WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY
THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR HEALTH IS TO , EAT WHAT YOU DON’T WANT, DRINK WHAT YOU DON’T LIKE AND DO WHAT YOU RATHER NOT:::
QUOTE BY :::::MARK TWAIN.
Was reading some of his quotes and thought wow that really pertains to us after surgery, eat what you don’t want ::::Protein and vitamins
Drink what you don’t like:::::protein drinks and water
And do what you would rather not::::::exercise...
Now how did he know that would or could be our mantra?
It looked so pretty outside th,at I finally went out and walked , I got so cold and I knew I would before I went out. That now my back, hips, knees, ankles, wrists and fingers hurt so badly, I took a long hot bath to try to warm up but it didn’t work. Now the pain has set in...darn...i will just have to stay inside when it ts cold I guess.
I don’t have a lot to say tonight , just complain about how much pain im in...i did take a couple of Nsaids with some stomach pills too. So far that much hasn’t helped. Will wait another couple of hours and do it again. Just have to be careful ...
I have got to go see my pcp tomorrow morning to pee in a cup. Lol they want to check my urine again since I have been on antibotics for the last 10 days.for a UTI it feels like it is gone but who knows. Didn’t feel like it before either and I did have so guess I cant tell too well huh?
TAMMY V:::::: so sorry to hear about your bil that is a sad note isn’t it? I always hate to see people get put on a ventilator if they aren’t going to get well. But then I guess there is no way that we really know that , is left up to God.
I know you have been having a good time with your grandsons.
You said you wish you would get out of the weight you are in....are you doing all you are suppose to be doing. 80 grams of protein , at leat 64 oz of water. And exercise...and getting in all your vits.> if you aren’t doing all of that then you need to do it so you will lose. Is good to get on here and see you on ...have missed you ...
SUGAR::::: well did you run all day again today? It sure was cold out there today even if the sun was shining wasn’t it?
I have decided what I am bringing to the party for my food ...will be a curry and shrimp soup...yummmy...
Don’t have our gifts bought yet tho. And trying to figure out what I will wear. To be festive and bright. Lol
That is what I hate about Christmas too ....the being so rushed and feeling like you forgot someone or something.
We will be having our Christmast with all the kids and grandkids here at the house on the 27th Sat. that way there will be no conflict with other things going on.
Well I see you haven’t gotten on and posted again so I can figure that you have been running all day today.
ANDY::::: thanks for walking with me this afternoon. It was so cold but I was determined that since I got you to walk with me that I was going to fini****
You are doing a great job doing the backsplash on the cabinets.
I will tell my daughter about seeing if she can get a scholarship or something for some online classes.
Hey I just happened to think of something about the computer satellite...talk to you about it..
Also are you all going into town in the morning? Call me before you go. Ok? I have a question for you .
VESTA::::::are you planning on coming up to the Christmas party? Sure do hope so.
If you need to stay over night you can stay at our trailer ok?
Will be keeping Linda in our thoughts and prayers ...hope she will be ok.
Im like Peggy the thought of you running thru the house neked to the hot tub is sort of funny..lol
I will also pray that you get to come up on the 22nd. Did you get the pumkin roll rec?
BARBARA S:::::: I know what you mean ...winter is like that , same thing day after day.
You said that you would be coming down to the Christmas party too. Isn’t that right? Will your hubby be coming with you?
Did you get the roll up and the soufflé recs? I posted them by their selves that way you have it here now.
We will be looking for you on the 22nd.
SHEILA::::::::well shake me up and call me fissy....lol I thought you had flown the coop.
I am so glad that you got back on today. ...we have missed you too.
So what has the doctor said about your collar bone? I sure don’t know if I would let them break it and make it heal all over again tho. Does it hurt you?
Do you think you will be able to get to the Christmas party on the 22nd. ? sure hope so. It will be in the Calvary Baptist Church on highway 60.
Let us know . we are still keeping you in our prayers.
BEC:::::: oh thank you for the treadmill , let me know what you want for it. Ok? Since Andy is coming up on the 9th maybe he can get it in his big ole trunk to brink back down. Ok he has one of those huge , big hide bodys in trunks. Lol
I am so thrilled for you to be able to get out there and walk every day. I was like that once when I didn’t have the pain that is execrated by the cold.sure wish I was your age again lol heck I would trade ages with just about anyone on here.
So I guess you never made it back lol
SUSAN::::: sorry I couldn’t get out and walk with you and Andy this morning. It looked pretty out there but I just know it was really cold this morning early.
Susan you are in for a treat to spend some one on one time with miss Bec. She is a hoot.
