Normal what the heck is that??LOL. I guess having 2 teenagers in the

house would erase any and all normalcy from my life..hehe. Did you

go to that huge Mall of America. I foget exactly where it is but it

has an amusement park in it and stuff like that. I believe they were

building one like that in Myrtle Beach where the old air base was but

it has been soooo long since I have played up there I have no idea.

I usually head up to the outlet parks near Christmas but I couldn't

do that last year. Shoot I was in Cincy.

I know it must have been beautiful to see your sister. How long has

it been? I dont have any family other then my kids so cherish those

moments and memories. A well deserved vacayI would say. I am so

impressed that you have gone back to work. You are one tough broad

Kaye!!!!!!

I hope you dont have a need to call Dr. C for a very very long time.

Oh and the fall in Chas is fabulous. To be honest I dont even want

to be here during hurricane season..*S* and there is another one

brewing int he Caribbean. Its gonna be a rough season thats for

sure; but I am a 7th generation tonian; we can take it and I

dont evacuate either. Stubborn!!

Stay well shoog and we'll talk soon,

Two teenagers sounds normal to me! Been there done that and I miss

it! I have often wondered what I would have done ahd I gotten sick

while they were still minors at home. I had the SOD that was

undiagnosed and the poor kids didn't know what was going on just

with that pain. Of course you know it was irritable bowel! haha

Mall of America is in Minnesota where my sisters oldest lives. I

went to Michigan. My sister comes every year and she was here twice

after her hubby died so I see her and I talk to her several times a

day (one rate calling) but it was great to go to her house and sit

at her table. My favorite thing was we went to this little shop

called everything U.K. that is run by two English ladies and you

have authentic scones and tea and finger sandwiches. The building

is a little rock building. It is my favorite place now! I ate

scones and jam and clotted CREAM and it did not bother me!

Sometimes I feel bad saying that because so many are sick, but there

is hope. I think what it takes to bring someone back to health

varies with each individual. I am hoping and praying that bile duct

stays open for good now.

As far as working, the company I work for has us at home so while it

is a big thing to me, I could not " go out " to work I don't think.

Now, I am suffering from muscle spasms in my arm and back from

sitting and typing. ACtually went to the ER yesterday to make sure

it was not another blood clot like February. BTW, had a blood clot

in November and one in February at the site of aPICC line. They

did a bunch of DNA tests and found out I had " factor V Leiden " which

is a gene mutation towareds blood clotting. Not full blow factor V

deficiency (which you would have if both parents had this) but

enough to cause worry. Since I haven't had problems except

with " forein bodies " they are going to just watch things. For years

I bled, they told me after testing I had Von Willebrand disease

which is a bleeding disorder as you probably know. How you

can " flip " from bleeding to clotting is beyond me!

I am getting a lot of flack about working from my family. They are

afraid I will lose my SS benefits. Well, if I work long enough and

make enough I will. But SS has safeguards in place as far as

starting your benefits back up if you can't work. Plus, I would

rather work if I can. Its good for the mind. I just ignore them

all! hehe

Great talking to you Chrissy. I pray you and everybody with this

stuff feels better every day!

Hey Chrissy,

Did you get my invite to the beach for Dec?

Maybe we could shop till we drop !! and maybe the hurricanes will be

done then !!

Our timeshare condo is 2 bedroom and set up to see 4 adults and 4 kids,

so lots of room and I am serious about the invite. Heck we can have our

SC chicks gathering there. What do you think ??!!

Love, Cyndi
