Flumes' Journal Part Deux - No Lookin Back

Hey Flumsey, it's great to have you back popping into my diary. I wish you and your family a much better new year than last year turned out to be. Looking forward to the fun you bring to our diaries. xx
 
Hey Flumes! Stopping in to wish you a belated merry Christmas and a happy new year! Hope to see you around the boards soon - we miss you!

I really hope you are feeling better. I don't know what was causing your pain (hopefully it's gone now) but if it hasn't - don't wait too long to get it checked out.

Enjoy your day my friend!
 
I know you're around because I've seen your little button turn green while I was reading other posts a couple of times - so that reassures me that you haven't completely forgotten about us here. Hopefully soon you'll have time to start posting again because we miss hearing from you. You always make me laugh...

Hope your new year is starting out great!
 
*is following Tigs around bullying everyone to come back and DIET WITH USSSS!*


Seriously though, miss your face. Let us know you're okay.

Hi peeps.

Thanks for the thoughts. I have been popping in and out but I haven't had the gumption to post. I make sure you guys are doin ok ;). This is the first I've checked on my thread in a while so apologies to those who posted for not getting back on here. (But I do smile when I see my buds still keeping up on their threads!)

I have something goin on in my stomach now for over 4 weeks....and tomorrow have to make another appointment. Canadian healthcare system is great unless you live in a Northern community where there's a shortage of doctors. My doctor is just back from a month off....and the alternative was waiting at the clinic for 8 hours to see someone who doesnt have a clue....only to send you home with some aspirin and hope it goes away.

Anyways, I have had a gnawwing/pain in my stomach for a while. Pepto bismol has been a friend and the acid blockers the doctor gave me only slightly made a difference. I either have h. pylori or an ulcer. (I don't want to think of anything worse right now. Unfortunately, the gnawwing is like hunger pangs, and its caused me to eat more often each day. (I try to keep it healthy and low cal but its difficult cause I just want to throw something in the hole to make it feel better.

Also, because I am eating more (I think), I have been getting terrible heartburn that keeps me awake 3-5 nites of the week. Brutal.

Stress level is at an alltime high. Having a hell of a time dealing with the recent losses while dealing with an estate that has been funding the retirement some of the best lawyers in Toronto and probably will be for the next couple of years :/ . And last nite, I got a call from the home where my mom lives and got news they are sending her to the hospital as she is not feeling well either. Hopefully shes released soon and all better.

Oh...did I mention the 7 yr old put a hockey stick thru the television....the three month old Plasma???!!!???. Probably not.

It just seems like I have been putting out one fire after another. One thing pops up, then another and another....

Im blabbering again lol.

So there ya have it....the Flumes Excuses for 2011 for not being around lol.

But again....I do peek on here now and then to see the old < just a relative term there Sunny > faces and smile at the threads.

I'll still pop in now and again...so hope you guys hang tight.

Big hugs

Anthony
 
Hey my darling,

You're having a shit time of it right now, huh? Your 7 year old will be using her pocket money til she's 30 to pay off that plasma!! ;) Keeping my fingers crossed for you about your tummy, your family has been through enough shit recently, I hope things look brighter for you soon.

Take care and HUGE hugs,

Sunny xxxxxxxxx
 
Hi Flumsey, sorry that you are having such a crap time a the moment. It's great to hear from you and we really miss your posts. I hope that the stomach problem is just caused by stress and nothing more sinister.
Sending you lots of good wishes for this year and hope that things start to look up for you very soon.
Try to pop in and post occasionally as we worry about you when we don't hear anything. xx
 
Flumes honey, it's so great to hear from you!!! Missed you bunches!

Sorry things aren't going so great, but we understand if you don't feel like posting much. We know you haven't forgotten us.

Please know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Hope things improve and you get to feeling better very soon.

Take care my friend!
 
Right we do... Even though you probably don't know who I am, you put alot of liveliness on some of the journals I read, and I got to thinking today.. where did that guy go?
 
Hiya kids :)

I'm still lurking....just not as often.

My mind is frazzled. No idea how to get out of this slump other than visiting some professional melon checker.

Health wise, I am on a new acid-blocker which seems to be working. No more constant stomach ache. And hopefully no damage or start of an ulcer.

Family is great...kids are super and my wife is putting up with my moods. lol (Back at her lol) Overall everything is ok. (Cept for my mom...shes starting to get dimentia and its saddening to see).

Me...I'm just worrying about stuff I have really no control over and basically waiting for everything to fall into place. (Which will take a couple years probably).

My weight is creeping.....208 yesterday. Fuuuuck. I'm trying but obviously not hard enough. Oh well.....

I had the pleasure of catching up on a few threads and it was great to smile. It looks as tho everyone is doing fine and just wanted to say thanks for thinkin bout me.

Like I said...I'm here. No worries!

K....off to read some more posts. Take care buds!
 
Thanks for checking in Flumsey and glad that the stomach thing didn't turn out to be anything serious. Sorry to hear that you're still feeling stressed and hope that you feel better soon and that you will come and visit us more often xxx
 
Thanks Eycky. I don't think I can be here as prominently as I was before at this time, but I certainly enjoy it just as much.
Nice to see ya again btw :)


So yesterday was a good morning. Oatmeal with my usual berries and milk.
Then lunch was a soup I made with left over grouse and some whole wheat noodles. Pretty yummy. Had lotsa water thru out the day and it looked like I was right on track.....till I got home. honey didn't have a clue what to make for supper so she ordered out...pizza and wings. And I was starving so I put a good dent in the box. Oh well....

Today was an ok start....no oatmeal but I made an ham and egg omelet with no toast or butter or cheese etc. Lunch will be some more leftover soup and I was just told supper will be steak and veggies. <lotsa veggies>

If I'm lucky, there might even be desert....<wink> <wink>.


Hope you all have a great day.

Here in Canada, we have "Family Day" tomorrow so its a holiday (And my day off). Hopin to go to the cottage and let the kids race around with the snowmachines on the ice while wife and I hopefully catch some fish.

Take care!
