:wave: HI LADIES ~ well, the skies were gray and overcast when we woke up this AM, but DH wanted to go to the lot anyways, at least to put up the new rails on the ramp, if nothing else. GOD was gracious and held the showers all day long, so we got the rails up on the ramp by 1 PM (and I actually was able to help DH with this).
He also got a row of crossbraces done in the afternoon. He started to get tired by 4, so we packed it in and came home. It seems that after 3-4 hours, he starts getting too tired and starts making mistakes. That's how I know when it is time to come home. ;) I encourage him to take lots of breaks and of course, we always stop halfway thru and have our picnic lunch too. Tomorrow will be a rest day for both of us; I did get a small amount of walking in, but my legs were very tired from the last two days, so I didn't dare overdo it anymore than I already had. I am pleased with what we did get accomplished this week already. HI PURPLE ~ glad that your appointment with your new doctor went so well, and that she is trying many new things. I heard that we have a new lady doctor coming here in September too, that might be nice to have a lady doctor for a change, but we don't have free choice here like they do in other places. Nobody likes it one bit, but the MD office here tends to try and designate the doctor we get, therefore not giving the patient a choice of who they can see; they even used to charge you a fee for transfer of files, if you wanted to change doctors, even when they all worked in the same building??? The whole thing seemed ridiculous to me when all the files are kept in the same room. :?: I have even seen some doctors refuse to take more patients, and patients told they must take who they say or they don't get a doctor. Before I came here, I never heard of such shenannigans. Now, they told me that I have to register somewhere or something; I really don't know what they are talking about. Boy oh boy, don't get me started on that topic; or I will be into another rant once again tonight! :lol: Prayers that your parents get their car fixed up soon and at a good price. DH accidently left the lights on today when we got home and ran down our battery. Thanks for the link to the tips site. Eeks, I think a skitter got me on the butt; I had seen one fly by and got out my swatter, but by the feels of it, I think he got me!!! :( HI RONNIE ~ nice to see you drop by again. Sounds like you and your boys had a great time at the beach; that's such a wonderful, peaceful activity for everyone in the family. For dinner, I just had some leftovers and DH made himself some new jumbo dogs we bought this week; he liked them but they are much higher in fat and cholesterol (I won't be eating any), so that will be the last time that I will be buying them too. Our other superdogs are healthier for us and we both like them too. So much for trying another kind. Well, that's all the news for today; take good care ladies ... :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Hi ladies and good evening
Today has been a warm :sunny: humid day which at around 4pm start to have little rain :rain: showers on and off. It was that hot and humid it was a day we could not take our little pouch out as it would be so unfair to him not to mention a risk to his own life in the car when we went out briefly. Only went out once today and that was a trip to the dentist which is about 8 minutes away from our home so not too far. Today was D-Day and my tooth was to be extracted. Firstly it took 3 lignocaine injections to numb the area. She told me if the last one did not work it was off to the hospital with me to have it extracted under sedation. Fortunately the last one worked so I was reprieved from going to the hospital. The tooth took some getting out firstly the crown on it broke. Then as it wouldn't come out she divided the tooth and extracted it in pieces. So all the pulling and tugging has done me no favours and left me in pain this evening. Not that I can blame the dentist in any way she tried her absolute best and let me know what she was going to do every step of the way. She let me know what to expect so I am pleased with her treatment of me. So please forgive me this evening if this entry is some what grammatically wrong and the spelling are definitely not the Queen's English ;) Glad though that it is all over and done with just need to wait for it to heal. ROSEBUD