well i had great news today, my son made 3rd class petty officer, was so proud of him, and very happy hes happy!!! worked a 7 and a half day yesterday with 59 kids so today, i,m all about relaxing LOL we had off teachers/ parent confrences, so it was a nice long weekend for me
How beautiful Blondie, I loved that.
Nita, I hope you feel better soon.
I think I am going to lay down and take a nap this morning. I am a little tired but all I can think of is things I need to get done too. Maybe just an hour would be good.
Mia has a talent show tomorrow we are going to at her school. Her and a friend are singing a Talylor Swift song, You belong With Me. they sound so cute together too. Going to have fun weekend hopefully too. Santa arrives at a local mall,so we will be doing that too and going out for either dinner or lunch for my Birthday on Sunday. Hubby says he knows what he is getting me for my birthday, so I will let you know too. I am very curious and scared too. LOL.
Yep a nap it is. Talk to you all later.
Thanks for the well wishes.. Yeah the pain, dampness and cold makes things harder. I am going to try thy the massage therapy. the PA I saw the other day recommended physical therapy.. but I had pt when I had my car accident and after awhile it only made things worse instead of better. and when I fell off the uneven bars in bootcamp on the obstacle course. I went to flip myself over the one bar and my hands slipped. I landed on my back and knocked the wind out of me.. then when It got cold.. my back started to hurt.. try carrying a rifle and my backpack on marches..That was thirty=one years ago I am going to check with someone who specializes in vteran's affairs.. find my DD214 so I can get checked out at the VA Since I didn't finish bootcamp.. I prbably won't get anywhere. but I got hurt on the obstacle course.. that should count for something. I do want to tell you this.. when I went to the Pysch evaluation due to depression.. The evaluater thanked me for my service.. I thought that was sweet. I told her I didn't do much..just worked in the dental clinic one wekend a month til I left for boot camp.. She said yes.. but you served... everyone take care.
NEWS FLASH.... SSDI denied me... why am I not surprised? but now with the constant chest wall pain anytime I lift my pinky... or do alot of simple things.. maybe I will get somewhere. I am getting a lawyer for the appeal.. This chest pain interfers with my life more than my hearing does at time. So yeah.. my life is impacted.... and to have to conatantly take motrin for pain.. that's crazy especially since I have to take prevacid for the gastric reflux when I do take the pain killer... anyone have any medicinal weed.. just kidding.... well just thought I'd update you about what was going on.. And we did take care of some of tyhe wood.. Tyler had to have me in the truck as A licenced driver.. otherwise If I could have driven standard I would have.. as it is.. I haven't driven since my accident 3 yrs ago. Well maybe I will get some sewing done until my chest hurts. AAnd it bugs me know when I try and crocchet. as well as I use my chest muscles when I use my arms from lifting them,, But I ama NAvy Mom and we trudge on thru it all... Love you all.
Hi girls.. sorry I have been absent. With Bob's diabetes and my constant chest discomfort..I am not sure what I am doing sometimes. I was in the ER the other nite from 9:30 pm on friday to almost 4 am on Sat. I was having chest pains and dicomfort in my shoulders and upper back. After being on the monitor and having an iv for pain . I finally got to go home around 5am. I had 2 EKG.. the first one said I had an acute heart attack.. but then the secind one showed Nothing.. I must have moved ddddddddduring the first one or something. Oh yeah.. all the tests came back normal too. They diagnosed it as tietz syndrome which is also known as Costicondritis- chest wall pain. But I have had this for years...caused by over exertion.. They gave me a prescription for 800mg of ibophopen like that's really going to help as they only gave me 30.. I really think there is something else going on like fibromalagia.. when I went for my followup.. they took more blood work to test for lyme disease and other crap. right now my chest hurts.... mostly on the left side.. I di exert the muscles last nite as I did laundry and mopped the floor. the stuff isn't going to get done by itself, its not like I have a cleaning genie.. also we got a notice from the county about the wood that is strewn around the yard from when we did the shed.. we have until bext monday to clean it up or else they will do it and charge Us 250.00 plus legal fees.. Ty want to take it over to a friends house and put it down the back of their yard. I am not thrilled about that either. I don't know. What I do know is that there is alot of wood there plus tree branches. Well gotta go get dressed and make myself ambitious...Just wanted to say hi. still aiting to hear about my health insurance and SSDi. Meanwhile I will just put one foot in front of the other and keep going. talk later Nita
Blondie a trickey tray event is where they raffle off prizes all night long, mostly baskets made up, with different themes, business donate certifcates, you can win those too, big prices like bikes, the list is endless, some win lotto tickets too, usually when schools do them or church organizations they get donations , from lots of people and they they have a dinner or something and you buy tickets to win prices all night,
Oh how nice Lillian. The officials coming out to salute him. I am sure that makes you proud.
Lillian, I am sure he will appreciate any party anyone has for him.
OH I agree with the money pit thing. I often wonder how we went without them too sometimes. I know we got them they were new. I should be able to get new one for as much as you pay for the contract and all. Our phones were free but still it is the idea. Like I said granted it was my fault the first time but the 2nd time, no it was not. I sure hope you do have good time. That is great that they were willing to do it. I love going to those things. We have a pumpkin fest in our town at the end of September and it was a lot of fun. I got a wreath that has red,white and blue on it. I have it on my door. I love 31 too. I love their bags. the jewlery,not so much because I have what I wear and those are what the boys have bought me. So I don't really wear too much of that. I like looking at it but that is it. Mia loves it though.
Lillian, good to hear from you and congrat's on the homecoming. I am sure you are anxious to see him. Don't know of any welcome home parties though. Sorry. Hope all is well with you.
Boy, Blondie, I wish I lived closer. I would come to your fair at the church. I love that kind of stuff. Yes I am almost done with this semester. My finals are on the 13th and 14th of December. So looking forward to it. We actually start our final for lab in Radiology the Monday after Thanksgiving. I am so ready for a break. I have all of next week off, thank goodness.
Carol, I hope you feel better too. Yes we haven't been on here much either. Everyone is so busy with everything.
Nita I hope you are doing well too.
I have to get another cell phone. Mine started out last week on Monday that when I called someone had a ton of static and they couldn't hear me. Well I should say I did drop the first one but the second one is their fault. Needless to say I didn't tell them I dropped it either, I know bad but it wouldn't be under warranty if I told them that. So on Friday I finally go another phone, preconditioned one they sent me. Mine is under warranty, so it was free. So it was all fine over the weekend. I actually didn't use it much. Hubby called me yesterday on his way to work to Maryland and we were talking a couple of minutes and then he couldn't hear me at all again. No static, just couldn't hear me. So I stopped yesterday and am getting another preconditioned one sometime today. If this doesn't work I will have to pay 150 for another new phone. We aren't up for new ones until Jan 2013. We just got these ones in May. This is ridiculous. I am hoping I don't have this problem again with another one. Then I said to the girl, what if it does it again. This is what she said, well the chances that will happen again is very slim. Ya we will see. If it happens again, I am going up to her and throwing it at her and say oh my chances are slim huh. She kinda irratated me when she said that. I told her I have 2 boys over seas and if they can't get a hold of me on my cell I am going to be really upset. So ya the first one is my fault but the second wasn't and it needs fixed. I just wish they could send me a brand new one and then I wouldn't have to worry.
