[Sherry]

Mornin'

I'm getting ready to go back to the hospital.Forgot to tell you: Wayne's Dad is bleeding on the brain from bumping his head getting into his car.They said that it wasn't uncommon for his age. We won't know how he'll respond to the surgery until 24 hours later.Please pray for him.

Good News:

I lost another 2 lbs!!!!!!!! My total weight loss is 16 lbs!!!!!! Started March 17th at 191......Today it's 175!!!!!

More later......Have a great OP day!!

[Carol101]

Good Morning.

Sorry for not posting, just not getting on the computer at night it seems and I had to get up early 2 days in a row so I didn't get a chance to post in the morning.

Can I brag a bit?????

I have been OP now for ..... 10 WHOLE DAYS!! !! I am going to weigh myself tomorrow and I will let you know how I am doing. Cross your fingers for a nice weight loss for me. I am reallying feeling good about this now!

I went to garage sales yesterday and walked around for 2 1/2 hours so I guess I got my exercise in for that day!!

I was really concerned I wouldn't be able to walk for more than 30 minutes. Now that I know my ankle will tolerate walking, I am definately going to do more of it.

Now that I think I have the eating under control, it is definately time to add the exercise. Plus I am drinking tons of water. That is always a plus.

So I hope you don't mind me tooting my own horn, but it has been so long since I stayed on any plan for more than a day or two, I can't help it. :grin:

Sherry: I am so sorry about your FIL. How is he doing? He is in my prayers. But, don't forget to take care of you too! Get some rest.

Gayle: Granduations can be both exciting and stressful if you are a parent!! I really like the idea of redoing your daughter's room. I am sure she will love it!!! Great idea!!

Vicki: It is so exciting getting a new car!! Enjoy!!! You deserve it!!


Well, I have laundry, dishes, clean up house, etc. to do because I was gone most of yesterday. After the garage sales, I went and watched my granddaughers play in volleyball tournaments, so now I have to pay the piper and get some work done around here. But it was worth it!

Talk to you later!

Carol

[Jennelle]

Sherry - Wow, just from bumping his head on the car? I do that all the time. I guess I'd better start being more careful.

[gdeann]

Carol, I must tell you that your message sounded su upbeat today!!!! Congrats on the 10 days OP!!!!! You wanna send a little of that motivation this way???

Sher: I know your busy with FIL, so you might not check this. I'm saying a special prayer today. When I first read your note, I thought he had a cerebral hemorage (sp?) He must of bumped it fairly hard to have so much blood collecting on the brain area. Will he run the chance of any brain damage? Give Wayne a special hug from me and remember that your dad in-law and your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers.

[mzbhavin]

Sherry your FIL,Wayne and all are in my prayers. I know the tough time you are going thru and know that I am thinking of you.

I can be down in a jiff with my new car and help in any way. You have been there for me.

Lord, take this family in your arms and protect them and heal them at this time in their life. Help them to recover quickly from this untimely incident in their lives. Give Sherry and Wayne the love and guidance they need for their family.

Everyone have a good week.

Afternoon girls

I talked to Sherry alittle while ago, and Wayne's Dad is holding his own for now. He is still in ICU so they can watch him carefully. Sherry sounded exhausted. I think she is coming home around 8.00 after the last visit.

Sherry....Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or Wayne. WTG on the 2 MORE POUNDS!! 16 pounds is great!!

Carol...WHOO HOOO!!! 10 days OP!!! WTG!!! You are beginning to sound like the old Carol. Not old really, just yourself...LOL. Can't wait to hear the good news after your weigh-in!!

Vicki.....WTG on the new car!! No excuse now for not making a trip to Nashville this summer! Enjoy it, you deserve it!

Gayle... I think the redo on Liz's room sounds like a great gift. What are her plans for after graduation? I gave my kids money for their graduations, bet they don't know what they used it for today.

Dee. Shelley, Jeanne, Doni, Titan Dee... Hope you had a great OP weekend. Love ya!

We have been gone most of the weekend. Yesterday we helped my daughter and SIL hang siding. Well James cut the siding and I watched the babies. Today we spend the day with my Mom { her surgery is at 7am in the morning} So between visiting Mom at the hospital this week, taking care of Grannymom and doing things that James still isn't able to do, and working.....I will try to post!!!

Hugs...deb

[Titan Card Fan]

Sherry, our thoughts are with you and your FIL.

You, gals have been really busy with posting etc. I'm still not sure where last week went. Other than going to 2 mid-week auctions and one luncheon, I didn't do anything that time consuming but yes, with retirement you seem to stay busy. This week is major housecleaning as I will probably have company for the weekend.

Take care and I'll try to check in more often.

[Deelite]

Deb how did your mother's surgery go? I am thinking and praying for her. You guys sure had a busy weekend.

Sherry how is your father in law doing? I am praying for a speedy recovery. Make sure you get rested up. I know running back and forth to the hospital is very tiring. Keep up the great weight loss.

Gayle redoing Liz's bedroom is a great idea. It is something that she really can enjoy. A piece of jewlery is alos a nice keep sake but you can't really enjoy it.

Vicki congratulations on the new car. It is nice to zip around in.

Carol 10 days on program I am so happy that you are motivated and doing so well. Keep posting here and we will keep you inspired.

Well I am waiting for my Mom to call. I believe she has a new blood clot in her leg. She was going in this morning to get her blood tested and I told her to ask the doctor for a cat scan. Her leg is swollen more than when she was hospitalized and it is also warm where the swelling is. Not good.
We had a nice day with her yesterday. We went to the legion for the afternoon and had lunch there. There was a silent action. We walked away with a few prises. I won the door prize which was a potted african violet. The I won dinner for two at a restaurant and Larry won a hamper basket from Old Dutch potatoe chips. Many different types of chips. Of course we won the food, excluding the flower but I guess if I got really hungary I could eat that too. My mom won a pic of the San Fransisco bridge. She really wanted that prize so I am glad that she won it. She also won a golf shirt and mug. So we walked away with lots of goodies.
Well I guess I better get some work done. Hope you all have a good day.

[Carol101]

Okay ladies.. are you ready.. Drum roll please.....

I HAVE LOST 7 LBS!!

I can hardly believe it! What a wonderful way to start the week! :

Sherry: How is your FIL doing?

Dee: Your mother?

Debbie: Your mother and Wayne?

So many of us with members of our families having health issues. You are all in my prayers. As I am sure you could all use a hug right now too. Here you go...

Gayle: I wish I could send you some of my motivation, but I am not sure I have much to spare. It took me forever to find mine... I just pray every day that it doesn't go away.

Jeanelle: You are doing so great too. Keep up the good work!!


I had my final physical therapy today for my anke. They tell me my mobility is really good now. I just have to keep exercising it and it will keep getting better. I am going to try the treadmill for a few minutes tonight. I can hardly wait to get back on it!

Everyone have a great evening.

After work, Wayne & I went to the hospital. We just got home.His Dad is doing as well as to be expected .He's on so much medication he's talking crazy a lot but the Dr. said that this was normal.He may go to a regular room tomorrow.He's still in ICU. Thank You so much for the thoughts and prayers.I really, really apppricate them.

I talked to Debbie today and her Mom came through surgery good. She had knee surgery done at 7:00 a.m. Debbie....I love you and please take care! If you need me....I'll be right there!! Also, Please don't run yourself down.I'll try to stop by the hospital tomorrow after work before I go to the other hospital to see Wayne's Dad.

CAROL........WTG!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! I'm soooooo proud of you!!!! Remember....7 lbs. gone forever!!!!!!!!!!

To Everyone else: I love you and take care!!!!!

Yesterday was 6 weeks that I have been OP!!! So that makes today being "DAY 43!!!!" I still can't believe that I've only had WATER in 6 weeks....NOTHIN' else!!!

Gotta get busy before I pass-out!

Hugs.........

[DebbieA]

Hi Girls

I just got home from the hostipal and Mom is doing so good. In a lot of pain but came through the surgery great! It is going to be a long road for her getting well but they are so hopeful that she will be walking {without pain} for many years to come. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers. I believe prayer really works!!

Sherry..... I'm glad Wayne's dad is doing better. Please don't get run down. WTG!! On the water thang!! and staying OP for 43 days!!

CAROL!!!!! WTG!!! WTG!!! I am so proud of you! Wayne??? James is doing so much better, even mowed grass today!! WTG JAMES!!! LOL

I have to ask everyone's opinion about something!! I kinda changed plans today. Anyone ever heard of low-carb food in a hostipal...LOL. SO....I ate low-fat today!! Is that legal and can I still say I was OP today? I weighed this morning and stayed the same But I refuse to get depressed !!

Sorry I just don't have the energy to post to everyone tonight...but I love you all!!

Hugs...deb

[Jennelle]

Debbie - I think the most important thing is that you made good, healthy choices with what you had in front of you at the time. After all, this is a lifestyle change; we can't expect that every place we go will support our personal plan. So I say, yes, you were OP today.
