Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

I only have one thing to say:

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer......​

LET THE GAMES BEGIN​

Hey Carol, how are you doing? I haven't been around much to check on the walking wounded!

Doing pretty well. The doc gave me the OK to start walking, so I've been hitting the walking trail for approximately a mile to mile & 1/2 a day. Hopefully I'll get up to the full walking trail (8 miles RT) by the time I go back to work.

I'm needing to nap less and less, but I'm really trying to do "exactly" what the doc says. Don't want to wear myself out too soon, but don't want to have no stamina when I start back to work either.

You are one amazing woman, Carol! I'm so glad to hear you're recovering nicely. WAY TO GO!! <pumping fist in air>! Too bad about having to go back to work, though! It's a shame that we were born smart & beautiful instead of rich! Keep up the good work, girl!

I just got off the phone with Al. He's still in NC with the grandsons & enjoying every minute of it! His DD, Allison, is doing very well. Al said she was all dressed and ready to go when her husband got home from work. She announced to her DH when he walked in the door, "Let's go!" Jeremy asked, "Where?" Allison said, "Anywhere! I'm ready!" So...Al & his DW are babysitting (like they mind that!)!!

I spoke with the two older boys & when I asked them "what's new" - neither one said anything about their new brother - but I heard all about their new playstation game! How typical! I love kids!

If I could be anywhere I wanted to be right now, it would be in NC with the new baby & the rest of the family.

 

[ntsammy5]

We think that he was trying to steal our beer cooler.

I'm surprised he didn't try and lure you away from the cooler so the other otter could rush in and steal it!

I wish the rest of the family was here too!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Rhonda and/or Scott.

Carol, I am glad you are getting around now! I have to go back to work on Wednesday, can't pick up a thing, but have to go back to work! I made the BIG mistake of sleeping in the normal bed last night...2 percosets later I was numb enough to get out of bed and get through the day today. Needless to say, back on the couch I go...ARGH!

I hope you are getting your legs in shape for DL and DW!

Jen- I must have missed another "questionable" thread! DARN!!!

I take it that your surgery must not have been done with a laperoscope (or however you spell it). I'm sorry to hear that you're not fully back to your feisty self. Take it easy on yourself and let your body heal! Only rest will accomplish that! Is school back in session for you next week or are you preparing for opening day? Polk County kids start on 8/18. I'm sure there will be a ton of happy parents that day!!

On another note - my DH had his pain management procedure done Wednesday. Rather than surgically removing the adhesions in his back, they are trying to dissolve them chemically. Don't ask me what the drug or chemical is that does that. They knocked him out, inserted a tiny tube into the adhesion & emptied an IV bag full of drugs into him. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes including being knocked out & coming to.

Anyhow - we tramped all over the MK today, and he did not have any problems whatsoever, and no numbness in his leg. He has one more treatment on 8/20 & then he should be done.

He also went for a job interview on Thursday to work as a salesman for a local Funeral Home!! They seemed to be very interested and impressed with him. One thing for certain, the funeral business is one that the economy can't impact too much. If he accepts the job and if they truly want him, it would be a Monday - Friday basically 8-5 job. That means we can start going back to FtW once a month like we used to do. Lordy, I miss my monthly stays at The Fort! We haven't camped there since January. Ugh!!!

OH, you missed it alright. However, that is something I know you would have wanted to miss. Yuk! I am ok, except when I go to sleep or bend all the way down, that is the worst part. Back to the couch I go!
I hope DH gets the job! He has to have better luck than here lately! You need more Fort time anyway! We have three prep days (CJ starts PreK regular the same day as I go prep day) and start the same as your kiddies up there.

I didn't realize it either!! Ouch!!! I only had three tiny incisions in my belly, only 1 of them you can barely still see. That's probably why I'm doing so well.

We happen to own our own personal ECV, (it was my grandmother's and my parents gave it to us for Rick's bad knees providing we give it back if either of them need it), so I'll be taking it to DL to use as needed and we'll be sharing it at WDW.

Back from the lake, the highlight of our trip was seeing an otter running along the edge. We figure he was distracting us from the beer stash.

see if the chemical will eradicate the fuel tank to my love machine.

Welcome back Frank & Denise.

Thanks Amanda, did we miss anything important around here?

 

[Gatordad]

amanda turned 35, Scott had to get Ami drunk, and Jen kept looking at uncovered mammaries, and Donnie has a babe.
