Monday Roll Call

Good morning/day to all in IL. I am a little tired from yesterday still even though I went to bed at 9ish. We did a lot of walking while at the fair. I have an 'S load of work on my desk from the weekend and need to get to it.

What is going on in your world?

Hello everyone

Well another tiring weekend with my dad.  He is doing better and might finally be released from the hospital and will be on his way to a rehab facility....hopefully. 

This morning I woke up late because I forgot to turn on my alarm last night.  Oh well. 

I got to get going now.  I hope everyone has a great day.

I woke up thinking about you and your dad and his future. Dave's mom in the last 9 months was put in assisted living. You and your sister have a lot of homework to do. Fortunately for Dave his sister (who is the power of attorney) did all the leg work. If you need any info let me know.

I just got home a little while ago.  I took my dad to a really nice place called Tillers.  I got him settled in and all he did was complain.  He hated it. He said it was worse than the hospital...it really isn't.  It actually is a really nice place.  But he made it hard just complaining and complaining.  I know he doesn't mean to be difficult or hurtful.  As far as long term I think we might bring in some home health help.  I'm not sure.  I guess we have a lot of thinking to do.  What kind of info do you have? 

Good Morning!

4 weeks out from my surgery.WOW! Going to try and get all those little things done that I have been putting off. Will be going back to work either Wednesday or next Monday. I go to the surgeons office tomorrow for my followup.

Have a great day!

It just seems like yesterday that we all were in Streator just before your surger. WOW, 4 weeks.

Good morning Chris and IL friends.

I've been having a little fun trying on clothes. Even with the pre-op weight loss and post-op weight loss, I can see results. It's amazing.

Today I exercised on the elliptical - only the feet movement for 5 minutes. I asked my PA and she said it's ok as long as I don't do the arm movements. I am going for a walk after breakfast too.

Stopping by the Vitamin Shoppe for some protein drink, bars and shots. Then to Trader Joe's for some protein food shopping.

Goal for today - journaling my protein, carb, calorie and fluid intake.

Wednesday, I start with my new vitamin regime. Waiting for my order from Vitalady.

So things are good so far. Still hoping that my J-tube comes out next Thursday.

Have a wonderful day. It's sunny!

Keep up the good work and keep coming back to the board where we can support you.

Good morning IL~

I had a very non-eventful weekend and I like them that way!  Very relaxing!  Got the house completely cleaned and some crafts done with Maddie.  Dawns party sounded and looked like a hoot!  Maddie is finally going back to school.  WOW, she had the flu for 3 days!  YUCK!  My house is disinfected from top to bottom now!  Well, today hubby has off and we are going to go out and do some shopping and go to lunch.  I leave on Wed for the auction and won't be back till Sunday night.  Ryan took the time off of work so he can be with Maddie.  Enjoy today, it's going to be beautiful!  Try and get some exercise in...I ran 2.43 miles yesterday and going to try and get in 3 today.  Have a FAB day IL peeps!!!!

i notice that you travel a lot lately, is this for a job?  what do you do?
I'm glad that Maddie is feeling better too!  I have to tell you, Kim, that whenever I see a Disney show on tv, I think of Maddie and when she was visiting me at the hospital.  that was one of the very few highlights of my nightmare 2 weeks! 
have a great day!
