Are You Getting Tired Of My Long Updates ?

Ok, here goes !!  What a busy week !!  Remember neighbor, Cathy ?!?!?  Okay, well I am still helping she and Jason.  I spent all day with them, where my surgeon is, 90 miles round trip, on Tuesday.  She is still having 'female' problems.  The urologist wanted to do a peek and see into her bladder.  I will save you the long story and cut to the details, we left at 10:00 and got home at 8:00 on Tuesday.  All is good.  Nothing found !!  :)   On Wednesday, spent the day in St. Louis, left at 8:00 and got home at 5:30.  Roy had an appointment with the surgeon who did his head and neck surgery.  No lumps and no bumps !!  Can you say happy ?!?!?!?  He doesn't seem him for two years !!  Had 2 1/2 hours between appointments, we ran to my favorite store, Catherine's, real close to Washington University.  They had all of there 'new' end of the summer clothes, markdown and then another 40% off !!  I got a cute shirt, jacket and pair of paints !!  It is going to Florida with me !!  Thursday, I had an appointment and running around like C R A Z Y for my mom.  Buying her Christmas cards, paper, eye drops, stamps and stuff like that.  Also, breakfast bars for me and a few snacks.  She hasn't been to the grocery store since I left in August.  All of her meals are provided for her.  But, she likes to eat breakfast in her room.  I know all of the stuff that I bought for her before I left is gone and I know she doesn't go down to eat.  I do send her a box of food a month.  So, in other words, I can't wait to get down there to access this whole situation !!!!!! 

Back to Thursday, I saw my psychiatrist.  Remember, I am bipolar and was having some mania problems.  All is good and I am fine.  Just taking my mood stabilizer.  :)  But, I did say..... that he had gotten the high speed internet, and I was really... really spending tooo much time on FB.  We talked about it.  He asked how much?!?!?  I will just say... that is what a lot !!!!  So, you won't see me much on FB anymore, at least for a trial.  I really genuinely care about people and I have this 'thing' that I have to check FB to see what is happening.  We all do it right ?!?!?!?  I even check when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom !!!  So, enough is enough !!  I am going to spend more time blogging !!  :)    I am not leaving FB, but not checking in so much or frequently.   Also, on our plan with high speed internet plan, that he currently have, I am only allowed 5 gig's of allowance a month.  That is a lot.  But, I did go over my first month !!  Too much online time !!  I have a friend who also has this and I told her, she said she never comes close, asked me how many games and movies that I downloaded and I didn't do any of that !! 

Oh, I know I am jumping around.  But, remember my Mom doesn't know anything about my breast reduction surgery !!!  What do you think she is going to say ?!?!?!?!!  Any ideas ?!?!?!  I see her this Tuesday at 3:00.  I went from a 40FF to a 40B !!!!  Okay, let's play a game and let's see who guess's what she might say ?!?!

I had a friend suggest to me to call Mary Kay to see what I could do with all this product that I have.  I did and I can return it for 90% of my money !!  I got the form today, so when I get home, I just have to take inventory, sign the paper that I am giving up my Mary Kay thing and returning my inventory.  I am so happy !!  I just have to talk to my director.  I will cross that bridge when I get home.

Ok, I have something else I want an opinion on.  I hope this works !!  When I was in Florida, I bought this wig.   Above.  See my wonderful SIL, Jane.  She met me at the airport when I got back just to take a picture of me in my new wig that I got. 

Since I have been home, I have gotten this one, above.  See, flat chest ?!?!?!  LOL  Ok, my mom doesn't know that I have this one.  She will probably hate it, that is just the way she is.  She hated the one above it.  But, anyway, I am going to take tons of pictures and I don't want to freak people out, 'if' I put them on FB, (why should I care?!?!), so, which wig should I wear ?!?!?!  (See, the least I tell my mom, the better !!  I have learned this since the last few months.)

and... least but, not last.... yesterday was the weigh in for the VIRTUAL BIGGEST LOSER COMPETITION !!  My friend, blogging buddy, and FB friend. Lauren, is hosting the contest !!  There is a monetary prize for the virtual biggest loser at the end.  I am suppose to weigh in each Friday and say if I loss/gain/or stayed the same.  But, next Friday I am in Florida and my mom doesn't have a scale.  So, I will weigh in in two weeks.  

