GOOD MORNING, FREINDS
Brrr, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.
EVERYONE, STAY WARM & ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!
-Y -
Finally warmed back up some here in Florida. Those kids that came down last week to spend time on the beach better have brought long pants and jackets. This morning it is fog we have to deal with but at least the temps are reasonable.
Got a call from my Cardio office yesterday. The Holter I wore two weeks ago for 24 hours did not work. Nothing registered. I have to do it over again next Tuesday/Wednesday. Today is my appointment with the endocronologist(sp). He is supposed to find out why my Thyroid readings are out of whack. Hopefully he will discover why I get lightheaded at the breakfast table and sometimes later. Next month it will be the Urologist's turn to poke and prod me and do more testing. Sometimes I feel like a punching bag or a pin coushion. I guess at 79 I should count my blessings and hope that all these Doctors can keep me going okay.
Okay, lets get the New Year going with some more people posting!

Patsy, Best of luck to Toniann. That goes for whatever school she ends up with. Thanks to those wishing me good luck on my tests. So far not so good. First my Doctor sent me to the Thyroid guy. He was quite concerned about my test results and is setting me up with a whole slew of tests on mt Thyroid. Meanwhile I got a call today from my Doctors nurse telling me that my stool sample test showed signs of blood. Now I have to go to a Gastroenterologist (sp) . Next month I have a PSA test and a Cysostcopy with my Urologist. It just does not end. I had hoped we could go on another cruise this spring but I guess that is out. I wish they would put me in the Hospital and do all the tests at once but it does not work that way. ](*,)Oh yeah, I almost forgot, next week I have to go to the Cardiology office and get the Holter back on beause it did not work the first time around. ](*,)

Good morning all.
The weather did a 360 and now it is unbelieveably good. Sunny, high yesterday 84 degrees. Similar predicted for today. Very un-January like for here but I will take it gladly. Had the Holter put on yesterday. Wearing it now. I hope it works this time. Have many medical appointments lined up with more to come. Will try to enjoy the days that I do not have appointments!Sorry that you Northerners are suffering with colds etc:. Get over them as quick as possible. Canadian Club usually helps LOL.
This will be a banner year for us. At least one Grandchild graduating from College in June. Another the following semester. It seems like yesterday they were peeing in their diapers!The two oldest Grandchildren will soon be 22(June)and that 22 years went like a bat out of hell. Okay, time to try and accomplish something. Try to put away all the Christmas decorations. They are mostly down but have to still box some and store them. :geek:
-
Hi All.....
Warren I finally got the last of the boxes away....the house looks bare now lol Good luck with the holter. My oldest will be 21 in March....time does fly by quickly!!
Patsy feeling better but then i try to get some housework done and I wind up feeling like crap! Must be allergic to it lol
Judy Hope you feel better too....this crazy weather plus all the running around from the holidays wears us down.
Anna glad you didn't work the weekend....give you a chance to rest up.
-
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
WARREN.. GOOD LUCK WITH THE HOLTER.. I PRAY IT DOES
WORK FOR YOU THIS TIME!!!HI DEB!!! TALK TO YOU, SOON.

Good Morning All,
For some reason I had a memory erupt from the old neighborhood. I know you all had your favorite local bakery but ours was Levines on 5th Avenue just before 13th Street. Th aromas coming from that store were incredible. When my Mother took me there when I was small, the owner would go to the crumb bun tray and sccop up as many loose crumbs as she could and put them in a small bag for me. WHAT A TREAT! On Sundays we would stop there after Church and get a bag of fresh rolls for Sunday dinner. Some seeded, some what they called "Water Rolls". The large bag full (at least a dozen and 1/2) cost .75c. After dinner sometimes we would go to Whelan Drugs also on 5th avenue between 12th & 13th Street and get Strawberry Ice Cream Cones. Between Sunday School, Church and Sunday dinner, Sunday was sure a special day in our house. My Mother made plenty of food because she never knew how many of our friends we would invite to dinner. There was always a roast, Mashed potatos ,Gravy (My Mother made the best gravy in the world with ANY roast) and of course one or two vegetables. On the times we did not go for the Ice Cream at Whelans it was because my Mother had purchased a Messing Cake at the store. Remember the Messing cakes the Deli's used to sell by the slice? She would buy a half or the whole cake. Yes Sundays were sure special in our house.

Morning all!
I hope everyone is free of that terrible flu bug. It has hit the Midwest like a plague. Very sorry to say it has caused several fatalities this week, especially among teens. But for some reason the politicos will not close down the schools. I was planning on attending a high school wrestling tournament tomorrow (high school wrestling is still one of the most popular family events in this region) but decided against it for fear of getting sick.
Eat your chicken soup, drink your lemon tea, and stay well!
-
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.

Hello,
A good Sunday to you all. Just got back from Church. Despite the Flu epedemic we had a good size congregation today. I guess the word is out that we are having the best January (weather wise) in years. Been 80 every day for a week!Only left to put away is my second tree on the Lanai. Took all the ornaments & lights off it yesterday and stored them away. Only a 5 minute job and Christmas will be oficcially over at this house. Before you know it, we will be putting the Deco's back up. Time seems to move much faster when you get older.
One of my Cardiologists called Friday night. He was very concerned about the results of the Holter Test. I have to call first thing tomorrow to get a STAT appointment. Oh well. I see Doctors so often that it becomes matter of fact! :-00
