BOnnie: glad the swelling is down but I understand how you will miss the grandchildren. I expect a LOT of trips to Toronto when DD has kids. As is, I often try to see the kids in my life when things are quiet, and I loved Easter with them all. DH and I are making plans about some of the grand-nephews and nieces for time at the cottage this summer. He can't wait to do things with our 12 year old grandnephew. There is a lot to love about this man.
Well, my weight was up and down this week, but am the same now as last week, true to ticker. WOuld like to get lower. A little jealous of trish, but I must do the work to get it down.
I cooked up a storm last night. Chief complaint is that DH doesn't cook supper for me, or cook appropriate stuff. So I made a low carb meatloaf, some chicken korma, and another chicken dish for us this week. We just need to do veggies or salad to go with it. The plan is for me to tell him what to reheat and what veggies we should have, and he says he will hear and obey. I did say I love this man, right? LOL
Physio today, and also go back to sleep clinic for results of last testing night, 2 months ago now. I really don't get the delay in results, will have to ask about that. With everything automated now, it makes no sense. But am taking my cpap with me so I can get it taken care of immediately if there are any adjustments.
DD will likely be home a couple of days this week. We will start moving stuff back in in preparation for her move home in 2 weeks. We may have a line on some summer work for her.
Well, hope everyone has a good Monday. I am back on call, but not expecting to be terribly busy. I hope to do a lot of walking this week, and get back to yoga later this month.
The grandkids and kids are home in texas now I do miss them dearly but I so enjoy the quiet in the house now. Oh man I tell you I dont know why someone didnt give me something for all the pain in my feet a long time ago when I went to the Foot specialist all he did was perscrible me a cream that my insurance dont pay for . My primary care Dr gave me something the other day and OMG I feel so much better my feet dont hurt I dont lay awake at night cause they are aching and bothering me. I atually had a peaceful night sleep I havnt had one of them in a long time.
I do have to go back wednesday to do a recheck on them but all will be ok. We have to take my aunt in the morning she has to be at the hispital at 7 am they are going to do the biopsy and we will know what is up. She was so sick last night . she was begging for it to be tuesday. I will let you all know whats up. See you all then.
Bonnie, so glad the feet are getting back to normal and it sounds like your life is improving.
Mad, you man sounds like a gem. My friend Barb is just back from hospital and has one of those useless guys - nice man but can't boil and egg. We have been sending over meals - my turn today so I'm doing corned beef in the crockpot. By the way, I love my heated seats and so will you.
Trish, I'm glad IE works for you. I am afraid I would not have willpower. My intuition tells me to just eat it if it's there. i would need a timelock on my fridge!
I swear someone else lives in this house and takes things! I cannot find my blood testing stuff or my hearing aids. My kids used to blame Neil, an imaginary guy who lived in the basement, and I suspect he has moved back in with me. The scale has been quite co-operative with Atkins though - ticker is back!
Carol they put me on Gabapentin oh man I tell you I was so happy Maybe now I can start working out again!!
Aunt went and Had her biopsy done this morning . She does have a tumor they thought it may be a cyst . They said this is a very slow growing thing. They did say we will have to wait for 3 to 5 days to get the Results back to see if it is cancer or not but he said to him he believes that it is 100% cureable. So now we have towait some more and then she has to go back to her regular dr for the results and then they will send her to a pancreas surgeon . So more waiting on top of that too.
Bonnie Glad you got the Gabapentin and it is helping you. I took that when I had the shingles. I never could tell if it really helped, but figured that the pain would have been worse if I hadn't had it. Hope the results are good for your Aunt.
Fatmad Weight seems to slowed down coming off which isn't unusual. But the fbs is coming down really nicely.
Ruthie I finally realized that I was a little nervous about trusting my body with IE. But the new book I bought and read "I've tried it all. Now what" has some rules that really helps me I think because it is really the way I ate most of my life especially when I was thin and had no weight problem. One rule that helps a lot is learning that I don't have to eat everything on my plate. I leave 3 bites of each food on my plate so I can learn to eat only as much as I need to satisfy my hunger. I'm finding I don't have to eat so much food. I eat only what I really want to eat and that helps too. Actually it is amazing that the cravings for foods I thought I wanted when forbidden I find that now I know longer want them. No desire for them any more.
