What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers?
Good morning :)
My plans to get the oil changed last week were foiled by the strange abdominal pain (ruled to be muscle pain). Ended up being called in to see the midwife and sent to the ER for blood work and evaluation. Gallbladder and kidneys looked good, so that is a relief. So today I'm going to try again to go for the oil change. I will do a few other errands along the way. This shop is further than I would normally go, but when we bought the car they gave us coupons for a few free changes.
QOTD: Being tired all the time was my main complaint prior to surgery... And is the only thing that was not resolved by surgery. I had a sleep study which showed no mechanical issues (i.e. no sleep apnea, no restless legs, etc.). I also had the best sleep at the sleep study which is totally opposite of most people. All my labs are good and so I still don't know why I'm so tired. I go to bed between 10-11pm and get up usually between 7-8am.
Post-op three years and one month.
Breakfast - cereal with milk (unusual but I woke up starving and shaky)
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - chicken
Snack - apple and pb
Dinner - taco salad
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
oh man yall
11 pm we let the dogs out to a barking ruckus. There was a 400 pound bear IN the chicken coop having a feast. We screamed and yelled and it left. Then again a different one- smaller came. We are down to 3 chickens and they are wandering around loose in our yard right now. This is with the new thick fencing on it also. Looks like im calling a handyman to install an electric fence TODAY. We can't let our dogs out there with this happening.
QOTD: I sleep a lot less than before. once I wake up i can't go back to sleep. I generally got o bed 11 pm- wake at 7.
food wasn't good yesterday or saturday. today will be a better day. apparently when im freaked out I eat....

That is scary!!! I would also think about setting up motion sensor lighting around your perimeter....the motion of the lights coming on might be enough to scare away the wildlife.
Keep us posted!
