Tuesday What's Happening?
Good Morning Family,
Words cannot express my gratitude for all the prayers and encouragement I have received from everyone here and at the PA forum. It has been a long, and painful time for me, and it will continue for a while yet. I would not be so upbeat without all your love throughout this recuperation period without your love.
It is so good to be home, and in my bed, with Utley by my side. I got home from the hospital around 6:30 last night. My sister has been so helpful to me throughout this timel She babysat Utley, and drove me home, running errands for me after getting me home first.
God has been so good to me. He is always good to me, but I rarely see it, because I am usually on some self-pity trip. Not so this time.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Trish,
Glad you are home and in your own bed.
Today is work and I am hoping that I get my last fellowship payment. I have this semester and I think I have a summer one due too and then I think my fellow ends…sad but they are limited to the time we are expected to complete our degree and mine was completed a while back but I have held off my paper work so I could get the assigned amount…so this will be my last really big pay day for scoring high on my GRE. Snif. But, shoping will occur soon.
hope you all have a great day.
Good mornin' ya'll.
Trish, I am so very happy to hear you are back home. Just having your own comfy bed and your own comforting furbaby will speed the healing! If God brings you to it, he will see you through it. I will keep you in my prayers.
Nothing happening here today. I did my treadmill, and that's the most ambitious thing I plan on doing until I have to drink my yummo barium before bed. Then another bottle tomorrow morning before my CT scan. Yippee doo!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!!

Good morning Trish and OFF-
Trish, so glad that you are home and with Utley. Nothing more powerful to the healing process than your own bed and beloved furbaby!
Not much new here on the upper Texas coast. Got soaked yesterday while out running errands. Think the new chiropracter may help, have to return tonight to get interpretation of xrays and adjustment. Yoga this morning helped a bit. So did the Alieve that I took last night and the dose I'll take this morning.
Lots of rain yesterday. Don't know what the total was for the area but it was a steady rain for most of the day. So while I got soaked running my errands I won't complain as the area needs so much more to return to normal water levels. The small pond on the refuge is starting to fill up after being dry for such a long time.
Well off to work on my files. Hope everyone has a great day and sending everyone in need positive vibes!

Good morning Trish and my OFF sistas!
Trish, I am so glad to hear that you got to come home. 6 days is a long time to spend in the hospital. I know how happy you must have been to have Utley by your side last night! I love sleeping with my little furbabies. They give me such comfort. Prayers going up for continued and speedy recovery.
Cindi, AMEN SISTA for the rain! There's actually a little water in the creek today. It's been bone dry forever.
Well, yesterday, I took myself in hand and got serious about breaking this stall I've been in since Thanksgiving. I did an all-protein diet yesterday. Almost an all-liquid protein diet, but not quite. I had 3 ProJo's, 1 Medifast soup, a chicken leg, and the last of the mini-meatballs I made for Benny last weekend. Well over 100g of protein for the day and no carbs to speak of. It was tough, but I made it through the day. And I'm down a pound this morning. From 186.2 to 185 this morning. At least it's moving in the right direction.
I'm encouraged and determined to stick it out for 3 days. Hopefully ketosis will begin to kick in late this afternoon and tomorrow will be easier. I've had one ProJo already this morning.
I just have to stop snacking and nibbling on carbs all day long. It's my biggest downfall. Always has been. Funny how we can convince ourselves that we can have something we know we shouldn't eat, isn't it? I took a look at what I was eating and I was appalled. Muffins for breakfast. Breadsticks dipped in cream cheese or peanut butter. Chips. Toast/bread with butter. Carbs, carbs, carbs. Not big amounts, but enough bites to add up to a stall and slight regain over the past month. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Got to stop.
Ah, me. At least I wasn't eating cokes and chocolate. Yet.
Well, not much new here. Just needed to get on and 'fess up!
Love you all!

Afternoon OFF family!!
Siting in my office all morning waiting for my appointment to show up...still no show. Sighs...I know he is at the SS office so that could be the reason. Had another couple stop in and ask for an application. Had another call to see if I could mail an application to her. Sure thing!!! Right now I have 3 all ready to rent and 3 more almost ready. Got to get them filled soon...:-)
Nice and sunny here today. 38* a little crisp but that is ok...no rain or snow...yet. Need to go get salt just incase for this weekend. Seems like I am always busy here...and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! :-)
Ok lunch is over so back to work I go...thoughts and prayers for all that need them!!!
HUGS
Good morning Trish and everyone....
Trish...glad you are home and resting now. Please take good care of yourself. Still sending up prayers for you!
My grandson Nic is at St Jude's...please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We are praying that no new Hot Spots are found anywhere!!
My alone time has turned into Gracie and me time. Had her all day and night last night. This morning her dad picked her up about 10:15. He will have her until tomorrow morning. Awwww one night alone!!!
I got a lot of phone calls made yesterday...finally!! It is so hard to do around Grace but I managed. Still need to find a storage space in St Cloud. I will do that later. I have a doctor appointment at 1:30. Going to get an injection in my shoulder. The one I had in my hip has helped quite a lot. With the move and long drive I need something to ease up the pain!!
Wishing you all a lovely day. I need to get a few things done before it is time for my appointment.
Prayers for so many in need. Where has everyone been?
Love and hugs to all....connie d
