Doctors!

Doctors.
I just felt like complaining about all the doctors I have to see this month. We have been on Cobra insurance the past 3 months because of Adams new job and I didnt really feel like going to the doctor while I was on it. I really dont know why but whatever. Well, now it is Feb. and we have our new insurance so I made some must needed appointments.
Thursday, I have a dentist appointment. I am so nervous to go. I used to LOVE going to the dentist because I never seemed to have any problems and everyone would gloat saying I had the most beautiful smile and eww and ahhh over my double tooth :). Well, my last experience was negative...I didnt like the people at all and they didnt seem to know what they were doing. They said ohh some of your gums are receeding in the back but dont worry about it. (That doesnt sound right). Well, so I didnt go back for awhile because I didnt want to go back to them and was discouraged trying to find someone new. So finally I sucked it up and found somone. So yes instead of 6 months its been more like 10 months since ive been. But now I just get to hear how my gums are bad and Ill probaly lose all my teeth. Haha, maybe im exaggerating but whatever. :).
Now, on the 11th I have to go the ObGyn for my yearly appt. SO EXCITED. I mean havent I seen her enough over the past year hah. And not to mention the fact everytime I have scheduled this appt. since then, I always gets cancelled because she has to go deliver a baby. I guess I should be thankful that one day far away when im pregnant she'll cancel clinic to come deliver mine. Still not looking forward to this appt.
Then, finally after a year and a half of living in Nashville I also still never got a PCP. Thanks to some great doctors I work with I finally scheduled with someone whom they all really like for the 16th. Plus I got strings pulled bc she wasnt accepting new pts but because I worked for her friend I get lucky. Well, I am dreading this. I guess with some medical groups they schedule you a meet the phycian appt. I really dont know what this is going to consist off but im pretty sure she going to tell me im very unhealthy and fat and I need to lose a 100 lbs. But my mom tells me thats what doctors are for.
I was going to add and eye appt to this but Dr. Loden the only doctor I have been going to doesnt except my insurance. So not sure what to do because I have the special eye surgery and want to make sure they know what to look for if there were ever problems.
Sheesh. Ive had enough with doctors after my 2009 multiple problems.
Glad I complained...wish me luck this month.
Now, I just need to get Adam and new PCP and new dentist. His old dentist is not covered on our new insurance. So I guess if I like mine he can just go there. And as for a PCP he never gets sick but one day he may so it would be nice to have someone to take him to.

Winter 2010

YEA! for SNOW!

Adam and I are so thrilled that we finally got some good snow. Its not fluffy though because of all the ice mixed in. So you kind of just step and then fall in. We have had fun watching Izzie though. At first on Friday the snow was softer so she was hopping around like a bunny but now she stays on top and slides around. We took advantage of taking pictures though because who knows when well see this much again.

Friday I thankfully left work an hour and half early in the morning so I wouldnt get in to much trouble on the roads. It was messy but not to severe at the time. But by noon it was crazy out there. Adam got home late for work due to the weather but at least he got to come home. We just stayed in that night and watched TV and played games. We found one place who was delivering pizza still and ordered. Jets pizza is only a few miles up the road so didnt feel to bad. :)

Saturday, we went outside some but it was just sooooo cold to stay out to long. We had our neighbors Katy and Buster come over and hang out. Adam cooked Chili for dinner. Then Katy and I watched Miss America and they played games. It was a fun night. The people who lived behind us are very rude though. They have a dirt bike and they were riding it in the empty lot next to them since the streets were ice. Well, for some reason they thought they could ride in our lot too. Made us so mad but we never said anything because I hate stirring up trouble.

Today, churches were cancelled. We decided to walk to the entrance of the neighborhood and take pics. McrCrory has seen better days. You couldnt even see the road. Makes since that we have only seen SUV's leaving the neighborhood. Even though we saw a van fishtailing as it was making its way up the hill to leave. It didnt make it.

I think we are going to get back out and play a little more this afternoon since the sun is making it atleast feel a little warmer out there.

Adams parents bought us a space heater for our house and have been so thankful for it these past few days. With our vaulted ceilings the heat rises up and leaves us still cold so the space heater is nice to sit beside you and warm you up. Hopefully, it will make our gas bill look a lot better.

We havent been up to, to much else. Today is Adam and I's 1 year and 6 month anniversary haha! And tommorrow is Izzie birthday. I wasnt able to get her a present yet since we are stuck in the snow. so sad.. but she turns 3.

Here are some pictures:

This is McCrory Ln. above. Its the road we have to get on to go to the interstate.
Our deep foot steps on the road.


OUR HOME!

Does anyone know an easier way to put pictures on here. They always take a lot of work for me to work in...

Lately...

