Topic: Sunday Check In
Good morning everyone. Sorry I was absent last week, but here I am today! We are having the hottest weather in Chicago this weekend. It is the hottest in the passed 3 years. before surgery, I wouldn't even venture out in this kind of weather, Now, even though it's almost 100 degrees, I can tolerate it. How a little weight loss changes everything. It's nice to still have some AHA moments. I am holding my own although everyone has lately been telling me that I look thinner. I'm not losing weight but maybe inches,,I'll take that. I hope to hear from alot of our Ateam this morning.
And how was your week?

hug right about now Topic: RE: Hip Replacement
I am so sorry u r needing to have a hip replacement.
I decided that when I was getting so big like all the pts i was transporting for the ambulance company was for hip problems pts and weight related and it was a strong drive to help me lose weight as my hips were just killing me. I guess u did not dodge the bullet on this one.. Ugh but u will be well on your way to less pain and getting around better. I know we all are greatful for losing the weight but some of us have to deal with the lasting effects of obesity . Talk about paying the piper.. Getting old sucks

Topic: Hip Replacement
Hi Everyone I just want to give you an update on my health..Most of you know that I have now lost 135 lbs. I am now having hip problems it turns out I need left hip replacement surgery on August 11, well they found out through blood test that I may have an infection in that hip and so on Monday I have to go to Hartford Hospital and have fluid taken out of the left hip to see if there is infection...by the way they take the fluid out by a looooong needle then they will let me know if my surgery date will need to be changed or not... (I just got the call there is no infection and the surgery is still on for Aug 11 I will be in HH until the Friday Aug.14th then I will be going into Woodlake Nursing home for 10 days - 2 weeks for the Rehab....

Dee u r not the downer of the group... I have the title crown on this with all my drama but now if u want runner up u got it.. LOL Joking Man it sounds so sucky with hubby losing his job been there done that situation 3 times and yes can be very scarry. I know u can sometimes contact the drug manufactors and explain the situation and see if they can give u the meds for free or reduced cost, I know stalling or even gaining weight can get to your psychie and send u in tail spin. I felt like running away and sometimes we all really need to lick out wounds and come back with renewed strength with in.. we are losers and even tho we may not make it to goal we r far better off then we were april 07, We all will fight the battle the rest of our life, But this time we have each other threw the up downs of weight loss
hang in there,, u have been so there for me ,, Hugs always

Hello Ateam
DId not weigh myself can't do it right now too much is going on and I can't think of that right now.
I might have a job working for dish network will find out tomarrow if I will get a interview. Lee is still pretty freaked out about losing his job and I am having a hard time dealing with the fact my sons medicine is 1200 a month and now no insurance.
I am going to start running/walking maybe that will help me clear my head and help with the fact I have no depression meds.
I will try to post more often I have a new goal I want to lose 50 pounds and if I do I will get either a new tattoo or my boobies pierced.
ok lee is screaming at the kids like always so I have to run interference

Hello Cindy & Everyone!
I am hanging in there at 161-162. I am trying so hard to get into the 150's. I will make it my August goal. I am keeping my new grandbaby while my DIL works. Between that, work, remodeling rental property and yard work....Why am I not a bean-pole? OH well, I do feel good and my Dr said he did not want me to loose much more (that was at 174). I am just enjoying life and trying to stay healthy.
You guys are still on my prayer list....
