Freaky Friday...What's Up?

Connie,

I haven't been able to reach her in ages. Last time we spoke she wasn't well and then impossible to reach. So sad.

Let's hope your bone scan is good too. Fragile bones are such a concern as we get older. I may not always feel like those weight bearing exercises but obviously they have helped.

Kisses & love to you
Annette

Congrats on the bone scan. When I was out with Patricia yesterday, she said she was having bone loss. She is a skinny little woman and has MS, has not had WLS. But she does not eat well, partly because she doesn't have enough money and has to spend her money on her drugs (she does not get disability or Social Security; didn't work long enough to get it). She spends what she can on her cats and her rescue. I told her she needs to get some calcium and Vitamin D in her.

Eileen,

MS is one nasty disease. Remind Patricia that she needs to take special care of herself or she won't be of any use to her animals. Maybe that will convince her to get the calcium and vitamin D.

I had my scan and was ok..   MY dr told me in addition to the exercise , to eat 3-4 nofat low sugar yogarts a day along with Citracal D ...I take 1200 mg of those and found a wonderful yogart that is only 50 calories a cup and no fat and SO YUMMY . I freeze it and it tastes just like icecream in case anyone wants to try it ..
My fav snack now ..
Hugs

Shirley,

I eat plenty of cottage cheese - one of my new found vices - along with 2000 mg of Calcium and plenty of D's. My doctor said that's what was needed according to labs.

What brand of yogurt do you use? When I've tried to freeze yogurt, it always turns into a solid chuck, too hard to spoon out.

Good Morning All,
I had some trouble getting to sleep too, but it was because I was so cold! I tried for a while and finally got up to adjust the thermostat. It was OFF- no wonder I was freezing! My husband and I have different internal thermostats!
I posted late last night about my Mom and gambling exploits. Today I am starting to get ready for home. It's been the BEST week, perfect for what ails me, but I miss my Mom and my daughter and my dogs so it's time to go home.
Tonight we have our last hurrah- the concert with Lady Antebellum...we have great seats- hopefully it will be weather just as it was last night- about 70 degrees.
Happy Surgiversary to Maui Karen!
Hugs to all of you!

Happy Friday! My computer problems were the result of loading the newest Adobe Reader update! A friend recommended a guy who has a small computer repair shop in his garage. Wow, he really knows his stuff. It took him about an hour and $20.00 to fix the problem. He also removed a bunch of junk and cleaned everything up. He's going to be my "go to guy" for sure in the future

This morning I get my hair trimmed. Need it a bit shorter for this hot weather.

May try the craft show after my haircut before it gets too hot. I think I'll park and  take a shuttle so I don't have to walk so far just to get to the entrance.

Nothing much else planned for the day. I'll be leaving Sunday very early, about 5am, so have a lot of junk to do before then. Need to attempt to mow the lawn with this boot on (may hire a neighbor kid), pack for the beach trip, pay some bills, arrange for someone to water the garden for a couple of days until Mike gets back, just that kind of stuff.

Happy weekend everyone!
