Good Morning Blogworld!!!!!
Yesterday was onco doc appointment WOOHOO LOL
August 2007 I had emergancy surgery (partial hysto) to fix a mmmm female problem I had. When the pathology report came back (4 days after surgery) I was diaganosed with "mixed mullerian sarcoma" uterine cancer. I went through 6 weeks of radiation ..... and visiting the onco doctor.... On May 3rd I will be 21 months out of cancer !!!!!! Onco Doc gave me a clean bill of health thus far yesterday. Three spots I have in different places in my torso are all still the same size as they were in August 2007 (had a ct scan 4/15/09) so there NOT cancer :)
He told me he will see me in a year and to have a good life Stop worrying and to LIVE life :)
So I will be going back to school to finish my degree in respiratory therapy. I will be savin to go on a cruise for my 5th wedding anniversary (next March 1st) and I will be makin plans to attend alot of my sons school activities next year. My son just turned 5 last saturday :) and he will be starting kindergarden this fall :) Boy where does time go so fast ....... I will continue to learn to love myself and strive for a healthier life :)
Life is good....... make plans....... livestrong

School and Doctors
Hey there Blog world :)
Good Morning to a wonderful Thursday Morning :)
Yesterday was the day to register for spring classes. Registeration started at 3pm and the webpage to the college was jammed at times :( It took me from 3 to 4:20 to finally get registered and get signed up for the morning lab classes. By 6 last night the morning lab class was filled up (that is why I had to take a vacation day from work and make sure I was able to get signed for the morning lab) So now that is over the stress there is Lighter... Now just to keep my grades at a C and above so I can continue on to spring classes :) I am starting to see an end to all this madness after all :)
I have a test in tonights Advanced A and P class as well as a lab test tomorrow morning.
Hubby has to see the urologist tomorrow morning and I am debating if I should go with or not. I really cant take the time off school as I have a lab test tomorrow ...... but I do want to "know" what is going on with the medical stuff with hubby. Not sure he will ask all the things I would LOL and not sure he will "listen" good enough .....if you know what I mean :)
But I guess we will see what tomorrow holds huh :)
This is my weekend off work and I will be studying for I have a test on tuesday in my morning class :) As well as I do believe we will go bowling this weekend (our family outing) Liam starts school next year and I am getting excited already. We have been working on our ABC's writing them. He knows his colors (seeing them) and he can count to 17 before he misses a number :) And he knows how to say his ABCs .... we are working on shoe tying now also..... not sure if I am pushing him to much or if he should know more at this age?? Any input on this would be much appreciated :)
Have a great day and ROCK ON :)

Hey there Blog land waking up to a wonderful Monday morning :)
Sun is peaking out and life is great. I sat a challenge for myself last week to exercise at least 15 minutes a day for five days and we accomplished that .......most days I did 30 minutes and a few days I did 15 to 20 minutes but I moved 6 or the 7 days last week......
I am going to continue challenging myself to moving again this week and if you like jump aboard and move with me..... exercise strengthen your heart, mind and body :)
I have Wednesday off as a vacation day this week due to having to sign up for next semesters lab class. See registerastion starts Wednesday at 6 pm and the lab class is offered on fridays from 8 to noon and 1pm to 5pm so I "have" to be online to be one of the first ones to register and get the early lab class LOL so I cant be at work and do that....... OK OK So Wednesday is a easy study lazy clean house day for me wooooohooooooo I surely can use one of them and Get Paid for it :)
Have a great day and ROCK ON :)

Another Test Done !!!!!
Hey there world!!
Tonight I had my 2nd test in Avanced Cardio-Pulmonary A and P..... I got a 91 so not to bad I think...... next week we will be going over the heart and finishing our work study guide then the 1st thursday of November we will have our test over the Heart. One thing I find so interesting about studying respiratory is learning how and why parts of my body work like they do.
Did you know that at day 26 after conception(pregnant LOL sorry about spelling) the five lobes of your lung are in started already. You are ONLY a spot, a very small dot but already you have the starting of all five lobes of your lungs :) That rocks......
I did get 15 minutes in on the exercise bike today woooooohooooooo and I feel great because of it to be honest....
Tomorrow I will not get any exercise in .... I will be in lab class from 8 to noon then working from 1:30 to 9:30 tomorrow night... and in between them times I will run home and cook my guys dinner and get my bod dressed in my scrubs for work :) This is my weekend off and let me tell you I LOVE it :)
My boss (the director of the lab) is awesome...... she is working with me next semester with my hours for work and school..... she knows I have to keep 36 hours a week in order to keep my insurance and not have to pay more then I can afford if that makes sense (insurance now is 147 a month for a family) if I go under 36 hours a week then it goes up to 734 a month well lets say I would be working just to pay for insurance NOT good....... so next semester I will be using all my vacation and holidays up to get through the spring semester of school and still be able to have every other weekend off ....... so she is truly working with me to keep me at my hours and to work around school. She can be a hard person to figure out sometimes but she is ok :)
Ok hope this finds the world going great in your life
Live Love and Laugh a million times more as each day goes by :)
Keep on keepin on :)

