Something About Nothing ... #12

I went back and edited my post. You would think that a professor’s wife would learn to proofread before posting.

Train? What train? I live in a small town that doesn’t even have bus service.

Our local ( city) train has an airport line. So from my suburban station, about 5 minutes car ride from home, it is about an hour train ride right to the terminals. If it is our family, about an hour car ride. So, if just 1 or 2 if us, cheaper and easier to ride the train and avoid all the traffic, as we have to go through the city, and it is never not busy.

MonyK, oh no, sick bay for you too. Hope you feel better soon and will enjoy that cook off. Yep, family sharing is how I got my cold as well.

Train from city is running late, thought I would have been home by now.

I live in a small town adjacent to a small city. I think it takes 15-20 minutes to drive to the airport depending on traffic. I refuse to fly in or out of the local airport because it is too small to accommodate large jets. I really hate flying, but feel safer on the huge planes.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I am not fond of small planes either, but got used to one, as my Dsis has a 4 seater, get in under the wing turboprop. We use it to go down the shore, as from where she goes from to where we land at the shore, are very small airports. I rode a 20 seater a few times. My favorite large was a two story jumbo jet from Boston to home, as I just had my purse because my DH had taken all my luggage when he drove home, and I had gotten to the airport early. I was asked if I wanted the earlier flight that was going to Germany after stopping at my airport. Why yes. Took like 1 hour flight time in nice seats. I have also flown in a C-5 military aicraft. Sitting in jump seats in the cargo area was like nothing else. That was when older one was 3, and he promptly climbed up the ladder to the cockpit, as the pilot let him sit in his seat when we landed. I have a picture of his little body waving to me from the open window in the cockpit. No way in poo would I have followed him up there.

Pizza night as kids were hungry and the train ride made me queezy and with a nasty headache. Then older one got wings with Korean sauce. Not hot he said, sweet he said. Grrr, he must have no feeling in his mouth. Hot enough that my lips were burning, so more milk had to be drank, and now I have indigestion. Ah, a bath may be in order.

Little one took my car to her friend’s. I said back by 9:30, she said 10, I said 9:30, she said 9:30, 10. I guess it will be closer to 10. Older one is playing online with his friends, so no big TV for me. iPad viewing, but am tired. I may be the first one in bed. 82 tomorrow, so suntan lotion and hat ready.

Hope your night is more exciting than mine, so have a fabulous Friday evening.

 

[Lynne G]

Now that is the game I wanted to see.

Little one home, DH just got home, and mom ready for bed. Ugh, dad has the TV remote, more iPad viewing for me.

Lynne - I don’t think I could ever get used to a small plane. I took a brief flight in a Cessna once. I hated it, but B loved it. I also managed to summon up enough courage to fly in a helicopter when we were in Alaska.

Speaking of airplanes, i just realized that I don’t know what dh’s flight number is. Oh well, we can’t have more than one or two flights coming into our little airport at 11:30.

Morning Mac, Schumi, Keisha, Lynne, Tink, Monyk, agavegirl, charade , houseofthrees, ckmiles and all other Sans family

Past few days have been a bit challenging. Had a nice lunch with family last Sunday and not long afterwards started not feeling well. By 2 am Monday morning I was in hospital. I have 2 large stones in my common bile duct. This is the duct that causes all the pain when blocked by stones from your gallbladder.

I had my gallbladder taken out many years ago, but evidently you can still form stones in the common bile duct in absence of your gallbladder.

I had an ERCP and a stent placed in the duct Monday, but the local GI doc’s here do not have the advanced expertise or equipment to take out such large stones. I was referred up to IU medical center to see specialist GI Doc there.

Leave it to me to have Hulk size stones.

I was discharged from hospital here late Wednesday and i’am fairly comfortable. Sleeping in my own bed has been a dream.

I leave for Indianapolis tomorrow will have another ERCP done at IU medical center on Monday to see if the specialist GI Doc there can get the big boys out.

Have been busy with doc calls, doc appts, dealing with insurance to make sure all my ducks are in a row for past couple of days.

Just want to thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers.

I have read back a few pages and wanted to send out some prayers to all who are sick and ailing. I know it’s not easy and life throws out some hefty curve balls sometimes, but there are always trips to Universal to think of and knowing you have friends prayers that mean so much

Mac has truely created a family here on the Sans. She is a great friend to all and my Kneester.

Welcome ckmiles

Agavegirl hope your back is improving for you prayers and hugs

LOL......Lynne......I loved the zombie minion



That was a great laugh and good time at HHN last year.

Schumi have been enjoying your your trip report......it has brought.....a lot of joy seeing your great pics of my favorite happy place Universal......and of course your commentary is fun to read.....presented in a way that is uniquely you


Will take IPAD with me in case as Mac would say ............this turns into a side vacation.

 

[Robo56]

 

[schumigirl]

Glad you`re doing better Robo........good to hear!!

 

[macraven]

Back to your home here


Now I no longer need to use the magic ball to know how you are

You are now planning on another mini vacation in Indy

You’ll get breakfast in bed there, staff that will make your bed each day, and when you are hungry, a fresh IV bag

Safe travels for this mini vacation and know the surgery will be a success

I hope you will still be on target for the May vacation with your grands

 

[Robo56]

sent you an email this morning Mac......

You’ll get breakfast in bed there, staff that will make your bed each day, and when you are hungry, a fresh IV bag

LOL.................and the hospital gown fashion leaves a little to be desired for sure............will be prepared this time with my own comfy gowns....if I can use them.

 

[Robo56]

I hope you will still be on target for the May vacation with your grands

Yep..............Have been looking forward to the vacation with the grandchildren in May.

Morning all!

Robo- glad to hear you're getting better! You even put a Universal spin on your illness- Hulk size stones! Sending well wishes and more prayers your way! Thanks for the minion pictures!

Lynne- Go Flyers!!

Janet- We'll get the Flyers next game!

Schumi- How true about going out and looking less than "put together"! Happened a few times to me- gotta put the makeup on even if I just run into a store for cat food!

Getting ready for freezing rain and ice later today! 19 days until Orlando!!

 

[Charade67]

Welcome back Robo! Glad to see you are on the mend.

I had my gallbladder taken out many years ago, but evidently you can still form stones in the common bile duct in absence of your gallbladder.

Yikes. I did not know this. I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago.

I need to go wake up B. She has a hair appointment in a few hours and should probably have lunch/brunch first. Tonight is prom. I will be so glad when this is over.

 

[pattyw]

Tonight is prom.

How exciting for her!!

I will be so glad when this is over.

How true for you!!

Enjoy! Truly a memorable day!
