handed. i had shoulder surgery two weeks ago today. i started having problems last year and tried pt but it didn't help. i booked the surgery back in january and talked about it then briefly. i'm glad i went ahead and did it. he found a large bone spur with a hook in it, and that was what was causing the pain and lots of scar tissue. the doc went in bore done the spur, shaved some bone and cleaned it all out to make more room. i stayed overnight in a local private hospital where they took excellent care of me. i've been working from home since good friday, but much slower than i usually do. i went in last week to the dermatologist and he had to take something out of my left calf that required two sutures. i get those out next week. so, i haven't been able to take a bath and it's been hard to shower, but trashbags have been my friend, and now my bandages are off of my shoudler, except for steri-strips.

the surgeon said the incisions look good and the x-ray (my sis is the x-ray tech for this group of ortho's) showed that i should have plenty of room for movement. the hardest part comes now with pt. i need to make myself use my shoulder, but it hurts so much that it's hard. he's told me pt will be h e l l, but that if i don't do it and quickly i'll get more scar tissue.

so, i ask for prayers (and enough pain meds) to work through the pt. and that they can fit me in sooner. right now, they're saying i have to wait a week. it's beginning to get depressing, though i know i'm lucky that they think they've fixed my problem. patience is not my strong point.

i'm glad it seems that we are a healthier group now. sending pd to all those who still need some extra tlc.

For the Pt and extra for great pain meds

Jim is thick headed imbecile He went around last night again demanding respect from Cassidy and railing on her because she didn't jump when he demanded she get off the computer, without any notice or time to wrap up what she was doing.

I stayed out of it while the were duking it out (words not bodily) but it is very hard for this fixer/make things better to do. But afterward I did talk to Jim about his idiocy (because as I've said before "damned if I do, damned if I don't....so I might as well be damned and do it"). He just doesn't get it and I got myself so worked up that I couldn't fall asleep until almost 2 AM. So I am running a bit behind this morning and it's all his fault.

3 days down and only 1 more to go The first two hours were pleasant today, then the families woke up and decided that swimming was the thing to do When I left the pools at 2 PM there had to be close to 300 people which is capacity, and I left it in the hands of 4 teenage girls and this is their first real job I find the entire thing beyond stupid. I have however decided that poor planning on their part does not make an emergency on my part. I am doing much better at removing myself from the situation which is very hard for me, so I guess I'm learning.

I'm not sure if the kids will have lacrosse tonight or not. If there is any rain at all it is cancelled and the sun has now disappeared and it feels like rain. We'll have to see what happens in the next couple of hours. It would be wonderful to have a night at home though

Marci-hope the PT goes well! I had shoulder surgery so I know how painful it can be.

Tammi-hope things go well tomorrow!

Lindsay-nice to see you

Theresa-



and to everyone else.

I'm thinking about getting a towncar for transfer from MCO to AKL. Last year I took the same flight (arrives in MCO at 12:45) but on a Sunday not a Saturday and I waited an hour for a ME bus as we didn't get on the first one that came-the lines were too long.

I'm thinking Saturday might be even busier.

Anyone have anyone they like?

I've used FL Tours and they were OK.

Marci nice to hear from you, sending your way for a good recovery.

Marci, I hope you are able to regain some mobility in your shoulder soon, and that the PT helps!

Bernadette - We used Murray Hill for our very first trip and they were good. Haven't used a town car since.

I am scheduled to meet with the neuropsych on May 4 for an intake meeting, then DS will go for testing May 11. It will be interesting to see what he can uncover. Then again, everything may come back inconclusive. In which case I will sincerely hope he has another suggestion!

[babytrees]

this has been the day from you know where.

I was out of the house for more than 4 hours for the job fair.....I spent maybe 20 minutes of it actually in the job fair...it stunk!! I then had to wait for a bus transfer for over 20 minutes....with a gentleman who didn't get the hint with my headphones and game out.

At least I've gotten my exercise in

Hi! I hope you are all doing well.

This week has been wacky thus far. Tomorrow I have two chamber events and a camp meeting. This camp meeting is a last minute meeting, as they are going camping next weekend and are not prepared. I am not happy with them to say the least.

I need to get my butt back on the band wagon. I have said this more then once and am still not back in gear. I need to go buy jeans, as I need them for somethings and what I own do not fit. I have been looking and trying a bunch on but still have not found something semi-satisfactory. I think I am just gonna go and get whatever and not care, as I need them.

I need to eat healthy and exercise. I would like to lose about 60 pounds. I also need to exercise as back at the Princess Expo I got the crazy idea to sign up for the ING Distance Run. Well it was in my head before I got there, but the extra discount and the guy working the table convinced me to sign up. So it finally appeared on my credit card and now it seems real. It is a half marathon in Philly in September. Let's just say I need to train for it, there is no way I can do it without training. I still think I am crazy that I signed up for it. Hopefully I get the motivation to train and follow through with it.

I am being a lazy bum right now. I have relay crap I should be working on. Plus I should be cleaning. But I am sitting on my butt being lazy.

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I posted. I hope you all remember me

Easter was so fun at my dad's. He enjoyed having kids around, and I got to see some of the improvements he's made on the house since mom died. It all looks nice, and he loves it!

We brought his Yorkie home with us to dog sit while he went to my brother's in Syracuse, NY. It was a fun few days with a doggie, but I do remember, now, why I don't want another dog at this time. He got me up 3 times each night to go outside. With that, and Timothy, I haven't had much sleep for a while.

Now, the kids are back in school, and we are trying to get back into a routine. It's not easy! I'll be glad when summer is here! On the up side, Timothy has fallen into a nice nap routine lately. He's napping for 2 hours in the morning, and 2 more in the afternoon, and 1 in the early evening. It's nice to see a schedule emerging.

I read through all the pages I missed, and am sending hugs and pixie dust for all of you. Sounds like some of you really need some magic right about now.

Bernadette - I've used Tiffany with success both times (May 2001 and October 2008) and I know Kristine uses someone specific (that I forget who) that she raves about too..

We had FABULOUS service from Bob at Ray Transportation. I hope that works since the DIS blocks his company name.

the post I made is the same company Kristine uses. We have used Tiffany many times over the years with no problem, but I have read some horror stories about them recently. I hope they are fluke-y and not the norm for them now. They are not owned by the same people who had them before.
