Nicole's Hospital Stay

My daughter has been in the hospital since Friday, she had her gallbladder out yesterday and will go home tomorrow morning. I am unpopular here since I ask questions and want to know why they change things why they give different medicines, etc. Take control of your health and that of your loved one don't just take someones word for something just because they have a nametag. Doctors and nurses are not all knowing and sometimes mistakes are made. I have the utmost respect for health care workers being one myself in a former life but I am still going to ask why and YES infections are spread in the hospital a lot. Ask questions remember you are the boss and you are paying the bills so take charge and even if you happen to tick someone off know your rights and responsibilities and keep yourself and your loved ones safe and healthy. SO don't worry if you are not the most popular mom, spouse, sister, brother, dad, or daughter at the hospital or doctors office, ask.

Thoughts on getting in shape

It is time again for Mamavation to pick new moms and I am seriously thinking about taking the fat in my hands and loosing weight and trying to get into shape. With John having diabetes we HAVE to get healthy and I am just so tired of being tired and looking like an oompaloompa. I will put in the application and do the video then I will need all of my friends and family to help me by letting them know that I am not alone and that I have the backing of family and friends in one of the most important endeavors of my life. Anyone with hints, helps, advice, cautions, or just a kind word let me know. My twitter handle is @msmary1962 and my facebook is http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1603261716 so let me know what you think.
