Tales from Bloggeritaville: No Pain, No Gain.

No Pain, No Gain.

Today I spent the day both at the hospital and on my back. I had to be at the Hospital EARLY for pretesting for my scheduled endomentrial ablation (www.novasure.com) which is scheduled for next Tuesday. Not looking forward to it, but then again I am. The whole "being put to sleep" thing makes me uncomfortable (yes, I have had surgery before but still doen't help), as does the IV because for some reason they have a hard time getting a vein. I am looking forward to not having a monthly cycle (ok more than some wanted to know, but considered yourself educated). It has become so dreadful and painful. Today was all the "guinea pig testing" to see that I was normal "enough". My back spasimed this morning before I left, leaving me pretty much useless for the rest of the day. Nursing it now. Thank goodness I had to go to the hospital today, where my doc gave me some relief for it. Additionally, my calves are really letting me know they didn't appreciate the hike UP the mountain the other day (only me and Big Daddy did that one. His calves are talking to him too). I am paying for it now. Oh well.
No pain, no gain, right (on all subjects)?
Ug! Gonna go back to the couch......

Anonymous said...: Everybody hates hospitals! You know, when I had my surgery, I was most concerned about being put to sleep----had never been put under before. My anesthesiologist gave me an i.v. while I was in my room----I totally missed the o.r. and recovery!! I woke up and I was still there in my room!! So, don't worry about it.

Words of Wisdom

"Older and wiser voices can always help you find the right path, if you are only willing to listen."-Jimmy Buffett

Sea Joy
When I go down by the sandy shore,I can think of nothing I want moreThan to live by the booming blue seaAs the seagulls flutter round about me.
I can run around when the tide is outWith the wind and the sand and the sea all about,And the seagulls are swirling and diving for fish.Oh, to live by the sea is my only wish.
- Jacqueline Bouvier

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream." --- Mark Twain

The cure for anything is salt water---sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.Philippians 4:12,13 NIV

Live a good life and in the end it's not the years in the life, it's the life in the years.~ Abe Lincoln

Let your boat of life be light Packed with only what you need --A homely home and simple pleasures,One or two friends, worth the name,Someone to love and someone to love you,A cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,Enough to eat and enough to wear,And a little more than enough to drink...For thirst is a dangerous thing.
-- Jerome K Jeromefrom "Three Men in a Boat"

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
~Eleanor Roosevelt

"We can make our plans,But the LORD determinesour steps" Proverbs 16:9

"Let us not forget what is best remembered or may we not remember what is best forgotten."

"Fish and overnight guest stink after three days."
~plaque at Fish Camp Restaurant, Orange Beach, Alabama

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human being experience."

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today just the way you are."
Proverbs 27:17

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have. The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Live simply. Love generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God.

Worry is a robber of time and energy. Take comfort within that God's power is what we truly need. He knows our needs before we can even ask for them.

If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry. Faith is the ability to not panic.

Don't "find" a religion. "Find" your relationship with God.
~Bill Burgess

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great."-Mark Twain