Managing Life
Hey there Blog Land :)
It seems like managing life is taking up alot of my life. Do you ever feel like that??
School is going good. I am getting a B in one class and a C in the other class (need to study harder in that class I do believe)
Work is good. I can say I truly enjoy going phlebotomy work. I know that may sound crazy to some...... cause phleb work is drawing blood from people but it gives me a chance to help others medically and to peak into others lives if only for a moment.
Life at home is so so..... Liam is growin like a weed and very active running talking playing..... I love to watch and listen to him.... Billy and I are living and striving..... trying to make things work. Marriage I do believe is a hard relationship to make work at times.... especially when we work different shifts and I am in school. So we have like every other weekend that we can actually spend time together when one of us is not off to work or school. So we are struggling with contection issues and just striving to get through it and be happy :)
I go back to my oncologist next thursday (Oct. 30th) Did my blood work and my liver and kidneys look good via the blood work..... my glucose is a little high 121 and my iron is LOW LOW (I dont eat alot of iron rich foods) my iron is a 26 and should be atleast a 72 so I am now back on iron supplement (Fergon) it is something I may always have to take due to me not eating greens and red meats....... Also did my chest xray for the oncologist.(he is watch a 5mm spot on one of my lungs) chest xray looked ok to me but LOL who am I to say what it is..... But I do believe in my heart that God has healed me of cancer and that they will not find the spot to be growing..... when I had a ct scan of my lungs done in Feburary the spot looked the same so that is good :)
So now just to get through next thursdays doctors appointment and we will be flying high again.
I am starting over once again with the exercise. I went to a nutritionish last month and we discussed me being to busy to exercise .... she told me I HAVE to make time for exercise just like I make time to go to work and go to school... so today I made 15 minutes to do the exercise bike while the guys diner was bakin in the oven and microwave....... so 15 minutes of exercise done... I know that is not alot but I need to start and stay going so where so here it is......
Hope this finds everyone having a AWESOME day and ROCK on life is MANAGABLE LOL even for me :)

Livin life or something like it :)
Have you ever felt like you were just "livin life" or that what you were doing was "something Like It"??
Well that is where I have been this past week and a half. I have been in the "something Like It" category... School is going FAST .....lots of reading and trying to retain information and studying. It is crazy. And it dont help matters that my instructor is new at book teachin... she is an adjunct from one of the hospitals around here......and has helped teach at the hospital (hands on) and in the lab class at the college but never a book teachin...... So she dont have her power points up until mmmmmmmm ten minutes before class starts.....and how in the world does she think you are suppose to copy print the power points and bring them to class with you for that class .... so it is NOT fun I will be off work this weekend so I will spend alot of time studying........ we have to know the route the blood flows in a fetus as well as after birth (and there is a difference LOL) among alot of other things I need to get drilled into my head PRAY for me big time.......
As for work it is going great....... I actually love being a phlebotomist and enjoy seeing alot of different people......
Ok now for the weight and food thing
well I flopped BAD BAD BAD ..... I need some help in this department....... My water is still great and breakfast eatin is good........but I need to start adding exercisin and continue to add better lunches and diners...... Ok so here is to getting back on track....... tomorrow I will start posting to my email group every day again.......and being accountable...... cause I noticed when I stopped postin every day then I did NOT add any thing new to my routine.....
My beloved hubby went to the doctor this morning (I went with him so I could hear what the doc had to say) they are retesting his total testosterone (spelling??) and he is now on a low dose blood pressure med...... B/P was 142/94 not good ...... so hubby looked at me and said well I think it is time to do somehting about this...... I want to be around to see Liam grow up... and I so well agree with him....... we both have been living fly by just doing the bare minimum and hoping to get by but we can see that is NOT working ......
So I am now on my way to work...... and raising my water bottle to chug some more
and please if you are reading this pray for all the people in the golf coast that is gonna be hit by the huricanne Ike that is coming in........ Here in the heart of Texas we will be probably getting high winds (hopefully no tornandos) and rain ......
Have a great day