So, to recap, you probably won't see me on FB as 'frequently' or as much.  This is really going to be H A R D !!!  I really am like a druggie with an addiction.  What do you think my mom is going to say about my breast reduction ?!?!  What wig do you think I should wear, the one my mom knows that I have, or my new one ?!?  (Remember, I am just asking because of pictures on FB) 

Thanks for your opinions on this post !!  :)  I will do a post while I am in Florida.  Oh, my mom doesn't know that I blog !!  LOLOL

My neighbor, Cathy, can no longer get in her truck.  The step of it has rusted off and she has short legs.  She called me today to see if I would take her to the place here locally to apply for assistance with her gas bill, so I did.  Then she asked me to go with her tomorrow to take her to a doctor appointment here locally.  She has kidney stones.   So, she has an appointment tomorrow with the urologist. 

I made an appointment for me tomorrow for a facial.  Fun ?!?!  Yes, you are right.  I wish I had someone to go with tomorrow.  But to have a couple of hours to myself, all to myself, that will be so nice.  It is a 'fall' facial.  This time with the facial and decollete, I am also getting my hands and feet done !!  Won't that be nice.  It is one of the October specials at my salon !! 

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are really falling off of the trees.  The days are getting chilly.  The heat runs in the morning and the air runs in the afternoon.  This is typical for the Midwest !!  :)

The Funeral

The visitation will be Thursday night (tomorrow night) from 5 - 8 pm.  The family viewing is from 4 - 5 pm.  Then on Friday the funeral is 10:00 am.  Immediate following at the graveside, there will be military honors.   Then Saturday afternoon and evening, we have a wedding to go to.  Roy's cousins daughter/son, I don't know which, *sigh*, too much has been going on, is getting married.  I do have the card and check. 

I have been so busy with the family, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Flowers order, meat trays and food ordered for meal afterward.  Cathy has everything she needs for her clothes.  Her pants are hemmed.  She has her hair appointment to get her hair cut and styled. 

My other next door neighbor and myself are going to help set up for the family meal and clean up afterwards.  It is suppose to be a beautiful day, cool crisp, clear sky.  Will be a nice day for a funeral and a wedding.... all in the same day.  

He Died

We left my house today at 12:00.  Cathy wanted to leave at 12:30, but I thought we should leave at noon.  Well, we got there at 12:40.  He died at 12:50.  Had we left at 12:30, we wouldn't of been there in time.

What an experience this has been for me.  I have never watched a person take their last breathe.  Today, I did.  He didn't gasp, or anything,  he just stopped breathing.   The preliminary arrangements are for the visitation to be Friday and the funeral on Saturday morning.  We live just across from the church.  I will be there for both.  What a sad, sad day.  You know my dad died almost two years ago.  It was very, very sudden.  He wasn't sick or anything, he had a massive heartache on the golf course.  No warning or anything.  No machines or anything.  No cancer or anything.  He didn't suffer like Cathy's dad.  Thank goodness !!

 

From Cathy's Son, Jason ~ More About Death and Dying

I just received this note from Jason, Cathy's son, on facebook.

Jus writting to say thank you for the trips to ****. Mom & I both really appreciate it and ya being with us. I know it can be a lenghty trip, long days and add up alot of milage & we'd be glad to chip in for gas, lunch or whatever else we can help with. If you or Roy ever need help with anything here at home let me know, I'll be glad to come give a hand. Im extra grateful especially for the rides to the Halloween Shops...its hard to find good quality stuff in ***** so again thanks a million.

I thought it was very nice !  He is 26 years old.  Doesn't drive because he is afraid to parallel  park.  I avoid parallel parking at all cost!!  He has his STD (sexually transmitted disease) report in his pictures on face book.  He also has Jesus as part of his name on face book.  Today, at the Halloween store, he bought red contact's for his eyes.  He said, that she gave him to bottles of them.  She didn't.  He stole them !!!!!

I just hope that Mr. Zahner goes quickly.  He just laid there and was non responsive.  When we arrived today, his temperature was 97.9 and when we left, it was 99.9.  His checks were bright red.  His lungs are starting to rattle and slowly starting to fill with fluid.  Cathy's brother was very appreciative that I did his laundry and that I brought Cathy and Jason down again today.  Tomorrow, I have an appointment with my surgeon, so, I would be going down anyway. 

This is COMPLETELY off subject !!  But, if you want to see before and after pictures of my breast reduction surgery, I have pictures !!  :)  I still have wholes under each boob, but they are starting to heal.  Leave me your email address, if I don't have it, and let me know if you want to see.  You have been with me through this adventure.  If you don't want to see, you will NOT offend me !!  :)
