Hi all!

Another day has arrived. I am enjoying my berry bliss (frozen berries, sweetner, water blended) and planning out my meals for the day so I don't stray.

I managed to do a light workout at Curves yesterday-I did 20 minutes, 2 rounds, in my socks. :) I guess that is what I'm going to have to do for awhile until I can get a regular shoe back on. Right now I'm wearing my velcro sandals with socks (fashion faux pas, I know). My work doesn't like it, but they will have to deal with it.

I will call the Dr's office today and find out my biopsy results. xxfingersxx

Gotta run!

Hugs,

Weigh in this morning,down a pound in two weeks. BS has been high the last couple of days. Will really have to watch what I'm eating.
Went to the eye doctor yesterday. Everything is ok go back in 3 months for another check. I've had laser in the past for bleeding in the eyes.
Have a great day.

Hi, all. Well my weigh-in wasn't too bad. Down .2 lbs but still up 2.8. Sigh. Will have to try harder. Am anxious about a lot of things right now and that's taking a toll. Did start back exercising. Went again to the gym Tuesday night and will go tonight. Have to get a routine. Meowee - I understand about the camera. I finally bought a combo dvd/vhs player a few months ago and have yet to figure out how to record. The instructions are in several languages and none of them make sense. lol. Rosey -- what a wonderful mother you must be to have such a great daughter. Bask in your leisure while you can!

hello everyone, sorry I have not checked in in awhil but with my job I don't have internet connections all teh time while out here traveling (I travel all but 5 weeks of the year) I will try to catch up on posts, I have hit rock bottom again and need to start over, for some reason I have problems remembering to take my meds and blood sugars every day. Got to work on that. Well, going to try to take a walk now, I will try to check in later and get to kknow you all.

meowee 05-18-2006 06:39 PM

Hi gang. I'm back. Managed to eat lunch at a pizza buffet place without totally blowing things. Made some fairly wise choices and didn't eat until I was stuffed. Will now have a salad-based dinner and be happy that the day did not turn into a total disaster.

Think I'll just try a point and click with the new camera tomorrow and then get down to the real challenge of trying to figure out how to post a picture to the internet. Be prepared . . . I will probably have lots of questions for you. :dizzy:

Josian . . . Wow, I'm surprised you are even moving around on that toe. :hug: I had a toenail removed on purpose (ingrown) about four years ago and it was horrible. Maybe a little worse than what you did because it had to be removed right back to the growth point so it wouldn't come back, but the basic pain has to be about the same. Anyway, I'm very impressed with your pain tolerance (and your dedication to both work and your exercise regimen). ;) My :crossed: for you to have a great biopsy result, too.

Judy . . . Glad to hear you had a good report from the eye doctor. :hug: And that you had a weight-loss. Now just get back on top of those BS readings and everything will be in great shape. Good Luck ;)

Rosey . . What a wonderful surprise. :hug: Although we all know how much you will miss having to do it yourself. :p Have a great day of guilt-free playing.

Rosetta . . . Yep, it's amazing they print those instruction in half a dozen languages and yet not a one of them seems to be English. :hug: Just keep plugging away at it, girl. The pounds will eventually cooperate.

Holly . . . I don't know how you manage to keep on track at all when you spend so much time travelling. :hug: Try writing notes to yourself in your calendar about the meds. They are so important. Keep in touch, we're all here for you whenever you get a chance to pop in.

Anyway, gang . . . have a good evening and keep things moving and shaking in the right direction. See you all soon. :carrot:

Hi all.

Got the results back from the biopsies. Vaginal wall was normal, but the cervical was not. I have moderate/severe cervical dysplasia (step before it turns to cancer). On June 8th I will have a L.E.E.P. done in outpatient surgery to remove the bad cells.

Sheesh.

Anyway, I'm still trying to digest this.

Hugs,

hey gang there is an article in readers digest on diebeties go to www.rd.ca. it's in the health section. :) glen

Josian 05-19-2006 07:34 AM

Hi all!

Glen, sorry about the TMI... I forget sometimes that there is a guy on this thread! :)

Up at the buttcrack of dawn again for the second time this week: Gotta take g'ma to the airport. I need to have her there around 8-ish, which means leave here by 5:30.