You just have to do one thing for me when you get up there. Give her a hug when you get there.
PEGGY::::: ohhhhh love the new picture. Don’t you just love the protein coffee. So very good especially during this cold weather.
Well since I intend out living all my kids then they wont have to clean up after me. Lol so that is solved about the magazines....
SANDY:::::: im so glad that you enjoyed your trip but sorry that you are now sick...so you have to stay home till you are well now? Will keep you on the prayer list girl . let us know how you are doing.
LOU:::::: yes you will probably be down more than 50 in another day or so... congratulations we are going to claim 50 anyway. Lol
Yes don’t you love the fruit smooties? That is how I do my protein shakes. I love strawberries so that is what I make mine. Have for 2 years at least 2 times a day, haven’t gotten sick and tired of it yet. Keep up the good work on the exercise, and just think what a good example you are sitting for your daughter. Oh yes how about some of the low carb receipes...
KAT//!!!!!!!OMG:::::::: I thought you had gone for good , will wonders never cease ...bless your heart .lookes like you have done great after your surgery. Wow I remember 2 years ago and how bad the weather was ....anxious to hear all about what has been going on,Welcome little one.
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS

Doing good here. :) Just found out yesterday that my 2nd grandbaby will be a boy! He's due in April 2009. My hubby works for Chrysler (for now) and is going to take the buy-out they offered. We'll find out later this week or next if he actually gets that. So big changes for our family with him now needing to find other work.
Other than that, everyone is well and doing good!

I was able to sleep pretty well last night,guess the weather helped. I sure wish they coulds find a cure for arthritis. I am having trouble motivating nyself to exercise. I have never liked it and I know I have to do it but its hard to get started.Whatever I do will be inside. I can't walk on the roads around here. I have a great treadmill so I can't use that as an excuse. I just can't seem to get started.
Not much else going on around here which is a good thing. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 13th@ Karen's.
Good Morning Mimi ~ and Missouri,
I didn't make it back yesterday I got busy out in the garage and the day got away from me... ~ it was so warm I needed to "make hay while the sun was shining" ~ha
I got the treadmill pulled out but not plugged in to see if it works... I think it does but need to dust it and give it an all around look see. You don't worry one bit what I want for it...I've already been paid many many times over! I also have to look up the paper work for it... to give to you too.
Boy what you opened the post with was ever so true... we do have to do those things! And it's not an option either! But oh how wonderful how much healthier we truly are! I'm like you I'm going to live a long long time should the Lord tarry and Lord willing see my daughters and grands succeed! ~tee hee
I have been up and moved furniture around and vacuumed the house... I need to get some work done before some dear folks get here for me to torture!!! ~tee hee Oh how wonderful it is to get to meet yet another fellow WLS'er!
I had a wonderful walk yesterday and am going to make a post about it... maybe when I get back from today's walk. I dearly love it when the Lord speaks into my spirit in such a real way... I've had it happen a few times in my life and yesterday was one of them. I've been rejoicing at the message of hope He gave me to share with you all. And at such a good time of the year when it can be so difficult.
I want to respond to each but don't have the time at this moment... I will do it soon tho.
Mimi ~ I want to thank you again, I know I have in the past but I want to especially thank you for all the time you spend each day giving of yourself... I know how long it takes me to do what I do and I know you do much much more! Your rewards are not here my friend but my goodness what you have to look forward to!!!
I'm so sorry you are in so much pain! And you should give yourself a break on the exercise... just do what you can and leave the rest up to the Lord....He will bless you and honor your efforts I just know He will!
There is NO WAY I could do what I'm doing now if it wasn't for the BIG ole dose of pain meds I take just before I exercise. I hate it that I have to take it but know I need to take advantage of this "honeymoon" period... so the doc's say take it and exercise. I know it sounds off but I'm ever so thankful it is allowing me to get what I need to do done. Mimi you are doing fantastic for what you deal with... take heart my dear angel lady!
Love you,
Bec
Hey Traci good to see you its been awhile....
Peggy I thought I heard someone laugh and I run faster getting back in the house than getting out, a jiggle here and a flop there wasn't a pretty site...lol....
Remind me again the date Jan I may just drive up, and I could be almost home before I got to your house, I am about 90 miles away give or take a few..but tks so much..Virg and I really enjoyed staying there and want to do it again sometime..
Well the paper called they have finely got the print ready on our place in the paper, when it comes out I will put it on here...
love ya all....vesta

Dont you just love Mark Twains wisdom? His words are so true and down to earth.
