Just Checking In....

I don't post much lately....first the computer was down and there's been one thing after another but one of my New Year's resolutions was to "put in my two cents worth" more often on OFF.  I had a physical with my PCP this morning and a mammogram and both went well.  My Dr. is very happy and proud of me and even called me "gorgeous" this morning.  HAHA.  I told him that made my day.  I have now lost 120 pounds.....7 pounds below my bariatric surgeon's goal for me.  I feel better than I have in years and years except for the usual bit of osteo-arthritis now and then.  We have tons of snow here in NW North Dakota and more is coming the forecasters say.
Next week DH and I will go to Bismarck, ND for my husband to see his cardiologist and to have his pacemaker/defib. unit's batteries changed or perhaps a new unit "installed" in his chest. This hospital is about 225 miles from where we live so I hope and pray we don't have a blizzard or the roads or interstate closed due to heavy snow, etc.   DH has had this unit almost 6 years now.  For many years I weighed 75-80 pounds more than him and now I weigh many pounds less than him.  He's average tall @ 5'8" and weighs about the same as he did at age 22 and when we got married.  Never, ever did he have a weight problem but I was up and down and up and down for the 48 years we've been married.  Now I'm "gorgeous"...hahahaha..
Just had to say that.   Don't know about the gorgeous part but I feel so damned good and the looking good is an extra bonus.
Hoping to keep up with all that's going on with each and every one of you and good wishes and encouragement going out to all of you that need it.
Love & Hugs,
Sandy

Hey Millie the Loser yourself....haha  Love being called that!!
How are you doing friend?

Love,
Sandy

Sandy, I am so happy to hear from you.  I've been wondering where you were.  "Gorgeous", yes, you are!!  You've done a great job and I'm very proud of you.  I can remember when you had your surgery.  You have surpassed me, girly.
Good wishes and blessings for your DH.  Take care and stay warm.
Hugs,
Pat A

Hiya Pat....Thanks for the reply and I'm anxious to get caught back up with everyone.  How's the snow situation in Colorado?

Love, Sandy

Sandy, Our weather here has not been bad.  It was in the 40s here today.  However, we are going to get hit with a cold blast on Thursday where it will only get up to a high of 14, yikes!!!  Thank goodness we don't have much humidity.  I think our whole country is in the deep freeze.
Love,
Pat A

well gorgeous, way to go!!!!


hugs to you, jacki

Thanks Jacki....We're all gorgeous people....EVEN Marc!!  haha

Hugs back to you,
Sandy

Isn't it nice to be called gorgeous? I'm sure you deserved it. Congrats. Let's see a photo of you.

Stay safe on those NoDak roads. Having lived in the Dakotas, I know what it's like.

Hi Eileen...I did read your post about your "date".  Way to go girl!  He sounds nice and you deserve a nice fella.  Who knows, he just might give you another call....don't know why he wouldn't.  Yes, the roads are icky and heavy with snow and as long as I've lived here. (67 years) I never get used to the crappy white stuff so it's been "Slippin' and a Slidin'--Movin' and a Groovin"  quite a bit already this year.  It sounds like you've had your share of slippery rds and snow in Michigan also.  Take care and keep warm Eileen.
Hugs,
Sandy
