   OMGoodness! Lovie and I are so loving our new sofa, we are like two big ole’ lounge cats when he gets home and gets what he has to do around here, we have dinner and get our baths and “GET ON THE SOFA”! We are still stayi...(well “I” stay up, Lovie naps off and on ~giggle) ng up late on our blogs, tweaking, adding, moving things, ect... With the short time that I strayed away from blogging things changed, OH MY things changed! ~giggle There are so many new things and ways to blog, share and design! I have been on a pink cloud with it all! LOVE IT!

I gotta stick what, where?

My Mood:

     Spring has SPRUNG! Lovie and I have been having as much fun as our sinuses and his allergies will let us! 

We started out with going to a Cajun Fest at Magnolia Mound Plantation. They had cajun music, cajun dance lessons, lot’s of hands on displays from the 1800’s. It was really neat.

   

We also went to LSU to see Mike the Tiger VI. He was in pacing mood, didn’t want to play. But he made sure everyone got a good look at him!

   

For St. Patrick's Day we went to The Wearing of The Green parade! We have never been...We had so much fun! It will be a yearly thing for us! Lot’s of laughs, beads and GREEN BEER!

We made our yearly visit to Oak Alley Plantation’s Spring Fest! Daddy and Momma went with us, we all enjoyed the food, the weather and the mint juleps! The weather couldn’t have been better, perfect in the shade and just a bit warm in the sun!

    

Nottoway Plantation (on our way home we stopped by, part of Lovie family history)

    Lot’s more festival’s and such going on down here in the bayou country and we plan on doing as many as possible! 

    I have been having lot’s of doctor appointments lately, I haven’t told any of my friends about all of it, but I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. I have to give myself two shots a day to help my insulin work properly. 

    My doctor took me off my cholesterol med because it will make your body ache. His goal is to have me off all my meds in a year! Tomorrow will be one week on the shot and off crestor (cholesterol med) I can tell a difference! 

    Now let’s talk about this SHOT MESS! Some of you know me and know that I can not handle shots! I can’t look at a needle with out going weak in the knees! I cry when they have to take blood! 

    When he told me “you can give yourself a shot twice a day right”...My mouth feel open and LOVIE spoke for me with “Yes she can” It was an OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE! I wasn’t hearing this, Lovie was not agreeing to this! OMGawd! WAIT! WHAT! NO! HOLD ON! I jerked me head toward Lovie and said “WHAT?!?!” He just giggled and rubbed my leg and told me “you can do this” HA yeah okay! 

    So off we go to the pharmacy get the “SHOT” filled and head home! Time rolls around for the “SHOT” HEREEeeeeee comes Lovie with the “SHOT” BAHAHAHA...He and I read the instruction (I’m being a big girl sooooo brave) I put the “NEEDLE” on turn the end like HE told me and UPCAP the “NEEDLE” OMGawd! I start feel wooooozy, here come the weak in the knees, the stomach just FA-LIPPED! AND here’s a lil tear...OMGawd I gotta give myself a “SHOT”! WHOAAAA! 

    Sucked it up STUCK myself and UGH LOVIE said “WAIT” you gotta turn it like this...”WAIT” “WHAT” You gotta be kidding me right?!?!? RE-DO? HOLY MACARONI! Okay...Keep calm, re-do I can do this! After the fifth time we got it RIGHT! I am a pin cushion thank you Lovie! <rolling eye’s> 

    Needless to say I take my shot twice a day with no problems, didn’t think I would EVER be able to do it! It’s a TINY lil needle! Gawd I’m suck a ninny!

Hope everyone is enjoying Spring! Have a wonderful night!

