Fantastic Friday Wassup?
Good Morning Family,
I am up late again. Being on prednisone does that a lot. Keeps me up, and hyper.
I saw my orthopedist about the ongoing back pain from my fall, and he finally ordered an MRI. That is scheduled for this evening. Then, I got my PT/INR done again, and it is almost down to my good range. I have to go back on Tuesday to get it rechecked again. Then, I had a follow-up at the kidney specialist's, and she said everything looked good, except my sodium is still down. She thinks it may be the Cymbalta I am on for depressions. She told me to talk to my psychiatrist. So, I talked to him, and he instructed me on how to taper off of it, and then told me he will have my sodium rechecked. He also told me to see how I feel after being off of it, and he will give me something else if I need it.
Friday will have me at an AA meeting and taking Utley for a good walk. I need the exercise. Then, in the evening, I need to get my MRI. I have to remember to ask for the disc, so the doc can examine it.
I almost forgot the best news. A little over a year post-op from my RNY, I weighed 199. That was a 106 pound loss from the day I had my RNY. Then, I had my two year alcohol relapse, and lost control of my diet. My weight went up to 245 for about three years then. Since I have been sober for two years, I have gradually gotten control of my diet. A month ago, I weighed 120 at the kidney specialist's. Today, I weighed 216. Woohoo. I need to spend more time with the grandchildren.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.
Hugs and love to all,
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.

Hi Trish,
Sounds like your weight is comming around!!!!! I need to get back on track!!!!! I am having water weight issues and need to go to the Doc before I head to Colorado!!!!! I leave in a month. Ill be gone for about 6 weeks.
I to am in Mommy mode. I am taking care of my cousins 2 boys for a few days while they move in a new rental house. It seems they move about every nine months to a year!!!!! Very frustrating. I hope they stay in this house for a while. The rent is cheap and they can afford this one I hope. Her husband thinks he can live for free!!!!!
Its 354 and I cant seem to sleep and I dont know why. I am thinking of a lot of things I think. Driving over 2000 miles, being mommy, adhearing to a budget now and that is a good thing!!!!!, doing something new that I have never done like hiking the Rocky Mountains!!!!! I cant wait to do that....It is on my bucket list per say!!!!!!

Good morning Trish and everyone.....
Trish....am I reading wrong? It says a month ago you weighed 120 and today 216???? HUGS!!!!
I am here early for a change. I couldn't sleep. Last night a friend and I decided we wanted a small cone from DQ. Well that was a mistake. I haven't had sugar in a long time and WOW did it kick my butt!! I dumped and was in such pain I will never do that again!! Back to nothing but the BASICs!! Glad my pouch still works after all this time!
My daughter is getting married in September. Her significant other is Megan. That isn't an issue but, it was when I was living there. My daughter was never home. I did everything 24/7. She would come home about 6:00PM to have dinner now and then. Once my granddaughter was in bed (8:00PM) she would leave until the next evening. I was the MOM totally for most of the year!! I did it all. She had no idea what was going on with the kids. She paid no attention to the kids when she was there with her friend. She never even spoke with me. I asked for help and never got it. THAT is why I came back to MN. She needed to be the MOM again!! I couldn't handle her behavior and run the entire household. I was worn down and in so much pain. Plus, I was allergic to the dog so bad I had asthma problems all the time. My depression was off the charts!! I was so physically sick by the time I got back to MN I was in bed for 3 weeks!! We have now have our old relationship back. She is a better mom and I am happy....so are the kids. Although my grandson is not happy with marriage, he is dealing with it best as he can. He will be moving here soon!! Please don't mention this anywhere else...thank you!
I will save the issue with my ex SIL for another day...what a mess!
I am going to go run some errands now (6:22 AM).
I wish you all a great day. I will check in later. Prayers as always for many in need.
Love and hugs to all....you are terrific.....connie d

Good morning my OFF sistas!
So, since we're all discussing WL, I'm very pleased to report that the scale dropped another pound this morning. Just 2 more pounds to go to meet my big goal of 100 lbs gone! C'mon, c'mon! I think "mommy mode" is agreeing with me. Lugging this 27 lb sack of sugar (aka BENNY!) around all day is working!
I am very excited that my oldest daughter is coming for the weekend. She is just the diversion that Chris and I need right now. We both could use someone else to talk to. And it will be good for Carrie to have some time away from grad school. She needs a mental break, too.
Lots going on here today, so I'll sign off now. Connie, honey, I feel your pain. Family problems just affect us all so deeply, don't they? I'm glad you are back in MN. It's better for you. I always pray for you and your family. You all have been through so much. Be strong, like you always are.
Love you all!

Hey Vickie,
Nothing is solid yet but looks like I'm coming over your way to babysit Oliver for Michael and Ginger. If you are at the lake house is it close to San Antonia? I would love to do the river walk. What dates will Butch be home. Will try to schedule around his schedule if it works out for Michael. Mag

Oh, hurray! Yes I am 40 minutes south of Austin and 30 minutes north of the SA riverwalk. I hope we can work it out. Butch comes home on May 9th, and then we will be heading to Nac to work on getting the house ready to sell (one last time!). Are you coming before then? Email me the details, okay?
Can't wait!
Can't wait!

Hi Trish and my OFF family:
Boy, I am having a hard time posting today. Firefox is balking on me; I've reverted to Explorer.
I got a chance last night to watch the White Sox and they stunk it up. My salsa chicken was great and I have lots left over, which is good because I don't have any money, so I'll be eating it for a while.
Back to work today; woke up with a headache again and I have no Imitrex left. This spring weather has my migraines returning every morning. I know we're getting a storm today.
Congrats on your weight loss, Trish. I keep going up. Or at least now I've settled at a weight.
Anyway, not much happening here. Have a good day.
