WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY
Well the lady that was suppose to come out today never did show...so we have to go to get Joe a shot in his back for pain so im going to make up some posters to put up around Forsyth , maybe we will find a renter somewhere. We are thinking about putting on it to rent or sale... we have done a lot of work in there since Andy and Susan moved out...so it is getting to look pretty good. ...we have really worked in the laundry room fixing up those walls and ceiling ...and insulating it we have to get a door jam kit to be able to put up an good outside door. We have used a whole can of the foaming caulk stuff.closed up so many gaps around pipes and stuff. I cleaned windows over there today too. plus cleaned the two screen doors. They were something that I never got done from the first time lol.... I have to go see the doctor at the sleep clinic tomorrow after Joe gets his shot...i still try to use the cpap machine and still am not sleeping more than 2 or 3 hours a night. And then those pills that I have to take to stay awake don’t help much. I wonder if the cramps I wake up with at night are from the sleep apnea? They are horrible not just Charlie horses, they are inside like in my stomach and chest and back and buttocks. It is horrible. Oh well it is what it is I guess. Maybe im not getting in enough protein....will start logging all of what I eat and see what im eating , I think im eating enough calories just maybe not getting in enough protein. Susan you are right about the leg that was amputated , if it isn’t nice a pink it is wrong and will probably cause him problems. Don’t understand that he doesn’t want to live and be around when that son of theirs gets grown and married and has babies. That is sad isn’t it? did your brother while he was here go see your dad? Colette good to see you now and then....How is things going? Did you have a big garden this year or did you have to forgo doing that? Come on here more often you are missed and you probably need the interaction with your peers you know it isn’t good for you to be more or less alone.. Barb that would be great if you can just help out on the post maybe a few days a week would help me out a lot. ,,,I do mine on Microsoft word and during the day I put stuff in then sometimes late at night I will copy and paste and put it on OH.... that way I don’t have to take lots of hours all at one time Oh I talked to Vesta today she said to tell you Hi ....she sounds so lonesome and lonely...i told her to come up and spend some time with me....she just talked and talked I should have my butt kicked for not calling her more often. Especially this summer since she has been having to live in that little travel trailer until her new house was built...she said they should have it done by the end of the month. Lou im so glad that your dad is getting better. Now you take care of yourself and don’t get run down too. Im going to see Dr. Hawes on Wednesday, I want to make an appointment to get this skin taken off quick before I change my mind lol Jo lol yeah it was something with the computer. Don’t know what was going on , when I tried to post it would just sit there so I kept trying and I guess it kept loading it over and over lol ...the chicken sounds good. be sure and post the recipe soon...most of us are always looking for something good that we can fix a different way lol Lol I can see you scraping the apple butter off the ceiling..lol....first time I tried making it on the stove it burned the c---p out of me all over my arms ...sure wasn’t funny when it happened tho. Suzy so proud of you with the weight loss keep up the good work.....you seem like you are very active to be heavy...that is good , if you can do all of that just think what you will be able to do later on. Keep your eye on the prize.....

I had a very nice time in Detroit. We stayed on the river front and had a view of Windsor, Canada from the sixtieth floor. We went to the Henry Ford and also toured the manufacturing plant. DH wanted to see where his truck was born.
We were there for a wedding, DH's nephew. It was a very nice wedding and we were fed wonderfully. I was so afraid I would come home and find I had gained weight but I didn't. I may have even lost half a pound.
I was amazed at how empty Detroit was. None of the roads were busy,lots of stores were empty and lots had closed. It wasn't a dirty city but you could tell it was depressed. The weather was beautiful the whole time. The only down was when we went to the casino and DH didn't win. I however played slots. I started with 12 bucks and cashed out 12.04 so I made a total of four cents. Just call me big spender. DH is usually lucky so I guess he was due a loss. He is a black Jack player but I am too cheap to play enough per bet to do the tables.
It is good to be back home even if it is for a short time. I am leaving Thursday for Atlanta for some girl time with my sister.Gotta do what I can before school starts.
I hope everyone is doing ok and has a wonderful day.

Good Morning Jan and All.

Gail is off to work ,Nikki still asleep,So far so good LOL.
Gail finally got 2 of the arches done for Christmas 1400 lights on each arch.THey are so cool.Next he is making 10 mini trees .They will be awesome also.
I took trash up to the city dumpster Sunday evening and i hit the jackpot in the dumpster .There was a 6 1/2 foot prelit christnas tree tosse in there still in the box and a 8 ft christmas palm tree.Both work WEEEEEEEEEE.Some of you are gonna think crazy woman digging stuff out of the trash,But I ove going through junk ditches and stuff,Ya can find some pretty cool stuff.And it was well worth dragging the tree and palm tree home since they both work.We looked on ebay and the palm tree sells for 189.00.I was tickled LOL.But as ya'll know it dosen't take alot to excite me LOL.
Nikki and I are taking the kittens to Kirksville this morning.A lady that lives on a farm wants them and we grew up with her so i know they willbe taken care of.Can't keep them or they will have the blowups all scratched up and full of holes.Pickles their momma is going to get a hysterectomy so no more babies.YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE,
Got a 35 gal fish tank with stand and everything to ser it up of of freecycle Sat. Looks really nice. and our fish love the extra swimming room.Gave our 10 gal tank to Colby our 2 yr old grandson.He was so excited.
I made 7 jars of bread and butter pickles fri i think it was, And have enough cucumbers so far probably have enough cucumbers to do 10 more jars .Then i quit.We don't eat alot of them . End up giving most away.Made 2 loaves of zuchinni bread and colbt loves it.He came over yesterday and said Nawnee can i have some more of your bread.He is so sweet and so polite for only being 2.
.
Thank you all for being here for me and for you kind words and support.I love ya'll. and hope your dayis filled with lots of love and blessings.
LOve and Hugs DEb
Poohbear, I love your little prayer, very cute. I must have missed your tantrum. I feel like throwing tantrums too with the price of drugs. I have really good insurance and it pays well for prescriptions but if there's a generic you have to use it or pay a really high co-pay. My husband takes Coumadin and the generic just didn't work for him. Even though the doctor said he has to have the brand name, he still pays $40 a month. It has to have it.
I was taking Celexa for several years but recently I have felt really anxious and really no reason to feel that way. I say my doctor Friday and she changed me to Zolof. For over a year I have taken Ambien but it gives me headaches. The doctor put me on Trazadone, half tablet at bedtime. Helps me sleep but tne nightmares are just awful.
Seems like the pharmacy should have told you generic was available. Maybe they wanted to make the extra money.

