What's Happening Sunday
Good Morning Missouri,
Received a message from Jan last night:
"im still getting adjusted and in pain..I have finally gotten most of the pain in control. tell everyone i love them and hopefully will be back on soon. right now sometimes i dont make much sence. lol...and im using most of my time getting thnks set up for exercises. love yhou all take care. Mimi"
Not sure if she was able to go home yet or not... assuming she is still in the hospital... either way am wishing her well and praying a good time of rehab for you dear dear knee! ~tee hee
Has been another busy week. I did do better on drinking the water... and have changed up my exercise routine as well... I have dropped a lb or two of regained weight. I'm yo~yoing with a few lbs lately. I actually jogged a half a mile this week with out stopping
...and part of it was even up hill! ~tee hee Never ever ever ever thought I would be able to do that in this lifetime... and know I will not be able to keep it up as it gives my back fits... but it's fun to do it... just cause I can! A real victory for this fat girl!
Had a job interview this week at Penney's for seasonal help... will go back in tomorrow and meet with the store manager. Will be interesting to see how I tolerate being on my feet all day in the work enviroment. I remember the last time (320+ lbs) I did this... I remember crying my back hurt so bad and taking oodles and oodles of Advil... it was terrible... I'm hoping it will be MUCH better this time. And kind of looking forward to the change of pace in my very routine life.
Went this week to see Pooh Bear and boy did I have a nice day with her... we visited for several hours while we picked up nuts... it was great and my oh my is the Christmas light presentation her husband is/has put together... simply AWESOME!!! He turned it all on and let me enjoy it... can't even begin to tell you all the time, effort and hard work, Gail has put into it... it just thrilled my very soul to see folks that would do THAT much for the pure enjoyment of others! It was so refreshing to me! I hope and pray they are blessed WAY more than they can even imagine! If you possibly have the time to get over their way... it will be WELL worth your trip!
Gail, I loved, loved, loved those arches like the others! They add so much to your presentation!. Sure wish I could get back up there to see the whole thing set up. The very best of Holidays to you and your family!
And Pooh just looked wonderful! She is doing well. She gave me a sample tasting of the Click... yes, yes, that is good stuff! Thank you Pooh for the great day and the nuts too.
Susyalba ~ just wanted to say... honey, you sure are not the only one struggling with making the right eating choices! It seems we do not talk about that much... I think because we see it as failure, but it is a very real struggle with many of us I believe, whether we're brave enough to admit it or not. I feel like in my case and experience with this surgery... things went from "impossible" to "hard" but not "undo-able" like it seemed before... I find I have to make the choice not to put something in my mouth that I know is not on "the approved snack list" ~tee hee (that's a family joke)... I still LOVE FOOD and can tolerate about anything I want. So therefore I have to be focused and "resist the temptation" every day and sometimes many many times a day...egads! But doll you certainly are not alone and you can do this! I know you can!!! Just hopefully a word of encouragement for you.
I seen there was a lot of talk about "de~carbing" yesterday... I find if I have to do this, I suffer a good day of headache. But know it is good to get away from those and in the end feel much better for it.
Jeanie Rae ~ I think getting started on the protein powder is a great idea... I did that before surgery and know it was a good part of the reason I did so well... I encourage you to do that... would even be willing to send you a sample of the one I use and even a sample of the chi tea that Lou posted... it is good stuff for the fall! I have made several batches and have enjoyed it greatly. Thanks Lou! Let me know or pm me with your address and I will send it along.
Lou ~ A WONDERFUL evening for a cook out last night, hope you enjoyed it... it was just down right WARM yesterday... I sweat like a little pig on my run... going out way earlier today to avoid such undesirable effects! ~tee hee I just love to hear all you are doing.
Well better get off here and get started on the day...my mil is here and will be up and ready for breakfast before long... and need to get on out there and get my run in before church.
Have a good and wonderful day all,
Bec

