Send Good Thoughts Our Way!!

My Mom And My SIL Robin Taken Christmas 2009

Hey Ya'll,

Well, this week has been a bit hard.  Yesterday I found out that our Daughter Christa and the Grand Kids, are in danger of an explosion....Apparently a Train that was moving through their City (a Propane Tanker) started fire and....is still on fire.  The City/Fire Dept/Police Dept issued a mandatory evacuation within in a 1 mile radius of the burning Train.

Christa, like several of her neighbors, decided to stay in their homes.  Of course, if they are caught, they could get into trouble.  It has even been said that if anyone is caught trying to get through the barriers to return to their homes, they could be put in jail....So Christa's husband Mark is unable to return home, as he was working out of town when this occurred.  My Uncle, who lives in an apartment in their home, the home was separated into several smaller units years ago by a prior owner (their house is one of the original houses in the City).  They have since taken over most of the original house again.  But my Uncle was visiting my Mom in the next City, when this occurred, so he too is unable to return home...So here they all are, unable to return home and no change of clothing, etc....

And of this morning, it looks like they may not be able to return the their homes for several days, and of course, the main problem is that if the burning propane car actually explodes, it would send out flames for quite some distance and flying debris and metal for up to a mile.  They state that if this occurs, it would be a catastrophic event.  Christa's house is within the mile border.  So keep good thoughts that nothing happens and she didn't make a bad decision in staying home.  Also, because they aren't supposed to be there, they can't make any noises, and I am guessing no lights on at night either!

***UPDATE***

I just found out that they are going to allow residents back into their homes tonight at Midnight!!

Another bad thing that I found out today, is that my Mom fell a few days ago, and she didn't tell me because of what was discovered during the Doctor visit.  She said that she didn't want to worry me until she had more information.....Luckily she only cut her Head open.  In her physical condition, she could very easily have broken several bones!!!

But because she cut her Head open pretty good, they took her into an Urgent Care kind of place as I think this happened over the weekend.  She needed about 6 staples to close her Head up (which she said was very painful even though they supposedly numbed her scalp).  But upon examination, before the Doctor would do staple the wound closed, he told her that he wanted her to go in for some X-Rays first.  She said that she was expecting one X-Ray, they took about 8-10 X-Rays.  He then told her that he could see several Lesions (Melanoma) (she says in her Head), so I am assuming under the skin.  He told her that she has Melanoma (Skin Cancer).

So my Dad called their regular Doctor on Monday, and asked why they never said anything about it, and what was to be done.  The Doctor was angry that the "other" Doctor told my Mom that.  He said that Lesions do not necessarily mean Melanoma.  But he set her up for immediate Blood Work/Urinalysis to be done.  Of course, my Mom can barely move anymore and doesn't feel up to washing her hair, etc in order to go to the Lab.  But I made her promise that she would try her hardest to get in tomorrow.  As Melanoma is the deadliest of the Skin Cancers!!  She also told me that in her last Blood Work, her White Blood Cell count was either too low or too high (I think it was too low).  So please keep good thoughts for her.

And the Blood Work/Urinalysis I did a few weeks back is in and I have an appointment with the Doctor tomorrow (the Doctor's Office called and requested that I go in for the results).  I was sent a copy of the test results from the Lab as well, and of course I am no Doctor, and cannot interpret them....but some of the numbers are obvious.  My Vitamin D is LOW, my Calcium is LOW, my Cholesterol is HIGH, and the number that bothers me the most I think, is my ALT(SGPT) level is HIGH (10 points higher than the upper level).

When I looked this up, it says that it "could" indicate anything from "something not so bad", to Liver Damage, Hepatitis, Cirrhosis or Cancer (among other things).  Of course, I am expecting this to be on the mild side.  Unfortunately, since my Cholesterol is High, I am not sure if I can be treated with drugs like I was in the past.  In the past (several years ago now), I was given Lipitor to control the High Cholesterol, and I know that it can cause damage to the Liver.....Most recently, I was given Celebrex to treat the Arthritis in my Neck, and I believe it too can cause damage to the Liver.  So I am afraid that I may have to go off of several of my Medications.  If so, I am afraid that my Neck will flare right back up again, especially since it is just now getting under control....I will keep you posted.

On Sunday, Walt and I took a nice ride on the bike.  We rode down to Carson City, then headed East for about 60 miles, then turned back South to Reno.  All in all, we were gone about 5 1/2 hours.  We made a few stops along the way, including eating lunch.  All in all, it was a nice day, not too hot.  A great day for a bike ride.

So.....other than this, nothing much happening here!!  Except that Walt starts his new job here in Nevada on Monday!  Till next time.....

