Lacey- I am hoping for the best for you and Mr. L today. Hopefully all goes well and you can bring him home.
skbs- Oh your poor baby. I hope the medicine helps her.
MBW- Your dinner sounds great. What kind of lamb did you buy. I have never bought lamb so I am clueless.
cyn- Have fun at your hair appointment. Doing anything wild, lol?
Hot dogs for my DH tonight and Chicken with onions and peppers for me with extra veggies.
Ha Lisa--maybe get it shaved!! I have never in my life had the electricity in my hair that I get here. It stands straight out. Looks like I need a broom and I'd be on my happy way! Seriously though, it is getting really bad and I am just hoping that come summer the humidity will help me out here! Even the girl that does my hair is having trouble helping me. My hair is baby fine and I look like I stuck my finger in a light socket!!
Hey all we are home and I feel like a full day has passed already.
MWBW-sounds like a wonderful evening ahead.
Cyn be safe on the roads.

Hi, all. Add another GERD sufferer here. Nexium works best for me, but I have to fight for it w/the insurance co. every time I get a refill, so I now take the generic version of Prilosec.
VP, we did the same thing and spent ridiculous amounts of $$ on one of those beds. Here's the trick: not only raise the head, but the knees as well. That way, you're not falling off the end. I hate the thing, tho. I wish I had our old posturepedic back. I slept on that thing like a baby.
I took out a Cornish Hen for DH for dinner. I'll have a Chicken Kiev.
Thanks all of you for your kind words and heart felt feelings. It was just the support that I needed. I left work a little early yesterday and went to the vet's office. I brought all 7 medications and asked him to pass them on to someone that needs them. He gave me a big hug and said, "3 years Jessie, he made it 3 years" He's right. Ben shouldn't have made it 6 months. I think it was what I needed. The vet and the techs have been so caring with Ben. One of the techs even made him a cake for his 3rd birthday. I felt much better. I guess I needed that closure.
Sooooo my foodie friends, DINNER. I got a family pack of chicken thighs for .67 cents a pound. Not sure what I'm going to do with them tonight but chicken thighs it is. The rest will go in the freezer.
I love chicken thighs shaken in a paper grocery bag with seasoned flour and baked at 375 until crispy. Can also pump up the broiler for a few minutes at the end to get that crisp.

Hehe.. I forgot to say I put the floured chicken on a cookie cooling rack, then I put the rack on a cookie sheet. This keeps it out of its own grease and lets hot air cook the bottom of the chicken.
To be honest, sometimes I do serve this with flour tortillas and salsa in honor of west coast fast food chain El Pollo Loco! You pull the chicken apart and make your own soft taco.
However, I USUALLY just serve this more traditionally with a side dish of rice and a green veg.
By the way, you just made me send a note to DH to remind me to remove chicken thighs from the freezer for tomorrow's dinner!
What a funny thread and something we all have in common.
NMS mine is Prevacid and I too have to fight like heck to get it. My insurance copays changed this year and I was paying 38.00 a month for it and now it is 55.00. I don't know why we have to fight for our meds. They advertise them like crazy and then you can get a couple months then oooops gone.
Last year I had to fight for my protonix and ended up going 6 weeks without it before they approved it..in that time my reflux was out of control my hiatial hernia which I didn't know I had was out of control and I ended up with gastritis and two hospital trips with a lot of erosion in my throat because of that so now I have to go to an ENT every three months. I too had to be scoped and esophogus stretched as I always felt as if something was lodged in my throat.
You would think that the insurance companies would just give an ok for the drugs. Things like I had because of lack of cost the insurance company more money.
Oooops I digress.............Dinner????? No clue yet. LOL
