Good Morning
I didn't really want to start this this morning, but I'm up and can't sleep. I've been pretty much awake since 3 am when I had to get up to potty. Then I just layed there thinking. Gary is coming up for the weekend so I've got to get some more things done today. Cleaning up clutter mostly. Cable and internet is being installed today so I've got to get my modem hooked up this morning. I tell you, the cable companies really rape you. They give you a fairly good deal for 6 months and then the bill goes up by a third. What I paid down state for my cable and internet is less than the introductory offer up here, and there's only one cable company up here, or you get Dish TV. Don't need that with all the snow we get, so they take advantage of us. No real choices. Well, I guess I could keep my rabbit ears with the aluminum foil on the tops and the HD box, but it goes to pixels all the time. We're stuck. I'm going down state on the 24th and won't be back here until the 5th or 6th. My son is having outpatient surgery and his wife can't clear her schedule to take him, so Mom to the rescue. She's squeemish and the last time he had surgery she couldn't bring herself to remove and repack the wound, so again, Mom to the rescue. On the 30th I'm leaving for PA for a dog show, so it doesn't make sense to come back here for two or three days.
Sorry people, I don't have a Five for Friday list, so maybe someone else will come up with them.
Post away and have a great beginning to what appears will be a beautiful weekend!

HI Jani Have a good weekend w/ Gary. You be safe when you do that traveling.
QOTD: Make your own frive for friday and answer them.
who is the most influential person in your life?.
Mine would have been my Father. He had an 8th grade education. Worked in the coal mines of PA. Still managed to start a business, raise a family and deal with all the trial and tribulation of or family.
2. What was the best advice a stranger gave you? Did you follow it?
Mine came from a Fleet wood Mac. "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow". That is my drive in life. Some days that is all I have.
3. Did you have a hero when you were growing up? And did that hero remain on that pedestal or all from it in shame?
My Shero was Princess Dianna. She still remains on the pedestal for her good works in life.
4. Do you believe in Angels? have you ever had one? If you could how would you thank Him/Her?
I was laid off form my job and someone came to me and was so excited that they got newly hired at the same company. Well I had been laid off for awhile (8Y's.) so I went to the head quarters of the company. The secretary of HR said that they found my records and that it said I was employed in a different state and listed as active and working. Well in about two days I was back to work. If I could I would tell that person how grateful I was and give them the biggest hug they have ever had. Thanks angel.
5. Free for all. You can just discuss any thing that makes you happy.

I just went for medical clearance on Wednesday. Everything is fine except she wants me to have a stress test.
As you know Mary, I also see Dr. Carlin on the 25th but I can't remember when your appt is. Mine is at 10:20. It sounds like it will be a long day.
I will not have lost 10 lbs so I don't know if they'll schedule a surgery date or not.

I have medical clearance on Sept 22 @ 9A.M. then I see Dr Carlin on Friday Sept 25 @ 9:40 A.M.
Wanda said don't worry if you don't lose the weight Just don't gain any.
so, Take it for what its worth.
You still have time to try to lose some of that.
This is called the detox diet. It is good for a couple of lbs.
Just eat Protein and salad or green vegetables, and drink nothing bu****er.
Count your protein and make sure you get at least 80 grams.
limit all salt intake. (Try no salt or some other salt substitute . Mortins is a good one)
You can track your protein in the health tracker for a few days
remember to write everything you eat down.
tip: no eating or drinking 6 hours before you go to bed for the night.
What did the medical clearance in-tail?

She just went over the questionnaire we had to fill out and asked questions about pertinent stuff. She looked over my EKG and chest X-Ray along with the blood test results.
She said my EKG was not normal but it could be from Sleep Apnea. She wanted the stress test to be sure. I do go to a cardiologist every six months and they do an EKG each time. I'm not worried about it because my heart doctor is not worried.
I will try your suggestions on the diet. Thanks for encouraging me. Maybe I'll see you Friday.

OK I will keep my eyes peeled for you.
I will probably be coming out when you are going in.
I will be the happy one with a date for surgery.
I will most likely ware My black pants and black shirt with white designs swirly designs on it.
After I have to go to the pharmacy to get some 50000 Iu D3 , the iron they suggest and the flavorless protein powder they carry there. oops sorry multi tasking her grocery list.
I did that detox diet for three days and lost about 10 lbs .
I have lost a little over 10 lbs since my first apt. and have pretty much been loosing since orientation by just following the 80gm of protein rule and no sugar, no soda, drinking 8 glasses of water a day and getting in 8fruits and veggies daily. I am hoping to be down a total of 50 lbs by the second apt, since I started this in June.
Al else fails you will lose the 10 lbs during the Pre-op diet.

Yep - you're right - the cable company has us by the b**ls up here, along with gas company's, grocery stores, etc. You'll find you'll pay more for stuff at Meijers here than you did downstate. Even WalMart's prices aren't the same between here and downstate.
Yea, I got the introductory rate too for the cable when I moved... when it goes up I may change my package. I'll just have to cut out/miss some of the channels I like. I'm finding I don'****ch as much TV anymore anyways.