Sounds like you are making head way on the lot with the work that your you and your DH are doing whilst the weather is clement. Does not matter how little you manage on the lot each step is another step closer to achieving your goal. Yes it is best to step away when you are getting tired else you start making the errors like you mentioned which are steps backwards. I bet it has been nice eating the picnics outside food some how tastes that wee bit nicer when eaten like this. Sometimes when it is nice we eat our lunch in the garden at the garden table and chairs. I just put up the umbrella to shade me from the sun. This is because I catch the sun easily and soon look like a lobster. I am fair skinned though both my parents and sister are not. Hmm maybe I am the milkman's daughter ;) Though seriously I do look like my Dad but certainly not in skin colour or hair. He in his younger days his hair was jet black. My skin/hair must be a throw back of genes. In our Doctor's practice we have three doctors two full time which are the men and one part time which is the lady. The system in the UK we have for doctors is you have to register to a doctor (GP which stands for general practitioner) who deals with patients in your area. Though once you are registered to a doctor you may see any other doctor in the practice so that gives me a choice of three doctors to see one being the doctor I am registered to. For many years there was no female doctor in the practice but it is so nice to have that choice to see one especially if you have an problem which maybe gynaecological in nature. The system you describe that you have where you live seems very restrictive and not geared towards caring for the patients. It seems that I am very blessed. My parents have much better range of choice who they see at their doctors practice I think they have 8 or 10 doctors. They tend to see one doctor as they are very happy with the care and attention he gives them. It just happens to be the doctor whom they are registered to. Mum and Dad's car is in the garage at the minute being diagnosed. ( not quite sure how else to put it :D) Hopefully they will know tomorrow more what is gone wrong and more importantly how much it will cost :?: Will let you know as I know more. I hope the skitter did not get you and you managed to swat the blessed thing. So glad we do not have them around here to contend with cos you can guarantee they would make a meal of me :dizzy: Was watching a programme last night on the BBC which is a series which the final prize for the contestants is to get a job filming wildlife. Each week they are broke up in to different groups of two or three people and have a task to film various things. I thought of you last night as the contestants had been sent to Lesotho to film 8 species of birds. This is why I thought of you with your love of taking photographs of birds. I bet you would have loved this assignment and the beautiful array of birds they have in that country. Each week one contestant is sent home who is failing to progress with the tuition given. I am loving seeing the very diverse wildlife the various countries have to offer often extremely rare species. Time to go and make a drink my throat is dry plus no further news to give today. So before I go :wave: hello to MEOWEE and thinking of you and hope that you are starting to regain your health. Till next time take care ladies :wave:purpleorc :hug: |
Hi, Ladies!
Purple-so sorry you're suffering from the tooth extraction today. Prayers that the pain goes and healing is quick. I, too, had a dentist appt. but only a filling to be had later on, not anything as severe as an extraction. Take care! Maybe ice chips would help the pain some? :dunno: Rosebud-glad you got some more time in at your lot. Picnicking sounds really nice and relaxing. We often just make a small fire in our back yard and roast hot dogs and marshmallows and just sit around the fire for the evening. It's a nice, quiet way to spend some time. We're going to be gone for the weekend for FIL's memorial. Now, I must go because the dinner buzzer just rang..... Have a great weekend!:hug::hug::hug: for you all! |
:wave: HI LADIES ~ the day started out very dark and cloudy; but the :rain: didn't come til later, and when it did, it really did (around noon). It was like that on and off until late afternoon, and it cleared up nicely and we have glorious :sunny: now ... yeah!
