Sister's surgery went well - she'll be in the hospital at least the rest of the week. I talked to Some People before and after the concert. Now I must recover. In other news, I ate a mint leaf. I was eating. And then cleaning up the kitchen. Glad concert went well. Glad surgery went well. Talking with Some People?? Svengo. You need some chocolate and a foot massage, Rocco, hop to!! I ate a lemon bar. maybe two. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Humph Day!!! This hormonal thing is making it very difficult to sleep. First i’m Cold. Pull the covers up. Then I’m hot, throw the covers off. Fall asleep. Wake up in a cramped ball because now cold. Pull covers back up. Have crazy dream. Too hot, throw covers off. Have to pee.😩😩😩 Anyhow, today we have School, piano lessons. There’s supposed to be some monster storm system coming through tonight and tomorrow. Temps are dropping from the high 80’s to the 60’s. Snow levels dropping to the 5,000 foot level. All I can say is, “I will believe it when I see it.” Last week we were supposed to get half an inch of rain and we barely got enough to settle the dust. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Good morning. Drinking massive amounts of magnesium (basically twice the RDA) is helping. Less pain and cramping. Better sleep.

Susan in TN Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Good morning! It's almost lunch time! Yikes! I had dd10 on the calendar to get a check-up at the eye doctor and realized that they never sent a reminder email like they did for all the other kids. So then I wondered if I had it down right. Tried to call the office but they didn't open until 8:00 and we had to leave before then to make it on time. So we left anyway and I called on the way and she had her appointment and her vision and eyes are A-OK. Then we went to Aldi. Got plenty wet from all the rain. Bought some camping foods along with regular groceries. Now tired. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Since JJM has gotten all bossy with the Es.Tro.Tone, may I suggest magnesium for the headache sufferers?

Renai Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Gymnast had her violin concert tonight. It was great; they played in different groups according to the songs they knew. So, her group was up front because they were the newbies (Pre-Twinkle), and others were lined up behind them. There were a variety of songs played, and if they knew the song, they stayed standing to play along with the piano accompaniment. Everyone else that weren't playing sat in their spot. So, Gymnast played all the Twinkles (of course), which were sprinkled throughout the program amongst all the harder songs. It was interesting. And it didn't give me a headache. I'll be going out for ice cream with her tomorrow, because dh was grumpy. Edited May 16, 2019 by Renai 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Good morning! I love how Suzuki classes incorporate all the levels together - it's so helpful for the younger players to see and hear the more advanced music being played and to feel an important part of the whole group. Ds14 has his last cello lesson of the semester this morning. Recital is on Saturday. There are a couple school lessons being finished up and I have 2 jobs this weekend and then I feel like summer can begin.

Critterfixer Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Good news. Nothing evil lurking in my chest. Bad news. Yes. The swellings are indeed lymph node enlargement, which is what we thought. However, because no other lymph nodes (at this time) are enlarged, we are sort of in a holding pattern. There's no obvious reason why my lymph nodes are swollen, but they aren't exactly huge, and no others are enlarged. So, conservative approach at this time. They are setting up a CT scan for six months from now to check everything again. I'm not on for any rechecks, but will be monitoring my lymph nodes and checking any others for swelling, keeping track of what my energy levels are like (not so hot right now), and monitoring my weight (so far I'm still fat and sassy and don't seem to be losing). Anything changes, I'll be in demanding a biopsy. And that's General Hospital for today. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
