What's New - Friday - Fourth of July!!!
Happy July 4th Laureen and Everyone! Best of luck to you today, Laureen! Can't wait to hear all about your experience...... I can't imagine.
Good News/Bad News at my 4-week post-surgery visit. Bad news is protein and potassium are both low. But... I can now eat all foods except beef and pork and raw veggies so it will be easier I think. Bad news #2: My b/p is causing complete havoc. There were times they couldn't get a read in the office. They changed my medicine and feel strongly my energy should improve in 2-3 days. The BEST News: I DON'T HAVE TO CRUSH MY PILLS ANYMORE! If you heard a scream of delight yesterday, that was me.
So, I've made protein jello. I'm off to the store for bananas and kiwi (both high in potassium). I'm shooting for 120 grams of protein today so wish me luck with that one!
We're supposed to see our kids and little grandson this afternoon so that makes it a very good day! They have a block party on their street every July 4th and have games and lots of contests for the most interesting things. Should be a great time.
Hubby is Navy Retired so everyday is Remember the Troops but especially today. My brother-in-law is still active duty Navy and just received a promotion. Another reason to celebrate as they are hoping to be transferred to the West Coast. We all have our fingers and toes crossed it works out well for them. They aren't that happy in Jacksonville, Florida.
Enjoy your holiday! Hugs and prayers go out to you and yours,
Kathi
Can you imagine doing a 5k when you were at your heaviest??? You are a LIVING WOW MOMENT today! Thanks for the shot in the arm. There is NO WAY I could do a 5k........I've been so bad about exercising, but I sure can enjoy it vicariously through YOU.
Sending you a big hug of congratulations!
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen
