Di

Been missing everyone, just resting the brain and planning the trip with sons family to Disney in Oct.
Trying to heal...

Hi Butterfly,
Nice to see you here! How are things going for you? I'm sure you must be done with nursing school by now- so are you working fulltime as a nurse?

Better now... your right Mark - we had reached a solution..... then I didn't get my breakthru med refilled in time. I saw my PM yesterday, and we discussed what happened. The nurses put a note IN my chart, and didn't tell him that I stopped by the office....so when the ER doc called, that was the first he heard of it. anyways.... had a good visit w/ him yesterday. changed up some meds, so hopefully things will calm down.

anyways... I hope all of you that had surgery are feeling better.

Hi Di and Redjp:
For starters....Di, what happened to your daughter? If you don't feel comfortable sharing, I understand. I don't want to rehash pain....but please know that I am so, so, so unbelievably sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you.
Red...nice to see you again too. Yes, working full time as a nurse for a Catholic based hospital...big organization. I'm really happy as I am a resource/float nurse. So I go to the different clinics to work. And it's nice because working resource if I need a day off, I just say I can't work that day and it doesn't count against me. But I also have benefits for me and the kids, and it's come in handy, as they're in football...injuries, plus flu season, ear infections, you name it. And now I can get my botox treatment for my dystonia. It's spread to my pec muscles and hurts so much...but when I'm working at least I'm not thinking about it too much.
The kids are doing well. I've divorced, and the kids and I were in a bad way about this time last year...had to be on foodstamps, almost had my van repossessed, visited food pantries, took back pop cans for gas money to get to clinicals.......it really was a living nightmare. But we got through it, through the grace of God, and are now doing much better and are quite happy. Thanks for asking about us.
Please update me too on your lives....it's been so long.
Take good care,
Butterfly

Butterfly!!!
I thought you must have dropped off the face of the planet- great to hear from you again.
sorry about the divorce though, but glad to hear you and kids are doing Ok.

JoJo!!!
So GREAT to hear from you too.
I swear I didn't drop from the planet, per se...I just went to the moon for a while...
How have you been feeling? I've been reading the posts "bras" because that is something both myself and my mom are in the market for.....for her, her problem is hyatal (sp?) hernia....stomach is pressing against diaphragm, poor surgical candidate (they won't touch her with a ten foot pole), and well....a good bra is hard to find.
You are still landscaping it looks like from your sig.....beautiful!
Well I plan to keep in touch for as much as I can....I look forward to your update, yes?
Butterfly

Hi there stranger! I've often wondered about you and so glad to hear things are going well for you. So sorry for the past troubles, but glad it's in the past. Keep in touch with us if you can. phoebe (pbj - phoebejane)

Are ya'll drenched down there? Thinking of you. phoebe

Hi Phoebe,
Thanks for asking about us. Would you believe we got very little rain from the hurricane?! The weatherman said today that this was the fastest, on record, that a tropical depression turned into a hurricane. Yesterday at noon it looked like it was coming right at us but by last night it had taken a more easterly turn and while it went in not that far from us, we were on the "clean" side and got a little wind and sprinkles of rain. We lucked out this time.
