My Update
Well first of all, I finally found all of you on the site. Right after the change, I could not find the March 2004 board. I waited a few days and just finished reading the post I have missed.
1) My plastic surgery got denied by the Insurance Company. They said it was cosmetic. Both my pcp and chiropractor disagree. I need to now call and find out what the appeal process is to rebuttal. I have an appoint ment with the plastic surgeon on May 22 and I hope he can also help me with therebuttal.
2) I too am gaining weight. I know it is the food that I choose to put in my mouth. I have started walking again and hoping I can go back to the healthier way of eating. I too am eating too many carbs.
3) My husband retires on Monday. We are in the process of updating the house, painting it, putting a roof on the pation. (Connie, hurry over to Florida, I need you.) We have made a shed into a Karoke room with everything but running water. He is also painting all the buildings to match the house. We have a big retirement party planned for Friday. Between people from work, the friends and family that are to attend, there should be a lot of people.
4) My aunt from Utah died at age 96 and she was brought to Florida for burial. As most of the aunts and uncles it was up to the cousins to pay our respects. We opened our home for a family reunion on Friday night, We had about 25 people here. (I told Alton it was a test run for his party.) All went well and we had a great time. It did not stress me out and I even worked that day.
5) My mom is in the nursing home and every day is a new day and a new problem. She has cirrohis of the liver and we can tell she is gaining fluid in the stomach area. My sister and I are really worried about her. She called me today and I picked her uo and took her to church with me and home for a late lunch.
Life is busy. I sometimes will take a moment to think of where I was 2 years ago. I am definitely healthier and happier.
OH Martha it was soon good to read your post. You sure are very busy and have a full life. Your family is in my prayers.
We are all in the same boat with gaining and carbs. I'm goign to try to stick to the fast track that one of our other marchers was typing about. i still get full and don't eat alot but sometimes I'm able to eat things that I shouldn't.
Today I visited a girlfriend who is ill. she's staying in a hotel in the middle of a big city becasue she can't drive. she has a broken leg. her law firm is paying for her to stay in this place while she heels and this way she is able to be at work becuase the place is right next to the firm! they have one of the lawyers come over in the moring to wheel her into work and anotehr wheels her back to the hotel at night. its a pretty fancy place. They gave her a 2 bedroom suite! it has a full kitchen bigger than my little condo kitecn with a diish washer stove fridge micro its a full working kitchen and the living room is HUGE! I've stayed with her a couple of weekends to take her out for her grocerys and to just get her out of the place. with her not being able to ddrive ad her children live out of state it makes for a very depressing weekend. we've been having a blast! i offered to break the other leg now that this one is heeling hahaha
BUt sorry i got off the subject. this morning when we went down to exteemly exciting complimentary breakfast they had a machine that makes home made waffles. oh my god! the whole room smelled wonderful. I had some scramble eggs then made one of the waffles. i only ate 1/4 of the small circle but i had regular pancake sryup i estimate it was about maybe a tablespoon with real butter pat on top. i have to say it tasted fantastic. within an hour just as i was pushing her wheel chair down a big shopping mall i started to sweat! my heart was pounding and i felt like i was having an anxiety attack. I was shaking and also felt very cold. it was my blood sugar. i drank a bottle water and didn't let her know how awful i was feeling. she didn't notice because she was just so excited to be out of the hotel room! it took about 1/2 an hour til i felt better. that syrup just wasn't good proably the waffle too. i don't eat that maybe bread kind of things. and i don't plan on doing waffles again!
it sounds like you have a wonderful retirement party all planned for Alton. He's a lucky man!
Hi Pammy,
That was dumping, not anxeity attack. You dumped on the sugar & the combination
of sugar & the carbs. It sometimes up to an hour after you eat for the dumping to
hit. So I would say stay away from real sugar. Those little reminders someitmes are
a good thing for sure.