DH went fishing today, but didn't catch anything. He also went to look at a truck, but it wasn't in very good shape, then he visited some friends on the way home. I just stayed home and did things around the house here. Also did some catch-up on emails, reading, and devotions this afternoon; I was way, way behind. That pretty well took all afternoon. HI RONNI ~ that sounds nice too; having a fire in the back yard with the boys. That is one thing I do miss here; we have a very small back yard now. I managed to get DH to take out our drum at the lot, so next time we go we can burn some garbage, but that's not really a bonfire. Eventually, we will be able to have one in our own backyard at the lot. Right now, DH has his wood for his shed piled up in the backyard behind my apples trees; not much room left there right now. Oh well, pretty soon ... HI PURPLE ~ Sorry, you are having some pain from your extraction. I have been very blessed in that the last three I had out, I had relatively little or no pain at all. I think it is partly becuz my teeth are very small (like a small child), and so that makes it easier for the dentists pulling them too; but, obviously, these men were also very skilled at doing this as well. ^Prayers^ that you feel better soon. When I do have to go back to the doctor; they will likely explain the procedures to me. Thanks for the explanation about registering; maybe that's their way of keeping track of how many people are going to each clinic. One of my prescriptions will be out in a while, but I really don't want to have to keep taking them indefinitely, so I'll see what the new doc says when I go. That show sounds fun and interesting too. DH says that the tree outside our kitchen window is full of birds tonight -- little yellow canary finches, and other kinds of finches, sparrows, starlings, and blackbirds; plus there were lots of babies here today too. He just put out some food for them and they came right back. The mourning doves still come by each day as well. I had a toasted tomato sandwich on Bran W/G bread for lunch, cheese for some protein, and a pear. We had some very lean sausages (the long skinny ones) from a local butcher here with veggies, baby cukes, and new tators for dinner; yummy, quick, and filling. So stayed OP today; credit moi. I also did my toning exercises, and my stretchie band work today too; kudos to me. Just did walking around here today to give my back and legs a bit of a rest; my back was bothering me a bit when I got up this AM, so that's a sign to take it ez ... :wave: HI MEOWEE, and VAL, TGIF ... hope you both are feeling well! Well, that's all the news from here; just gonna have a quiet restful evening. Take good care, and have a fabulous FRIDAY, ladies ... :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Hi Ladies and good afternoon
This morning the weather was barely fit for ducks as it was raining cats and dogs :rain: Though after lunch it brightened up lovely and we have had glorious sun :sunny: ever since. So a mixed bag all in all today. Thanks for all the prayers regarding my tooth extraction they have been answered as today I am not in too much pain. The pain seems to be localised to the injection sites more than anywhere else today. Today my instructions are to rinse out with either water/ salt water or mouth wash after every meal so I am following dentists orders like a good little girl :D This morning I have been carrying out some chores in the house but nothing riveting ;) I have started to wash down storage shelves in the kitchen still have a few more to do but will pull them in over the weekend. I have cleaned the bathroom and mopped the bathroom floor. I have also commence food prepartion for the meal tomorrow. Nearly all vegetables are done now just the new potatoes to do. We are having leg of lamb tomorrow and I am making several meals and plating them up. If there is any meat left over then depending how much is left over it will either be portioned for another meal for another day and frozen until such time I need it. Or the other option if there is not a lot left is to make rissoles a type of burger with minced onion, bread and egg. Again I will freeze these until I need them in the future. RONNI Thanks for the prays that was very kind of you and much appreciated. Not sure what ice chips are? but I did have a choc ice last night. A choc ice I think you may not know what it is as Ty Pennington was on a programme the other day and he though it was chocolate ice cream. It is actually a small individual block of vanilla icecream covered in either milk or dark chocolate for one person. I slowly sucked on that last night and gained some relief pain wise. I went shopping round and found a choc ice at 93 calories per choc ice so just fits the bill for a snack at under 100 calories. Not the most filling I must admit but nice to have for quashing those chocolate cravings you may have without going too heavily on the calorie intake. ROSEBUD Many thanks for the prayers sent up regaring my tooth extraction that was thoughful of you and much appreciated. Just had a break in typing this post in as a dear friend dropped by who we have not seen for a few months. He dropped by during his late lunch break at work. It was so lovely to see him and chat with him. We caught up on news of his family of young children. Must admit your menu yesterday sounded rather nice. You just reminded me that I have some sausages in the freezer to try they are turkey ones so are leaner and thus less calories. Often the quick simple meals are the best rather than fancier meals that take lots of preparation. I have also prepared a nice fresh fruit salad for tea tonight and it is sitting in the fridge in a tupperware container. This is because the fruit salad is a big enough for several days portions. No further news for today hope you all have a fantastic weekend ladies. Till next time take care ladies. :wave:purpleorc :hug: |
:wave: HI LADIES ~ We had lovely :sunny: all day long today, with a nice breeze; nice temps too for most of the day (not too hot and not too cold). We packed up some stuff last night and got an early start today to go to the lot and DH did very well. He put in crossbraces until he ran out of wood and then we came home. He really pushed himself and was so exhausted that he has been sleeping since after dinner.
