Tuesday WLS Express

ALL ABOARD !!!

Good morning, all ! I've been up since 03:30..no doubt I'll be sorry later, but my brain (and bladder..TMI?) just decided it was time to get up)...I've done my morning prayer time, watched yesterday's "Y&R", and now "Jerry Springer" is on--full morning!! I'll be napping at red lights later...

Busy, busy work day yesterday-2 admissions, and 2 passings. Both deaths were expected, of course, but they are still "hard" on everyone. One lady had scads of family, and the other lady had no blood family, but had lots of nursing home caregivers who dearly loved her (she had lived there for over 10 yrs). A loss is a loss-and SOMEBODY is going to feel the pain. It's also hard for our field staff, who had to go from the death visit (with someone they had grown close to) straight to a new admission. Tough day, all around. I work with some truly fabulous people...

Did y'all know you can boil marijuana and make tea and butter? Amazing what you can learn..lol..One of our pt's husbands called yesterday and asked me if we (the hospice) would cover the cost of the pot... he then explained to me how to cook it. I googled, and found hundreds of "recipes"..but..NO..pot is NOT on our pharmacy formulary...drats...

Eating/fluids/vitamins going well...exercise could always be better...still can't build up much speed or distance, cuz of the bum knee, so try to make up for it with weights/intensity..but my heart  just isn't in it right now..I need new "goals" to work toward, in this area...like "Ms Universe"...yea, right....or maybe "Ms Flabby Over Fifty"...

Sooooo...anyhoo...how's YOUR Tuesday going????

MEGGIE--soooooooooooooo excited for you on the house!!!!!

My bucket list??? The "already done" would be the half-marathon (done X 2--plenty for me)-- but my "personal favorite" came in post op year two-riding The Titan-for the 1st time, with my youngest spawn, Chris. He was 10, I think, and he told me "Don't hold your arms up, cuz your skin might make the roller coaster slow down, and we'll crash."...Out of the mouths of smart azz babes. of course, he's also the one who got up in fron of the entire cafeteria, the day of my WLS, and asked his school to "Pray for my mom. she is having surgery today to move her TESTICLES and make her her skinny."

GREAT question !

Something I still WANT to do is bunge jump. Any takers???

 "Pray for my mom. she is having surgery today to move her TESTICLES and make her her skinny."    
"Don't hold your arms up, cuz your skin might make the roller coaster slow down, and we'll crash."

those made me laugh !!  

They are expensive but get a Tembur Pedic.  I don't have near the morning, or all day, back aches I used to experience since getting mine.  Most nights sleep like a rock!

Question for yall! What is something youhave added to your bucket list since you have changed your life with wls?


1)  getting back on roller skate which I did about 2 yrs ago when I was at my lower weight  (199-220)  I'm now 263  - I'm sharing so that I can keep track and somewhat accountability because I know that everyone cares and has noticed..

2)  Riding a bicycle -  one that rolls outside -  around - not staying in one place
Well - you all know where that went -  BUT WHAT COUNTS - I DID IT !!  So what it was only for 45 min and it was a wonderful time while I was upright that is!         I'm thinking about getting an adult tricycle - 3 wheeler - Ive seen them but not in my budget......no where to store it in my apartment and no what to easily get it in and out of my car - and to the park......  But I'm still thinking about it.... 

Good morning. Busy day for me between work and family obligations. I hear you on the knee thing. I still can't do anything
with mine for a while, so if I exercise it can't be any big stuff.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Prayers for OH peeps and family having surgeries today.

Karla

KARLA-frustrating, isn't it?? To actually WANT to exercise, and not be ABLE to??? I have a doctor's note and everything..lol..I'd have killed to have those back in HS gym class !!!!

Good Morning TMB Friends!

Just a regular work day today.

I love reading everyone's daily happenings!

Have a wonderful day.
