CATCHING UP…

Good morning Buddies! I have so much to catch up on with everyone here. I have missed you all!! Haven’t read any blogs all week!!  I hope everyone is doing great! I have been sick since Tues or Wed…..I can’t remember which day it was. I have had a major resp bug that my daughter Izabella shared with me. Nice of her, hugh? She had been sick the week before, and missed almost an entire week of school. I really figured it was more like the flu with her. I limped along at work, and just fell out when I got home at night. I spent all day yesterday in bed-which is really strange! I think I feel better today…..havent been awake long. Anyways…..enough on that!! HOW ARE ALL OF YOU??!! :)

As if things couldn’t be more complicated in my work world…you wont believe what else happened! The nurse at my work-who also happens to be my friend-informed me that he could no longer do his job….tired of the driving, tired of patients, etc. and so he left Monday morning with no notice!!!!!!!!! Some friend, right?  Just a quick background-I work & manage a respiratory company. We set patients up on oxygen, cpaps/bipaps, and nebulizers. The nurses job involves lots of driving, going in to peoples homes, and setting them up with equipment. Anywaysssss……now I have to find a new nurse to do the job-fun, fun! In the meantime, since I am a nurse I will be able to do the job. LIKE I HAVE TIME!!!!!!!!!!! Oh such is life, I guess. The help wanted ad went out in the local paper today, so I hope to have lots of resumes tomorrow!

On a very positive note-I had blogged about my brother a few weeks ago, and the cancer scare he had. Well, he did have testicular cancer-which they removed, and so far no evidence that it had spread!! He had a Cat Scan this past week, and it looks normal. We are now waiting on a blood test that measures tumor markers. At this point it looks like he caught it early-thank GOD!!!! This is key with testicular cancer, because it is a fast growing cancer.  There is no family history of test. cancer in our family.

On the diet front for me……had a maintain this week, which I knew would happen. I am hopeful that I am back to 100% by tomorrow and get back with the program. Prob wont be a ball of fire just yet…

Much love to my Wildcat team! Thanks for all the love this week….you guys are the best! Buddyslim is a pretty wonderful place!!!! :)

Have a great Sunday everyone!!! :)