Aloha My Friends  :)

What A Week! R U Sure I Had A Birthday?

Just thought that I would share this photo that I took from my Truck, while sitting at an Intersection during Hot August Nights here in Reno, of this classic Corvette.... Classic cars were everywhere!!

I Want To Apologize Up Front, For All Of The Photos That I Have Included At The Bottom Of The Post!!

Hey Ya'll,

Well last Sunday, Walt and I drove down to Sacramento.  Originally I was going to drive myself down on my Birthday (Aug 17th (now age 56 and proud of it!)) so that I could have lunch with my Family, then drive myself back up to Reno....But since Walt got a job up here in Nevada.....this week will be his last week working down in Sacramento!  When our Daughter Kat, married and bought their first house, we helped (or should I say.....we did most of the painting) paint the majority of the inside of her house.  What we didn't paint at the time, we said that we would paint later on.  Well, finally Kat decided that it was time to do it, and since this week is Walt's last week down there.  I decided to go down with him last week to help paint.  This way, Walt doesn't have to paint this week, which will be his last and he can enjoy spending time with family and friends for lunch and dinner each day!!

My only stipulation in helping paint last week, was that I didn't want to paint on my Birthday.  Which is why we drove down on Sunday.  This way we were able to figure out what supplies we needed, and for Walt to wash the walls (Sunday) so that I could start painting/cutting on Monday morning.  Luckily, we only had to paint her spare Bathroom, the Closet in her 3rd Bedroom, and her Kitchen Pantry.  So I primed the walls all day Monday (about 7 hours), then finished with painting them all day Tuesday (another 7 hours).  But at least they were done, and I had my Birthday off!

So on Wednesday, Kat and I met up with my Parents, Christa and my Grand Kids, and my Sister-In-Law Robin for lunch.  We originally were going to eat at one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants close to where my Parents live, but Kat doesn't really like Mexican, so I changed it to Chili's Restaurant so she would go as well.  Which was fine for everyone except my Parents.  They both have trouble eating anything that takes a lot of chewing (I forgot).  So I wished that I had stayed with the original Restaurant.  Especially since my Mom thought that she was going to get to eat Mexican (her favorite), and she so rarely gets out of the house.....Oh well, next time I see her, I will have to take her a plate from there to make it up to her.

Just before we left the Restaurant, I gave Emily and Walker their gifts that I made for them.  I made Emily the Crocheted Baby Bear and Ballerina Bear as well as a new Crocheted Hat for this Winter, and a kid sized Crocheted Tote Bag in her favorite colors (Pink and Purple) of course!!  OMG!  I just realized that I didn't take a photo of it before I gave it to her, since I only finished it the night before....I made it different than Christa's, and I added some hand made Flower's to it too!!  Maybe I can get Christa to take a photo of it for me and send it to me online....? 

For Walker, I made him a Crocheted Hat and a Mom and Baby (set) Crocheted Alligator!  He really seemed to like them too.  Plus, Walt bought him a Hat from Cabela's (a local Sportsman's store here) for wearing outside hunting, etc.  I told them that since we won't be there for their actual Birthdays (Aug/Sept), we would celebrate their Birthdays when they come up here to visit (hopefully this week or next). 

Both kids really want to go to Cabela's, and to Sheel's (also a huge Sportsman's store (they have an indoor Ferris Wheel)).  And Christa wants to go to one of our local Outlet Malls.  Plus we will be eating lunch and who knows, maybe dinner too, depending on how late they are here before they have to drive back down to Sacramento.  So I told them that they can pick out their Birthday presents while here.  They seemed to like that idea! LOL

So while Walt and I were down in Sacramento, we ate at an Italian Restaurant, called Johnny Carino's on Sunday night with Kat.  I decided to break with tradition and eat their Lasagna (I usually eat Spaghetti and Meatballs).  It was fantastic, the best Lasagna I have ever eaten!! Then of course our lunch at Chili's on my Birthday, then we came home on Thursday.  And no, I didn't get to eat out for Dinner on my Birthday.  Which is kind of a tradition in our Family.  But Elliott, our SIL wanted Walt to make his BBQ Meatloaf, so Walt made that for dinner on my Birthday.  He promised to make it up to me....I am still waiting! 

