Jeannie,
Thats good you have a surgery date. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Jeannie,
I'd say I'm glad I'm not alone with the eating thing, but it's not something we want to bond over, lol, right?
Glad you got the surgery scheduled. You will do fine!
Kathy
Yvonne,
I wi**** was just one or two snacks, but it is meals...poor portion control & poor snack choices.
Will see how today goes...
Is this the same friend you talk about? Funny how the crap continues even as we become aging seniors! I love my neighbor, but she wears me out. I think she has become a hypercondriac since she had breast cancer. She calls me over for some of the dumbest things like a ref mark on her thigh. She wanted to know if I thought it was a blood clot! And she is a nurse!
But I feel bad for both her & her husband who is terminally ill. Gotta take the bad with the good..

I totally agree with your doctor...I just can't see you suffering like this. Thank goodness we have pain meds, BUT they are not intended for lifetime use. Tell him to lop off some sags and bags while you are asleep! I'd sure love to get rid of some of that crap, but one of those surgeries would lead to five more....
Oh Jeannie:
I am excited for you but dread my own when the time comes. I see my surgeon in six months and need to lose another 30 pounds before he will do it...also, the fact that I had cellulitis in both legs (toes to groin) makes him hesitate...me too, to be honest. I greatly admire your courage. Yes, I agree this pain is truly nasty but I am also a weenie when it comes to surgery.
I send you much loving and positive energy & prayer for a successful surgery. *hugs*
Kathy,
I have been eating a lot of crappy food because I am just not cooking. We are eating the canned soups and beans that I have put up but I'm also eating crap. Damn. We've also had some cooler weather and I can say, knock on wood, summer has finally left us.
I'm getting the knee done...one more iron infusion and then a couple of week wait and it will be done. My poor knee is so messed up....hopefully I will do as well as my brother.
Okay, Nov. 4 is my penciled in surgery date. I see the blood doctor next week and go back for one more infusion and then I am ready. I have to tell you guys...I'm not really keen on this but the pain is now constant and nothing helps. The knee guy said, I knew you would come to your senses. No one should suffer like this. yep...that's what he said.
Hi Kathy,
I understand the night time eating. Ill have my snack and next i know im eating popcorn lately. At least its airpopped.
My friend kind of got mad today because she owed me money for gas taking her places. She didnt say it but i could tell by her expression.
Have a good weekend
Hello Everyone!
Almost dinnertime here on the East Coast & no one had posted! I know weekends can be slow on here...
I have done alot of emotional eating this week & am disgusted with myself...which seems to fuel the eating. Every morning I vow to get back on track & plan my meals, but go off in the evenings. It is very frustrating!
The weird thing is I am not gaining & have lost a few pounds. I would think with my one yr surgery coming up in 2 weeks the easy ride would be over. Not that I'm complaining, but I WANT to eat healthy...
It has been chilly & rainy here all wk. We hope to visit Philadelphia on Sunday when it clears out.
Jeannie & Nancy...I'd be procrastinating about such major surgery, too, but best to get it over with. Constant pain is no joke!
Julia I love a grilled hot dog with home fried potatoes w loads of onion & green peppers!
Yvonne, hoping that lamp helps out.
Everyone enjoy their weekend!
Kathy