I’m just lumpy…

8:32 PM         75

My Mood:

    I had my Upper GI...I’m guilty of not reading the info they sent home with me! I didn’t know that I would have all the air after! OMG was I burping!  It frightened me so bad...I tried to cover my mouth and say excuse me! They grabbed my hand and was telling not to try to talk, I couldn’t talk the camera was still down my throat! ~*giggle*~ I NEVER heard myself burp like that! It was UN-HUAMN! WOW
    Lovie and I went by Cracker Barrel on the way home to have breakfast, it was so good! I had buttermilk pancakes with scrambled eggs and grits...YUMMY! After we got home Lovie tucked my into my nest and sleep most of the day.
    My doctor removed two polyps and found that I have a heitel hernia. He up my acid reflux meds for the hernia, it’s not bad so no surgery was needed, the meds will take care of it. I had to call today for the results of the biopsy...Thank goodness it was benign. Thank you God for answering my prayers as always!

      

    We went to my sister’s Sunday for a BBQ. It was so nice to just sit and visit with the family. My Pookie is growing so fast! And he is going to be a Big Brother in February! I’m so excited to be Great Auntie Jeauxdi again!

 

Have sweet, sweet magical dreams...

10:52 AM         75

My Mood:

    I went to have a consultation with a G.I. doctor yesterday, he pressed on my tummy and ochie wochie did that hurt! But that didn’t hurt as bad as him pressing on my chest! HOLY MOLY! The right side didn’t hurt...But the left side oh my goodness! My chest feels bruised today! Hurts to move and touch it!
    He told me that it may not be my acid reflux...It could be arthritis. I can’t exercise till we find out what is going on…UGHHHH What am I gonna do without my Wii Fit!?!?
    Anyhoo...I will have a Upper GI Endoscopy on Wednesday morning. I’m having a fun, testing kinda medical year! FUN, FUN, FUN! I hope I’m gettin all this old person stuff over with now so I can enjoy the rest of my forties! man-o-man...It’s gotta get better, right?
    I do have GOOD news! I’m gonna be a great Auntie again! My Pookie is gonna be a big brother! Not sure on the due date yet but looks like around January. HOW EXCITING! Congrats to my niece and nephew-in-law...I can’t wait for the 20th family member to arrive! XOXO
    I wanted to go down to the Audubon Zoo, but it’s gonna rain ALL weekend! So we are gonna have a lazy indoor, Rock Guitar, movie watchin, veggie burgers w/ chips weekend. It’s dark outside now, so I guess the rain is on the way...I am SURE a nap or two will fit in this weekend also! =0)

Got my claws out…Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

11:11 AM         82

My Mood:

    My doctor put me on fish oil along with meds for my cholesterol and triglycerides. It is making my nails GROWN like crazy! I normally keep them filed short, but there is no way I can keep up with them anymore! So I have claws now LOL They look nice and Lovie likes them =0)
    Lovie and I went to Wal Mart Monday, I wasn’t feeling very well when we got there. I was really raspy and out of breath while talking on the phone with my Momma.
    After I got off the phone I had to stop to catch my breath. I SEARCHED my bag for my inhaler and couldn’t find it anywhere! UGH
    We went on and I had to stop again. Lovie told me I kinda spaced out and started passing out, he caught me...Thank goodness he was with me! He had me sit down, the only place was on boxes of diapers! LOL I was sweating like crazy and felt as I needed to vomit, I felt like I was dying, I was scared. He took me to the front of the store to sit on a bench and got me some water. I started feeling better and finished our shopping as quickly as I could go...
    I went straight to my nest when we got home. All we could think was it was my acid reflux acting up. I took a nap and didn’t feel any better when I woke. I ate dinner, that didn’t help.
    I was up till 5AM hurting! Lovie gave me pepto then an alka seltzer, that helped me BURP! OH it felt GREAT! Only two lil burps, but it made a world of difference! I sleep most of the day!
    I’m feeling much better and FINALLY have an appointment for my consultation for a Upper GI on May 22! It’s hard to get those folks on the phone! WHEW!
    We’re going to Lovie’s grandparent’s tonight for dinner with them and Lovie Mom. Crawfish pie...YUMMY just PRAY it doesn’t put in pain again! Have a giggly day...

YAY ME! I’m okay!

