Argh – I suck. I meant to come by & wish you well, but I've had so many damn doctor appointments between myself & my son I seem to have forgotten where I left my brain. Glad you're doing better, Lori. You've been in my thoughts.

Vickie, I'm glad you're here, too. :)

Devon, I'm glad one of us is busy! Go get 'em, sister.

Cathy, thanks for the Twitter note - haven't quite caught up with my correspondence yet.

Can I have a normal week too, Gabriella? Or maybe just look over your shoulder in envy? :)

My thoughts exactly, Joseph! What was she thinking? Besides, I was looking forward to passing out to get away from her constant chatter.

Oh Ashley, wouldn't it be fun, even just a little fun, to have enough of a past to give them something to talk about? :)

Thanks for the notes and the love, Anne. :)

Oh Wendy, I hope he's doing better soon! You need a break, hon.

Katharine, that sounds awful! Praying those trial meds work well for you.

Great find, Paula! See what happens when you walk away from the desk? LOL

Hi Kim! Thanks for the thoughts, toots.

Chuck, I'm on top of something, thogh there are days I'm not sure whether it's something good or some other steaming pile...

Thus far, Hugh, it's been good. Even caught a Phillies game last night. The weather was gorgeous and the seats were six rows from the first base line. :)

Hi Lillie! Thanks for the love, darlin'. It's been a while! Good seeing you here.

Carole, that's good advice. But honestly, I felt (and still feel) relatively painless. I'm the biggest baby on the planet - if it hurts, I want it to stop. I'd never be accused of putting up with pain to be a trooper! LOL More like "Is she addicted to something because she's medicating for a hangnail...."

I hope your recovery is easy. RE pain meds, my Dad (a doc) and my Mother (an RN) both advised taking the meds. At the moment, you might feel fine, but you may have pain later. Dad always advised that there was no need to be in pain and be a trouper.

Lori,

So glad your surgery went well and hope you are fully recovered and back to full strength soon. But take a little extra time for yourself even if you're feeling better!

Welcome back, Lori — & in the midst of all you're dealing with, thanks so much for taking the time to let us all know how things are going with you. Hope your recovery continues as smoothly as it sounds like it's been progressing thus far!

Lori, Welcome back from the scourages of Morphine-ville. You sound like you're on top of it all and haven't missed a lick.

Take it easy, Lori – glad to hear you are recovering well! 🙂

Glad to have you back, Lori.

I'm told I've done odd things when heavily medicated. When I had neck surgery as a toddler, apparently I was sitting "bolt upright" as they wheeled me to the recovery room.

When a friend woke up after having her wisdom teeth out she was singing one of the songs that had played while she was under.

Are you sitting down, Lori? I didn't work at all Saturday, and only did a tiny bit of work on Sunday. My sister and I spent Saturday at a flea market. I wanted to find an old glass lampshade for a floor lamp - they're easy to find at flea markets and antique malls, but can be $20 and up. I wanted something decent, but cheap, since my dog tends to knock the lamp over at least once a year. Got a great painted shade (tropical sunset motif) in colors that are perfect for the room....for $3. Seriously, I thought they'd left a zero off the price tag since it would have easily fetched $30 at another booth.

My weekend was in a similar theme to yours: medical! I am participating in a study on a new type of insulin, but they had to put me on a very old insulin for a week. I am miserable and dealing with ridiculous swings in my blood sugar. Damn, no wonder being type 1 diabetic used to be thought of as so bad! I didn't realize how lucky I was that there were better insulins by the time I was diagnosed.

Anyway, I'll be back on the trial insulin come next Monday -- or this Friday, if I can make it happen. After the way I felt all weekend, I think I would move heaven and earth to get off this stuff!
