The surgery took all afternoon, the took him in at 1:00 and the doctor came out to talk to me at 6:00. They were able to do the laproscopic surgery so he will be getting to go home Sunday or Monday. The doctor said he's doing good. They are going to keep hime in the recovery room until morning.
The only good thing about them changing the time of the surgery was that I was able to do my O and my bike before we had to leave. I'm not sure if I'll try another session before bed or not. I'm awfully tired, but it might relax me. We'll see.
Anyway thanks for the thoughts and prayers, and keep up the breathing...
It's been one of those weeks and weekends again. I'm not feeling well at all. I think I have an ear infection. Haven't been getting much sleep and feel sick.
Terri-Great job with the O! Keep up the great work and way to drink that water.
Barbg-I'm so glad your hubby is doing well. That must be such a relief for you. And you deserve some applause for exercising and doing Oxycise through this. You have given me new motivation! Take care and post when you can. I know things will be hectic for you for a while.
Well I've done O this whole week only once a day. I need to do it today too but I really don't feel so well. I'll take some medicine and if that helps I'll do my O tonight. I hope you all have a great Sunday and I'll check in later.
Things went crazy after Friday night. I got up and went to the hospital by 6:00AM Saturday morning and wast there until about noon yesterday. His surgery went great. He's doing super. He's had almost no pain, no nausea, and no hunger. BUT... he came down with pneumonia and was very sick with it. He's doing much better now, but he shocked me by not wanting me to leave him!!! So I spent the week in the hospital, no O. no bike, and trying to sleep on a chair that flattened out. And I do mean FLAT!!!
But anyway we are home and I had a great nights sleep in my own bed last night. I did get up and did my O this morning and I rode my bike (only 15 minutes instead of 30, because I was so stiff)
I'm proud you are still here, and keeping up the Oxycise. i'll get back to you later...
Whew I forgot my password for a minute. It's been so long since I've had to sign in here I usually just store mine so I won't have to remember it but a little concentration and I remembered. I'd hate to have to start over with one post!
Barbg-I'm sorry your husband had a hard time with recovery but I'm glad he's doing better now! That must have been frightening for you both! Good job with your O! and exercise right after you got home! What a motivator you are! Post as often as you can. I know how busy your schedule is.
I have been doing great with O! Haven't seen a ton of inch loss yet but it will come. I just feel better doing O! I've done it all week except for Weds. I had TOM and felt so ill that I could barely go to work let alone do O! It's been so so busy here with work, my son getting ready for graduation and college. Oxycise is the only thing that keeps my stress level down. I'm sorry I haven't posted more often but hopefully things will calm down a little so I can post more. So where is everybody else? Post and let us know how you're Oeing!
I've managed to do one session of O every day I have been back from the hospital.
[size=huge]Terry?[/size] you hangin in there? keep us posted.
[size=huge]Rose[/size] you said in an earier post that you were trying something new? what is it, and how is it going?
I'm also trying something new, and it is a "natural" method. It was referred to me by Nancy. They also have a support group that is on YahooGroups. I found it very interesting that several people on the thread mentioned Oxycise as the perfect compaion tho this program.
I've also went back tousing my "Weight Commander" computer program. It helps to keep me focused,
I hope everyone is getting their O in! I've managed to do O all last week except for one day. I really love this.
Barbg-I'm interested in this program you are on. I was doing the Slim In Six program through Beachbody.com and have finished that program with good results. I dropped a pant size. But it's allot of work. One hour a day of exercise is too much sometimes. Now I'm doing O and Leslie Sansone's walking tapes. But I do switch around and do Tae Bo sometimes too. Let me know what your program is if you don't mind sharing.
Terri-Where are you? I hope everything is going okay for you. Check in when you can!
Okay I'm off. Have to finish this work before I leave today. Keep Oeing everybody!
I'm depressed again!!! Boy I hate this rollercoaster i seem to stay on. I had to try so hard to be upbeat and "strong" while Alvin was in the hospital and at first home, but now that things should be getting back to normal whatever that is!!! I seem to have lost all motivation. I seem to have to make myself even move. At least I've gone back to work, maybe that'll help. He goes back to the doctor tomorrow and then he should be able to start trying to eat soft foods. May that'll help me get out of this funk... Anyway I didn't do my O yesterday or today either. . , I'll try for tonight.
[size=huge] Let's hear some cheerleading here!!! or at least some butt kicking...[/size] anything to get me going again!!!
Barbg-consider this your official butt kicking ! Come on and do some O! You know how good it makes you feel afterwards. Plus you deserve that 15 minutes all to yourself. You have to stay strong and healthy for your hubby too and he needs to feel your energy for a quick recovery. Is this helping Barb? I hope so. I know how you feel. I've been there not too long ago. Just put the tape in and tell yourself, "if I don't feel like it I can quit after five minutes". I guarantee you will finish the tape. You've kept me going Barb and you got me started back with O! so now it's my turn to get you motivated. Post after you do O! I'll be watching.
Come on everybody. I know there are more cheerleaders out there that can help out Barb! Post and let her know how you're doing with O!
After I posted yesterday I went to my car and did just 5 minutes of the commuter tape. When I went back into the office I already felt much better. I'll do the video tonight Promise!
Hey Barbg,
I'm glad to see you're back on track! I've stumbled a little but I did O! this morning! I do feel better when I do O! on a regular bases, I just have to make sure to do it. I'm glad you are sticking in here with me. I know you have a busy schedule and I sure know the feeling! I'll try to post more often. I need the motivation and it's always great to come on here and see someone doing O! along with me! Keep it up Barb and I hope all is well with your husband.
Hey what happened to everyone else? Please check in I need the motivation!
Had several bits of bad news this week. The latest being oune of our longtime friends who started working for us about a week ago had a heart attact at work today. He's about 54 or so. he's doing pretty good right now, but I spent most of the day at the hospital with his wife. Then I went back to work. On the way home I put my Oxycise commuter tape in and Breathed.. Breathed...Breathed and I feel much better.
Barbg-sorry to hear about your friend. That always makes me take a look at myself and make sure that I'm keeping my body healthy. Which isn't always the case. I'm so thankful for O! just for that reason. It does calm you down a bit and help clear your head doesn't it? I hope your friend has a quick recovery.
Well I managed to do my O last night. I didn't get out of bed to do it this morning though but I plan on doing my commuter tape tonight on my way home from my son's practice. I've been stressing so much lately over finances and getting my son ready for graduation and then college. I just don't know where the money will come from for all of this. Being a single parent really sucks sometimes. I never realized how expensive senior year is. I had to pay $70 for grad night alone! My son has a job now but he's trying to save for a car so it will be easier at school for him. I'm sure everything will work out but right now it's got me frazzled Thanks for letting me vent everyone. Back to work to pay the rent which seems to keep going up every time I turn around.
Keep Oeing and please post. Me and Barbg need some motivation here !
At least we can thank her for getting US back in the grove. Don't haave much to say, the commuter tape has been my salvation these last few days, that's about all I've managed, but every little breath helps.
I decided that I like the regular series better than the easy does it series. It take 30minutes to do the EDI Videos,because they are so much slower, It's hard for me to spare 15 minutes some days.
Let's keep it up and keep each other motivated Rose, and maybe some day we will be supprised with someone else joining us.
