What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
Good morning JB and menu crew. How fortunate is your Mom that you and Grim can install the flooring. I wish I was more handy at that stuff. I can do the bulk, but have trouble with the finish cuts and trim. I am Irish with no patience with that stuff. I just got a quote to have someone refinish my hardwood in dining room, $800 for a 14 x 14 area. Wi****rusted myself with the sander...LOL
QOTD - I dont have an answer - but am kind of interested in seeing the Karate Kid sequel....

Good morning! Thank goodness the sun seems to be appearing today. It was COLD and rainy all day yesterday.
QOTD: I don'****ch a lot of movies so I can't think of one I'd care about a sequel to. I did watch Patriots Day for the first time yesterday and thought it was an excellent and moving film. Since we live in the area and had friends who were close to the explosions, it was very chilling to watch the re-enactment of the marathon bombing in Boston. I remember watching the news while they were chasing the perpetrator in Watertown.

Mornin'!
so i've been having slight nausea, dizziness, and headache for the last week or so. I called my PCP's office yesterday. They thought it might be a leak from a lumbar puncture I had 10 days ago. So I contacted the provider who did the puncture. He said he would not be surprised, and told me to go to the ER so they could do a blood patch. But then one of the anesthesiologists from the pain clinic at the hospital (who would be doing the blood patch) called to ask me more questions. He was not 100% convinced it was a lumbar puncture leak, and suggested dehydration or orthostatic hypotension. I highly doubt it's dehydration since I drink water like a fish, but when I mentioned that I was a bariatric patient and I know several other bariatric folks who've dealt with orthostatic hypotension, that he could be on to something. He agreed (he did not know until I told him that I was a bariatric patient). Although it's very odd that this would all the sudden start up this far out from surgery. So I have no idea. At any rate, the anesthesiologist said if it is related to the lumbar puncture, it should resolve on its own, and unless it gets severe, he'd just let it run its course. So I guess I'll hang on a little longer. I just hate feeling like something's not right, though, even if it's not particularly bothersome.
we're going to a genealogy workshop tonight at the public library. It's more for DH since I went to the same workshop about three or four years ago, and it opened up a whole new world to me. Hope it does for DH as well!
I'm so impressed you guys are installing hardwood floors, JB. My mother always told me when I was growing up that I should marry someone who knows how to fix things. My father was NOT handy. DH is really great at things like yardwork (which he loves), but he's not particularly handy. I really wish one of us was!!
accountability has been stable - not great, but not bad. Good choices, but I always seem to be on the higher end of my calorie range. Still, weight has dropped another fraction..
3 years out:
B: homemade Greek yogurt with chocolate protein powder and strawberries
MS: coffee with half & half, Miralax/protein shake
L: cottage cheese and strawberries
D: if I have time, Caribbean pork/veggie stir fry. If I don't, then turkey taco meat with lettuce, tomato, plain Greek yogurt, and salsa
Hope you feel better soon.
I took some Genealogy classes a few years ago but never got into it. I have several hobbies and really don't need anything else. It is interesting though. My mother's mother and sister disappeared when my mother was about 10 years old. They never heard from them again. I tried to find out about them but didn't find anything after the year they disappeared.
