Hi everyone. Don't die of shock, but I'm back!!!!!
First of all, I apologize for not letting anyone know about leaving. My dad was called out of the country for work, and he asked me to look after my mom. She has diabetes, heart problems, etc., and dad is nervous about leaving her alone. So, I only had time to pack up the twins, make quick arrangements for the older 2 kids to get to school and back, and hit the road. I love being with my mom, but they don't have Internet at the house, and that is just a bummer! I was able to log on once at the local university, but didn't have enough time to catch up on the DDA. I tried to get Alan to post what was going on, but he felt funny about doing it, so he didn't. I'm sorry to have caused so much trouble. You'll all be happy to know that the Queen, and Tammi have already given me my talking to, so I've been properly disciplined.
Now that I'm home, I'm trying to catch up. I'm still back on page 925, so it will be a while. Looks like we've gained some new members! Welcome to everyone! Welcome home Amy, Kevin, Alyssa and Matthew! I'm so glad that you had a great time! It's awfully good to see Denise posting again! It's feeling more and more like old times in here! Kate's new designs are amazing as usual, and I see a whole new summer wardrobe for my kids appearing.
My BIL had the gastric bypass surgery and things did not go well for him. Unfortunately, he neglected to tell his surgeon that he has some medical condition where he reacts badly to anesthesia. Consequently, he wouldn't wake up.....for 4 days....!!!! I guess it was so bad, they opened him up again to see if there was some problem with the procedure. The only person who knew about the condition is his ex, and she didn't even know he was having surgery. Once they got him awake, he developed pneumonia because he wasn't able to do his breathing exercises for those 4 days. So, his recovery is not going as well as he'd like. Poor guy! However, if you don't tell your doctor about things like this, you kind of deserve what you get! I'm just grateful that I didn't have any of those kind of complications.
Well, back to catching up! Talk to you later!
And really, the Cubs, too ... even if they did win 
) going over interview questions. You know, strenghts, weaknesses, scenarios, nursing theorists (grr!)..... Kyle said he'd hire me! But he also just said "because your cute", so I think he was lying
