Morning all :)

Off to work this morning and may have to see my family doctor this afternoon as my blood work came back a bit wonky last week and I had to redo it on Friday, an errand or two, not sure what else. I see it's snowing out there - that should make for a fun drive to work. lol

8.5 years post-op

B - Premier protein shake sipped alongside my coffee

S - Greek yogurt, a few grapes

Have a good one,

Good morning!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Fingers crossed your blood tests are fine this time around Karen. Drive carefully.

Today’s menu is …

B- Chike HP Coffee

Snack- flat white coffee

L-Cottage cheese and diced tomatoes

Snack-Greek Yogurt

D-Lean ground veal, SF tomato sauce and cottage cheese

Cal-930, Carbs-50, Fat-42 Protein-96, Sugar-25, Chol-225

I'm hoping they are too - the Dr. thinks maybe the samples sat too long before analysis as just about everything was "off", not unlike my personality. lol

What is a flat white coffee?

Flat White is a strong, short drink of espresso-2 shots with steamed milk but not as hot as a latte. I love it because it reminds me of my childhood breakfast.

Karen I think your "off personality " is spot on as they say, wouldn't change a single thing about you.

Still in hospital, I think a cat scanis ordered for this morning.   Lots of screw ups with my food. As a result I ate almost nothing yesterday. I asked for a diabetic menu and decaf coffee. They subbed mac and cheese for the chicken stew and gave me fully caffeine ted tea

DH just brought me a Tim Horton breakfast wrap with turkey sausage so I will have half now and the other half later.   Morphine and Percocets are really helping. Sat up at 2am for the first time since before the fall.

Have a great day everyone. 

CC..I just saw that you hurt yourself...I hope that nothing is seriously wrong and that you start to feel better soon.  I am glad that the meds are helping.

Thanks Vicky. 

Staying in hospitals sucks. I survived my last one with protein bars and shakes.

Hope you are better soon.

Thank you Pat. My DH is the best husband eva, he brought a little cooler with ice packs and filled it with protein shakes, Greek yogurt, protein bars and Tim Hortons coffee. Man am I a lucky woman to be married to him, and that's not the morphine talking.

Going to try to stick to basics today, not stress myself out.  Have been reading books on simplifying life, find them soothing to read.  Also reading a book on work stress in Canada, how to deal with it, interesting. Tonight the gym sauna massage chair.
