OH YAY!!! i just KNOW you're gonna have plenty of time in the land!!! so happy!!!

Hey there! Hopefully your sister's surgery goes well.

It's sunny here, which is a nice change.

I'm hanging in there. I don't think there's going to be much doubt now that I'm headed for a second surgery of some kind. I had my 6 week MRI today. I don't know what it did/didn't show, won't know that for a few days. If nothing shows up on there, then there's a good chance I'll be losing my adrenal glands. One of my tests, ACTH, which is the hormone that tells the adrenals to make cortisol, came back at pre-surgery levels. I had the draw done on Friday and got the results back today. I'm waiting to hear from my endo, but that's not a very encouraging sign... So I've been crying a lot about that today. Not much I can do but pick myself up, dust myself off, get off my hydrocortisone ASAP and start testing again.

big hug, honu!!!

Hi Everyone! What's up?

I've been AWOL for a while - been busy with family stuff. My sister is supposed to have her surgery this week (well, it was supposed to be last week, but the hospital majorly messed up). If you're the praying type, would you pray that it goes well?

big hug, MM!

 

[honugirl]

I'm so sorry.....

Hugs and prayers for you.

big hug, honu!!!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. Time to dig into my reserve tanks of energy and get moving.

Oh Honu - I am so sorry. I will step up the prayers for you. You know, you absolutely amaze me. Your strength, courage and positivity are so inspiring to me. I don't think I could go through everything you've gone through with your positive outlook. Hugs to you.

I'm sooooooooo lazy today. Got to get outside and do some yardwork. I put myself on a semi-permanent ban from watching the news. Sigh.

Have a great day today everyone!!

Hi, everyone!
I haven't been on here in a long time, so I thought I would come see what everyone is up to. Been busy with school. I'm working on a lesson plan about coral reefs. I might put a Finding Nemo spin on it . It has to be geared toward a specific grade level, but we present it to our classmates as if they were that grade. Fun!

 

[wonderlanne]

anyhoo.....i'm thinkin' this thread will get a little busier starting...oh, i dunno...maybe today?

i wanna say something, in case a nice person is able to read this:

"friends" who are not able to treat a person with compassion when they are going through tough times are not friends at all.

 

[Christopher Robin]

Wow, that was sudden.

 

[SwedishMeatball]

Honu, I am sorry that you are facing this obstacle. I know you had such high hopes, and you've maintained such a wonderful and positive attitude. Hang in there, and lean on us for strength.

I totally agree.

 

[DisneyMomOK]

I am so sorry, Honu, about the possible second surgery. You are such brave girl; I wish I could send the real McDreamy to visit you?

MM, hope everything works out for your sis.

wonder, i do not understand a lack of compassion, either.

 

[ravencotygrandma]

Honu--I will be praying for you. I know how hard this has been. You are a very strong person and I do admire how much you have endured. I know things will get better for you. You deserve it. Continuing good thoughts for you.
No news for my husband-the drs still don't know why he isn't getting better. They don't think the cancer has returned but its a wait and see situation. Will keep going back for his MRI until they can decide what is going on.

Love and Prayers
Sandy

I'm sorry to hear that honu. I haven't been on this board for a while, and I've been wondering how you've been. I'll certainly keep you in my prayers, and just want you to know that I think about you often.

i'm glad they think the cancer has not returned. here's hoping it stays that way and that when they discover what is ailing your hubby, it will be easily and comfortably rectified.

 

[wonderlanne]

so i've been putzing around in the garage today, under the guise of tidying up. well, i actually DID finally accomplish something in the way of slight tidiness, and was able to get to the box which holds my several-year-old alice in wonderland bench. i guess i purchased this about four years ago from disney.com, and i never put it together.

am working on it now. yay!

 

[Tink & Goofy]

Wow, honu, that stinks. You're doing well, though, and even though you cry you still manage to get through it with your head up.
Guess that means you won't be cleaning my windows then, eh?
And I still haven't managed to get over to Sonic yet. I think I'm going Sunday after church.

Wonder, you gonna be posting pics of that bench? I want to see!
Did you get anything from hancocks? Not for sure that we'll be hitting DL; I hope so.

I went to the thrift store today to see if they have fabric; sometimes they do. And guess what? They were having a 50% off sale! So I got some fabric, enough to make three outfits for convention for around $5 total. Yay me!
I'm going Thursday to get the patterns and elastic.

wow...good find!!!! didn't purchase anything at hancock's...what i NEED is drapery and upholstery fabric (i make the drapes and have the oh so wonderful ramirez's upholstery company do the other stuff), but as usual, i still have purchased not a thing. i'm slackin'.

 

[wonderlanne]

the sides are now attacked to the back. the seat is next.

(this is not the hokey pokey; i am putting together a bench)

 

[onelilspark]

to Honu & Sandy. I'll be thinking of you!



On a side note: I'm traveling for work and the idiots next to me are playing with the connecting door. There's a deadbolt on it, but considering I'm by myself, it scared the youknowwhat outta me. If they start up again I'm gonna have to be the grouchy old lady who calls the front desk

I would have run over and given the door some rapid poundings and hoped they wet themselves.
