WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY
Well none of you that have trouble taking your vits , or getting them all in ? answered me about what or why? How many and why are you having trouble? If you have to take two multi vits. Sit them up for breakfast and supper, with your extra iron at breakfast, take your calcium at noon and and at afternoon snack ...
Oh was going to ask you that are having trouble with being nauseated ....are you taking a super B Complex? I had that problem until I started taking that....and it totally went away after one dose....i still get to feel that way if I run out for a day....it really worked for me. And for most people that I have seen...
Sure didn’t do much yesterday.....cleaned out a couple of flower beds of things that are coming up like the daffodils....and tulip beds....i have got to get something to scare off the deer, they are eating my tulips out front ....wonder if I put some lights out there it would keep them out of the beds? Maybe some of those motion detector lights , really bright ones. Or maybe the water squinters’, that are motion detectors. My dog, Rebel is getting older and I don’t think he hears them too well anymore. Or just decided that he runs them off they just come back lol
SUSIE:::::; sure wish I could have come up to see you on Saturday but am having my great granddaughters birthday party here Saturday. She is two now....such a ham....wish you all could see her...she is one of those two year olds that comes up with all sorts of things to say and is a loveable doll.
How did your day go yesterday with the fifth graders? I love that show are you smarter than a fifth grader....lol sometimes im sure not.
SUSAN:::::: I sure am glad that we didn’t get those storms last night...the rain since it looked like it all day yesterday would have been nice...but hate storms....especially at night...or rather really bad winds...i guess I like to see any destruction that might come my way lol
Thank you for asking me to be your Angel....of course I am really proud to be .... I have some little gifts over here for you too. Will bring them over today to you....
I am always glad to see Feb. leave....March just sounds like winter is over ...lol
I forgot to ask you how your knee was doing? I hope it is all better before you have surgery....so you can get back on the treadmill....
I know what you mean about the not drinking right before or right after a meal...i almost have to have a sip during my meal most times , I have such a dry mouth and almost no saliva so if I don’t take a sip and I mean tiny sip during meals I will get choked , so I try to have only a tiny bit of water on the table in front of me that way I don’t drink more than I should during a meal....
Tell me more about this man that is becoming more than a friend....let me know how the date went...
ANDY::::: almost forgot to answer you... I think that is the most loveable thing I have ever heard any husband doing , with you going on the liquid diet with Susan....what a guy...I know Joe loves me but I don’t think there is anyway in the world he would ever do that for me. Lol
You know probably times that you do overeat is probably when you are stuck in the house and maybe don’t get to walk ....you make me ashamed of myself about not getting out there and walking with you ...but I don’t think my knee would take it...i walked all over the place in AZ up and down mountains and it didn’t hurt a bit but it hurts all the time here...the one I had surgery on gets sore but the left one just doesn’t want to work and really hurts most of the time.
Your story about Rebel I love and I know how true it really is...he is a special dog for sure.
GOD BLESS
EXPECT A MIRACLE

It's cold here in Wichita was nice yesterday cold today where is spring????? I'm tired of this cold weather all this up and down stuff I just want it to be warm and stay warm.
I have been off work due to parent teacher confrences so I'm off for a week. I have been cleaning house, rearranging things and putting old things away. Guess you can say I have been spring cleaning!
If anyone is still interested in the Medical Alert Bracelets I posted about last week please let me know I have to order the plates soon if I'm going too. Several people said they were interested but I haven't gotten any responses after I sent out the emails. I'm going to give it one more week if I don't hear anything then I will go ahead and place my order for what I currently need.
Well, guess I better get back to my cleaning it's never ending it seems....... have a good day!
First off, let's talk vitamins. My surgeon has different requirements than some but it's still the same vitamins...just different amounts. He requires 1500 mg of calcium citrate plus vit D...that boils down to 6 caplets a day. I take 2 caplets 3 times a day. He also requires 2 multivitamins daily, b complex (I take 2), b12 once a week (sublingual) and usually iron in the form of ferrous fumarate (18 mg). So my routine is as follows....thyroid med as soon as I get up and then I have to wait 4 hours before I can take any supplements...then I take 2 calcium....2 hours after that I take 1 fish oil, my prescription iron (I'm anemic), 1 multivitamin and 1 bcomplex. Repeat the calcium in 2 hours, then the vitamins (minus the prescription iron but I do take additional iron) 2 hours later and finally the final dose of calcium. Takes me all day but I usually get them all in. You cannot take calcium and iron together....they won't absorb. Sometimes our labs dictate different additional vitamins but that's my usual day. So you can see, it can be tough for me. But the main issue is my thyroid med....it has to be first and all alone for four hours. Makes for an interesting day!!!
