WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY JANUARY 22

Well cant believe I almost wanted to go to work today. I may just see about taking that girls place that is quiting. She does mostly the station I like so might do it. Especially if she will tell me I don’t have to do the med cart at all. I hate giving meds , mainly because I cant see well enough to read the meds as well as I like to …is sort of scary to me. Would be scared to death all the time about giving the wrong meds. The light isn’t the best in those hallways sometimes.

I made sloppy joes for supper tonight…I made my own sauce cause the canned ones that I could find had too much sugar in them ..also bought some stuff for me to start taking to work with me…bought some yogurt light style and tried something that Susan says she does. I put a scoop of protein powder in it. Easy and quick way to get in the protein. Also got some sugar free apple sauce cups…tried the same thing and it works good. So I will take those type things and protein powder with me and mix and be able to eat something light and good for me without eating horrible things. Will be able to get my protein in that way.

Hey all of you on here that read this and go to the COF meetings…what would you all think of changing the meeting to Fridays???let me know .. As you all know I am wanting to not be the COF leader. And Rianne said she might be able to but bless her heart I know that with her working as a new nurse there will be times that she will have to work when she doesn’t want to.

Tammy Billings said she would love to do it but it would have to be on Fridays. She would ge a great leader. Just let me know if you want to semd me a personal message about it just use the contact button under this message ok? Or you can say yes or no on here. I think she would be able to make the meetings fun and exciting again. And could maybe revive them again. If you don’t know her she is a member and has been from the beginning of COF. Just has been getting her education. …

That is about all I have for today. It has been a miserable horrible day here yesterday and I hope today is better. …they say it is suppose to be.

 

JEANIE RAE:::::: that’s great that Big Al sent you the message, was I right on the dates? I hope so wouldn’t want to tell someone the wrong dates. ….Big Al isn’t as big as he use to be he is a really nice guy, what I know of him .

The shoes I bought at K mart are their rendition of the shoes that are over a hundred dollars. I will either wear them to the meeting Monday night or bring them at least. They look heavy but they arent ..the ones at kmart are called Thera shoes….

 

JO::::::I tired on the Sketchers and they don’t feel any different to me than the ones at K mart do. Except the ones at K mart were 30 dollars. A little easier to handle for me anyway…

I don’t know why the infrared heaters are so much all they are is a little cabinet with a vent opening , two small infrared heat bulbs and a small fan behind them….they heat up and the fan pushes the heat out into the room….it works well but good grief the building of the cabinet would be the most expensive part of this. ….

Hope you keep enjoying your new protein powder….there is one out there for everyone if they just keep looking and don’t give up….

Did you enjoy your quite time last night?

Rita, you are exactly 6 months farther out than me.  My surgery was 7/8/08.  This is a great place to go for encouragement and good ideas.

Good Friday,

I guess I'm still a work week person, I still look forward to the week-ends, it's ate up LOL.

Jan~Dr. E's meetings are still the second Monday, and the next one is on the 8th of Feb., the same day as my behavioral class, it's also in the same building.

Personally Friday nights work for me for the meetings. I am coming to this meeting, I really need the Friend contacts, I saw that it's supposed to snow, just gonna pray it waits til after the meeting is over and we're all home snug and warm, even better that it passes us by this time. I think we've had enough snow this winter.

I'm gonna check the shoes out Tuesday when I go to the nutrition and excercise rehab. I should have time. If I'm gonna start excercising will need different shoes than the ones I have now.

We have to go to town, meeting our mortgage holder, he's gonna lend us the money to pay for my co-pays and we need to pick it up this morning. Gonna post this and will talk to ya all tomorrow. Or later today. Have a good day.

Now snow is in the forecast.  We still have some left from the last snow and it is so nasty looking. 

Tomorrow I'm going shoe shopping.  My dress shoes are too big.  I want to try those Thera shoes.  I'm not paying $100 for Sketchers, no matter how comfortable they are. 

Home Depot has a kerosene heater for $129.  I've never used kerosene, don't know where  you buy it, but I'll bet it would heat it that room really well, and it would be great to have if our electricity went out. 

Yesterday I did liquid proteins and water all day and got 102 grams of protein.  By 4:00 I was feeling a little lightheaded.  In the evening I did have a piece of toast with peanut butter. 

Yes, I did enjoy my quiet time last night.  Did some reading and watched an Oprah show I had recorded.

Jo you might try K-mart for shoes.  Here K-mart has their brand of Sketchers called  "TheraShoes" they are just like the Sketchers.  Susan bought a pair last week to wear for work and she just loves them, her feet dont hurt at the end of her shift like they were with regular shoes.  I think Jan wears them also and loves them.  At K-mart they are $38, not a bad price for a good pair of shoes.

Be careful if you buy a kerosene heater, make sure your room is well vented, kerosene puts off a smell.  A few winters ago we lost power for 6 days and had a kerosene heater and we used the "odorless" kerosene and it still smelled up the house, we ended up borrowing a generator because I was getting such bad headaches from the kerosene, just thought i'd throw that in there. 

Have a great day,

Andy

Andy, thanks for the info.  I've never had a kerosene heater.  I thought it would be good to have in case we lost electricity, but doesn't sound like it would be a good thing for us.  I probably better stick with the infrared heater but I hate paying $300.

Jo, Susan and I use one of those  Oil Filled Radiator heaters, we bought it at walmart for $35.  During the christmas holidays when we had all that cold we left our thermostat on 68 and had the heater sitting in the living room and we stayed nice and toasty.  They are energy effiectient in that they have a thermostat on them so they go on and off by themselves, when they've been on for awhile and go off the oil in the heater stays hot causing it to still put off heat for awhile longer.  Our place it all electric and we just got out bill for last month and it was $172, i thought it would be alot more cuz we ran that little heater quite a bit. 

Also if you are wanting an infared heater i've seen a few on Craigslist, not sure about up in your area, they are good heaters though, just pricey to buy, I want one myself but cant bring myself to pay that much lol.
