Evening Ladies...Another busy day and tomorrow looks the same as well as Friday. I can't wait for the weekend to get there so i can just stay HOME. Today was weigh-in day at WW. I was up 2lbs, but no surprise. Have given my self a swift kick and decided to stop counting points and do the core instead. I followed the core plan for dinner and felt much more satisfied. Jim had his first therapy session this afternoon, and can almost stand up straight.

Faye...Hope Jack's procedure goes well. Will keep you both in my prayers tonight and tomorrow as well. Wish you good luck following the South Beach Plan. You can do this!!

Well I need to get a few things done before I go to bed. Have to be up by 6 and get the girls moving. Chit chat with you all later.

Well gals, things could have gone a LOT better. The blockage is below his current stent and as such they could neither get a good ultrasound nor could the doctor even get a 1 mm wire through the catheter and the blockage so he has to have double bypass surgery. I guess the doctor said because he couldn't see to put another stent in he would be doing it blind and that would be too dangerous.

He sees the vascular surgeon on Tuesday for a consult. He had to have his neck veins ultrasounded too to make sure he has no blockage in his neck so he doesn't stroke out.

The money situation is going to be ugly, but looks like my dd and sil are going to pay our mortgage for a couple months until he can get back to work. With this, we may be able to eek it out ok if I make no mistakes and pay all the bills ahead through November. Thank God for the Navy Retirement or we would be totally sunk. We just have to get the doctor to wait until the 11th to do the surgery, which is a week from Monday.

Thanks for the prayers lady, I sure do need them. I am so ashamed that I have totally fallen apart with this and I wanted to be so strong for Jack and take as much burden off him as I could.

Hugs to you all! Faye
