But already, what a difference. Amazing.

Meeting with Sean has been pushed to seven-thirty, which I'm not thrilled about.

Had to hire a trash hauler because there are a LOT of boxes and crap I'm tossing. He should be here in about a half-hour.

WOW! Good for you!

For those following the progress of the bilingual WEST SIDE STORY, there's a really good Variety review of the tryout in D.C.

Thank you Fred!

I have to say right now most of my doctor's offices are very very good, teh ENT and his staff are great, our Primary and his staff are great, the chemo people are all very nice, they have made themselves immediately accessible everytime I needed emergency hydration (4 times so far)

THe Radiation Doctor, Dr. Ames and his staff, particularly his RN, Maureen are exceptionally nice. She is the one who looked so sad when we discovered I lost 2 more lbs that I felt badly for disappointing her.

It's just the surgeon's office - his PA, Anthony is very nice and helpful and I guess the doctor was OK but trying to get through the 2 women and the evil Chauncey to get to them....

Well, we will see what tomorrow will bring. Vixdad is taking the morning off and driving me there.

I cannot drive anymore as I am subject to sudden bouts of motion sickness - so I'm not a lot of fun as a passenger either.

I have the hiccups

vixmom · « **Reply #247 on:** January 08, 2009, 03:19:33 PM »

And I have managed 3 cans so far if we count the early morning one.

vixmom · « **Reply #248 on:** January 08, 2009, 03:20:03 PM »

I'll try for one more in the next few hours

I must go do an errand. Trash Hauler was supposed to be here, but he can start without me. I've written eight pages today.

Hi folks.

I am very, very, very tired tonight. I had to fight with the insurance company to let them know I am working on the house. Did I tell you they dropped me because of my porch and roof?

No dog story--so far. I can't handle any more of that.

And I worry about what they may or may not find while they are fixing the house.

Needless to say I am so stressed that it was not a big surprise by the time I got to the doctor today my BP was though the roof, I have a low grade fever and it's true, I do have diabetes.

The doctor told me we have had this conversation before about my stress levels and how i could stoke out if I don't keep myself calm. Easy to say. Hard to do.

I wouldn't miss them

Congrats with the last two cans. Have you done something different so they were easier to tolerate? Good luck with can #4.

Sorry I don't have better news.

The house is coming along. I am pleased with what I'm seeing done.

I'm just worried because they brought the guy to look at the septic tank today. I haven't heard their findings yet as to what kind of shape it is in. Somehow, I don't think it is good new or I would have heard something by now.

Cillaliz, have you considered the possibility that Juan the Drywaller might have been arrested and/or deported and that may be why he never showed up again?

That's what Edith said, lol. No, in part because I saw him driving the company truck about 2 or 3 weeks after he was last at my house. He's a legal permanent resident, so he would have had to have committed a crime to be arrested. I'm not sure what happened. I think the most likely answer is he just forgot that he left a couple of the things he left here. The supplies he said that I paid for so I may as well keep. After I get done with the basement and don't need the great saw horse/step stool anymore, I'll call him and see if he realized that he left it here.

DR Danise are you taking PB meds? I know it is difficult to go for walks with so much going on, however exercise has been proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure & help diabetes.

I thought he could have been arrested for dui or something -- not just immigration. Just thinking of some reason he wouldn't be able to come back.

I am so sorry, Danise. Does the Dr. think that your diabetes is treatable with diet and exercise?

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all better for you., You are such a good person, you deserve better luck than this.

Yes. I am taking BP meds but like the kidney stone meds (did I mention the KUB shows I have another one despite taking the meds that should prevent them?) it doesn't matter seen to matter. When I get mega stressed, nothing stops it. It shoots right up there.

So what you need is Deep Breathing and Relaxation exercises

or some really good pot

I wish I could wave it right back over you.

I could handle stuff if it happened at a reasonable pace but it just seems like I go for a month or two and nothing happens . Then (for whatever reason) all hell (pardon the language) breaks loose. It can't be ONE problem. It has to be several all at one time. It just leaves me feeling drained and tired.

I wonder how TCB and Ann and Jed and Toby are doing with their rising water problem?

Anybody on that side of the country hear anything in the news?
