Sunday Evening Wind Down...

Even with Storms in your Life... There is BEAUTY and GOD is GOOD!!!

Hello Friends,

Not a whole lot to report Medically... Actually NOTHING.. LOL I called the Specialist on Friday just to follow up - was told that my reports were on his desk - he was at a Conference and would return Monday - once he looks them over - his secretary will call and set up an appointment.. WHATEVER!!! I did tell her that I would not be available Thurs- till after the holiday - Why is my TIME not as IMPORTANT... UGH!

This is going to be a GREAT week - I was bummed (but Understood) when my Friend Marnie said she was not going to be able to make the trip to the Mountains. BUT, everything happens for a REASON - she was able to get a job for this week.... GET THIS in Brandon/Riverview (what 45 mins away) - so the GREAT news is that I will get to see her Tues and Wed Evenings - she will get to see my house and meet Cory the Wonder Cat.. I wished the others could get to meet her and hang out - but I will be SELFISH and say I am HAPPY I get some time w/ her!

Thursday I will be heading to Nashville and 4 of us will be hanging out an awesome cabin in the Smokey Mts... Will be a FANTASTIC getaway!!! More about the trip later..

Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend... Be Blessed and LIVE with your HEART!!

XOXO, M

Little catch up Friends

Sorry I have been quiet - just not a lot to post!!!!

I was so blessed with Great Friends - Cristy and John had me over this weekend - to hang with them and the GIRLIES... Had a BLAST - just nice to take my mind off of things for a FEW Minutes here and there... Cristy treated me to a Pedicure was heaven and Brewster Ice Cream.. YUMMY!!! So thank you guys so much - I love you lots!!!

Monday - I called to make an appointment at the Specialist (So I thought) was set for Thursday @ 2:00 - then yesterday afternoon I get a call from their office said oh I listened to your message from Monday and realized you wanted - you cant do that without a referral - So then I had my DR. send the reports to him and he will review and call me for an appointment.

In the meantime I still had not gotten the blood work results... So today when I called for the 3rd time she faxed them to me and TO THE SPECIALIST -which was supposed to be YESTERDAY... SO I am still waiting for an appointment!!!

BUT there is good news DR. Margie analyzed her own blood results and the Ovarian Cancer marker was well in the NORMAL RANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So a little bit of RELIEF!!!

Stay tuned - keep Praying... LOVE YOU ALL...

PS. GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday Friends...

Took this in North Carolina a few year back - I love pictures of PATHS - it give me STRENGTH and keeps me CALM...

Just a quick update with not much to UPDATE!!!

I called first thing this morning to get the appointment with the Specialist - and well the offices are closed on Friday... GO FIGURE!!! Anyway I will call again on Monday.

My Good Friends Cristy and John have invited (ok well I invited MYSELF) over for the weekend - so I am heading to Orlando after work today - will be back sometime on Sunday. Just felt a change of scenery would do me good - Shay has a Riding lesson in the morning and I have been wanting to see her ride for a while now!!! I am so blessed to have GREAT Friends...

Thank you all for your continued Prayers, Love and SUPPORT!! I know I have some work ahead of me - but I hope that you all are stuck with me for a LONG WHILE...

Hugs and Love, M

Margie Update - Keep Praying!!!

First off I want to thank my Family and Friends for Loving me, for caring about me and most of all PRAYING for me this past week as I have been faced with some Medical Challenges...

Just to give you the whole story in one place - I will do it here!!

Last Wed - I was throwing up and had a pain in my Right side (had Flu Symptoms) but was scared that my appendix was bursting - so I went to the Drs.(those that know me know I must of been REALLY REALLY Scared)LOL She thought it was the FLU gave me some antibiotics - and was going to send me on my way - I did mention to her that from time to time my Side did hurt.. So we went ahead and ordered a Ultrasound... The results did show Gallstones and also a "Mass" on my Ovaries. They wanted me to get an MRI with and without contrast - that took place Monday and Tuesday.

Today - I was told that I needed to go to a specialist - OBGYN - Of course me who doesn't ask questions said .. OK - and then just let my MIND Play with me like usual!! Thanks to Julie - I called back the Drs. office and made an appointment to speak with my Dr. to discuss the findings and get this figured out. Hear his words and NOT MY MIND.. Glad I did!!

I do have a Golf Ball (hate golf) sized cyst on my ovaries - pretty much 100% sure that it needs to come on out and be tested... Then we will hit the next hurdle - ONCE I have the answers!! I must and will need help from my friends - to TAKE Each STEP as it comes and NOT get ahead of myself.. I can DO IT!!

And.... the gallbladder has some stones - he said least of my worries.. CRAP. LOL BUT, the abdomen showed my Liver, Spleen, Pancreas were all normal.. So will take that as good news RIGHT???

So tonight I will have a couple Corona's - call and make my appointment in the morning... Steps - they did a full blood draw tonight - Hey I'm getting good at this needle stuff.. LOL

I have a Vacation weekend planned over Labor Day - and as of this VERY Moment it is SO ON!!!! Did ask the Doc about it and he said he didn't see any reason why not!!

Again thank you for your love and support... I need each and everyone of you right now!! Love you and don't want to ever feel like I am alone... I know that I am NOT!!!

LOVE YOU, M

Day 10-11-12 & 13 NO WAY!!

Have I really been gone that long!!!

Sorry friends - Been down with a FLU Bug!! Finally went to the Doctors yesterday got some antibiotics and they did an Ultrasound of my Stomach/Abdm. and Pelvis just to rule out the side pain I was having... No results yet..

I promise to be back to my daily posts... Right now my biggest MIT is to catch up from missing 2 days at work... YIPPPEEE!!!

Have a Great day - Live with your HEART!!

XOXO, M

I came home today at lunch - met with Scott and Elliott - they are going to be working here tomorrow!!! Project #3 underway - power wash the deck and get rid of the overgrown / leaves - so NEW Mulch can be put down.. YEAH!! I will put the finish on this weekend!!

I came home after work- cleaned the bathroom - mopped the floors in both BR and Kitchen - ran the Vacuum - cleaned litter box - all trash to dumpster!!!

Then................ I created a GMail account: margiesfp@gmail.com this is to be used for my personal emails. I am in the process of cleaning out my inbox.. I had over 2,000 not opened emails.. Tonight I sat her and UNSUBSCRIBE from prob 50 companies.. Deleted the Mail.. I have it down to under 1000 and will do more tomorrow!! I also have deleted the two old emails and the AOL email from my Phone and Itouch - I will only get notifications to the Touch from my Gmail account. Once I get the Roadrunner business account: margie-sfp@tampabay.rr.com cleaned up - this will be used only for business related emails.

So friends another night of PROGRESS!!!

Please keep my Aunt Jeanne in your thoughts and Prayers, she is having surgery tomorrow on her shoulder at 1:00 pm... She is my ROCK and a great example of how I have lived my LIFE!!! I would not be who I am without her love and support all my life!!! TY!!

Today was a Garage Day - I am 90% complete - by tomorrow night the Car will be back in it's HOME!! I will take some pics tomorrow to show you the COOL Cabinets and Shelving I bought today - LOVE Home Depot. LOL

I knew I didn't want to sit home tonight - and was either going to the Casino or try to find tickets to the Ray's Game - which included a Concert by Daughtery!!! So at 2:30 I looked on Craig's List - made a couple Calls quickly showered and drove to Tampa to pick up the Tix - went and got my Cousin Karol and off we went - game started at 4:08 and we MADE IT!! BTW, this was much easier on my Pocket book than the Casino would of been..
