Hi Ladies,
How are you all doing? I am hanging in there. Busy,busy,busy. Tomorrow is my last full day in Germany. Hooray!! The girls and I fly out of here Thursday morning. I have been busy packing, cleaning and getting everything in order for Rick so he will be able to clear without a problem.
The girls are very excited to see their grandparents. My in-laws don't have internet service so I am not sure when I will be able to pop in and post a update. We don't get into the base in GA until the end of August. Our household stuff won't be there until the beginning of Sept. if we are lucky.
I had my last appointments with my p/tdocs last week. I had to fight with my Pdoc to give me all the meds I would need to last until I get to Moody AFB. I lost that fight and he only gave me 2 months worth when I need 3. (I am not sure how long it will take me to get in to see a new Pdoc.) I have a refill and he told me that if I needed it refilled I would have to go to the nearest AFB and have them transfer the refill to there and have them fill it. The nearest base where I will be is 90 miles. I know it doesn't seem like a long distance, but it seems ridiculous to me that I would have to go through all of that to get my Seroquel. So, I have told Rick to call in my refill at this base here before he leaves and he can bring me my meds when he gets to SC. I will have enough to last me until then. One way or another I will get my way. ;)
I am anxious and really stressed right now, but I am doing my best to keep it together and do what needs to be done. I am afraid of heights and flying so this 9 hour flight will be difficult. I won't be able to take a Valium because I will be alone with the kids. My Mom said to take one because is isn't like the girls are going anywhere. While I know that is true, I don't want to be spaced out in case they need something. After this 9 hour flight we will be driving 8-9 hours in order to get from Baltimore, MD to Myrtle Beach, SC. I am going to be stiff and hurting from both the RA and FMS. I have my muscle relaxers and pain meds to help with that though. I went and picked up my medical records because they have to be hand carried from here to Moody, and man those things are huge!!! I have 2 full folders full. They are heavy and when you add the girls' records to them they are a pain to carry.
Ok I think that is enough rambling for now. I have to get myself packed. I got the girls done but have been slacking on getting myself done. Even though I won't be here please know that I am thinking of everyone of you. I hope that you all have more good days than bad while I am gone.
(((((((((((((((ALL))))))))))))))))
Love,hugs,and well wishes,

Safe travels and take care of yourself and your family! Remember you can pop into the library and get online any time! We'll be thinking of you and missing you. I am SO happy for you that you are FINALLY getting out of Germany!! YAY!!
Best wishes and good thoughts!
Tracey
(((((((Cyn)))))))))) I wish you and your family safe travels and as painless as possible. When passing "through" Northern VA think of me.........I'll be about 45 minutes from where you're at on that wonderful (hah) beltway;) If you need a rest stop Look for Leesburg exits:) LOL! Seriously though, I wish you and your girls, and dh when he gets cleared out, safe travels and we will miss you as well. As Tracey suggested, local libraries have internet access, so if you get a chance, pop in there and say Hi to us. Take care and we'll talk to you as soon as you are able.
Hugs for now,
Traci
Cyn,
Well, welcome back to the US of A!
Hi Carla!
Thank you for the well wishes. I am excited to be coming back. But, a little upset because I will be without Rick for a month. It shouldn't be a big deal. I have been without him for 6 months at a time. Maybe it is because he won't be there to run interference between me and his family. I love my in-laws don't get me wrong, but they can be too overbearing at times. I know they love me and the girls, and they are really happy to have us with them again but still.
Take good care. (((((Carla)))))

Hi Tracey,
How are you doing hon? I am excited,and I will try to get online and let you all know the plane didn't crash or anything. LOL I am excited and wary at the same time. I haven't been around my in-laws in 2 years. I have liked living so far away. I don't have to worry about family drama. I also didn't have to worry about them dropping in. LOL I know that GA is a fair distance from from SC but I am sure we will get plenty of visits or requests to visit them. In fact Rick and I pissed off his sisters a couple of weeks ago. They wanted all of us to get together at his parents for their new house for their first Christmas in it. Rick told them flat out that he won't be home for Christmas. He is deploying a couple of months after we arrive in GA. She said that me and the girls should come then. He proceeded to tell her that I am spending Christmas with my dad and step-mom.
That pissed her off because she expected us to fall in line and do what they want. I just laughed. They think because Rick is the baby in the family that he will do what they want. Little do they know this man has a back bone of steel and rarely bends when he makes up his mind. LOL
Ok enough rambling. I still have a few more posts to reply to. I have to get some sort of organization in this house before I call it a night.
Take good care. (((((Tracey)))))
Hugs,
I hope that you take extra good care.

Hi Traci,
Thank you for the well wishes. I am sure the trip will go smoothly. I just know I am going to be completely worn out after it is all said and done. It will feel like we have been traveling for 2 days instead of one.
I hope that you have more good days then bad. You need a good break. Take extra good care. (((((Traci)))))
Hugs,
Hi Marci!
How are you doing? You would think the military would have it down to a science, but trust me they mess up a lot. LOL I am hoping that this trip back goes smoothly. I am not looking forward to the long 8-9 hour drive that will follow the 9 hour plane ride. :( I will be sleeping like the dead when we finally get to SC. I will be sure to pop into a library and give a quick update.
I have had this Pdoc for a year, and trust me we have had our differences of opinions. :) We are both strong willed. ;) I can't make a appointment to see a new Pdoc in SC. I have to be enrolled in Tricare South before I can be seen by any civilian provider. Right now I am enrolled in Tricare Europe. I can't change it until we get to the next base. If I need treatment I am to go to the nearest ER. That is the only way Tricare will pay the medical bills. Sucks but hey what can you do?
Take extra good care. (((((Marci)))))
