Hello Everyone!

It's been a busy week with medical appointments...something I don't think I'll ever get used to!

I have always dreaded going to the doctor for even the most routine matter & now I have multiple appointments almost weekly. The good news is my wound from surgery (where they cut out the bacteria) is almost totally closed. They had estimated 6 months, and its just been over 3 so that is positive! The bad news is I have the same or a new UTI...I am waiting for the doctor to call me back as the nurse who called t me didn't know if it was the same bacteria.

Ugh...it was a UTI that caused my septis!

Judy had asked about 4th of July plans. We will be going to the festival they set up in our town: parade, food vendors, music, etc. & then the Fireworks.

We will take our granddaughter and her friend to the beach next week for a daytrip. They have a small amusement park, a good boardwalk, Grottos Pizza, and of course the ocean. I love going to the beach...hope we have good weather or we'll just switch to another day!

I don't know about doing a 4th of July barbeque yet...kind of up in the air.

Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Sam's don't have that - it is Italian - mild. But really nice... and very tender.

Nope no Costco by us but we do have a SAM's club. But maybe we can find that flavor elsewhere? What kind of flavor is Tuscany? Is it Spicy? Hot? Sweet? Might have to try it.

Hi Everyone!

I had begun a post yesterday when my computer decided to update & kick me off Lost every word I had typed!

Now I can't remember what I wrote!

Anyhow, it's Monday. Busy morning between lab work, doctor appointment, phone calls and cleaning up around here. Our granddaughter has been with her mom this past week and is set to return tomorrow. Love her to death, but have enjoyed the quiet time...no interruptions, no arguments or backtalk or stuff left all over the house. I will look forward to doing stuff with her, though, like going to the beach, etc.

My eating is still a struggle almost 2 years out of WLS. I have consistently tracked to hold myself accountable, but my calories and carbs get way too high at times. While I would love a pork tenderloin eating meat has always been difficult for me. I do a lot of eggs, fish & chicken. And then the sweet tooth calls...

I have gained 10 lbs. since my lowest weight. Some I blame on the recent surgery and related inactivity. I am not allowed to swim this summer which is my main enjoyment for exercise. I don't have all my strength back yet. Walking is now painful b/c I tripped and fell on my bad knee walking the dog. Grrrr...what a year and not half over...yet.

Judy, I LOVE strawberries which we get from the Amish now since we moved from the country and cant grow our own. I have gotten some from Sam's and they have been pretty sweet!

Julia, glad you don't suffer from the anxiety I do regarding your cancer check-ups. Best of luck!

Yvonne, I got a bike last summer and found my balance is off from my hearing loss so I cant ride. But kudos to you! I hear you about being embarrassed about your fall...I looked around to see if anyone watched me trip on the curb and fall...lol.

Hey H.A.L.A.

Well, that's all I have for today.

Kathy
