I'm about to hit rock bottom, but the only way out is up. I gotta remember that.

[Karen]

We love you no matter what, remember that! Then give Mikey a belly-rub - that'll give you a smile!

Thanks Karen, I'm trying to improve the situation. Just seems hopeless sometimes.

[Karen]

Aww, whenever it seems hopeless, PM me, and I promise to lend you some!

PTers, can someone please tell me what a "Trunk or Treat" is? A local church is having one tomorrow from 2 to 4. My neighbor mentioned it to me because they need more participants. I have no idea what it is (I assume it's something to do with Halloween though).


Thanks,
Elyse

"A Trunk or Treat is a Halloween event that is often church- or community-sponsored. People gather and park their cars in a large parking lot. They open their trunks, or the backs of their vehicles, and decorate them. Then they pass out candy from their trunks. The event provides a safe family environment for trick or treaters."

It is apparently a big thing! I had never heard of it either - probably popular in places that have bigger church parking lots than we do!

Random...I don't usually toot my own horn, but I am an excellent cook. Tonight DH's grandma is coming over so I've got Coq au Vin on the stove and the entire house smells marvelous. I can't wait to eat it.

I had my quarterly lab work done last week. My A1C is great (5.1, yay) but my liver enzymes are through the roof.
They should be between 2-46 and are 877. More blood tests are in the works for tomorrow. I haven't said anything on FB b/c only a couple of people there know about the test results.
I'm anxious.

[Karen]

You'll be in our prayers. Hopefully it is an anomalous result, and the other tests all come out closer to normal!

Thanks, Karen. I've been trying very hard not to go into panic mode.
I talked to my neurologist (I had an appointment with him Thursday night) and he said the # IS high but he has seen that # MUCH higher (over 11,000 was his example) so while it is good to be cautious and find the cause, by no means should I go into panic mode.

I discussed it with him b/c of the medication he has me on - and because he & my endocrinologist talk about my treatment so they can talk about any results. (Yes they have my permission to discuss my care, I prefer they communicate together lol... it's awesome that they do! It's great too that they're on such good terms - their children are married and they share a grandchild.)

Agree agree agree, hoping it's an error finding.

I got my newest lab results back - One # is back to the "perfect" range and the other is just slightly elevated. Sooo... who knows what was going on last week! Either way, thank goodness!

I told someone I'd get up at 7am to edit a paper. She was so thrilled! Then I remembered that I work an 11 hour shift tomorrow. I'm gonna be pooped!