I got some walking in with NIKO in the AM (kudos to me); I walked about half of the block there, but I had to stop several times to rest. The important thing to me is that I made it around even if my feet are sore tonight. I am trying to push myself to do walking 3-4 days a week, and do other stuff in between; that is my new plan. I need the days in between to rest my feet and legs as they do swell. I just got up from a rest; had my tea and a wee snack. Made a quick dinner of hamburglers which are DH's favorite, as he deserved it. They are fast and ez to make, perfect when you are very tired. PURPLE ~ so glad that you are feeling much better today; yes, I remember having to do rinses when I had my teeth out. My last dentists got me to rinse with "antiseptic" mouth wash and my mouth healed very well. It was a while ago, so I can only remember a little about it now. Your leg of lamb dinner sounds very nice too; and making up several leftover plates is a great idea as well. I do that a lot more now than in the past; and this is very handy. I have a couple of casseroles in the freezer that I will use up this month too.; great for giving myself a break from cooking once a week or two. I also spent an hour or so in the afternoon doing some cleaning in my Dad's cottage for them. They were so rushed when they moved the last of their stuff in there when they were here in July. That is a good way to pass time and use up some energy as well. Well that's all for tonight ladies -- take good care, and do have A WONDERFUL WEEKEND! :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
I'm back
Hello everyone. So nice to be here again! I am so impressed with the weight loss considering challenges on this forum. There have been issues here also but my weight loss has been at a standstill and I have soooo much to lose. I am recovering (2 months in) from total knee replacement and having the numbness and nerve damage that goes with it. I hope it goes at some point. I am an age that does not seem to do well with weight loss but I won't give up! I've read all posts and hope to come back and comment another time as getting my login properties set again took time. :carrot:

:wave: morning all! yay the weekend! FINALLY!!
I'm headed south tuesday evening will be in winnipeg for two nights and get a chance to stay overnights with my grandma who is currently battling cancer -- my dad is actually going to be in the city at the same time! I love it when life just seems to fall into place without effort -- I have to take a bus further south into Minnesota to see Renee (I took the cruise to mexico with her last year) BUT since my brother works for greyhound I can take the bus for free. And I'll meet up with Brent (guy I've been emailing for a month) I've told several friends about him and will stay in a public area i'm down a couple more pounds this weekend... actually something like 1.5. and I'm still running - just wrapping up week four of the couch to 5k program. Purple -- I personally, loved the newest harry potter movie. I havent read any of the books, but it's my favourite movie thus far. My neuro apt last month went very well, I have started taking vitmain d and will start full dose rebif next week. He also gave me a revelation -- the three months I spent with fatigue was most likely a flare up. I am on track for yearly flares then.. so that's disapointing, but it is also empowering to know that I let things get too bad and should have pressed my issues even more. It's hard to do when a person is that tired. how have you been doing symptom wise? Rosebud :hug: I'm glad you took a rest day for your legs. thanks to you and purple for keeping our thread moving. :wave: meowee and ronni. and liz! hope all is well gone for a run! |
Hi Ladies
Today is a glorious sunny :sunny: day just as a summers day should be. So am taking the opportunity wash a throw-over that is used on the bed. Though it needs a good sunny day to dry it as it takes a bit of drying. Managed to forge ahead with my housework yesterday. I am hoping that i am not speaking too soon but since the change in my medication regime of taking gabapentin 100mg in the morning, 200mg dinner and tea then 100mg at bedtime. Now all I take is 300mg morning and night. I know it is the same amount as before but my body seems to be likely the new regime I seem to have a lot more get up and go shall we say. Got lots of chores pulled in yesterday often ones you put off till another day so was well pleased by the end of the day with my achievements. Well the leg of lamb is in the oven cooking away nice and slowly. We are having a cooked tea instead of dinner today for a change as it fits in better with our plans. This morning we went out to a computer shop as my DH other PC has finally given up the ghost. We knew it was on the way out but last night it die on us. So the cheapest way to get it up and running again was build it from scratch. So he has bought the components he needs having the shop fit the bit he is unable to do which is put in the Motherboard. The rest my DH can do himself he wished he could do the Motherboard but has not been shown how to do