Gayle, I promise if i have another episode of it i will go to the ER, it did scare me.
I have been fine today, ate only little helpings of left overs and no problems so far.
I think thats what scared me the most was that it was not a sick feeling before i threw up but a painful feeling.

Thank's Janet for texting me and thank you for the info Gayle.

I'm so glad that you are feeling better! I hope it is nothing, but I just needed you to know that heart pain can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. I know you will take care of yourself and go to the ER if you have ANY more pain at all. I'm sorry to worry you - but I just want you to be safe!

I really do apperciate your concern, I do have to keep my self healthy for mom, and my self, but seems this body of mine has really gotten run down the last couple years.

Don't know what we would do with out you here to take care of us.

Love ya

[Janet]

I second that. Don't know what we would do without you...not only for your medical advice, but for everything you contribute to this forum and to our lives. You are so loved!

[gja1000]

Aw Janet! You are too kind. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful community of friends.

Today I'm playing 'catch-up' with the laundry, seems it's never ending especially when there are bed sheets. I'm also cleaning up both my computers...getting rid of things I've saved and really don't need taking up space. Finally cleared out all 2009 pictures and put them on a CD.

I'm home alone today...Ricky working till 5 and Rick at some Cowboy shoot thing and won't be home till 4 or later. Just me and the doggies. I was planning on going to church today, but...nothing fits. I'm so upset with myself. I have no dress pants that fit and no dresses/skirts. I really need to shop for dress clothes....that...and get some of this darn weight off.

Today I have been bringing down Christmas decorations from the attic. I am making more work for myself lol!
Good luck with your weight loss Janet. So easy to put it on but so hard to get it back off. Very frustrating!

[gja1000]

I went to the grocery store - tomorrow is Gary's birthday (62) and he wants chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and pecan pie.

Then I went to Home Depot - we have to get really serious about this moving thing. I have been purging - but when I look around it doesn't look like I have done very much! YIKES. I needed boxes, bubble wrap and packing tape.

Then we made a run to Goodwill with old suitcases and some clothes, flower vases and things like that.

Now, I am waiting for my college women's team to play basketball on TV. They are playing at Stanford, the #3 rated team in the country. We are going to get beat like a drum, but I still have to watch!

Sorry that I've been MIA. We've had a tough week. On Monday Glen and I and Dae Lynn and the kids all went out to Wichita to get the dishwasher that I bought. While we were out there Dae got a call that Damon was drinking. She had been worried about him because he was suppose to start a new part time job but when he got there they told him that they had someone else ( he hadn't kept in touch and it was his own fault) so we cut our trip short and headed home. We found out that, yes, he had been drinking but had gone to Glen's brother's house to talk to him and ended up giving him the rest of the liquor so he wouldn't drink it.

We got to Dae Lynn's house and Damon pulled in slowly with her car. He had a long talk with Glen before he came in the house but it was obvious that he had been drinking. We ended up leaving for home and stopped to check on Glen's mom. This one is funny.......Damon called Glen to come and get Dae Lynn because she had slapped him!!!!! Damon ended up not being happy because we didn't side with him over the slap!!!! It ended up that Dae Lynn and the kids came and stayed with us for a few days.

We all knew that there was something going on and that he was wanting to drink ever since Veterans Day. It ended up that Damon is going to get some help and talk to other people about what went on when he was in the war and our pastor is going to be there for him when he's wanting to drink........so hopefully we can help him to get better.

So....the night before Thanksgivng Dae Lynn and the kids went back home. Damon is in trouble for drinking but they're trying to work things out. He is a good man.....he just needs a LOT of help.

It ends up that my family is not so understanding and Glen and I heard a lot of complaints from the other kids. I'm pretty upset with some of them but I hope eventually they'll come around.

We had lots of food for Thanksgiving.......we had Dae Lynn's family and Amy's family for lunch......then Feyn's famiily and Jaci and Nate came in the evening. Things really livened up then and the girls and Nate got to cutting up!! I just love the noise of having everyone home!!!

I didn't do any sales but Amy and Dae did and picked up a couple of things for me.

We went to Wichita yesterday for a birthday surprise for an old friend that we hadn't seen for about 20 years. It was so cool how we instantly connected again and had the best visit. I met a friend of theirs named Theresa......and her last name was Baker!!!! She has yorkies and is on YT!!! I invited her to come here and check us out!! She and her husband were so nice!!!

Today's just a regular day.....Sunday school....church......lunch.....nap!!!!!!

[DianaB]

I forgot to add that the dishwasher that I got such a good deal on......was a dud!!! Glen went to put it in and it didn't have several things with it to get it installed. Also, I was suppose to have gotten $30 off and I didn't get that either. He was already fustrated about Damon so he just loaded up the dishwasher and returned it.......then he went and bought me a new one......that's really nice!!! He got it installed and ready to use in time for Thanksgivng!!! He's such a sweetie!!!

[gja1000]

Awwww, Diana, Glen IS REALLY a sweetie! Gary would do that for me too! Although he would have trouble now that he can't do very much due to his heart - but that is absolutely something he would do!

I'm sorry you have been having so much trouble in the family. You are such good people to be there for Damon - he is going to need lots of help for a long time - alcoholism is hard as well as having PTSD from the war. But your family is strong and you all can do it!

I forgot to add that I have been shredding shredding shredding!!! I bought a new shredder yesterday from Office Max. It had been $139, and I got it for $79. My mom had a little shredder and I used it when she lived here. She's been gone 2 years, so you can imagine how behind I am on my shredding! Plus, we cleaned out mom's room from when she lived here (she'd left LOTS of things here) and now I'm shredding her 00, 01, 02, 03, 04 tax stuff. That's why I bought a bigger, medium duty shredder - I knew I had LOTS of shredding to do and I didn't want to burn it up! I also have old taxes in the attic that I need to shred, and not move - but I don't know if I'll get them shredded before the move, if not, I'll just do it after the move.

[Janet]

Happy Birthday to Gary!!! I would love to be sitting at your kitchen table for that meal. I love chicken fried steak and all the fixings you mentioned. AND well...our two pecan pies are all gone now. Yummmmmmmmmmy!

Diana....I feel so bad that Damon is still having trouble with the drinking. He seemed like such a nice guy and nice guys shouldn't have such bad demons from war...it's just not fair. Dae Lynn is a strong young lady and I'm so sure she'll be fine with you and Glenn as her parents.
