The Biggest Loser League

Last night that was good for me. Being out with friends really helped my mood. Tomorrow one of my friends.....who is a member of BLL.... and I are going  out to a movie....not sure what we will see but it will be nice. As a side note.... I am sleeping more and I guess that is good but I need to get back to gettting up at 4 am for work...uggg.

I can't wait till Monday when I can start working out again....I might cheat a little and do some Sunday....I won't push it!

I haven't been on here in the last few days. The funeral for my friend was on Sunday and I have been rather down and have not felt like geting online.

Good news is that I had my Doctor's appointment on Monday and he told me next Monday 2-2-09 I can go back to full activity with no restrictions! Being able to exercise will help me get out of my dark mood.

I go back to work next Thursday and that will help me too. Being off work since my surgery on 1-9-09 doesn't help our pocketbook either.

I just need to kick myself in the butt to get going when I can and I will be very happy to do it!

We are going out tonight with some friends and hopefully that will help me.

I am not sure if I should even write this on here or not, but I am going to.

Yesterday was a hard day. I found out I have an elevated WBC so had to go to my doctor and get a shot of Rocephin and start on oral antibiotics. No big deal..... but it explaned why I have been feeling ugly.

After that we went to a local hopstial to visit a friend of ours who has been on a vent since last Friday. We are close friends with both him and his wife, they just got married on Dec 9. He was looking better, his numbers were better. He had double pnuemonia.  We came home thinking things were looking good.

About 3 hours later we got a call from his wife saying his right lung had collapsed. They had to put in a chest tube. 

Around midnight she called us and said he wasn't doing well. We headed back to the hospital then. It is about 30 miles from us. Halfway there she called us and told us he had died.

I can not explain how hard it was to go into that room when we got there. And remember I am a RN and have worked in ICU most of my carreer.

 He was only 43....same age as me.

I guess I am still in a bit of shock and just had to write this out.
