Hey there hon, I am sorry I have not been in here like I should but I wanted to see how you were doing. I have been thinking about you and while I have gotten to at least look at a few messages in the last few weeks or so I hadn't really had a chance to respond yet. I have had so much going on myself with my stones and other health issues.

Hope to hear from ya soon....

Terry!

How are you? And how is the Hubby? I hope a lot of his recovery hurdles are far behind him. Scary what happened. I am still hanging in there and awaiting diagnosis on my pain. At last count they checked for ulcers - all clear. Took some biopsies of the stomach - all clear. Now they want to do a gallbladder function and see if that can be removed. That test is next Thursday. I may be going overseas after Thanksgiving and then will go again end of December so may have to wait until Janaury to fix anything. They also want me to go for another renal function test (Yay) in January. I have been on and off the boards as I take 1/2 of the CPA exam on MONDAY and I have been cramming.

Glad to hear from you and I will write more promise, just as soon as Monday is out of the way.

Good luck on that exam on Monday!!

I will be thinking of you...The hubby is doing good, he actually just had his 2nd surgery on his arm in September. We also moved into a new home at the beginning of September. We are so excited, first home we have ever owned.....

I am sorry they are still trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I figured out after all the poking and prodding they did on you they would be able to finally tell you what was going on..I will definitely be thinking and praying for you to find an answer soon.

As for me in addition to my kidney stones I also am having heart issues now so that is just something else to deal with.

Hope to hear from you again soon...Good luck again on that test!!!!!!!!

So Terry what kind of heart issues are you having. You are a bit young for that aren't you?

My gallbladder results were normal so they are trying me on a new med for 2 weeks to see if it helps the pain. If it does they will do more tests to pinpoint it but the reaction to these meds should give them yet another starting point. The new meds are Tiffany blue.....so I am holding on to hope. My first trip overseas has alas been postpones. I was supposed to go teach a fraud class in Dubai but the middle man was hesitant and eventually decided not to go ahead with the project. I think they got scared when they figured out the price ...... but if I am going to fly 15 hours for a 15 hour class, my time is money. It may be a good thing as Dubai is full of gold and diamonds and left there on my own for several days could have been fatal to the savings account........but it would be an investment....yeah that's it!

I hope you are enjoying settling into the new home and discovering all the nooks and crannies. What type of house is it? (I love architecture so am always curious.)

Hope your weekend is going well.