I think maybe my head feels clear enough to maybe say hello to you all. I got out of the hospital on Friday, was suppose to be at noon, didnt get out then until 4 pm...got so upset about that but didnt do a lot of good....was a lot like a lot of other things that didnt do well this trip but that is another whole story and when i get it all together i will tell you of it. it is so sad that just one or two people can make it bad for the rest of the people. 2 nurses there were just bad, not good nurses at all....the rest of the nurses and aides were all wonderful people. my doctor McClain how can i ever say enough thank yous to him , when i called him on Wednesday , as soon as his office hours were over he came right over to see me and he got it all straightened out. good man.
Im doing really good i think. the P.T. said i looked like i had been out of surgery for about 2 weeks
that is great. I am already able to dress myself completly even my socks, able to transfer myself everywhere. and stood and folded laundry yesterday lol
They said im putting more than 50% of my weight on my replaced knee...pretty good. huh?
well im getting off of here, i wanted to tell you all thank you so very much for the visits, phone calls, and prayers. I could feel you all with me ....thank you dear friends. and Bec thanks for passing on and starting the Whats happeneing this morning and to all the others that have done it too. Jo, Susan, and Janet i hope i didnt miss anyone ....
lets not forget our dear Janet this coming tuesday morning for her surgery she is to have in Carthage...

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY
JAN COOK
Good Beautiful Sunday Monday, Missouri,
Jan so glad to see you are doing so good. You are probably thrilled to be out of the hospital and back home. I need to get my knees replaced but I will wait a little longer. I am just a big baby when it comes to hospitals. And Pain....
It has been so long since I have posted but I read all the time. Bad Bad I know. I always wondered why people got on here every day and then they are just gone. But I get so busy I don't know where the time goes.
My daughter found me a bike at an auction, one that is just plain jane but that is what I have been looking for. No speeds just get on and ride. It is in really good condition. Haven't been on a bike for years so will see if I can even do it. lol...
My weight loss is at a stand still and has been for several months but I am not gaining any just not losing either. I still want to lose about 40 more lbs. I have lost 132 so every time I start getting depressed about not losing I think of that and it doesn't seem so bad.
Bec wish I could run, but with my back and knees like they are that is an impossible tasks. I am thrilled just to be able to walk.
I have started going back to Dr Hornbostels support group. He is such a good teacher. Brings it right down to my level lol..Anyone that is in this area come on by. 1st sunday of every month at 5 pm. Its not at the hospital anymore but at the learning center across the street.
Well better get off here and get things started. Everyone have a wonderful day...
My angel Janet, you will be in my prayers for tuesday.

Beverly, I don't recall seeing you post here. I'm here most days. You sound like me not gaining but not losing. I too want to lose another 40 lbs. so I'm not considered overweight according to the weight charts. I have lost about 70 lbs. and I'm happy with how I look but for better health I need to drop the extra pounds. Exercise is the one thing I have the most trouble with. I don't like it.
Jan, so good to hear from you and glad you are doing well.
Yesterday I had shakes all day and also ate a few slices of cheese so it was a very low carb day. The 2 lbs. I had gained were gone today. Some people say a calorie is a calorie and it doesn't matter how you use them but I don't agree. Eating too many carbs makes me gain or it keeps me from losing.

Hi Bev...
Good to see you! I won't be able to run for very long... it's not good for my back or any other joint that's for sure but I just never thought I COULD ever do that again so it's just kind of a personal victory thing for me...
Say if you think of it would you please send me a reminder of the Dr. H. support group meeting... I forget it EVERY month and intend to go EVERY month... I don't know why I can't get that in my head... I know his meetings are very beneficial for sure.

Glad you are doing so well Jan. Man do I remember thinking what have I done to myself when I got my knees replaced. I was very heavy and that made a huge difference.
Bec ....running? I have a valid excuse for not running. The doctor said no after knee replacements. I wish I could. Keep it up and the winter wind will be blowing you away because you won't weigh enough.
Lou your facebook picture made me laugh. I thought I was seeing things at first. I will be down there on the 16th for my appointment. Lunch sounds great.
I understand the struggle with good food choices. I can eat sugar and not dump and its scary. I had halloween candy, the good kind and its been hard not to eat it. I have eaten some and it didn't bother me. Very bad news for me. I never ate that much sugar before so I hope I won't keep wanting it now.
I have made it a year and met my personal goal but could still stand to lose a few more pounds. My currant goal is plastics and I am hoping that is gonna happen soon.
It has been such nice weather I hate to see it change. I hope everyone got to enjoy it today.

Suz...Tee Hee I don't think there is a wind big enough to blow me away... it would have to be GALE FORCE! ~ha I still have 20 to 40 lbs to go! That's nearly a sack of feed! ~ha Paul thinks in those terms! ~tee hee
I continue to pray the Lord is ministering in your life. I know He cares about every single thing that effects you! Hope you are able to get the ps you want as well.
