Good morning, everybody!
Jen, I hope things resolve well with your Mom. You are right that if she is on blood thinners, she needs to be careful about what she does and will need help.
My plane was a bit late, but I got in at about 4:00. Mostly I have just hung out, my program starts at 1:00 today and I have to go to the gym after a client call this morning.
I don't think that the normies who prepare breakfast can comprehend just how little eggs I am capable of eating, no matter how much I urge them to give me "just a little egg ", I am still overwhelmed. The workers do a great job and are super nice, I just feel bad about the wasted food.
QOTD: I am sure that they do.
Breakfast: ham and eggs
Lunch: pizza
Dinner: fish
Have a great day, all!

PS. Sorry about your mom's situation. People are not always so smart. I hope you don't have to get "ugly" with them but you should be proud of yourself for standing up for your mom!

Good mornin y'all.
we have a vet visit to take Tange to. They just need to weigh her so we can get some preventative stuff.
yesterday was a terrifying day in a way. I won't delve into why as it's political but I am still worried about it.
I'm pretty sure I have thrush in my mouth. It started after the steroid injection. I tried to get in to my doctor but couldn't be seen until my regular check up on 2-28. So I started swishing with apple cider vinegar solution and it's helped immensely. It was just on my tongue.
QOTD: I believe both can be wonderful tools.
B: egg burrito and coffee
L: enchiladas
D: not sure on this one.
Good Morning. I didn't get a chance to read any responses yesterday so I will do that in a little bit.
An update on my mom. She has two blood clots in her right lung, a blood clot in each calf, and her left lower ventricle is pumping at 15%. Her heart rate is back to normal and she is on a heparin drip to help dissolve the clots. Other than that the doctors said she's in great shape for being 80. She does not have congestive heart failure like my sister said. She'll be in the hospital for a few more day at least which she hates, but at least she is getting rest that she needs.
I told my siblings that things need to change when she goes home like my nephew (who lives there) getting rid of the other dog he just brought back home with him from Alaska and half of the farm animals need to go. My stepfather just half asses takes care of them and then *****es about everything getting my mom all worked up. If none of them do anything then I will just have to be the bad guy and takes things into my own hands. People won't be happy but I'll be dam if my mom ends up back in the hospital or worse because of them.
QOTD: Do you think modern medicine uses everything that is available to doctors, or do you think they hold stuff for special situations? Sometimes I think there is stuff out there that could be used to treat different illnesses or conditions, but for whatever reason doctors don't use it or are told not to use it. Like my mom they have her on the heparin drip which they said they would try first to see if it helps dissolve the clots if not then there is a pill they can try and that doesn't work they are a few other things they can do. I guess it's just frustrating when doctors try this and that in hopes one of the things work.
B: coffee
L: tuna salad wrap
D: roasted chicken breast with peas
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a wonderful day everyone.

One of my favorite things to do is leave Cleveland airport with tons of snow and arrive in Orlando sunshine a few hours later. It really reminds me that winter is going to end. You and Marilyn enjoy your Florida time.

I'm sure your friend appreciates your support during the tough time.
