KIDNEY STONE UPDATE

Well we just got back from Tucson today (8/12/08) from the re-check from my left kidney surgery. I'm good to go. But remembering I still have the stents in both sides. What he would like to do is, for me to go in sometime in September (hopefully the middle of) and go up and crush and suck all the kidney stones that are all ready accumulating on my right side (yep, I already had that side done before my left side and they are growing again) and then take out the stents. He said that would be done as an outpatient (YEAHHH), they will lightly put me to sleep do it and at and at it I will be, HAR HAR......We'll see!!! So that is the update for now.

We are waiting on the inspection papers for our house in Florida, the inspector is really slow and we have to have it before Friday(8/15/08) because that is when our 10 days are up and we don't want to lose the earnest money we put down. So my hubby is on the loose and not making people very happy right now. The inspector has had over a week now and we still don't have the report. I'm trying to think "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" but I am beginning to wonder. So tomorrow something will happen, I just don't know what. Keep your fingers crossed.

You all keep making beautiful stuff, as I get the time I go and look at it all and you all still amaze me with your creativity.

Hugs, Ellen

ANNOUCEMENT

Well today is August 1st, 2008. My home health aid nurse came and guess what...........after she scrapped me off the ceiling, she took off my scab and the hole is closed. So that means I can take a SHOWERRRRRRRRR all by myself. YEAHHHHH.......Still can't go swimming in our pool until after I see the surgeon on August 11th. I'm thinking about calling down there and telling him since August 15th is my birthday that he should give me that days office visit for free, do you think he'll agree? LOL So after August 11th, hopefully he is going to take out the stents that I have in both sides now and turn me lose..............Watch out world.

But what have I been doing in the mean time..........resting of course, butttttttt, been doing my exercising like I am suppose to do, and in the beginnning and shoot even right now I am sore and get tired pretty quick but it is getting easier everyday. Well here is the big butttttttt. My hubby and I am decided to move back to where we love it the most and that is FLORIDA. So my exercising in the last couple of days have been going through stuff and packing, keep or putting it in a box for a garage sale. We plan on being down there in 90 days (after 8/11/08 Doctors visit). We are currently looking at a couple of houses. The ARIZONA heat, which I know everyone tells me that it is a dry heat is so bad. Today (well right now it is 114 degrees) it is so hot. Yes it is like walking into an oven, but you can't get out. We use to live in the Hollywood, Florida area and we loved it there, but traveling, it just takes to long to get out of the state of Florida, so we agree to go on the other coast (West) and go 1/2 down, where it doesn't get to cold but yet it is warm. So we have decided on the St. Petes/Seminole/Tampa area. We really prefer Seminole, but you know how things go. I know, you are probably thinking but it is so humid there. But after living on the beach, you always have a breeze from the beach and with the humidity, yes you sweat but the breeze cools you right off. So we are excited but yet busy.

It just seemed I got my scrapbook room all organized and now I have to pack it all up. :( But we will be much happier there and I know it.

Well that is all I have for now. You all take care and I am back on here everyday checking to see what you all are creating and it looks like you all are doing a GREAT job, keep it up.
