Topic: RE: Sleeping alot
If you aren't getting enough protein you most definatly will be lacking in energy and sleeping a lot. I was very bad at getting my protein this last summer and I slept most of the summer away, as well as almost passing out because I was so weak. Please Please take my advice and get all that protein in. There really is a reason they have you take it. It took me a long time to find some I liked. But once I did things have improved tremendously. Not that you don't need blood work also, you could be low in iron or Vit B also. I just am sharing what happened with me. Good luck. Cindy G.
Topic: RE: OT - Please hug your kids today!!
I am so very sorry for your lose. It is so tragic when children die. There is just an empty place in our hearts when this happens. Please give my sympathy to the family and all the friends. I will say a prayer to help in their healing process.
I am afraid when my children were little I didn't appreciate them like I should have. Now they are grown and I miss the days of them being little. They have turned out very well and I am thankful for that. I do hug them every chance I get and Thank the Lord for allowing me to be a part of their lives.
Good luck, you have a tremendous job ahead of you helping your friend through this time. I wish you strength and wellness.

That's so cute. You appetite has a life of it's own
I don't really get an appetite, like hunger pains in my pouch. I get light headed and cramping real low in my intestines. A lot of times when I eat I' not hungry, it's a bad habit we all get into and hard to brake and that's why I love working but today I'm off and it's raining, wind blowing and dark out so I'm staying in doors.

I only get tired when it comes to house work
All jokes put to the side. I would call your surgeon and see about getting your blood work done and seeing what's up. Might be low in B12 or something else.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 


Someone told me to use two cans, one in each hand and rotate those arms around and around and it will tighten them up. I'm still deciding if I want the pea cans or the corn cans. Don't want the peas getting jealous now

Hi Monica
What I eat is not always protein but it's like my body starts screaming FEED ME YOU EVIL WITCH, FEED ME
I always have to keep food in my pouch are I get light headed and feel confused sometimes. I really need to find a bar that I like and I can carry in my purse with me.
This morning was a good example. Had a very busy morning. Took my girlfriend to work at 5:30am as they might be calling for bad weather later this afternoon and her car won't make it through that kind of weather and she just started working there. We are working at the same assistant living, I helped her get the job. Come home and here is this poor man chasing his dog down as his dog broke the leash while out walking him. I helped him retrieve his dog for him and he was thankful as he had to get to work. Wonder why dogs never go to their owners but will be glad to approach a stranger. My son missed the bus so out the door I go with him. I normally force myself to eat something every morning but did not get a chance so I was only running on coffee this morning. Decided to go grocery shopping while I was in town. I'm standing in the store and my head starts to hurt, slight headache coming on and then I feel light headed. I tell myself to hurry and get out of there but I'm not done shopping. I forgot the cabbage and turned around to head towards the veggies and totally forgot what I was going for. Took me a while to remember. It's a not a good feeling at all. I guess I been working around those Alzheimer's patients to long
I just ate a half a roast beef sandwich and feel so much better now.

Donna I find that when I eat eat and increase my protein intake I also lose more weight. Strange but true. When I get stuck at a plateau for a few weeks I then increase my intake. You are inspirational to me Donna. I started out at 330 and now weigh in at 208. I am excited to be 9 lbs from onederland. I find it hard to believe that I could drop to the 150's. I am 58 years old and I am so very thankful for this journey.
Eat and lose...happy days,
Monica
happier, healthier, sexier, thankful

Thank you for the reminder. I am 58 and my children are all adults now. I appreciate and love them so. You never stop being a parent no matter how old your children become. My God bless this family and bring them peace and comfort after this horrible loss.
