DDA Chapter 27

[ReAnSt]

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know I have not dropped off the earth. I still have trouble getting out of bed every day but once I get up, that determines how the rest of the day will go.
It sucks but I am learning to just deal with it and take it a day at a time.

I do have an appointment at Johns Hopkins on May 16. A whole bunch of appointments all in one day. Hopefully they will be able to give me more answers.

And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I had noticed a spongy lump on my left shoulder so I went to the Dr and he ordered a CT scan. The lump is not anything to be concerned about but they noticed a spot on the right side of my lung about the size of a BB. I have to go back in 6 months to get another CT scan. At this point, we can only wait till September and see what the scan looks like. I have to be happy that I had the problem and they caught it early. The Dr thinks it will be okay but he also said that they might have to keep an eye on it for the next two years.

The good news is Stephanie and I are eagerly planning our trip in September. We fly out to Seattle and spend the day there. What we did tho was book a one day cruise on the Sapphire Princess so we will be picked up at the airport and taken to a hotel and the next morning taken to the ship and sail from Seattle to Vancouver. We will then spend the day in Vancouver and then on Sept 20 board the Disney Wonder for a five day cruise to LA and then spend two days in Disneyland. I have not seen Disneyland since 1968 so I think it has changed a little???

I cannot wait for this trip. We are traveling with two other Disney lovers so this will be so much fun.

Much love to everyone and lots of

I hope your appointment goes well and that the spot turns out to be nothing.

You and Stephanie are doing the pseudo reverse trip of what I am doing. We are flying to LA, doing Disneyland, visiting relatives, then getting on the Wonder which stops in San Francisco, Victoria and goes to Vancouver, we are then taking the train to Seattle and flying home from Seattle.

I had a followup ultrasound on Friday. I worked at two events yesterday, it was also Girl Scouts 99th Birthday. Today my brother visited I did a bit of cleaning should have done much more. Did some online swimsuit shopping and tried to order shoes but the site wasn't cooperating. I should have done some cleaning but it didn't happen.

I hope you are all doing well.

We wanted to see Seattle and Vancouver and when this one day cruise came up, we thought that was such a cool way to get up the coast. I am sure that getting over the boarder is not really hard, but I kept reading some reports of delays so this worked out much better. Plus we could see a different cruise line ship. Plus it was cheaper than booking our own hotel, meals, transportation that we could not pass it up.

Terry - your trip sounds wonderful! I hope the spot ends up being nothing. I had a spot show up on my lung in a chest xray I had done a few years ago. Ended up going in for a CT scan and it was determined to be scar tissue. They will monitor it to make sure its not growing and end up being something else. I hope yours is as simple.

Bernadette - Maybe we'll bump into you again ;

Terry,
Your trip sounds like alot of fun. Looking forward to hearing about your time at DL! Hope that your next CT scan results are nothing to worry about .

 

[bethbuchall]

Does that mean she got into every school that she applied to? Congratulations Laura!!

Beth - congrats to Laura! Outstanding!

Beth-Congrats to Laura!

Beth-Congratulations to Laura!

Thanks, everyone! Deb, she did get into every place she applied. She told me that is because she didn't apply to any of the really selective schools, but I'm still proud of her.

 

[bethbuchall]

Deb, I hope that you didn't get the cold.

Terry, I am sorry that you still have the vertigo. I can't even imagine that. I hope that the spot turns out to be nothing. Your trip sounds like a lot of fun!

Debbie, I am sure that the wedding will be wonderful. I hope that your father understood.

They finally came back to start work on the second bathroom today! I am hoping that it will go faster than the first.

Morning, all. I'm here begging for your good thoughts, pixie dust, positive vibes, prayers, etc., for Katie. She is presenting her documentary this morning, sometime between 9 and noon. We are leaving home in about an hour to get there. She's a nervous wreck! Not because of her documentary, but because she has to stand in front of the judges and answer questions and defend her work. Any positive energy sent her way would be appreciated!

We'll be at the university all day, and hopefully, by the time we leave, we'll know if she is going on to State.

Talk to y'all later!

What a week already. Hunter and Colby were both home from school yesterday, Hunter with a sore throat and cold and Colby because he was up all night and we thought he was coming down with something, but extra sleep yesterday and he is fine now. Nick went to school yesterday, but the nurse called and had me pick him up around noon. Both Hunter and Nick are home today. I woke up with a horrible backache this morning. Guessing that it's body aches from whatever this virus is. Really hoping that I avoid it as much as possible as I got a call this morning for a Job interview on Friday The company is actually hiring for 6 positions so I've got my fingers crossed that something will work out.

Glynis - Best of luck to Katie today!!! I'm sure she'll do wonderfully.

Terry - I wish things would calm down for you. Continued prayers and that you find some answers and help for the vertigo. Your trip plans sound amazing!!

Deb - Hope everyone is on the mend quickly.

Beth - Good luck on the second bath. Congrats to Laura on all of the acceptances up to the end! Sounds like she's made a great choice.

 

[Glynis]

Thanks for all the good wishes!!! They worked!!! Katie placed second in her division which means that she qualifies to go on to the State competition. She now has just over a month to re-work her documentary, and get it ready for State. It was amazing to watch her self-esteem grow and grow today, as complete strangers complimented her on her work.

I was a little angry that her so-called "friends" couldn't be bothered to show up to support her, even though they were at the competition. Mama bear is coming out a little bit, and I'd like to smack a couple of them upside the head!

Anyway, it's a happy day at our house today!

Congratulations to Katie!!!! That is quite an accomplishment, and I am thrilled for her!

I am sorry about the "friends" though. As long as I live, I will never understand the way that young teen girls can treat each other at times.

Thanks, Tia! They think that they will finish this one up more quickly than the last. (I sure hope so, though I am very happy with the end result.)

 

[bethbuchall]

Deb, best wishes for the job interview on Friday! I hope this one is a perfect match on both sides!
