Well...we've been hit with a bunch of ice this morning so I'm going nowhere. I lost interest in writing that story last week....maybe I'll get inspired today. How about you?

With #2 kid being sick, church is no longer an option. It is snowing now and I may write, we'll see. I do have laundry to do and a football game to watch. lol

Yeah....I'll be watching the game, too. We'll see about the writing. Not feeling it yet. lol

I will be watching both....huge football fan.

I confess I'll watch both. lol. . .I like sports, but I have to watch them from beginning to end; I can not enjoy them if I have to sit down after they have already gotten into the first quarter, half, inning, or whatever it is by what sport I am watching.

The sports I do watch, I can pick up from any point in the match-up. Hockey, NASCAR, and any level of football are my favs.

I like NASCAR, football, and basketball. I've not watched a lot of Hockey and I can even watch golf if it is Tiger Woods. lol. . . and the weather is nice. Dismal gray and golf just don't belong together. Tennis . . .eh.

I like to play tennis.....granted its not pretty....but I can hold my own. Love volleyball and street hockey, too. Swimming or anything in the water is by far my favorite exercise, though.

Ohhh I do love swimming. I want to get back to the Y. We helped my sister financially this past month, so our plans to rejoin the Y were stalled. She now found a job and starts next week, so hopefully we can work the Y back into the budget. I am actually looking forward to slipping into my bathing suit, just to see the difference.

Yeah...it wil be a great change. Good luck with the finances....I'm not there yet. lol

It has been a tough road. We borrowed from his 401K, got debt free, then got slammed with the cost of having the cyst removed back in Sept. took out a 1600.00 loan to cover that so we didn't have the medical bills from different docs all over us.

Then we thought okay, we'll start saving some back for some land we are looking at, then sis lost her job. There is a light there at the end of the tunnel, it just keeps trying to close the tunnel door and we keep prying that puppy back open. lol.

So far the most we've had to pay for the GBS is $150.00 for the pshyc. eval., and 2 - $20.00 copays, 1 - 30.00 copay. (I am waiting to see how much the anastegeologist (spelling) will want. The insurance company refused to pay all they were asking, because they claim it was too much. Being a redhead I take more anestetic (spelling) than most folks... but you probably figured that, you being my twin and all. )

Are you serious? I had no idea about the redhead/anesthesia thing....do tell.
Glad y'all are getting things together for that land....now, if it were just closer to here.

I learned early that I needed more than others. It seems the doctor performing my c-section talked about me having a cyst on my ovary, which they removed during the c-section.

She came into my recovery room and said... "Oh we removed a cyst from your ovary."

I said, "I know. I heard you mention it."

Her eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped. This was the first time she had seen me since I came out of surgery. So she believes I started to wake up enough that I heard the conversation. Which I guess I did, because I proceeded to tell her how she said it was the size of a softball.

If you google: Redhead Anesthesia

You'll find a ton of sites. Wikepedia even has info on it:

Researchers have found that redheads require greater amounts of anesthesia, but other research shows that women with naturally red hair require less of the painkiller pentazocine than do either women of other hair colors or men of any hair color. A study conducted by Jeffrey Mogil and colleagues showed red-headed women had a greater analgesic response to that particular pain medication than men.[17] A follow-up study by the same group showed that redheaded men and women (and mutant "redhead" mice) had a greater analgesic response to morphine-6-glucuronide.[14]

We need about 20% more than others. My second child is a redhead and she required more anesthesia when she was just having a biopsy done on the skin near her belly button. The sample was only the size of a pencil top eraser, but she had to have two shots of the anesthesia to become numb.

I did not know that.....lol Thanks! Might be a handy piece of information to have in the near future. The painkiller thing makes sense to me, though.

It may come in handy. I don't believe my Ob-gyn was real thrilled to have me remember what she was saying in surgery. lol. She's a great doctor though. She delivered my third baby and has been my ob-gyn for 12 years. She's tiny too, not only thin, but I don't think she's even close to 5 foot. lol

I just read one of the articles....its amazing how much it explains that I didn't even know needed explaining until you mentioned it five minutes ago. lol

That's a bit depressing....good thing I plan on being here in 2060....I'll be worth something if we're almost extinct.
