Tremendous Tuesday
Hi Jules and my OFF famiily:
Saw your post last night but decided to wait til this morning (my morning). It's so interesting to read your description ... like reading Maui Karen's description of her home in Hawaii (you'll meet her sometime soon, I hope; she's a neat lady).
I know what you mean about liquid form ... I had to take Zoloft in liquid form and it was really yucky.
I took Juliette to the vet yesterday; she's healthy although a little overweight (9.5 pounds). She has a little allergy causing the bumps on her chin, so I have drugs to get rid of it ... but so far she's avoiding eating the wet food ... she ate it every other day until I had to put food it in. So I may have to find another way. She won't let me pill her. She was really good at the vet though.
Well, I have to get ready to go to the doctor. New doctor in my new city. I hope I like him. I have lots of issues to take care of .... hope I remember them all.
Have a good day. Debbie, I miss the fall colors of Michigan.

She is still having issues with me picking her up. I tried pilling her like I used to pill Kittle and Cinnamon (pick 'em, hold 'em like a baby, open the mouth and shove it down, then blow down their nostrils ... it works!) ... she's a strong little girl and fought me. The food I gave her this morning is still sitting there. I might try the cheese and the ground up pill and see if that works.
Yeah, I didn't think she was overweight either; I thought she looked good.

Since having the flu shot I have been wheezing. My PCP wants to see me this morning. The RN said to use my inhalor. Rats - it makes me so jittery! As a natural born 'Nervous Nelly', I don't like anything to add to anxiety. Of course not breathing causes anxiety too.
I had an excellent work out in the gym. Not many people, the music was perfect and I had a relaxing work out. Leg presses easy at 160 lbs, today I'll try 180 lbs. My legs are pretty strong. Probably from carrying around 320 lbs all those years. Arms are weak in comparrison but a work in progress.

Good morning
Herdy Gerdy - Go online to bariatric eating and check out their vitamins. I don't know if they service Austrailia but worth the try. they have chewable vitamins developed for WLS patients.
You can order each month or put on autoship. They also sell nectar which is a protein powder that I find tasty. It took me ages to find one I really enjoy. Most drug stores sell B-12 sublinguals which is easy and palitable. Citracal makes what they call calcium "petites" not very petite but smaller that regular calcium tablets. Be sure the calcium you take is citrate and not carbonate for better absorbtion. The biggie for me was finding a palatable iron. Bariatric eating.com sells chewable iron that is better tasting than any other I've tried but I can't say they taste "good".
You are wise to have the calves checked. Could just be too little potassium but it is better to know for sure.
Today I am lazing around the house. Housecleaning this a.m. then reading this afternoon. Maybe a little laundry while I read. Proably take my nook outside and read on the patio if it is a gorgeous as it has been lately. too early to tell. It is still a little dark outside but I can see the sun peaking around the trees so should be nice.
Sending good thoughts to everyone.

HI Everyone,
Yesterday I called my primary care doctor to see if he'd arranged getting my back shot for pain and he said the back doctor said no- he still thinks it is cancer and the shot would be dangerous. They don't have any of the reports from SF so I will have to get a copy for them. They still might not OK it now. They are saying I need a bone biopsy. I'll call the oncologist and get his opinion. To me it's just a surge of fear again. I know in my head that it's the fall, nothing more, but cancer is a word that has a very magnified effect. I'll get it straightened out but maybe no shot for a while. I've lived with it all for over two months so I'll be fine.
Today I am going to the DMV for a handicap placard. I mailed the paperwork to the DMV over two months ago but they are so backlogged that it seems to be lost. I waited on their phone line for over half an hour yesterday just to be told that they are way behind on paperwork due to the budget. It tirns out that if I take the paperwork to the DMV here I can get the placard right then... damn... I will encounter a huge line but I'm going straight to the handicapped window. I also have a call in to the medical supply company to check on my wheelchair- another voice mail. It can be quite frustrating.
I feel pretty good this morning. I took a xanex to help me sleep last night- the cancer word was back in my mind. In my mind I am so young (no jokes :))... I don't want to deal with this stuff until I'm OLD!
Well, it's off to the races... I'll get back to you soon...