I had the most amazing day yesterday....I got up with my hubby got him off to work and drove out to spend the day with Bec. What a blessing! She is an amazing hostess and does an amazing job spoiling her guests. (She will deny this) But I have never felt so welcome. We talked NONSTOP for 10 1/2 hours!!!! Here's the warning....be prepared to walk! Just kidding....I told her I wanted to see where all she walks for her exercise so we took a shortened route. Still managed to do about 8000 steps so it was a good workout. Got to see the horses and some of the pups that go with her. She lives on a pretty spot of land and all the surrounding area is woods and farmland. Sure was enjoyable. We got back to the house and enjoyed lunch and visiting and dinner and more visiting. I didn't want to leave! I'm sure that those of you who have been spoiled by her can understand what I mean. She truly has a gift...
So I got home late and tired. We had drizzle here and nothing else. We need rain desperately. But I fought the wind all the way home so my head and neck were in knots. See, I just should've stayed with her! But my hubby is so spoiled....and she sent me home with all kind of treats for him (me too!) All in all it was just a wonderful day...
Today consists of Shelia and tonight we are going dancing with some friends from our class. Time to see if we have learned anything. I'm glad others are going because I get extremely intimidated in a crowd. But there will be people I know and enjoy so it should be a wonderful evening.
I'm sending the man out to the farm by himself tomorrow. A young lady that I just dearly love is coming to spend the afternoon with us and I want to clean the house and not be stressed by possum struggles. She is a former girlfriend of my son and I think they are getting ready to date again. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised if they marry. She is an amazing girl and has such maturity for her tender age. I wish I had her mindset when I was younger. She wants to spend time with us and that flatters me. She never really had a daddy (her dad was there but not there, you know?) and she is curious to see what Mark is like. He's so stinking ornery, tho. So we'll see how it goes...
Well, it's chilly again....I am so ready for spring! My poor plants are just springing up and I know they got their little hineys frosted. Silly Missouri weather.
I need to get going.....got a lot to do and I'm still a little tired this morning. Hope you all have a fantastic day and sorry about the Eating Good thread last night....I was just too pooped to post!
Life isn't about about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Like Cor I have basically started over though I didn't quite go back as far as she did. Just keep trying to remember the basics. It's going good so far and getting easier every day. Having FitDay on my home computer really helps me keep track of what I'm taking in. I've never really had trouble getting my vitamins in so that's good.
As for the man in my life, his name is Tom and he is a real sweetheart. He has a 12 year old son that he has custody of every other week which is really nice since Cody is 11. When we finally get them together we are hoping they will have a lot in common being close in age. As of yet, neither of us has met the other's child but I feel like I know Zach from hearing so much about him and Tom feels the same about Cody. I will be sure to tell you all about our date on Sunday. As of right now I am taking him to dinner (cause we are celebrating his birthday) and then we are either going to the movies to see Gran Torino (which he wants to see and since it's his birthday....) or going back to his place to watch a movie. It kinda depends on the movie start times and how they fit into our schedule.
Well, I hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday!!!

Ok Here i though i was doing good on vitamines.Just to find out today that i need to be taking 6 calciums a day .Instead i have been taking 3 because i misread the stupid bottle.@ capclets equal 500 mg i was thinking it said each one had 500 mg.So stupid me has only been taking 3 per day. And i thought 3 was enough as big as they are,So guess its 6 per day from now on.Hope i havent done alot of harm.Plus i have only been taking 1 multi bariatric advantange multi a day. I need 2.Good grief i need to start paying better attention or get new glasses.I also take a b-12 shot monthly,i take prescription iron,plus,biotin.and vit D.My multi had D in it but i take extra cuz i have always run low on D even before surgery.
I talked to Dr suttelmeir today and i can no longer eat slider foods.NO Chili,soups ,Cottage cheese,yogurt,pudding,gravy,yadad yada yada. I asked him how inthe heck i am suppose to even eat? I cant eat protein meats they are getting stuck and i just throw them up.So he schedualed me for a EGD on the 23rd,a UGI on the 23 and a cat scan of abdomen and pelvis on the 17th. He thinks the hernia could be causeing alot of the problems.Then i have a follow up with him on April 1st.I told him today i am not very damn happy with the results of or even this surgery in general.So he ordered he test. But i would really like to know how i am suppose to eat if i cant have slidder foods.They want my protein to come from food,With maybe i protein drink per day.Well **** the bed if thats the case i will never get in the amount of protein i need because i just can not eat the required amount.I dont think they really even listen or hear what you are saying to them.I asked for my measurements that they tok before i had surgery and was informed since they have so many people to get through there She didnt have time to give them to me.WTF ? Wouldnt of took hr 2 seconds to look.Sorry for being so negative but they pissed me off, Gail told me i need to start my paxil again before he burys me in the back yard LOL.I'm thinking the hole will be for him not Me if he calls me a ***** again 
.I know what i am i dont need him telling me LOL.
LOve And Hugs deb
Edited to say I totally forgot to mention the spells i am haveing.I was so frustrted with him i just forgot.but will try and remember on April 1st.But did tell him i am not very damn happy with the whole surgery deal.