12:26 AM         55

My Mood:

 

    Well...It’s a ALL CLEAR! YAY! My doctor did find some small blockages in the bottom of my heart, but he is putting me on medicine and will monitor them. He said they are small and nothing to bother with. Here are the pics of my heart...Don’t even ask me where the blockages are, I have now clue! hehe

I was trying to wake up so we could go home, but all I wanted to do was SLEEP!
One eye was open! ~*giggle*~

    The allowed me to keep my glasses on during the procedure. I tried to see the monitor they were watching but I couldn’t see it too good from where I was...Bummer!
     I was tickled when my doctor came in, all the nurses were sitting waiting on him I was dosing in and out, he came in and stopped...Looked at me and said “Is she ok?” They all said “yes she’s fine”. He came next to my head and asked if I was ok, I just smiled and said “oh yeah I’m fine!” I was felling nothing by this time! HAHA I did feel when he inserted the cath OUCH! Someone grabbed my leg and held it down. Opps...Sorry I moved.
   
     Thank you to everyone that called, E-Mailed, left comments on here, MySpace, Facebook and Twitter for me. You don’t know how much they meant to me. All of your thoughts and prayers worked! Y’all are the greatest! XOXO

 

Have a giggly day!

Handsome, dark skin, heart doctor say whaaaaaaa…

9:39 PM         70

My Mood:
 

    Well my heart doctor's visit went a lil different than I expected. My heart got a lil sluggish during the stress test. So...I will have a heart cath done Monday morning. I have to be there for 4:30 AM and the test will start at 6 AM. 
    I’m not nervous about all of it, I trust my doctor. I just don’t like being stuck and cut! UGHHHH...Makes me nauseated to think about it! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
    Lovie and I are going to have a restful weekend together to prepare for Monday. My doctor told us that is he need to do a balloon or a stint on me he will do it while I’m still in the testing room, but if I need we will go from there. But he is sure it will be the ok and he will prolly just put me on meds or just a lil balloon! YAY a balloon...I like balloons! Hope it’s PINK!

Have sweet dreams and a wonderful Friday!

Be still my heart…

7:54 PM         74

My Mood:

    So...Uhm yeah, I went to the doctor this morning to talk to him about my cholesterol. The lady at the window told I didn’t have an a appointment and they did not have my lab work back...Uhm, yeah ya do, I talked to the nurse and made this appointment on Monday. Sorry but we’ll have to work ya in she told me...Well POOH, Lovie was with me and had to go to work after my visit! But thank goodness it didn’t take long to get seen! 
   I was called back took a seat on the exam table, the nurse did her thing...BP and heart rate. My doctor came in and asked me if I ate a can of Crisco before I had my lab work!  Check these numbers out!

    When he told me how high my cholesterol and triglycerides were, I thought I was going to fall off the table! This runs in my family...But I get the BLUE RIBBON, TROPHY, GOLD MEDAL, AWARD of ACHEVEMENT for having the HIGHEST number! YAY ME! UGHhhhhhh!
    He set me up with my Daddy’s heart doctor to have a check and  stress test. I have chest pains that come and go. They last for about an hour at a time, feels like a ton of bricks sitting over my heart. I have had chest pains since I was in my teens. I have been to the ER a couple times with this and they do a EKG and tell me I am TOO YOUNG to have heart problems. So...Going to the heart doctor on April 2 to find out what is going on.
    I’m also going to the Sleep Foundation on March 30th for a consultation and to set up my sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea. I told Lovie if I do I am gonna just hook a hose to his C-Pap and we’ll share! ~*giggle*~
    Turning 40 everything changes and things go down hill...I was always told this, but DANG! I’m 41 and this is too much at one time. Maybe everything is coming now so I can get it over with and enjoy the rest of my 40’s! Oh that would be nice! I really don’t want to fall completely apart before my Lovie even makes it to 40! So...A favor, could you say a prayer for my lil heart that it is not broken?  Thank you...
