Just a how are yall doing.

MsVickie · 10-11-2007, 07:34 PM

I missed so much being in the hopstial and cant really sit and go through all the post so I thought I would asked how things are.

Jerry? Are you any closer to a date or have had anything go on with your surgery since I last spoke with you? I know your getting so excited.

Kenya, did you get you housing done? If so are you happy with were you will be living? How about the police testing?

Kim? Did yall ever set a date after the first of the year to try to make a get together if so when and where?

Ashely? Hows things with your home life. I hope better.

Boots? how are things now you had that last ENG done. Are things better with you or are you experiencing the same thing. I never seen that you were so little until your last pictures your looking fine.

Becka i see yours girl. Your looking so good. And you got your hubby back now for a while......enjoy it !

Mattie, your looking great and doing so well.

Lady Hawk, I love your new pictures. You change so much each month. I know your happy. Has your side quit hurting or did they find out the cause of it?

Renee, I couldt help but notice your already back at work. Dang, i will be lucky if i make it back in 4 more weeks.

Me im good. Went to the Dr today. Still very Anemic. He said I was a hair from a transfusion but I made it without one, thank goodness. He wants me to rest the best I can. He said I went through alot and my lab work looked good except for the anemia. I had another drain pulled today. I started with 3. I brought home 2 and now have one. I suppose if it does better mabye next week I can get it out. Its just annoying is all.

I still dont know eveything that happened to me. I have decided I dont wanna know any more LOL. Each day I find out somthing new or hear my hubby tell somone on the phone somthing I didnt know. The only thing that annoys me is when people ask me when Im going back to work???? The way I see things not until im ready. I have a couple disablity insurance policys that are paying me the same salary I was making so im gonna let me self rest and heal. Yes listening to the Drs advice. I have lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks. I can tell it no where myself except my hands. My wedding band will have to be sized for sure. Yall take care...

genmel · 10-11-2007, 07:44 PM

Please rest and take care of yourself. We are all so happy that you are back. I agree with you, I don't think I would want to know everything that went on. I was a hair away from a transfusion myself and I didn't go through what all you did!! I am watching my iron levels as well. We can watch together. Great news about the weight loss. That is awesome. Don't worry, you will see the difference soon.

Kenyar · 10-11-2007, 07:57 PM

yes please rest and take care.
to answer your questions lets see: i am supposed to be signing my lease tomorrow afternoon

iam not sure if i am eligible for the police exam being i didnt live in the county 30 days prior to the test date but i wont tell if you dont; we will see what they say. I also didnt work on my physical agility with everything that has gone on...but if i dont pass theres always next year. they let you test every year until 35 so really i have 5 years to pass. LOL.
i believe the get together was discussed for the first weekend in april i believe. i havent heard of anything else since. i cant wait to meet everybody!!! whenever it is i will go regardless...

30 LBS already? That is a WOW in itself. rest up.

BOOTS · 10-11-2007, 08:14 PM

GIRL YOU REST AND DONT WORRY ABOUT WORK! YOU ARE RIGHT IN SAYING YOU WILL GO BACK WHEN YOU ARE READY! YOU WENT THRU ALOT, TAKE IT FROM AND TAKE YOUR TIME AT HOME!!!!

AS FOR ME I THINK YOU WERE AROUND IM NOT SURE BUT I ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN FROM THE LAST ENG. IT ENDED UP RIPPING ME OPEN. UGGGHHHH BOY WAS IT SOOOOOOOOOO PAINFUL. WORSE THAN THE SURGERY I THINK. THE THING THAT WAS SO PAINFUL WAS ALLLLLLLL THAT AIR INSIDE ME!!! UGHH. BUT TODAY I FEEL GREAT AND I THINK ITS ALL BEHIND ME NOW THANKS TO GOD!!! I EVEN GO TO THE GYM NOW.

I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING MS VICKIE, ITS SO SWEET OF YOU TO THINK AND REMEMBER EVERYONES PROBLEMS.

BY THE WAY I CANT BELIEVE YOU LOST 30lbs ALREADY THAT IS GREAT! YOU ARE LUCKY, WITH ALL YOUR BODY WENT THRU AND YOU STILL LOST WEIGHT. WHEN MY BODY WENT THRU THAT IT ENDED UP GOING INTO STARVATIONS MODE TO HEAL ITSELF. HUN YOUR OFF TO A GREAT START!!!!!!!

DocSanae · 10-12-2007, 02:38 AM

Take your time in getting your strength back up. ((((((HUGS))))))

kimtindall · 10-12-2007, 02:54 AM

Morning Vickie~~Yes, we are planning on the weekend of April 5th! There is a link somewhere around here that has the location that is suggested for meeting. I think it is the Crab Shack in Folley beach. Are you going to come with us??? I am extremely excited about this meeting! I am so glad that you are feeling better and say yes...stay home until you are ready to go back to you, you have been through A LOT!!!

MsVickie · 10-12-2007, 07:38 AM

Unless somthing major comes up I will be there Kim. If yall can let me know I will be there for sure. All I have to to is mark the work calander for a couple days off. I thinking about taking a long weekend if that is when yall are planning the meet.

All of yall are important to me. That is why I asked. Im sure i missed some questions I needed or wanted to ask of others so dont feel left out if i didnt mention your name. Let me in on you anyways.

Boots I remember seeing the tear part and wondered if they have gotten this fixed now or not? Maybe still a wait and see game. You remind me of my sis n law being so short. Its a good thing. I just didnt realize it until I seen your updated pics. I think your so cute.

Ladyhawk · 10-12-2007, 07:48 AM

WOW girl, 30 lbs in 3 weeks --- That is AWESOME!! You are off to a great start. I hope that each day just gets better and better for you. What a terrible ordeal you went through. Hopefully it is smooth sailing for you for the rest of your journey.

Thanks for asking about my pain in my side. They believe it was just really bad gas pains. I will forever have extreme sympathy for babies with gas pain for the rest of my life now...LOL.

It is great to have you posting again....

Jill · 10-12-2007, 07:57 AM

Vickie -- you are so right! You just rest and take as long as you need to recuperate and get back your strength and your full health. Everything else will wait -- your health is the most important thing right now. Of course, its great that you've lost 30 pounds!! You go girl. As for our Charleston get together, we are still looking at the weekend of April 4 - 6, 2008. I think Kim has picked our a resturant for us all to meet at.

MsVickie · 10-12-2007, 08:03 AM

Ok thank you Jill for letting me know those dates. How are things with you? Your one I forgot to mention but so glad you posted to this thread.