No I never had time to get back on and had forgot that I had Kindred Hearts last night (the ladies bible study that you and Susan went to with me last month) It was our Christmas one and I had to fix food to take, wrap a gift to exchange and one for the Pregnancy Care Center. But we had fun and enjoyed ourselves.
This is going to be quick because I have another busy day of running and gotta get it started.
Everyone have a great day and we will talk to you later (hopefully)
Bec, I cant wait to hear your words from the good LORD!
Jeannine, WHEEEWWWWWWWWW! Glad your back! Missed you and you too Shiela and all the others that just popped out of the wood work! lol
LOVE YA ALL!
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR 
A little quiet here today and cold! Did I mention that I HATE being cold? I so remember the fat days when I would spend all winter without ever wearing a coat and now I can't even stay warm INSIDE the house. I think we all remember this.
My heart is heavy yet again this morning....seems like the cold is bringing out the depression in everyone. I'm not sure, but I think my son broke up with his girlfriend...this actually is a good thing....but I'm sure it could get ugly. She's young and has a few mental issues and it was an unhealthy relationship. I had tried to talk with him about her and finally had to get blunt and I assume he finally listened. Yet my heart breaks for him. I just pray she doesn't do something stupid. Once again, every decision can impact the rest of your life.
I ran around like a mad woman yesterday...so today is focusing on this house. I have GOT to get done, but I just can't motivate. Today seems better so I should make some progress.
Looks like many of you are so busy....thanks for posting on here so I can attempt to keep up with you all. It's hard to remember everybody. Tracy, Bev in KS, Kat, Sandy, Jeanine, Tammy V, Sheila and many more ....so many have been not well, or traveling or just super busy. We also have new losers and soon to be losers.
Have a good day everybody...I need to get busy.
Life isn't about about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Well yet another drama going on on the soga of redoing my bathroom....Went to paint the ceiling and all was fine till I went to pull the roller back and the popcorn stuff, for lack of a better word, came with it!!! What a freaking mess I have now and with only 2 days to fix it!!! You know all I wanted was, wallpaper off and a fresh coat of paint....fix the tiles and be done....but NO....cant get replacement tiles, so they had to come off and now the ceiling. I dont think the ceiling has been painted since the original coat!!! So hopefully that will be done before Mom gets here on Sunday.
Been trying to get things done, but just dont have any energy. This Liquid things not to bad, just boring. But only a few more days and I too will be on the bench and on my way to healthy and happyness...lol Let hope!!!
Anyway hope everyone is staying warm and staying healthy with all the crud thats going around. Have a great day and be good....

Dear Auntie Jan and OH Family:
Im going to make this quick. Not feeling so hot today. Tummy pain and arthritis pain and I am giving in and spending the rest of the day laying around. Dont even have the will to fight it. Think that I need to just kick back, with the heating pads and TRY and feel better.
I had so much to do today too-ARGH! I cant get warm, no matter what-and its colder outside than in here by far! I almost feel flu-ish, you know, when you CANNOT get warm? (then my bones get cold and the party is over...cant get them warmed up for anything-just like Jan said!) *sigh* Im dressed in sweats and flannel and big fluffy slippers too......gheesh..... This weather too! We are suppose to get rain and snow today! The rain has started, they say by afternoon, its gonna mix with snow.....and its gray and crappy looking out again and windy. This weather isnt even fit for the birds!
I really want to say that I thank you guys that responded to me-about the prayers. I know I am a child of God too-and that I do deserve prayer too-I didnt mean it to sound like that, I just know that there are so many with greater needs than mine.....thats what I meant....Anyway....
That brings me to my next subject. AMEN for Tammy and her good news!!!! AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!! Also-so glad Jeanine is back on! That girl is gonna pay for my next box(s) of Clairol, thats for sure! Well, she can split the cost with Tammy and Renee!!! LOL.....
Renee NEEDS our prayers now, Peeps! She had a mammo last week and they found something so she goes in for her f/u tests tomorrow morning. She has had so much going on-and some financial stuff too-just pray that that situation hurrys up and gets straightened out. Her cousin also lost her house and everything in it, in a fire on Monday! Her toaster started the fire-like it never shut off or something! Anyway-so there has been a lot going on there-between her tests, the wedding, the finances-the fire and so on-you can imagine. If we all rally around and pray-I KNOW it will get better. Thanks.
