DH has been able to pee so hes doing better. Its not completely back to normal. He thinks the sauerkraut or ham caused this this time.

I did not get weighed this morning. And I ate and drank so wont weigh now.

We are due to get a major ice storm today.

Carol Sue I'm glad your DH was able to urinate. I pray he will be fine.

Well, my weight went up to 170.4 this morning and FBG 128. I hit a crash last night and no energy today. I wanted to call BIL all morning but didn't have the energy to call him. Low and behold, the phone rang and it was him. Said he had been trying to call me but couldn't get through and the problem was he didn't have to use the 1 before my area code and didn't know it. I wanted to tell him that the lady whose husband was our minister for years and then after he died, she stayed on at the church as the pianoist/organist had passed away on December 22. Our family had been very close to them and he and I had taught her children in church classes. I think she was 93 or 94 yrs old.

Well I'm very weak today and hoping that I will have enough energy tomorrow for DBL, niece and her friend to come for a visit tomorrow. I miss them when I can't see them. I will keep you and your DH in my prayers.

Have a blessed day and stay warm during that storm.

Carol Sue I hope your DH has a Happy Birthday and y'all enjoy his celebration.

I crashed for 2 days and unable to write. I had 2 days of just weakness and sleeping. All that weight and higher FBG was coming down made me just wanting too sleep. Still weak today but I think that is because FBG is still falling. It was finally 115 this morning and weight has come down to 164.6 this morning. I am hoping energy will return by Tuesday. I"ve decided that the 1st week after treatment has to be no plans of visitations etc. I hope after that I can start back to exercising. I'm so thankful that I only have 4 more of these to do.

Nap time again. Hope everybody has a blessed day.

This morning the scale was 177.6. I have not weighed since Christmas and that was 179.4. So 1.8 loss. . Maybe Im better off to not weigh daily but that could have been a gain. Id rather see the real weight.

IT seems I forgot to tell you that I fell in my livingroom on Friday and my face is all banged up. I have a goose egg on my forehead and a bruise, and a bruise on my nose. It wull heal. My shoulder , neck, and upper back all hurt but im taking tylenol.

DH birthday is today and we are going to the casino. we will eat dinner there. We didnt go this week at all. He is 83.

Carol Sue I am so sorry to hear you fell. I hope you are feeling better today. Hope y'all had a good and safe trip to the casino.

Weight seems to have settled at 164.6 so I will end the month will a small loss if things continue as they are. FBG back under 120 as it was 118 today. I guess that was the McD's CB and few fries I made myself eat yesterday. I had to force myself to eat that. It is so hard to eat when your not hungry and nothing tastes good, Still forcing liquids but that is difficult to. Tried coffee yesterday and only drank half of it because it tasted to sweet with the Stevia which I've never had a problem.

Hope everyone has a good day and stays warm. It is even extremely cold here 39 and high is supposed to be in 40s. I'm sitting in my chair covered up.

Yesterday we went to the casino. it was DHs birthday and thats what he wanted. Themonth of your birthday they give you $150 toward food so you can bring family/friends to have a birthday get together. His kids didnt want to come so we just ate. We ordered this delicious salmon dish. It was a big bowl with rice, a grilled salmon filet, grilled mushrooms, green beans and some salad greens. It was delicious. And we were allowed to get a take out order to make up the rest of the money. I would order that meal again. He gambled and no big win but he came home with $60 more than he took with him. So he enjoyed his birthday. Something in the meal didnt agree with me and I ended yp with potty issues the rest of the evening. Even with that the scale was up 1 lb to 178.6. I expected a loss.

My face is still a mess from my fall. My back and my legs hurt. I have a bandage on my forehead. A friend saw me in Walmart and asked DH what happened to me. I cant wait til it heals.
Its 24 degrees here, light snow, and windy. Trees are coming out by the roots.

Im still getting texts. He says he is who I told you, but I asked him if he was texting me in February and he said No.
______________________________
Today the scale is up to 180. I guess im overeating. I have to admit it. This is my responsibility and I have to fix it.

Carol Sue I pray your results from your fall clear up and you feel better soon. I'm glad y'all enjoyed your trip to the casino.

Well I seem to be doing IF and I don't think that is a bad thing. Can't seem to drink coffee no matter how I fix it. I drink about half a cup and the rest goes down the drain. I don't get hungry in the morning so yesterday I had DH make me eggs with green beans and ham. I'm tired of the ham so we are having cod fish today and I will have him make eggs to go with it. I seem to have fallen into eating OMAD. I am feeling a little more human today. Will try to do some exercises today as I need to keep my legs strong.

Weight this morning 162 lbs and FBG 114. So that is good.

Have a good day everyone.

Trish, I wizh I could do OMAD. But I like my eggs too much to give up breakfast. And I seem to eat some of whatever DH makes for his lunch. I do try not to eat in the evening.

I sent you an emaul.

I did not get weighed today so my final weight for the yeae is yesterdays,weight of 180. I looked back at Jan 1 and I also did not get weighed that day. So my starting weight for the year was from Jan 2, 280.6 which means I lost .6 for the year. All I can say is at least I didnt gain. I call that maintaining. My lowest weight was 165 lbs when DH had his hip and heart surgeries and I think that was in 2018. My highest weightvever was 217 when I had my first heart surgery in 2008. So ive gained back 15 lbs from my loss.

Weight today was 162.2 up .2 lbs. The shocker was my FBG was 133. I think it was the carbs I ate or the dawn phenomena as I was waking up. I lost 6 lbs for this month, but when I looked back to January 1st, I lost a lb for the year. Strange. I am very cold and tired today for some reason. No complaints though. I'm alive and DD tells me my body is healing as I rest. I hope she is right.

Happy New Year's Eve everybody.

Happy New Year. May it be a good year for us all.

My weight is up today to 181.8 so im calling that my official starting weight and blaming it on the sauerkraut.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I pray 2026 will be a good year for us. New year New beginnings.

Weight this morning 162.2 lbs and FBG 118. So it is a good start of this year.

Trish, when I think that I was 165 in 2018 when DH had his broken hip I get angry at myself.

My scabs are coming off my forehead and nose. Soon my face will be back to normal. Theres only 1 small mark left where that lesion was that I was supposed to have checked at the dermatologist. It bled after I fell and now appears to be filling up with blood again. My PCP didnt know what it is. He said it is pink but now it looks red.

I was going to eat leftover pork and sauerkraut but DH went to McDonalds so Im eating a chicken sandwich. I still want that pork.

Carol Sue If you have a spot that needs to be checked then you should.

I was able to drink a protein shake and decaf didn't hurt my stomach. We had ham and eggs for dinner and I was actually able to eat it. I think we will have pork chops tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Weight still 162.2 lbs. FBG 113. Nothing new hear.

Have a great day.
