First I would like to give a big huge hug and Mahalo to RJ and Gabby for answering my last post. Second I would like to do the same for all those who sent me your positive thoughts through esp. after reading my last post.

When William went back to work after the doctor's appointment on Thrusday I almost just sat here and cried but instead I wrote that post. That helped me 100% just to get it all out. Writing is good it is better than laying around here playing the victim game. Okay on the positive side the doctor changed my antibiotic from 500mg of Levaquin to a stronger antibiotic called Gatifloxacin and it seems to help the chest pain and sore throat... hip hip hoorah!!! But the lympth nodes in my neck are still congested/inflamed so I still can not hear out of my left ear. I put the diswasher on this morning and it lit up like it was on but I could not hear it so I called for William and told him the dishwasher was broken because it was not turning on. He asked if I was okay because the dishwasher was on. Instead of answering him I ran up stairs took some prozac and slept for an hour or so which helped me mentally and physically. I was in a much better mood when I got up. Now I am okay because I am not in any more pain. Pain seems to bring out the wife from hell in me for some reason? How are you girls when dealing with pain?

Okay ya want to know how the party turned out at dear ole MIL house yesturday? I felt horible but I stayed and MIL wasn't mean at all. Surprise Surprise! But then I guess I would be nice to if some one bought me a car.... Why is that people are so nice to ya if ya spend lots of money on them. Isn't that the pits! Any how she was okay and what ever the reason was I was thankful for it. It was a good day better then what I expected... I got sicker as the day went on and my serious drugs wore off so we had the barbeque early and William and I went home early leaving his poor sister to fend for herself ha ha ha....

I came home and slept for a while. By the time I got up my serious drugs started to kick in again and I felt a heck of a lot better. So we went to the make shift memorial people set up in the park for the guys who have died in this war. We lit the candles, bag pipes played, this old guy played taps on his horn I cried, and we sang America the beautiful as the sun set. I took pictures for ya RJ if you want to see them email me. Every cross has the picture of the person who died so if any of you girls know some one who died and would like me to get a picture for the family let me know. There was over 200 crosses which blew me away! I did not know that is how many people have died in this war so far. I don't know how many of you girls got RJ's email asking to send or write the people who are still over there. But if ya want to send them an email then email her. I wrote one so I hope they got it... Hey RJ did you send them the email I wrote?

After the little ceremony in the park we were going to go to the stadium to watch the fireworks but I pooped out so we went home and watch NY and Boston and Washington D.C. Celebrate America's birthday on tv. I thought Washington D.C. and N.Y. had the best fireworks I have ever seen. There was this tripy firework that looked like a million fire flies floating around in the sky when it burst in the air. All in all it was a nice July 4th.. I hope you girls enjoyed your day also...???

Okay just wanted to let you girls know that I am mentally up and I believe this deafness can not last forever! So I am cool now and just enjoying this weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend too... Mahalo to all you girls who sent me positive thoughts through what ever medium you had at your disposal at the time you read that post. Your positive vibes is the reason why I am so mentally up when I shouldn't be right now. So mahalo mahalo mahalo....

Now I better go check out what William is up to because he is being way to quite in the dinning room... ha ha ha....

Happy Birthday America!

Aloha,

Leilani

p.s. Wow I wrote this post without even cussing!!! Now that has to be a first ha ha ha! I am changing my ways and not going to write like I how I think any more... famous last words ha? No I am really going to try to curb my tone in my post. yeah right! ha ha ha...

Aloha,

Lei

Lei, this post was much more easier to read and

definitely pleasant without the "words" as you

said, lol. Don't you feel so much better now?

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the past few

days as much as you could. Me, when I am

in pain or something, I just go to sleep, as

a nap cures most things for me, lol.

I hope your hearing comes back soon!

Let us know how the rest of your weekend goes.

((((((((Hugs)))))))

love,

Cindy

Lei, hope you're feeling much better by now, glad the party went well. I know what you mean about writing, it seems to help to get it all down in print. Sort of cathartic, cleanses the soul!

Glad your vocab is cleaning up too! You're too smart a lady to resort to swearing to get your point across!! Way to go girl!

Hugs, Pam

P.S. So what was William up to in the dining room????

Well, Leilani, I missed your first post. I'll have to go down and try to find it. But it sounds in this one as if you're feeling a lot better than you were in the previous one. I'm glad about that. Doesn't it make a difference when you're feeling better?!!

Sounds like you had a pretty nice 4th all told. Mine was quiet because I was on call for the lab and had to stay home in case they called. I thought they would since the 4th is usually a really busy time at the hospital. No calls though, so then I was wishing that I'd gone ahead down to the beach to watch the fireworks. Oh well.

I hope the antibiotics clear up whatever is going on there. Take care of yourself.
