Hi everyone! I havent been on for some time now for one reason is i havent had internet.
Over the past few months i have had alot of ups and downs.
Once again i lost my insurance so i havent been able to finish my physical therapy or go to my doc appt's ect. but its ok cuz now i do my own therapy and im sooo tired of doctors, if i dont ever see one again...GREAT!!! LOL!
Im still having some issues with my sisters death and her birthday is Monday but im dealing with it alot better now. At least i dont cry as much when i get reminded of her but it still hurts just the same. I just look at it as i will see her again ...just later down the road.
The arimedex hurts...my joints are so painful but im tryin to deal with that too.
Next week im going to Minnesota and spending a week with just me and my kids...its not often we are all together at one time anymore since we are all spread out and dont live in the same towns/states. Funny how there can be miles between us yet we remain close. I feel very blessed to have such good kids that love their mama :)
In mid February a big group of us are going on a road trip to Daytona for the Nascar race ...Woo Hoo...a full week of watching everyone getting drunk...LOL...its funny cuz i dont drink and im always the DD driver and drunk sitter. Guess im good at it...lol!
Then at the end of February after our trip im going back to work...WOO HOO! Wow, that even sounds weird writing it "going back to work" I never thought id say id be happy to do that!
I even talked to my boss and she said my job is still waiting for me after all this time so at least i dont have to go thru the hole job hunting thing.
Well i guess thats it...not much more going on here!
Hugs

    Wow, you've got lots happening
    Glad you have some fun stuff coming up before you head back to work. Losing the insurance sucks, but I know what you mean about being tired of docs.

    Will be thinking of you Monday, wishing you a poitive, happy memory day.

    Enjoy your time with your kids and have a fantastic time being the "drunk nanny"

    Good to hear from you
    Glad to hear it is a lack of internet thing rather than you were sick or something. All is good with me too. Limited access to internet for me too.

    So sorry to hear about your
    So sorry to hear about your struggles with insurance and the loss of your sister. I like that you are working on keeping a positive attitude. I too struggle with awful pain from that arimidex. Lets hope that the cold snap is gone when you get here to Minnesota...right now it is 2 below zero. Not so great for those painful bones. But hey the Mall of America is heated. I only live a couple of miles from there...you can always go and people watch. Enjoy every moment with your kids and congrats on having a date to return to work. Jayne

    HAPPY to hear you again
    HAPPY to hear you again sister! I agree, you can even look up videos on the internet on physical therapy nowadays.

    Sounds like you've got some busy plans. Enjoy your visit with your family and KUDOS for you that you're the designated driver, making sure everyone gets home safe ;)

    Big hugs,

    Sylvia

    Misty Jo -- my dear Friend --
    I am delighted to get this update.

    I am unhappy that you continue to fight pain, anger and frustration over your dear Sister/Cousin
    Stacey's unexpected death. Hoping the is some sort of closure coming soon so all of you, can
    heal in some way.

    Sorry to hear about your insurance lost -- this sucks, big time -- I know, I am in the same
    boat. I feel if you have a job, and/or insurance in these unstable economic times - you
    are a 'millionaire'. The good news, is that you will be going back to work, and hopefully
    you will be getting insurance along with job!

    Nascar in February -- as well as getting together with your family from various States -
    sounds like a dream come true! I am tickled pink, just thinking about your family
    reunion. Will you daughter, and your grand baby be there for all the fun, and festivities?

    Keep us posted on your life, fun, and finishing your physical therapy - at home.

    Strength, Courage and Hope.

    Vicki Sam