Just wanted to say that corned beef can put three pounds of water weight onto your body overnight! **Sigh** I wish it left as fast! Lots of water on the menu today and I may throw out or freeze the leftovers.
Wanted to say jest when I think I can get myself togeather this has to happen OMG why me!!! Had to go to the Dr today yesturday for a check up tosee how the new blood pressure meds and the neuropathy is doing and I told him about my knee killing me and popping alot I know I have arthritis but this is nothing like it and he get to looking at my knee and feeling around and tells me that I have a torn Menicus. Like oboy if rest and relaxation dont help Like I can do alot of that with all I got going on then he said they will have to give me shots and if that still dont help no recourse but surgery. Like I need one more thing on my plate.
When ever is my life gonna free up a litttle bit??

Bonnie - I took Gabapentin when I had shingles. I hope it helps you. I'm sorry to hear about your torn miiscus. The 2 people I knew who had that needed surgery. I can't see you resting your knee with all the things you have to do.
I'm glad to hear that the doctors think you aunt can make a full recovery. Even though she has given you a hard time in the past, I'm sure you don't want her to be in poor health.
Ruth, I just love your stalk of celery!
As of this morning, my ticker is telling the truth! Yay!

Hi friends: just a lazy day, catching up on sleep after a long night of work, but a lovely normal delivery and a healthy mama and baby, so not complaining.
But it sure does throw me off with eating. Had breakfast before bed, but couldn't not eat the buttered toast, (thats the problem with eating out, and I was too tired and hungry to say no toast please!)
At least DH made a good supper (spaghetti sauce, and he bought me zucchini to grate to put it on) and then back to bed in a bit.
I have no desire to go outside (its snowing again) or get on the treadmill or do my physio exercises though, not so good.
Before I got called out last night, we were visiting and playing cards with a couple of friends. She has battled weight problems for years, and health problems as a result. She has joined ww and has lost 25 lbs since the New year. Since I don't like the ww meetings nearby, I thought I might go to her Tuesday group with her. She is someone I have loved and admired for many years, a true friend, and her strength is inspiring.
So will go back to my ww tracker this week and figure out my next steps.
DH being so supportive is helpful too.
My ticker is in Coventry this morning - not her fault but mine. I succumbed to some of the Mayor's famous maple cream tarts yesterday and then to Cathy's equally famous maple-baked beans for dinner. Back onto low carb this morning plus extra water.
Bonnie, I hope this is a speedy resolution to the knee problem. Time to make you your priority although I know it's difficult with the situation with your Aunt.
Mad, give your husband a gentle hug from me - he sounds darned special - you are blessed. Darn snow - should be illegal in April!
Good Morning everyone! I have to take my daughter today for a MRI of her brain she is having cronic headaches and they want to make sure she doesn't have anything wrong. Other then that I want to start eating better . I also want to start working out again my knee is ok as long as I take my pain meds and I have a brace I wear. I dont want to do anything too wrenching at least I can walk outside for a little bit. Since I have lost two children when they decided to grow up and move out it will be so much easier for me to cook better for me the hubby and my 15 year old she is all for it. So is the hubby.
Well I better be going I hope all is doing fine I know I havnt had a lot of time here to write but I hope to start taking the time to help me and not everyone My aunt is susposed t find the results any day now weather the tumor is cancer or not so I hope to have some me time I sooo need the time.
I will get back with you all soon......
OMG OMG i jest went and weighed myself since al of my shorts are tight and OMG I am almost back up to 300 pounds NONONONO!!! I am not gonna do this I have to do something about it now I cant keep this track that I am on it isnt good for me If people here in the house dont like it then I am so sorry I cant let myself go down this road and to think that may be why I am having problems with my feet right now and all....
Jest had to pop in and say that Aunt got test results back and the tumor isnt miligant, They found no cancer cells at all. Now waiting for the call from the Dr to say whats next...
