WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY 18TH

Well one day nice , next day cold, cant depend on this weather at all …one of these days I guess it will straighten out some.

Joe got the post for the divider fence in the garden done today. Tomorrow we will stretch the wire and put up the gate. We will leave both doors open for the time being so they can come and go on each side…I wonder how confusing that will be to them lol will have to see if it messes with them too much will have to shut off the one side. May have to cut the feathers on one wing tokeep them from trying to fly over the fence. Lol

Well I go to work at 2pm …unless they call me . Will let you all know how it went. Hopefully my knee will hold up to the work . We will see. They have me scheduled for 3 days M-T-W for orientation and then next week on the med carts for two days. Ought to be interesting.

I found some of my uniforms I had them in a box to take to Teresa ,my daughter who is also a nurse. So for right now she wont be getting them lol I sent her about 10 outfits about a year ago and she said she had gotten down to be able to wear them now …that is great ….

CONNIE::: THANKS for the info….if Jo started a support meeting would you all refer anyone that didn’t qualify for your support group to hers?? That might get her started. I know for our group in Springfield Cox hospital refers their patients to us. We have had a few of them come sometimes they will come back but it is sort of like here they think they learn everything and don’t need it lol when do we ever know everything.

SUSAN::::: I was going to ask you what in the world size was that scrub top you had on the other day….I think she and I both could have gotten in it….I have a outfit that im going to bring you and see if you can wear it it is my goal outfit but I don’t know if I will ever make it lol and if you can wear it ….oh yeah do you want the top and bottom of the undergarments that make us look better lol …it just hurt my intestines, girdles always have never have been able to wear them ….im so short waisted and it feels like it is cutting me into…I will sell them to you for a good price I promise. I have tried them on and wore it about 2 hours and I was getting so sick so I took them off and hand washed them . If you want them let me know and I will bring them up to you if not today then maybe tues or wed. do you all have anything planned around 1pm Tuesday??? I can come by before work….wish you all were still out here we could ride to work together and share gas….oh I will always be working 2-10 might be different once in a while but mainly that shift. You all leave about 8 don’t you?

Your picture is really cute. It doesn’t show how tiny you really are….you are going to come to the support meeting this mo arent you??

Are you still trying to lose weight?? To me you look great and I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you. I think if we try to lose too much we get to looking sick . But that is something that no one can tell someone else unless you don’t see anything but bones. Lol you look so so tiny tho , maybe part of it was that big top you had on. Looked like you were playing dress up with mamas dress. Lol you know I love you, so don’t mean to make you feel bad ….oh I have something else for you too. I think….

COLETTE:::::yeah you probably would pass her up ….especially if you weren’t looking for her. She is a very pretty woman …..she should be proud of what she has accomplished.

SUSAN :::: I forgot to tell you thanks for the info on using yogurt for protein ….that is a good idea.

JO:::::: lol yep I think maybe I loved making mud pies when I was a kid. No telling but lord it makes me feel so good when I plant and even pull weeds. I know a lot of people hate some of it like the weed pulling but I even like that. When im doing those type of jobs is when I do my best thinking and meditating and talking to God…and since the heat doesn’t bother me any more I can stay out all day and work.,,as long as I keep my water handy.

Jo if you decide that you want to try to get a group together,,,go to all the wl surgeons around and talk to their nurses or the person that answers the phone….and have something printed up about you are wanting to start a group put your name and number on it and tell the nurses to give anyone that info that calls and isn’t their patient. It might give you several people right away.

They say that most of the time when people think they are hungry that you really are thirsty….I have also tried it and yes it works most of the time I am thirsty, instead of hungry. Weird huh?

Im proud of you for sticking to the exercise….

JEANIE RAE:::: YES im a dirty ole woman lol …..

You know maybe the abandonment of food rules right now is a good thing . At least you are aware that you shouldn’t be eating certain things. Believe me right after surgery you wont want anything and it will be hard enough just getting in a protein shake or a glass of water. The first week you need some sort of protein drink that isn’t milk based you know? Something you can put in water or a ready to drink that is why a lot of doctors give patients in the hospital the Isopure….I like to carry them with me sometimes and if I put them in a glass of crystal light they are pretty good. Lol

I keep my before picture out where I can see it all the time too. I never want to go back to that. I was so miserable. couldn’t do anything except sit and sweat….

Love to all.
