TUESDAY WHATS HAPPENING?

Sure do hope your last summer holiday week end was a good one. We didn't do anything really. Spent some time working on the guest house. Got the bathroom all painted , trim painted etc. want to take the big mirror in there down and put up a pretty little one. But the one that is there will have to do right now. Also got the bigger of the two bedrooms completely done too. Tomorrow I am going to get the curtains put up in the bedroom and then put up the new shower rod and new shower curtains up in the bath. Joe has a friend of his coming to help him to put in a new door to the outside on the back . Will make the place a lot cozier. And to help him put up one piece of sheetrock on the ceiling. Then the rest is getting things sealed and covered. Putting down underlayment all over the floors and then new tile . We are in the home stretch I think. Lol Pamela; did you get back to eating healthy yesterday? Hope so if you are planning on getting pregnant soon you need to be eating healthy David: I am doing better each day about getting all my water and protein in. today I had 2 protein shakes and 80oz of water. Then I also had 2 oz of cream of chicken soup Barbara: boy before long you will need the jogging suit to jog around that table too much lol Yes the additives to the water do make it go down so much better. I don't know what is wrong with the taste of water. I use to love it. Hey when you get done with your office you can come clean mine. I on the first day of the year I take all the papers in my present file and put them in a box and put them all in the shed. One of these days I need to go and throw away some of them. Does anyone know how long you are suppose to keep records for tax purposes? Sherr: big boulders are pretty expensive. But the construction firm that is building the subdivision in your neighbor hood may give them to you free if you go ask. And show them where you want them and why. That all the construction is causing problems to the corner of your yard. They might do it out of consideration for your property. Hope the test you go to do this next week turn out good and before you know it you will be post -op too. And complaining about getting in all your water etc. Brenda: Hey I got in a whole block today in my walk and then by this afternoon my knees were killing me. Did Dr. H. leave you with any pain meds at all? I was hoping that when I lost a little weight that my knees would get better but they haven't at all. I am wondering what sort of arthritis meds if any can be taken by post ops I know what you mean about forgetting to eat or drink it is an ongoing battle to remember to do all you are suppose to do. Well finally tomorrow the mail and the bank and the stores all will be open again. This will be a short week since one day is already gone from the week. Will close with this little tidbit: Remember if you love life, Life will love you back. LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS JAN

Good Morning Ya'll I trust everyone had a decent holiday weekend. Mine was nice quiet. My wife had to work so I just kind of relaxed and did a few things around here. Sunday we had a lil bbq which was nice, I bbq up some of the meat we got from Angel Food, had one of the steaks and it turned out really good. Im doing ok on my diet, I weighed over the weekend and have lost another 7lbs, that takes me down to 475lbs, just another 25 to go before surgery, woot woot!! I bought some more protien, I got the "Delicious Strawberry" this time, it is sooooooo good. I also bought some fresh strawberrys. I added a couple strawberrys into the blender with my protien and milk and it really was yummy!! Jan it sounds like your coming right along with your guest house, soon you can just sit back and enjoy it all. Well Im running behind this morning, I need to go on my walk and get some other things done, hope everyone has a good day!!! Bless ya's Andrew

Good Afternoon, Jan I'm glad to see your able to walk a little more. The only pain med he gave me was Roxicet in liquid form with no refills. I don't know about anti-inflamatory drugs if our new tummy could handle it, although he left me on my baby aspirin every day. But I know that's not like taking really strong arthritis meds. I am going to ask him when I go back what to take for pain, because I still have a lot of pain in my spine. I have already done my walk today, still only doing 30 minutes a day until doc tells me to walk more. Somedays I feel I could go a little farther, others not so much. Have a great rest of the day. Brenda

Hey Jan Hi to everyone, just popped in to say "HELLO" I had a quiet weekend, I didn't make it to church either, my ride wasn't going because she moved Saturday and so I just hung out Sunday, we really need a second car, my husband is still going to my former church and services times are slightly different. Making good head way with this office cleaning, sorry Jan can't come and clean your office you wouldn't be able to find anything seems like when I get on this kick watch out everything gets thrown out because I've kept it so long. I did get out today in this beautiful weather what a switch I walked to the end of my driveway and back so that's a start for getting out and walking :thumbsip:, sometimes I wish I had a beautiful countryside to look at but when you live in the city it's not all that pretty and then there are the cars that use my street for the Indy 500 (where is a cop when you need them?) Well I've rambled/vented whatever enough, so everyone have a great day. Are you having mood swings? God bless! Barb T. in KC
