Pretty In PINK!!!!

Monday was a good day for me. Let's just say by Monday AM I had had it with my 2nd purple cast. I was WHINING and complaining as I was pretty uncomfortable. The cast once again had slipped and was riding on my ankle and heel. Miserable. So into the rescue come TJ (the wizard of knowing who to call to order anything) and Dr Letarte. TJ had ordered new cast "stuff" last week just for this exact occasion. Following the removal and re-applying of my new cast I was feeling a whole lot better and all is right in my world again. Not only does the cast fit better but it is shorter on my thigh so I can now sit and shorter on my lower leg so it doesn't ride on my ankles. Thanks Dr Letarte, TJ and Claudia for rescuing the whiney spoiled person yesterday. Be warned the pic of my leg without the cast is disgusting as I have no muscle left in my thigh!!!!!
And to top the day off I had my haircut and colored last night. So ya I would say a good day for me
Today we hit it really hard working on the leg muscles plus upper body weights. I am tired but feel good tonight!
Tomorrow night is class at Jan's am looking forward to that.

Cutting off the cast. despite my expression it didn't hurt at all


Still cutting away


The gross leg Claudia and I scrubbed and scrubbed with soap and water and no the "YES" (to indicate it was the correct leg for surgery) did not come off


TJ and Dr Letarte getting the cast stuff ready to go and my leg is wrapped in padding just waiting

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

It's A Busy Good Friday

Image
These past 2 weeks have alternately flown by and dragged by. We are up and running on are new Cyber Ren EMR and we are all loving it. The staff have done an amazing job of picking up the new system and continuing to dialyze without missing a beat. TJ has been a lifesaver from helping me enter all the data to setting up all the computers in the education room for training to knowing the system inside and out. The Doc has been supportive and he understands and uses the system as well as the trainers. So all in all it has been a good experience just very long. For now we are on our own and our wonderful rep and trainer Ulrich is back in Canada. Guess time will tell if we have all the kinks and bugs worked out So long intro into why I decided to stay home today. I am exhausted. I have done very little for the Easter dinner at my house this Sunday. So here I am cleaning and doing laundry and trying to decorate. I still haven't come up with anything special for Mr A and Ms S. Got to get