Hello to everyone,
Yes, I am alive and well! Thanks Jan for asking. We ventured out on July 20th till 27th and went to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for a family reunion. Didnt know if we should but Made all the plans to go. Was the first time I have seen my brothers and sisters in 4 years. We all rented cabins and they came from La, Pa, Floriada, Ga. and Missouri. I planned ahead and had the medical company bring a lift chair to our cabin for a week. We had a wonderful and fantastic time. Plans are under way for 2 years to go to Destin, Florida. God willing we will go. I drove the entire trip and we broke it up into 2 days. You should see where our cabin was!! Right smack on top of a mountain. Getting to it was not fun with hilly, curvy and windy roads. But it was so nice when we got there. We actually saw live bears out where we grilled our supper at the picnic table in front of my brothers cabin. They warned us not to leave food around outside but it must have smelt the after effects.
Yes, I have a garden Jan. Nothing in comparison to a lot of you, but I have zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and peppers. All doing very well. also I think of you as a lot of the flowers you gave me bloomed. the ornamental peppers are hugh and plentiful with peppers..
Since I am home all the time, many adjustments have taken place. I am a people person and I miss the daily contact with people. I do however wander from hom to the grocery store and bank but try not to be gone longer than 1-2 hours. I always plan it so hubby is taken care of and sitting in chair. He can get up with the lift chair and his walking is shaky, but he manages to go to bathroom by self. He falls when I am here too, becuse he wont always call me.
Hope you all have a great week. Incidentally, this was the first time my family saw me since I lost 95 pounds so you should have heard them. My ego was flying high!!! ha-ha They even told me and its on video that I look like the younges sister of 4. (I am the oldest)
Have a great day. God Bless each and everyone of You!!!!! Colette

Well nothing much for me today not a lot planned other then cleaning. We was hoping to go for a walk this evening but there is a chance for rain. We will have to see what it looks like.
Poohbear I think it was you that mentioned you had a bad day yesterday. I am so sorry to hear that and I sure hope you have a better day today. I am glad you found out about the med that you can get cheaper and I would be very upset as well that they did not inform you about the generic.
Somebody mentioned that I seem very active for my size. I am told this quite often...my grandma who has battled weight for a long time tells me this all the time. She just can't get over that I can still get on the floor and sit and crawl around and then get back up. Everyone is shocked at how much walking I can do and that I can jog a couple laps around our backyard it is not real big but hey at over 400 lbs I don't think that is to bad. I still go to six flags all the time and there are still some rides I can ride and I love to ride and can't wait till I can fit into all of the rides. I am so thankful and feel so blessed that I am still able to get around. I see people my size all the time in stores and they are in wheelchairs or scooters to be able to get around. This makes me feel so blessed for myself and sad at the same time.
Wanted to say hi to everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Good morning everyone!! I was going to start the thread but duty called and I didn't get around to checking in her until just a little while ago.
Continue to have great weather. Sure enjoyed my 3 days off. I could surely enjoy retirement if I had sufficient income.
Tonight I hope to move my sewing stuff to the "new" garage room. The lighting is really better than in the bedroom I use now. My tables fold up and aren't heavy so they're easy to move. Moving all the fabric and quilting I have on a shelf will take a lot of time. With new found energy since WLS, I'm up for it. Can't believe what a difference dumping 70 lbs. has made.
I was folding clothes and picked up a pair of shorts. Wondered where they came from because they sure wouldn't fit me. They are mine, paid a dollar for them at the thrift store and fit really good. I altered a top yesterday taking in 2 1/2" on each side. I looked at it and was sure I had measured wrong because it looked way too small.

Can you believe that I missed my surgiversary(sp) I had surgery 2 years ago July 31st... Must be "CRS"!
I made 7 quarts of bread & butter pickels. I think I want to do some more lime pickles with what I have left.
We came home yesterday and someone had taken almost all of the tomatos off the table on the porch which is for our use only... We tell everyone thay can have what they want from the table on the patio not on the porch...I was so mad Dad thought I was going to stroke out. They even took the zucchini and all my green peppers. The days of giving away stuff is just about over. He said just let it go - I don't want to. I had over 2 dozen romas I wanted to use for my salads etc and the plants in the garden are dying not counting the Heirloom tomatos from which I wanted the seeds as I paid $4 a plant for them. Can you tell I am a little hot about this? We have a big family birthday party in Kansas City this coming weekend and I had plans to take everyon a goody basket from the garden ~~~~~~~
Ok - venting is over...Got sent home from work at 11:25 today and am scheduled to be on call tomorrow. Hope to get my pies done tonight if sis brings the blackberries she promised me.
Have a great day!