Today, Walt and I had a bit of a blowup.  Walt goes through "things", I can't really say what.  But sometimes he seems to have a stick up his butt, and he is moody and an asshole (sorry) all day, and even he doesn't know why sometimes.  Well, today seemed to be "one of those days".  I just got sick of it, and blew up right back, so as of right now, we are not really on speaking terms....so if he goes down to Sacramento on Monday morning without taking me out for my Birthday dinner, I just may have to take myself out to dinner while he is away!!!  At least it would be cheaper!  LOL

Before I forget, the Friday before we drove down to Sacramento, Walt had his first Colonoscopy.  They found and removed 3 small Polyp's, and sent them for testing.  We got a call while in Sacramento from our Doctor letting Walt know that they were all benign as was expected, so all is good!!  :)

Well, I guess I will go for now.  I have a lot to do.  I want to make a couple more Tote Bags and Hats for gifts, plus I am making 2 Afghans for Christmas presents.  So I have a bit of work to do!!  LOL  So....till next time, I will leave you with a TON of photos of just SOME of the cool Classic Cars/Trucks that was staying here in the RV Park.  We didn't want to drive into downtown Reno, since they tend to get about 800,000 people here for this event every year!!

Aloha My Friends  :)

This one was probably my Favorite!!

This guy reminded me of Darth Vader's Helmet from the rear!!

Talk about ORANGE, and LOUD!  They usually drove in around midnight!

 A Classic in the making....

I'm not too sure that this one will EVER make it to fully restored Classic!!

Not too sure if you can tell, but this Motorhome is HUGE!!  At least 45-50 ft long.  And it towed a giant Trailer just as high (I never did see what was inside of it!)

Thanks Jen For My Button!!

Hey Ya'll,

I just wanted to make a quick post to say THANK YOU to Jen from Jen's Lap Band Journey, and Just Foolin Blog Designs!!  She made this beautiful Button for my blog.  I pretty much left it up to her as to what it entailed.  And I Love It!!  Again, thanks Jen!!

Tomorrow morning I have to wake up early (at least early for me, like 7:30-8:00, remember that I don't go to bed early) so that I can drive Walt to get his first Colonoscopy!!  Lucky Walt....I do know what he will be going through, since I have gone through two so far myself!  LOL  The biggest problem is that he hasn't been able to eat since last night, and he is the type that gets a horrible headache if he doesn't eat at regular intervals....so he has been a bit of a Bear tonight....at least I will be able to take him to eat lunch afterwards (assuming he feels up to it)!!  I will post more later....till next time.

Aloha My Friends  :)

Hey Ya'll,

I just noticed that Dee is back!!  Dee used to be one of my early Follower's, and we used to comment back and forth a lot....then she dropped out for a bit.  BUT....now Dee is back!!  Unfortunately, Dee has been having some issues with her Band, and could use some support, so if you haven't already started to Follow her, please use this link My Kajun Life. and say hi!!

So Dee....."Welcome BACK to my Nightmare!"  LOL

The Doctor Wants To See Me!! :(

This is what downtown Reno will look like this week!!

And these are a few of cars that were here in past years!!

Hey Ya'll,

Well, I woke up this morning and found that my Doctors Office called, and left me a message that the Doctor wants to see me regarding my Lab work, that I did last week....she was checking for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cholesterol among other things.  So keep your fingers crossed that it is only the Cholesterol that she is concerned about, and not that I DO have RA!!

Other than that, not too much to report here.  Except that this week is Hot August Nights here in Reno, and I get to look out of my window (or walk through the RV Park), and see all of these Cool Cars driving by!!  The 6 day event starts tomorrow, and more RV's towing their fancy Trailers, with their Fancy Cool Cars in them, keep pulling in!!  I just wish that I had the guts to go walking through the park and take photos of the ones that are out of their Trailers!!  Maybe I will sit outside early this evening and get a few photos of some that drive by.....till next time.....a few more cars below!!

Aloha My Friends  :)

This car was parked not too far from our RV!  I took this photo from inside our RV, so I hope that it shows ok.

The same car, closer up.  So I hope that it isn't blurry!!

And this car was parked 3 spaces away from us, and I took this photo from inside our RV as well...

A Warm Welcome To...Mary :)

 

Hey Ya'll,

I just checked in, and found that I had a new Follower!!  I had just started Following her tonight myself!!  So I was happy to see that she has already reciprocated!  Her name is Mary, and this is Mary's blog link: Until My Cup Runneth Over....  Mary is planning on having the Sleeve done, and I for one am rooting for her to succeed!! 

Mary is almost finished jumping through all of the Insurance hoops, and is hoping to have the paperwork submitted to her Insurance Co, for Surgery approval by the end of the month!!  Also, did I mention that Mary has quit smoking, and is now on day 28???  So if you haven't found Mary's blog yet, please do, and say hi for me!!  So Mary....."Welcome to my Nightmare!"  LOL

A Hijacked Survey From Ms M!!

