What's New Saturday ?
Cindy, Boy, do you and Ron more than have your hands full. I hope that once you are finished with dealing with the house and it's contents that having the two moms in the same facility near you will help. It's so hard to sort through and have to get rid of someone else's treasures. I continue to collect way too many of my own. I don't want anyone else to have to dispose of mine but here I go still hanging on to far too much. Will be thinking about you as you go through this process. If not this visit to the coast another one. This year should allow us a bit more freedom than last year did between puppies, babies and houses!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good Morning Everyone. You all get up so early. You beat me every day. I am very fortunate to be able to sleep I guess. My usual rising time is around 7:15 or 7:30 but this morning I didn't haul my butt out of the sac****il 8:00. Oh, I have some nights that it is a little harder to get asleep especially when I had the stent in my ureter and was waiting for liptotripsy....there was always that pressure to that I had to void but since I had the procedure done last week I'm doing much better. Today, my "Hubbins" and I are driving over to a neighboring town to have someplace to go as we were getting "Cabin Fever" from this frigid winter and it's piles and piles of snow. I am going to look and see about getting a new bra if nothing else. I think I can go 2 sizes smaller in the band area but the cup size (B) should be the same. Who knows!! It seems I am losing weight starting at the top and working down. At almost 70 pounds lost I still don't know what size of pants that would fit and I still have 39 to go so do not want to buy anything expensive but sometimes you need to get something new to make you feel like you've accpomplished something.
I hope everyone is Safe and Happy and is having a great weekend.
Hugs & Squeezes.

Good morning Cindy and everyone........
A quiet day for me today. Still no news from New York with Nic's test results. Jamie called NY yesterday and the nurse said the rsults are in but the doctor will have to call her. What ever that mean!!!! So now we wait some more!
Dwayne and I are going to Iowa next weekend for a short visit. On the way back we will be stopping and spending a night with his children in southern MN. Then on to St. Paul to visit my other daughter and grands. It will be a whirlwind trip but it is just what we both need!!
Margo...my prayers and thoughts are with you!!
Everyone have a good weekend....pay it forward!!
Love and hugs to all.......connie d

Hi Cindy and my OFF family:
We are getting snowed on this morning ... snowing and blowing, just as predicted (for once, they were right). I wanted to go to a movie today, but will skip that plan and stay home. I have plenty to do at home, so not a problem. It's nice not to have to run around again.
I'm ticked off at my PCP. My legs have swelled up again, so I called him yesterday. The nurse called and said the usual: Elevate legs as often as possible, cut down on the salt, take an extra diuretic. Now, I know the extra diuretic can't be all that good ... it's depleting potassium. And we never found a reason for this swelling. I told her that. She said the doc said it's leaky veins and there's really nothing that can be done other than the above. Well, that's a pile of b.s. I can't spend my whole day with my legs elevated ... I work! My legs are down for at least eight hours ... so what do I do then? I asked about seeing another doctor ... she said no, and asked if I wanted to make an appointment to see my PCP. I said no, it didn't sound as if he had any answers, so why should I spend my money on an appointment with him. I was really frustrated. Do I see a cardiologist for this? An endocrinologist? I can self-refer ... unless they ask for a referral ... because my insurance doesn't insist on referral. I just want to find an answer. If the specialist says there's nothing to be done, then, fine, I'll just go on from there. But this is crazy. I don't want to keep up this cycle of swelling up and down. It hurts. It impede my PT progress.
No other big plans for the day ... stripped the bed, so the comforter is on its first cycle in the dryer (it usually takes at least three to dry) and maybe I'll get one other load of wash done. I want to make those almond flour cookies ... yeah, I know, I said that last week too ... I really want to make them this week! I need to get some minutes on my little bike and do my PT exercises. And some reading, etc. Maybe I'll get a movie on pay per view. Just a usual weekend at home.
Have a good day. The seafood and wine festival sounds nice ... better than snowy Michigan.