Then, yesterday-I had to run to Neosho. Mike was at his dr. appt-so we met up with him there and went to get his scripts filled. Went to return a couple of movies that were due today (I know this is BAD, but whenever Movie Gallery has a gauranteed movie-and its not in, whether or not I would have rented it, I have them put the free coupon on my acct, so when it is in, I get it for free-LOL)-and when we were leaving-the wind caught their big old heavy door-and smacked Jonathan right across his forehead (those metal bar handles on the door) and knocked him to the ground. Usually if he gets hurt-he WILL NOT let you baby him-but it was quite the opposite yesterday, I picked him up (yes, I paid for that too-but what do you do?) and he would not let me go. He buried his head in my chest and bawled his little head off....and holy crap! His forehead was huge and it wasnt 10 minutes later, he couldnt even keep his eyes open. His little head was like a weeble wobble....So-off to Urgent care. Slight Concussion. By the time I got to Urgent care-I was ready to tell them to admit me somewhere myself!! Psych ward maybe? Heck-no-nevermind....pain something?
Anyway-brought my sweet lil' son home and we hung out here-Just had to watch him to make sure he didnt try and fall asleep. Poor lil' guy kept saying he had a headache......plus it hit him across the bridge of his nose-so that was all swelled up too! He was just so sweet and I just felt so bad. I kept telling him I was sorry he got hurt and he would say-well, mommy, you dont have to be sorry, it wasnt your fault-and I said, I wish Mommy could take it away from you.....then he was like-well, then YOU would be hurting even more mommy, and I dont want that-so I will just keep it, okay? I said, mommys dont like it when their kids are hurt-ever.....he says-How do you know? Cuz I am a mommy and I dont like it! LOL....
**Jan-I didnt get my call until yesterday, IF you would believe it-WHILE I was at Urgent care! I was having a phone appeal for my disability and the situation with Eric! Will be having it today this afternoon instead. Im pretty frustrated today. Please keep the prayers coming. I will keep you posted on going to Branson. Love you guys.
**Sug-I hope all goes well for your party tomorrow. Love ya!
**Colette, your in my thoughts and prayers-along with your friends family! THANKS for the nice post to me, and thanks sooooo sooooo much for praying for me and my family! I appreciate it so much! Please let us know how your doing!
**Sandy-Im so sorry your sick. Your in my prayers too! I hope you feel better soon!
**Sheila-So good to see you back! Geez, I am praying about everything your going through! Love ya buddy!
**Tammy-WOOOO HOOOOO!!! THANK GOD~ Im soooo glad! Love you girl. I understand that there isnt enough money for the holidays, much less adding a car expense like tagging it to it! Miss you and cant wait till you do get to come stay for a couple of days.
**Bec-I cannot wait to see your post about your walk and the Lord! Im excited to see it! Love ya.
**Peggy-Im sorry-I totally understand about the depression! I will say extra prayers for you! Love ya!
**Traci-I wondered what happened to you! Take care and HOPEFULLY we will see more of you! Missed ya!
**Cor-RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER NOW~ YAYAY I CANNOT WAIT! Love ya!
**Deb (pooh)-How are you? LOVE LOVE LOVE your place! Send that into the home channel!! you could win, Im telling you! Love you and miss you!
**Deb D-How are you doing? Did David get that job? Praying he does. Love ya.
**Barb-Everything going ok with you? Hope so!
**everyone else-Sorry, My mind isnt working-it just wants to go lay down on the couch with the heating pads.... Just know I love you all and think of you often! Have a good day! Love, Janet
Hope y'all have stayed warm today, it wasnt to bad I guess this morning but seemed like the afternoon got colder when it started getting windy and it started raining good. Had a really busy day running errands, didnt think it would take us all day cuz we really didnt have all that much to do but by the time we went one place we'd think of another place we had to go to quick, ai yi yi. Im so tired tonight Im fixin to go to bed after I post this. I got a call yesterday from MoBar, I have all the test scheduled they want me to get finally, dunno how we're gonna do it except trust in the Lord, its gonna be a busy busy month I guess. I have an appointment on Dec 9th for a Cat-Scan at 8am then for a psyc. eval at 11am and have to see the Nutritionist at 2pm, then off to stay the night with Bec, w00t w00t we are SO looking forward to that, then visit Cor the next morning, what a busy time thats gonna be, then I have to go back up on Dec 18th for an EDG and Upper GI, this day we'll use the medicate ride service which will be such a blessing, then back up there again on Dec 22nd, Susan has her first appt with Dr Fearring and I have a follow up appt with Dr. Suttemoller to go over all the test results, there's another blessing, Susan getting in to see the surgeon already, they had told us at the seminar that not to expect to get in to your first appointment before february. So see, we are just blessed by God all over and really dont even realize how blessed we are, wow!! Well anyway I better get this posted before Jan posts Whats Happening Thursday LoL Y'all have a blessed nights sleep.
