Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy  Homemaker Monday

Hosted by Sandra!

This week is starting out  crazy!    I begin prep   for my  colonoscopy  this afternoon,   but last  Friday when I called the hospital to pre-register  they did not have me on the schedule for a procedure so I dealt with the   doctor's office  for about a half hour....     and was told all  fixed. So I called the hospital  this morning to  pre-register and I still wasn't in the  system.  So I called the doctor's office and sure enough they told me  nothing had been done.    I was    about to explode inside.  I  really  wasn't in the mood to  get  so  upset today..   since I am fasting and  begin the prep  meds  right after lunchtime..    or  a little over an hour from now.   But I wasn't going to  do the prep  if I didn't have an appt for tomorrow..  I feel like my blood pressure is    crazy and   my blood sugar.. is well.  I dont know  all I've had today is a cup of tea and  a dietetic lemon popsicle!    (" MAMA!)

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥ 

                                                   Ahhhhh!!  I wish!!!

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥ 

I'm  truly  trying to come down to earth  following  my  disturbing morning!!.   Taking deep breaths and   thinking  high thoughts!!!

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 
I, originally,  got a paper from my  attending physician in May telling me all the details  about my procedure tomorrow .. the time, place,  and directions for  the  prep  for  today.  Gee Whiz, I really thought  things were all set.   So  Ive  actually  been on the verge of  crazy  even  before May    when I  had  this   my other colonoscopy  and  was told  that I had  one other polyp that the doctor couldn't get out  because of some scar tissue.  So I have to come in, in a few months to  have another procedure to try to get it out and if  he couldn't get it I'd  have a resection of my bowel     to remove it that way!   I was still reeling from the news that I'd  be coming back in a few months  for  another colonoscopy...   after  taht  realization  I started  dwelling on the  resection....   and now  the few months have passed and here I am a nervous wreck.  Oh, yes..  breathe..  ... high thoughts  Enough about this!!!!!

♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥ 

  I am actually really feeling good about the procedure..  (Not so much the prep)   I know  God  is with me.  He  will  bring out the best result for me..   I fully trust in Him and  I have  many prayers    from church and  friends  abroad  so I am covered!!   And I can feel  it!!    So I'm good!!!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
