Manic Monday Roll Call
Good morning everyone!
Today I start my 2 wk pre-op diet. My doc requires 2 weeks of an Atkins type diet, no more than 40g carb per day. I never realized how hard that was!
Other than that, continuing to clean up my spare bedroom, it has become a dumping ground for junk.
Recording the Phillies game to watch with hubby tonight, Bethmal, have a great time at the game, just don't tell me who wins until later!!
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning Trish and everyone! Trish - I hope you slept relatively OK and are having a better morning.
I slept in my own bed last night. And I proceeded to have funny, strange and VERY vivid dreams - I dn't think I dreampt once at camp now that I think about it. I often have very vivid dreams - funny that I don't think I did at camp - oh well......I guess that is what exhaustion and LOTS of vitamin D do for me! :)
Getting ready to jump in the shower - having breakfast with some girlfriends and then off to see Eclipse - they all waited for me to come back from camp to see the movie! I love my friends! After the movie - coming home to get Larry and head to the plastic surgeon's office. (That was part of my dream last night - I am sure it iwll be WAY different when I actually get there!)
My little brother might be driving in from Boston tonight and hanging around for a few days. Looking forward to seeing him.
That is my wonderful day - I am a bit nervous and excited for my doctor's visit. I will let you all know what transpires! Have a GREAT Monday all! :)

Morning all - back at work today after a busy weekend of company, cleaning, and finishing up the house. Almost glad to be back here to get some rest - now if it wasn't FREEZING in here I'd be feeling much better.
Not much going on for me this week - work, work-outs, walking - can you stand the excitement??

Hey all!
Nothing going on here today. Or at least nothing exciting. I have to call the doc to find out about prep for Thursday's surgery. The scheduler told me she "thinks" I have to do a bowel prep. I'm sorry? You THINK I have to do that?? No, I want a definite yes or no. Not something I want to do if I don't have to! And besides, they don't give any specific diet instructions, which makes no sense---clean out but have regular food till midnight?? Sorry if that's TMI!!! lol
Have a great day, all!!

Hello PA!
What a gorgeous morning. We had huge storms and even tornado warnings yesterday afternoon, but it has cooled things down. I was out sweeping the deck earlier this morning.
I am heading to the gym today and getting back into my water aerobics routine. With vacation and my knee injury I have not been nearly as regular with exercise as I need to be and I am feeling flabby because of it. So the plan is to hit the pool every day this week except Thursday, when I have to be in the office.
After the pool I head to the orthopedist to hear his input about my knee. The pain is much better over the last 2 weeks but I know that the cartilage won't heal itself. Dr. P. said that he might need to "clean it up" a little bit. We shall see. The truth is, I am afraid to aggravate it by taking walks or working out too hard...so it's been a real problem with regards to my exercise (no walking, no aerobics classes, no lower body work...feeling saggy part 2).
Then...working.
Pedicure after work.
Dinner will be leftovers. We had company for dinner Sunday so I have bbq chicken, cabbage salad, and corn on the cob. My total favorite summer meal! (Don't tell but I may have some of the chicken for lunch too.)

Good Morning!
My mom is in surgery as we speak. My sister took her, I am leaving as soon as my sitter gets here to head over. She is getting a Left Total hip replacement. She will be in the hospital until Thursday, AND she will be on my floor. So even if she isn't one of my assigned patients, I can check on her and pick on her! Please send thoughts and prayers for a smooth and successful recovery.
After I know she is settled in her room and sleeping off Anesthesia, I will head to my office job for the afternoon, then I will check on her again.
Busy week for me. But keeping focused on my goal of getting through the week and having 8 days off! Yay!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
