note to my brother. I will take a roll of photos at thanksgiving I promise!! And see about uploading more photos online someplace! God knows I have tons of pics of DEE LOL!! 

Boredom strikes

Bah not much going on right now really. My youngest is back on what they call homebound school. Its a couple hours twice a week cause he keeps having agression problems at school. We are looking into a full time DAY school at the mental health center his counciller is in . where he will get daily supervision by qualified teacher AND Councellers. They have daily group sesssions to work on behaviors and a max of 5 kids per class. 

Been playing Oblivion lately. Waiting for my oldest to come home for thanksgiving weekend to install another harddrive to my computer so I can install the expansions for oblivion. Windows keeps having ISSUES with how much free space I have. Aparently 15 gig isnt enough for xp to function cause it keeps bitching at me! Then I will reinstall the game and see about getting some of the Mods marv has for it. Cause right now my game is dead. I have hit an game ending bug where the main quest wont advance.. period. frustrating since i have spent over a week getting to that point. 

Cooking up for thursday. Going to SIL's daughters this year. SIL 2 has decided to spend it with her husbands family and refused to come to ours so SIL1's daughter is hosting. I gotta make deviled eggs, green bean caserole, augrauten potatoes and dee is making pumpkin bread. If SIL1 brings me the bread pans. 

its offical

Oh yea I am offically not under the vascular surgons care anymore!! My wound is to the point it no longer needs a doctors supervision. The visiting nurse will visit once more next week and that will be done also!! :) I am happy about this. 

Surgeon said he has a lady who had almost the exact same thing happen to her a few days after me and she isnt doing well at all. Hes had to operate on her 2 more times fixing abcesses and such. so I am tickled mine healed so well so fast!   

boos and screams

Its amazing how much some things have changed over the years, I can remember as a kid on halloween, kids were everywhere trick or treating, and people with portch lights off were rare. Now its the exact oposite. I think we saw 20 kids totall. Most had haphazard makeup over everyday clothes. My daughter stayed home!! Shes 16 and didn't even go trick or treating with us. I wasted like 20$ on makeup for her to zombfie herself and she stayed home!!

Its bad enough they started trick or treat at 5 pm and that 98% Of the buisnesses churches etc had their stuff earlier in the week despite the fact halloween was on a friday night. And trick or treat was over at 8pm. =/ we have gotten so paranoid with our kids halloween is becoming dull and boring. Unless you can afford to haunted house hop the week before hand. BUt only getting 1 day off work a week that isnt possible. Nor can many people afford it right now.

Good thing is gas was 2.15 a gallon today.

Has anyone noticed the disturbing trend of so called ghost shows on tv anymore?? I am watching the travel channel and sci fi and the ghost hunting shows have gotten so pathetic. The cameras are always on the so called "ghost hunters" Not on the surrounding areas. And everytime they hear a noise, bang etc they jump and scream and run like sissys. Which i think is why people watch the show anyhow. Not to see if they really do catch anything. I had a ghost push a piano into me years ago trying to pin me to the wall I would love to see a so called *ghost hunter* get that!! That would actually be a worthwhile scream and wet your pants moment!! Ghost hunters seems to be the only one who has even tried to retain a credible shred of actual seeking of the truth. At least.

I also want to apoligize to those who do read this. I know I havent posted alot recently. The whole upcomming election really hasd me in a snit. I HATE POLITICS, And having them shoved in my face now 75% of the day has put me into conversation shutdown. Each night asw we get into bed marv hitting me with the latest bullshit in politics of the day and I honestly could care less. I mean yea I would love to do whats best for my country but I am a firm believer of NOONE RUNNING is a good choice. I haven't seen anything yet to convince me either party can do a good job and I really hate to "Vote for who does the least ammount of damage" Thats bullshit. We the people of the united states of america need to do something to majorly restructure our political system. But the bitter pill to swallow is it isnt likely to happen, at least not in my lifetime I doubt.
Because I can't see major change happening without another civil war.

I never professed to know squat about politics. And I will be glad when its over. And 3 years from now everyone will be bitching about how Fucked up and shouldn't have been elected yadayada yada.

I also havent been hanging around LBT much either. Sorry to everyon there. I Just have no reason to be there. I havent gotten a band. At this point I doubt I am going to get lucky enough to get it. Besides I am considering the sleeve moreso anyhow now. But its still gonna depend on my doctors. MY cardi should pass me now for it. I gotta make an appointment with my PCP for many reasons, my insurance has refused to refill my strips for my blood monitor and refused my insulin!!!
I am off 5 blood pressure meds and now only on the 2 types of insulin and NOW they decide to give me fits about the cost of my meds. When they have gone down like 1000$ per month! I don't quite understand it.
Guess we will have to see what happens.

Been playing fallout 3. Wish my computer would stop crashing. Getting annoying.
Well my feet hurt my back hurts and I think its time for bed.

Joy! I'm healing

Yea the nurse packed up the infernal wound vac today!! Its going back to the company. 
My wound has gone in 1 months time from 10 centimeters long and 2 inches deep to 6 centimeters long and not even deep enough to put a q-tip in.

So now just daily bandage changes is all I need. A wet to dry is what they call it. 
And now instead of comming out every day the nurse will check on me again thursday and 1-2 times a week till the doctor signs off on me. which should be on the 28th. I had to change my appointment from the 21st to the 28th due to gas $$. Friday is payday so. 

I don't go back to my cardio till Nov 17th, So I need to get into my family doc before that and see if he will consider surgery for me to lose weight or if I will have to bypass him. I hope I don't have to. But will if needed. I am disturbed that my insurance has refused to pay for alot of recent happenings, like the would vac they said try conventional wound treatments first. If they woulda done that I would still have a gaping wound on my side. So I am glad they didn't.
But I feel for the VAC company who probably isn't gonna be payed. And people wonder why its getting harder and harder to find docs who take medicare/medicaid..

Things have been pretty quiet other then my healing. Boring honestly. But boring is good. Well I take that back last week Jay got in trouble in school again. He slamed a book into another kids face. I really don't know how much longer this can go on before they take him and put him somplace for violent kids. I don't think he realizes how serious this is. Cause he seems to be going off on other kids for NO reasons!! I fully expect to hear from the juvinal(sp?) probation department again soon if he can't stop this. Guess we will have to wait and see. 

I'm feeling good enough about the wound thing that I think I'm gonna test the *As tollerated* Physical activity thing tonight which should ease dear Marv a bit. Poor guy has been so patient with me. *Wink* Have to see how that goes. lol