I dropped my medicine box on my toe last night and opened it up again-started bleeding like mad: at least we know my circulation is good!

On top of that, I was out in the front yard with DF and Skye and she was romping with the neighbor's dogs... then she just disappeared. Luckily, my neighbor found her four streets away. I forget sometimes that it is the nature of the Husky to run, no matter how much she loves her family. No off-leash romps for her for awhile! She scared the daylights out of me!

Well, off to the shower and foot fixin' so I can shuttle granny.

Hugs,

Hi gang . . . weather doesn't know what it wants to do with itself today . . . and apparently that's the way it is going to be for the whole weekend. :( It figures . . . this is a long weekend in Canada . . . and one very dear to most hearts because it sort of symbolizes the start of the good beach and cottage weather.

Hi, Glen . . . how are you doing, boy. :hug: Good article, thanks for the link.

Oh, Josian . . . at least they caught it now and are going to do something right away. :hug: Good luck . . . and keep that gorgeous dog on a leash so you can cuddle her as needed.

Nothing too exciting around here. I'm trying to avoid both the new camera and the new exercise tape today in the hope that my frustration level will go down and I can get a fresh start tomorrow. My BS was high this morning and I think it was as much stress as the heavy lunch from yesterday.

Got to pop out and stock up on some extra salad stuff to get through the long weekend. See you soon, everybody. Keep moving and shaking and heading in the great downward direction. :carrot:

akrosey49 05-19-2006 05:21 PM

hi all alls well here. bs 6.4 this morning. glen

meowee 05-20-2006 09:41 AM

Good Morning . . . its rainy and pretty cool . . . luckily I don't have any outdoor plans for the long weekend . . . but I know a lot of people who do. :dizzy:

:hug: Glen . . . good BS reading. Congratulations. Mine was way up at 7.8 (140) yesterday morning but its back down to a 5.5 (99) this morning. I still prefer to get below 5.0 (90) since I usually tend to go up throughout the day (although yesterday went the other way).

:hug: Rosey . . . Hope the birthday gathering goes (went) well. Everything you mentioned preparing sounds yummy. Congratulations on the blouse pattern that's too big. Always fun to get a nice little NSV. Over the years I've made various sizes out of some of my favourite patterns. I cut the patterns pieces out of very light interfacing so they last longer. I really think the pattern manufacturers expect you to use a pattern only once. Hate that flimsy tissue paper. ;) Never fear, I'll get around to some pictures soon.

Have a great day, everybody. Keep doing the good stuff and you'll get good results. See you soon. :carrot:

Josian 05-20-2006 01:51 PM

Hi all!

I was able to do my workout this morning with shoes on! My new tennies are really roomy in the toes so it didn't rub at all, which is a good thing. Now I'm going to go work out in the yard for awhile before it gets too hot!

:hug: to everyone for your support. I've come to terms with the fact that yes, we found it early, and that everything will be okay. I just hate doing the whole surgery thing, but it needs to be done.

Meowee, feel free to ask me q's about your new camera. I'm pretty good with technology. :)

Tried on my dress last night, I could get the top buttoned and the zipper halfway up, but I need to lose about two inches just below my bust to about my belly button. I'm going to step up my workouts, because it would be nice to fit into it by September so I can have one less thing bugging me.

Well, off to the drawing board.

Hugs,

meowee 05-20-2006 05:54 PM

Wow, Josian . . . shoes. You'll be wearing dancing slippers in no time. Sounds like you're going to need lots of twisting and twirling to whittle that little problem area down. You can do it. :hug:

Thanks for the offer of help, I'm sure I'm going to need lots of it. I'm very technologically challenged. I imagine I'll manage to take the picture and get it loaded into the computer, but then . . . I'll be whining for help when I try to get it posted on here. :o At the moment I don't have clue one, but then I haven't looked at any of the software yet.

Sun came out this afternoon and so the day finished up a little better than it started. Same kind of mixed day for tomorrow, apparently. Temperature in the mid sixties so that's good for people wanting to get cottage, boat, trailer, and garden-type chores taken care of. The traditional things people do on the Victoria Day weekend to get set up for the coming summer.

See you soon, gang. Keep doing the right stuff. :carrot:
