Hey y'all--SO GLAD the week is over in a few hours! It's been a **** of a couple of weeks. I saw my orthopaedic doc yesterday, and he said my shoulder is doing great, but still needs some work. He gave me a pulley to use as therapy and to see him again in four weeks.

My boyfriend's son is recovering from his accident. His jaw is broken in two spots and his tongue was severed about 75% on the end of it. He was hit directly in the face with a hard plastic bucket that was used to catch condensation from a compressor. (He works in the plant where my BF works as a mechanical engineer.) He needs surgery to repair his jaw, then they will wire it shut while it heals. So far there hasn't been a surgery scheduled, but it should be very soon.

Then to top it off, I got word from my OBGYN that my Pap smear came back abnormal, and the doctor want to perform a colposcopy to determine what the abnormal cells are--benign, pre-cancerous or cancerous. "Luckily", I have been fanatical about reguar Pap tests, so if it is cancer, it is caught early and recovery chances are excellent. I've had a coploscopy before and it was determined that the cells were not cancer at that time. NOT a fun procedure, by the way.

Believe it or not, I'm not worried about what the results are right now. I know that whatever the outcome, I can get through it. I have a wonderful man by my side that will give me all kinds of great support, plus I have wonderful friends--in real life and online.

Geez, I didn't mean to ramble on like that....have a great OP day, y'all!

HI Jeanette, wow you have a lot going on right now. I hope your BF son will be OK, that is awlful what happened to him. They can do such wonderful things with surgery now...hopefully he will end up fine.

I have had that proceedure years ago and turned out fine and no it's not fun! Try not to worry as the last one was good, a lot of times those pap smears are wrong and your right if it is anything they will catch it very early.

Couple of years ago I had a colonoscopy and had 3 polyps removed and he said 2 of them would have been cancer in two years. So all these test are really life savers.
Hang in there and keep up the GREAT attitude.

Hi everyone,

Jen -- so sorry to hear about BF son! It sounds aweful!!!

Phyllis -- It looks like you are doing well OP!!! Congrats on only eating 1/2 of your dinner out. Way to go!!!

I am up another .5 pound to 143 again. I managed to do my cardio and weights yesterday! Again today....

I am up a pound today so Anita I feel ya pain! I am doing cardio but this week a lot less with my mom having the kids. I dont get to work out afterwards due to the fact she wants me to pick them up right away. Oh well. Too bad I couldn't get in a 15 min workout in - but those days I would have to leave early.

Jen I am sure everything will go well. And I was in shock when I read about your BF son. How aweful he has to deal with that. I hope everything will be okay.