Hi!
I havent posted in awhile. Sometimes it hard to figure out what to say.
We had a lovely Christmas. It was great to see all of our families and spend time with them. Sad though because I have seen Charles almost every month for the past 4-5 months and now it will be 4 months before we see him :(. Sadness.
Over New Years Adam and I took a trip to Gatlinburg. It was nice to get away for a mini vacation. We did a little shopping and got to eat at my favorite restaurant Johnny Carinos :). Adam was also sweet because as my family knows we used to stop in Gatlinburg EVERY year on our way to SC for Thanksgiving. And every year I wanted to go eat at the Mr. Ghattis there. Its a really big one and I love chocolate pizza haha. So Adam let me go there FINALLY! haha
Adams Pa has had a hard time. He is in a nursing home after a fall and is now having prostate problems. Please pray for his recovery.
Adam and I have been doing well. We have finally started turning our house into more of a home. We added a rug in the living room and curtains in the bedroom. We also made a list of numerous things we would like for the house haha. Its ridiculous. But we will just do a little at a time.
Adam andI have also enjoyed playing our Wii. We spend many evenings playing Super Mario Brothers. Its quite entertaining. We have also enjoyed the Wii Fit. Even though it makes fun of us.
This week we have been playing a game mom and dad got us for Christmas. Its a new version of the game LIFE. We have enjoyed it.
Our weekends have been very busy latley between vacation, Adams cousins wedding, Matthews birthday, and so forth; it seems like we just keep going on and on. Izzie even got a play date last weekend to meet my friend Sarahs boxer puppy. It was quite entertaining to see them react to eachother.
Mabye this weekend we will just hang out here. Im wanting to organize our office because it is such a mess. Adam is thinking about going back to school either in the summer or fall so I would like to get that area ready for him. He is thinking possibly another go at nursing school :).
Not to much going on over here. I have been freezing in our house lately so I think im going to go buy a mini heating blanket today. Darn vaulted ceilings.

Happy New Years Eve.

Hope Everyone Has A Happy New Year! Be Safe!

Blessing!!

We just found out a few hours ago that Adam was offered a job at Vanderbilt. It is contingent among his back ground check, but unless he has some skeletons in the closet then I think we will be okay. We are so blessed that it happened this fast. We have had a lot of good news this week and it is very welcomed.

We also had a good time this past weekend in Memphis celebrating Charles' 3rd birthday. He had a small party on Saturday and Nicole made a magnificent cake. Ill post some pictures at the end. It was nice my parents were able to be down at the same time. Its nice to be with family.

I am getting stonger each day which is good. I still have some work to go with building up strength and energy when walking around. Im also having a little trouble sleeping. Then on top of things I think im getting a cold. But in the grand scheme of things we have been truly blessed this week.

Thanks

Thanks for everyone who has kept us in your prayers and the get wells that I have received. Im post op day 2.
I have made it through the surgery okay. It started out a little rocky, I had to stay in the post anesthesia area longer due to pain management and that fact I couldnt urinate. So I dont think I ended up leaving the hospital until around 7pm. That night before bed, I thought the recovery was going to be pretty easy because it seemed like all that hurt was the incision. Well, I woke up Saturday and it felt like my body had been through the iron man competition. I was extremely sore everywhere and was hurting though all my incisions. Adam took great care of me though. Last night, I slept with a heating pad behind my neck and shoulders the whole time and this morning they are not as sore thank goodness. I was kind of hoping the gas pains from where they inflate your stomach during surgery to see better wouldnt show up, but they seem to have started this afternoon. I think im doing a little better though. Im going about 5 hours btw pain medication. I still cant walk around or get up very easily by myself though. Its frustrating. But its only day 2!
I am greatly looking forward to next weekend though. We are planning on going to Memphis for Charles's 3rd birthday. I love visiting them. It will give me something to focus in on.
Adam has been searching for a lot of jobs of the weekend. His boss did call him on Friday wanting to set up an interview with a position in Nashville for a diffrent company. He didnt get the call until that night bc the hospital didnt have reception on our phones. But its kind of weird bc the company she is talking about told Adam before hand they were looking for someone with CT experience. But mabye she has talked with them in at least interviewing him. Either way..please pray he will find something soon. He is such a hard worker anyone would be so lucky to have him. Hes applied to other various places too so hopefully well hear something.
Kelly, my sister in law, is coming up to help out with me tomorrow while he is at work. That was nice of her, I think shes bringing us some pumpkins from Adams parents garden. We need something festive around haha.
Well, im going to go rest!!

Prayers

We need prayers. We have a lot going on right now.
I am having my surgery tommorrow. From what I hear its not to easy of a recovery. Wish me luck.
Adam found out yesterday the doctor he works for has to go on hospice due to his cancer spreading. That unfortunatly means Adam loses his job. Please pray for us and if you know of anyone who needs an xray tech please pass it on, or any other job for that matter.
Also, please pray for his doctor too, Dr. Peters, its very sad and unexpected.
Thanks.
