Good morning all,
Another hot one out there! I am off today and tomorrow, YEAH!! Next week is the last week for summer school and then off till August 16th!
So I have decided to go back to my hometown for my high school reunion. I am nervous to say the least! I need to up my excersising and get ready for the trip. I have a train ticket I bought from last year so I am going to use that. The train ride is 13 hrs but it is all at night. I will sleep the whole way!! I leave Chicago at 9:30 and will arrive in Syracuse a little after 11:00am! Not to bad. Plus I will load up my Ipad with movies and books and I will be all set!
Today I am cleaning up my kitchen. With 2 labs it is amazing where one can find dog hair!!
Then later off to the ice rink. Temps over 90 equals free skating!!! Since we have skates we are good to go.
Stay hydrated like Randy and Lisa say! Keep cool! Lower temps are on the way!

HI all,
I hope you all enjoyed your 4th.
Fireworks were cancelled in Sturgeon Bay due to a storm. I poured here in Door County last night. Egg Harbor had their fireworks on the 3rd so we still got to see some.
It is definately a challenge for me to not over indulge with food while on vacation! hot dogs, hamburges and brats are hard to resist. I start my 2 week pre-op diet on the 13th and for some reason I have the mentality that I should enjoy foods that I will no longer eat up until that date. Did anyone else feel that way? I have done so good with my diet and I feel so guilty when I stray from it.

Good morning friends!
We had a nice Fourth and went to friends to see the fireworks. We brought red, white and blue potato salad which turned out to be delicious.
Today seems to be a good day to take it easy.
As far as wanting to taste everything before the surgery--I think that is SO normal! In fact when we were in Door County I kept thinking "I wish I would've had THAT last year". It's all part of why we needed the surgery!

Good afternoon Randy and the rest of Illinois!
Back to work for two days then off again. I won't have full days either tomorrow or Monday. Liv gets her last ear check tomorrow before leaving on Sunday. I have a CT scan Monday afternoon and a visit with the ortho to see why my leg and ankle hurt SO much still. He thinks perhaps the bone isn't healed (possibly due to 2nd hand smoke from my workplace).
We are staying at the hotel where my brother works on Saturday night. That will make 3 hotels in 7 days for me. Not sure if that is good or bad. Since he works there (Hotel Sax) he got a a "Friends & Family" rate so that we do not have to get up so early on Sunday to get Liv to Midway. I am just afraid that even with the low rate, being downtown will wind up costing way too much $$$$. Oh well, I guess I should be quiet and enjoy it.
We went back to Milwaukee on Tuesday night and saw Joe Walsh while the kids saw "Skillet". It was hot and muggy but NOTHING like yesterday. We lazed around the hotel yesterday morning while I kept after the family to "go DO something". Once we got outside, I wanted to just go back inside! We went downtown to the Smoke Shack then home. It was WAY too beastly to do much else. The only fireworks I saw were on TV. Todd had turned off the air while we were gone and it took all night for the house to cool down. It was 86 in the house when we got home, but that was better than the 103 outside!
Our washer it out AGAIN! I am pretty sure we will be on the hunt for another one. Anyone have one laying around??????
Wveryone have a splendid day!

Afternoon Everyone!
Can we say HOT? Unbelievable. Cant wait for a break in the heat. It sure does not motivate you to want to go anyplace or do anything. I am thinking about going shopping to get that over with.
Not really doing anything today. Just too hot to move. Maybe I became a slug in this heat? The ac is working fine but just no motivation. But it is vacation so I guess that is ok.
Hope all are surviving this. Kevin, what you are experiencing is VERY normal. In fact it is dubbed the "last supper syndrome." The funny thing is that for the most part there is nothing you cant eat post op that you ate preop. Just different portions. Also, there are some foods that may not agree with you. For me it is really fatty foods like bacon, pork etc. I do rice and salads without a problem but did not restart eating those until at least 6 months out. Rice will still backfire occasionally if I eat too much of it. The real kicker is you really dont want half the stuff any more.
Stay cool everyone! Relief is in sight!