This is a photo of the 1st Tattoo, that I got in April of 2007.  It is placed on my lower Back, and the only time it hurt (because of the Pinched Nerve in my Lower Spine), was when she was Tattooing the Red Cross (which was placed directly on my Spine).  The Black Filigree didn't hurt at all.  I could hear the Tattoo machine running, and I could feel pressure on my skin, but no pain!!  Which is why I thought that the Tattoo on my Calf (done the next year) wouldn't hurt either.  Wrong!!!!!  LOL  It hurt like (h***)!  Three hours of pure pain!  Oh well, live and learn!

Hey Ya'll,

Well, not too much happening here right now.  I have been taking my new RX Celebrex for Arthritis in my Neck for a few days now.  It appears to be working.  As I said in prior posts, my Neck has been killing me now for 6 wks and 3 days.  But I have noticed that the pain is slowly diminishing, thank god!!  It still hurts, but for the most part, is now bearable.  So I am hopeful that within a week to 2 weeks, it will no longer hurt me.....

Other than that, I don't have too much to say.  Walt and I went to the new Doctor we were referred to by Carolyn (Walt's ex-wife), last week here in Reno, and this Doctor has scheduled Walt for a Colonoscopy (hee hee...I have already had 2, so I know what to expect, and as far as I am concerned, the only part to be afraid of, is the "Prep" crap that you have to drink the day before!!).  He had been making sure that he didn't have one before this, but she advised him to get it done!  And, she had us get some major Blood Work done.  She is testing me for about twice what she is testing Walt for.  One of the things that we are looking for in my Blood Work, is Rheumatoid Arthritis....we are hopeful that my Arthritis is just the normal everyday kind, and NOT Rheumatoid Arthritis.  But I do have some of the symptoms of it, and my past Blood Work had shown RH Factors in it.  So to be safe, we are re-checking for it.

So other than that....all's well here.  However, we are expecting the RV Park here to fill up in the next day or two though, with RVs towing some really cool cars (some have already arrived, but they are keeping their cars inside their Trailer carriers), as Reno has an annual gathering called Hot August Nights, which brings hundreds of Cool Cars!  I am hopeful to get a few photos of some of them before they take them into downtown Reno to show.  If I do, I will post some later.  Here is a couple of websites that discuss the event this year (they are expecting about 800,000 people!!)  Hot August Nights Reno-Sparks, and Hot August Nights Reno-Tahoe.  So this should be exciting!!  However, Walt and I will probably try to stay as far away as we can get though....just think of the traffic???

In closing, I found this Survey on Ms M's (Fatscapades Of a Redheaded Chick) blog, and thought it was great.  So here it is!!

Till next time....

Oh The Pain!!! :(

This is a photo we took from our balcony while on vacation in Mazatlan a few years ago.

Hey Ya'll,

Well, Walt and I went to the new Doctor that we wanted to try, here in Reno (she's great, but not like our Doctor's in Sacramento!) last Thursday.  The main issue that I wanted to talk to her about, was getting relief from my stiff Neck!!  It is now 6 weeks as of today that it has been like this.....

The Doctor thinks that the Arthritis in my Neck is worse and something set it off to hurt really bad again!  Whatever the cause, it hurts!!  This reminds me of when my Fibromyalgia first flared up, my Neck, Shoulder's and Back hurt so bad, that I was contemplating suicide.  Until I told my Neurologist how bad it hurt, and she changed up my Meds!!  This new Doctor gave me a sample card of Celebrex (3 days worth) and an RX for it, to try to see if it helps.  She didn't want to give me a Muscle Relaxer because of all the RX's that I take (17, however, some of those are creams and lotions for my skin).  I have taken Celebrex before, after the FDA took Vioxx off the market.  Too bad, Vioxx worked the best!!

I am now out of the samples I was given, and my Insurance is still in the process of approving the Celebrex RX....Right now, my Neck hurts so bad, I am trying to eat lunch and it kills me to open my Mouth to take a bite!!  So today I would say that my pain was at least at a 9 on the scale from 1-10!  I took a Tylenol 3, so hopefully it will take the edge off of the pain soon....

The only thing that keeps me going when my pain is like this, is that I don't have to try to go into work and function in this condition.  Before I "Retired", I was on FMLA for my Medical problems, but I was missing so much work, that I wasn't going to be able to re-qualify for FMLA in the next year, because I wasn't working enough hours!!  It is a catch 22, you have to work a minimum number of hours to qualify for FMLA, but when you can't make it in to work....you won't qualify.

Anyway, I am sorry for the Debbie downer post today, I just needed to vent a bit.  I will be calling the Pharmacy soon to see if they have received the ok from my Insurance to fill my RX.  As I had noticed some relief from the pain and stiffness while I was on the Celebrex, especially with it combined with the Tylenol 3!

Till next time.....

Aloha My Friends  :)  :(