that. So later on I will be off the INTERNET for a few hours whilst he puts this computer together again. Why am I off the INTERNET? Well this PC serves the INTERNET to me and DH other PC. So till it is up and running we are internetless (doubt that is a word really :D). I know I will miss the INTERNET when it is not available to me. So I though I best make my entry now on 3fc as things may not go smoothly in the installation. All DH has bought are the parts he needs to buy and the other parts he is taking from the old pc and making it up that way. So fingers crossed :crossed: it all goes smoothly and according to plan. The other day whilst doing some research into the alternative medicine that he doctor had suggested for my bowels. I found this site which would send a couple of sachets free of the lepicol (the name of the medicine). So as from tomorrow I will be able to start hopefully then by Monday the order I placed will come ( I did order this from another site as was cheaper). I must admit though the free sample came with a great booklet which give helpful advice. One section I was reading was for someone like me already on a laxative and how to wean yourself off it and so your body becomes adjusted to the Lepicol. I think I will be following there advice as it will I am sure provide a useful tool in the adjustment to a new regime. I have not finished reading the book so I am not sure of the other tips in the book. LIZABETH :welcome2: to 3fc and especially to this thread. I am glad that you have found this section to help support you through your weight loss journey. It is great that you have the attitude of not giving in and forging forward this will hold you in good stead. I know progress can be slow after joint replacements so chin up and one bit advice I will give which is so important to do all the exercises and instructions by the medical staff. Those patients whom do this have a much better outcome than those who do not. Many may not even need a walking aid afterwards. I hope that now you have had the procedure done you are no where like in the amount of pain that you where in. Any reduction in pain must be worth it in my opinion even if it is a long road to recovery. Sorry I am forgetting myself and forgot to introduce myself. I am a 44 year old lady from the UK with MS who also has mobility issues like yourself. Prior to all this happening I was a psychiatric nurse for some 16 years. You may have come to a standstill but look at it this way count yourself as maintaining as you are not gaining weight. At some point in your weight loss journey you will be maintaining so count this a good practice for then. You may not have to make big changes to your eating plan now but just little tweaks that you may not have though about trying and this will be the starting point of the weight loss again. I am not denying that if you have mobility issues weight loss is easy cos it isn't as you are finding out. Though there are ways and means of getting by. This does not include starving yourself couldn't do that as I love my food too much ;) So welcome back to the fold lizabeth and look forward to getting to know your better over the next coming weeks and months. ROSEBUD :cheer: well done :cheer: you for doing the walking with NIKO that is great news hey you might have had to stop a few times but the most important thing is you did it. Has long as you have rest days from the exercise so your body recovers I am sure you will find over a period of days that the walking will get easier for you. Feel proud of your achievements as you deserve too. I try to do this as before I started my journey I would do nothing like this so any walking I manage how ever small is something I would not have done before. Also now I am more aware now of what I am putting into my mouth now where as before I just did not care one iota. Yes making up several plates of dinner sure does save hours spent in the kitchen. It frees me up no end and that is thanks to a friend who suggested it. Frequently now I will cook like two casseroles at once an one is for the freezer. Again that is labour saving as another day it is just a matter of reheating the casserole which makes the dinner so quick. Saves on gas or electric too depending what you cook with. Cooking two cost the same as cooking one electric or gas wise. Making a double batch of soup as well is another thing I do as again saves time. Mind you need big enough freezer to store all these boxes and tubs with soups and stews in. See you have been burning more calories by cleaning your father cottage. I take it that the cottage is not too far from where you live? So more brownie points to you for more exercise. Housework can sure burn those calories with all that scrubing and mopping and so forth. Right got to go as my DH is soon wanting to assemble PC. If I am MIA you will know it is because of technical issues with the PC in other words things haven't gone according to plan :cry: . Take care ladies and catch up with you soon :wave:purpleorc :hug: |
VAL We must have posted virtually at the same time. So hence another post straight after the previous one.
