WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Well today was a whole lot better….my P.T. guy said I had my muscles knotted up in a knot , the quads. So he spent most of his time here massaging my leg and showed Joe how to do it too. To help get that muscle on the top of the thigh (quads) to release. He said that was what was causing so much pain. I know my leg feels fantastic compared to yesterday. Anyway after he massaged my leg I was able to work it so much better and bend it a whole lot more than I have been bending it. I have gotten it straightened out really really good. So I guess I wasn’t all being whiny huh…I knew my leg felt like it was cramping up and I couldn’t get it to stop. So hopefully this will help it ….he also is going to recommend that I have on going water therapy. He said maybe that would keep the muscles from grabbing so much when I try to do the exerices. …im really looking forward to that ….
Joe is taking the boys over to check with OTC they hope to get enrolled in college this next week for the January term….OTC told them they could help them with jobs too. So that would be killing two birds with one stone. They are so determined to do well now. Bless their hearts. We have had some wonderful deep talks about life and what they want out of life and where they want to go and do. And they have been telling me all about their lives for the last few years. Sad state of affairs. Hopefully they can get their lives turned around…So if I could get all my good prayer warriors out there to start praying for Gods guidance in their lives and for me to have te right words to lead them to Jesus. . These boys have been big burdens in my heart for a long long time. Anyway their names are George and Patrick and of course their mother Michele if that would all be resolved and come to pass before I die I would be happy ….
SUSIE::::: lol had to laugh at you about your four new coats …it is a new experience tho isn’t it to have to buy coats….I don’t think I had a coat at all for years , never needed one. Now im like you I have so many coats and jackets that it is pitifull. don’t feel guilty about spending money on yourself no matter whether it is clothes or surgeries or what you are worth it. I take it the personal problems are working out? I hope that what ever you want it to be it is working toward that end….
Susie sounds like you have big plans about your surgeries. I hope that all of them will give the results you want. I would be right there with you if I had the money but no way on Gods green earth that I could ever come up with that , unless I win the lottery or something. Lol
BEC::::::::::: well is the Turkey Pep. Done yet? You and Connie need to open a resturant. But love the recipes’ that the two of you combine have going. Need to keep it up….maybe can help some people with some foods….especially snacks and such…I think that is a lot of things that people crave and don’t know what to eat .
I know you are going to love working at Pennys and know that they will all love you to death . What is not to love. You will have everyone there spoiled to death , workers and shoppers alike . Lol
I have lots of plants that havent died back yet especially the elephant ears. You don’t have to dig them up yet if you don’t want to. I don’t dig mine up at all but I wait till they get a good freezing and the leaves are all black and wilted then I cut them back or if you were going to dig them up that would be the time. You don’t want them to freeze but you want them to have all the juices out of the leaves first….I still have zinnia and marigold and cosmos and lantana blooming away oh and yeah the pineapple sage is still blooming too so I have lots of color yet oh and one really surprising one is my impatients are still in full bloom….weird huh?
Thanks for keeping us all in your prayers….
JO :::::: I am resting and all just don’t want my knee to stick in a postion and have to have more flexion than I have right now. But it feels better than it did that is for sure….
I don’t really worry about the good carbs….I just count the bad ones I don’t know If that is right or not but it seems to work for me lol isn’t it funny how different things work for different people.? Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
You know it sounds like the gazelle would have a good home in your craft room then you could jump on and off it in between sewing lol just don’t forget which one you are doing lol .
SUSAN:::::boy it has been a long time since you have been on here ….hope you had a great week end
And hope to see you all soon….. Hey I need your mailing address , just send me an regular email with it
In there ok ?
Are you still losing weight? I bet you are tiny now for sure…
Well going to get this posted so see you all tomorrow…..

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY

It's not raining this morning but it's dreary still... I hear on the news that K.C. is seeing a bit of sunshine now so it shouldn't be but a couple of hours till I see some... I'm usually that far away from the weather in the city?
I'm so glad you seen some change in your PT routine... I know you needed to see some progress!
I for sure am praying for your grandsons! I'm glad they are motivated and sure hope they are able to get in school! I just know you will be a wonderful influence for them and they will look back be ever so thankful for the part you played in there future! That you believed in the them and gave them a chance!
Paul came home and said he would not be laid off this week that only 5 people got to work and he was one of them! Glory! It's so scary and stressful dealing with this from week to week... but the Lord is taking care of us and I'm extra thankful for that... and for some reason our personal property taxes dropped about a $100 this year too! I'm so grateful for these things! Paul came home with a $20 voucher for meat at a local grocery store too! Will make a nice dent in the the Christmas Ham!
I am going to try the pepperoni "chips" here real soon in the next day or two... I enjoyed chatting with Connie... I sure didn't know she worked right in Dr. H's office... what a very very cool job to have! I would dearly love it! I could relate when she said it fed her soul to do that! It would mine too! I'm so glad for her!
I think I would love to have a Bed and Breakfast...... do you think there is a WLS friendly B&B anywhere in the country? ~tee hee
Or have a tea room but use my whole house so to speak? Would like to schedule on my terms though! ~ha
Thank you for the encouraging words about the job... I will let you know how it goes.
Boy have I been pleased how the Thera Shoes are working on the Gazelle... the rocking motion rolls right along with the repetitions of the machine...so so smooth on the joints... I did 15 minutes yesterday with the resistance hooked up but egads was I winded and know tomorrow I will be sore for sure! I felt it as it was happening....
Going to work on decorations today I want to make a new Christmas wreath to put in the gable of the front porch. I got two packages of lighted candy canes at Peggy's sale I'm going to use on it... hoping it will really shine out. Paul and Jo will put up the lights this weekend so they will be ready for next week. I have wanted a lighted nativity for years and I found one this summer on the local e~sell for $15... I have just the perfect place for it.. and got two lighted trees for $1 a piece at an auction last week... just have to string new lights and they will be ready to go.... I just love Christmas! I love the reason for the season and all the wonderful things that go along with it. So sad it has to be so commercialized but I try and stay focused and not let all the negative take root in my home or effect my family as much as I'm able to effect that.
Well I better get out there and run... going to stop and have a cup of coffee with a neighbor before I get started on the decs.
A good day to all,
Bec
Jan, glad to hear you are doing better. Yes, the Gazzelle would be perfect for me to use and I actually like it. When I bought it, it was folded up in a box and I didn't realize how much room it needs. I put it on Craig's list but had to interest. I really need to use it myself. I need to rearrange things in my woman cave to accommodate the Gazzelle.
Our boss is taking us to Cheesecake Factory today for lunch for all the good work we've been doing. I looked at the menu to see what I want to order. They do have a low carb cheesecake.