Glad to see that you are losing weight steadily :carrot: I am at a standstill at present and probably need a good :kickbutt: to get me on the right path again. Though on a positive note I am not gaining weight either so not all bad news. Yes I think the latest film of Harry Potter is possibility my favourite too. Though of the books my favourite was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire though I had never read any of the books until I watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Hope the meeting with Brent goes well and look forward to hearing how the meeting got on. :high: good for you :high: in under taking the running programme wish you good luck and success in this. Glad to hear that you got the full dose of Rebif that you wanted but not so happy to hear that you have been experiencing a flare for 3 months. I understand where you are coming from when you say that when you feel so tired that this is the least time that you feel like pressing an issue. I know when I was feeling so ill in the beginning and was in that place called limboland with no diagnosis. I went to my GP to see what was wrong with me and off I was sent to a dietitians. I was so upset if it was not for my DH persuading me to go and see the other GP in the practice I would have gone undiagnosed for much longer. Fortunately the other doctor did the basic neurologically test which showed something was amiss. When you are feeling so shattered the last thing you want to do is fight your corner. Symptom wise I am struggling with the residual effects of a couple of flares I had last year. (again maybe I did not press the matter as much as I should) which I have since learnt that I should have been on steroids. Well the trouble is that now I lack of sensation which spells trouble for the bowels. So trying to find what works for me with the GP who is being very helpful and sympathetic to my plight. No amount of high fibre diet, water and exercise make a blind bit of difference. So I had to resort to drugs which is something desperately I tried to avoid. Also my mobility deteriorated from last year and have now resorted to a walking stick as I am very wobbly on my feet and look as drunk as a skunk but I am teetotal :D Otherwise fingers crossed :crossed: symptom wise I am not too bad. Know compare to yourself I have got off Scot free really considering I have had the condition 10 years it is only now it seems to be catching up with me a bit now. |
HI LADIES ~ we awoke to :sunny: skies this am, with good temps too; so we went up town to mail some bills and pick up a few things, as I needed some more salve for my leg. It was the last one on the shelf so I sure hope they buy some more soon. Anyways, we got that done and came home for lunch; then the clouds rolled in, but it didn't rain that I could see.
The landlord had to work on the sewer plumbing, and wouldn't you know it both DH and I were feeling under the weather and I had a terrible case of the fox trots today. I had to lay down in the afternoon, but after about 2 hours, I started to feel better. We had chicken and veggies and salad with a small new potato for dinner. My plan says that I can have a medium new potato, but I have cut it to a small one and with the veggies, it seems like a lot to me now. :welcome: BACK, LIZ ~ sorry to hear that you have had knee grief (can sure relate with that), but are now on the mend after surgery. It is much more difficult to lose when your mobility is limited, but right now is best to focus on healing, as PURPLE mentioned above; and later on, you will be able to do more. For now, you can focus on eating healthy and maintaining, which is very important too. I dislocated my right knee years ago, with it getting so bad that it would just go numb and collapse on me; but my DH suggested I use a cane to give it a rest and take some weight off it, and it is now starting to heal. Yes, it has taken a long time, but the improvement is remarkable really. I have friends that have been praying for that knee and they are so glad it is getting better. I went from falling often, to now I just get the crunchies and pain only if I overdo it; so I do have to watch it, but what a difference -- it's awesome ... and I didn't have to have surgery after all! I guess I should also introduce myself ~ I am from Canada, and I am 50 years young; just a chickadee really ... I was born with spina bifida, but I have done remarkably well all my life. Had lots of prayers around me, plus I had some corrective procedures as a child, which I honestly must admit were horrible, but I choose to focus on the positive and I am very, very grateful to GOD that I can walk (some doctors were amazed that I could walk too). I'm a tough Irish lassie, and won't give up too easily. A friend of mine reminded me recently that pushing that wheelchair away, as far away into the future as possible is the wisest choice and I agree with her. Actually I am hoping that I never will have to have one; and I have a new resolve about that now. Yes, I am using a cane now, but it is just a tool; a helping tool to help my legs heal, it is not a crutch per se. I had two bad falls that resulted in severe injuries -- the fall down the long stairs that led to the dislocated knee; and the fall in some gravel that fractured my left calf and caused a bad blood clot. This has taken a long time to heal, and it really isn't quite right yet, but I am still praying. I am doing light exercises by a doctor to improve the circulation in my legs, and it seems to be helping. Well, I am definitely a work in progress ... Come back often and visit with us; we are glad that you joined us here once again ... :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
THANKS PURPLE ~ yes, that walking was difficult and you know how that is; but I kept pressing on. All the way, kept looking up and saying ... please help me GOD; I know that if you help me, I can make it around this 1/2 block (which is my pretend track). And I did it ... yeah ... kudos to me!!!
OK, I was sore that night and the next day; but I still did it and today I did some walking (a little bit shorter though). Learned my lesson well: take it easy, and don't over do it or you'll pay with pain. :lol: Like you say, in time, it will get easier and easier. Like you, I had a set-back last year, and I am working my way back again, so I have to be patient with myself. Hope your DH gets the PC's up and running again. He is learning more and more as he goes; and maybe someday someone will teach him the rest he wants to know too. It's a good thing that he is so handy with PC's so that you can have someone to keep your PC's going all the time. I hope that all your new med regimes and trials work out well for you; thanks for all your encouragement too. YOu are doing well yourself to maintain all this time and not gaining back any of your weight you have worked so hard to lose; I really believe that is just as great a victory as losing in the first place. Lots of folks get where you are and then end up staying there becuz that is the weight their body settles on; a healthy weight for your height. Down the road, you may get a surprise and lose a bit more when the dust settles, so to speak. My Dad's cottage is right next door to our lot, where we are putting our small cottage. We bought our lot first (actually almost bought both lots, but then my Dad bought the other one). DH helped him build his two summers ago or was it just last summer -- I can't remember now. These memory cells need some new ones too! :lol: Have a great weekend ... :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
HIYA VAL ~ glad to hear that you are doing better and that your meeting with your MS doctor was productive. HOpe you have a great trip next week to see your girlfriend and your new friend, Brent. Glad to hear that you are meeting him in public places; that is the safest way in the beginning, so you can get to know him a bit better. I hope that someday you will get to meet his family, like his parents and siblings, as they can verify things for you. OK I won't ruin the fun for you by being overly cautious, but in this day and age, you need to be somewhat careful too!
So glad that you dropped by for a visit with us; please do have a fabulous time on your trip and a great weekend too! :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
:wave: to MEOWEE ~ hope that you are feeling better, and those Canadian doctors figure out how to help you get back to perfect health, so you can come back here again!!!
HI to RONNIE ~ Prayers are with you and yours this weekend and may you have a blessed and peaceful and restful Sunday tomorrow! :hug: HI to NUMPSTER and her DH ~ hope you two had or are still having a great holiday in your secluded cottage on the dock of the bay ... :lol: Well, I just spent my evening on my PC catching up on my mail and posting here. DH went to bed a bit earlier as he wants to shake off this cold/flu or whatever it is that we picked up. I am feeling much better tonight though. I had a big cup of tea earlier, and that soothed my tummy well ... hmmm, maybe I'll have another one now! Take good care of yourselves ladies, and please do have A SUPERBLY SERENE SUNDAY!!! :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Thanks so much for that nice welcome and I must tell you all that I am completely impressed by your 'get up and go' despite all challenges! I too, am of Irish descent. You are all young chics compared to me. I am 75 but feel about 50 until I go to get out of my chair. LOL! I fell some time ago and knee kept getting worse. Hope I NEVER have to go throught that again. I go to the pool(run by city) for exercise right now. The water helps a lot for physical therapy. Also have arthritis and had fibromyalgia and took prednisone for a year that added to weight. Right now I think that low carb is best for me.Hope I can stick to it. Diabetes in family. Anyway, glad I'm here. I'll be back.
