Wacky Wednesday Weigh in!

Good Morning,

Yes today is Wednesday.  With Monday being the holiday it sure messes with your mind on the days of the week.  Hey Gus, day after tomorrow is Friday.  I know, oh so well, how much he loves that day, as does many folk on here.

So how is the week going for most of you?  I know that Barb went to work yesterday.  How wonderful is that?  Chris S should be in Seattle now, getting ready for a 3 day walk.  Steph is in Boston, I can just see that sitting on a porch and watching the waves of the Atlantic. Lu, is in the middle of another grueling week at work.  Rhonda,  is hiking for a living, walking out there in the heat of the desert and being her wonderful upbeat self.  She cannot wait till Barb gets here.  Bebaugh, well today is her surgery.  I can't wait to hear that it's all over for her and that she is on the losing side with the rest of us "losers".  Joy is having troubles with the cutting of her income.  This state sucks.  When people really need help and aren't ripping off the system, it seems that they are the ones that get hurt the worst, everyone who doesn't need it really, seems to know how to work it.  I am so sorry Joy for the problems.  That is all I can think of right now. If I missed you, I am pleading the issue of the old....

I have an other request.  Can I once again ask for prayers?  I am having issues with my back.  Yesterday brought me back to the doctors sort of an emergency type thing.  My scar is not healing well.  Had I waited till my appointment next week, I would have been back in the hospital again.  Right now, the doctors, I had two working on me yesterday, cut away some tissue, cleaned up my scar, and I have two spots on my scar that now leaves me with holes in my back.  The one near the bottom of my back is about an inch deep.  My poor hubby, in addition to all his other duties now needs to pack my wound and clean my dressing everyday.  If this does not heal, I will go back into the hospital again and they will put me out again, and redo the scar.  What I went through yesterday was horrible and painful, hence the reason I am awake right now.  Pain meds wore off.  I am at my wits end.  I just want to get better, get into therapy and move on.  Besides the patient factor, I need healing prayers as well.  Thank you all, for listening, I complain alot...but I know how well I did during surgery because of what all of you gavr me, your love and prayers. 

Ok, enough of my crap, get on with those numbers.  I look forward to seeing how well everyone has done this week.  Let's get on the wagon and lose lose lose, the Holidays are coming, and it would be so nice to not worry about a pound or two because we "ate" a little goodie or two.

Have a wonderful, funfilled and happy day.

Love and hugs, Diane

Diane,
I'm praying for you! I hope you are pain free very soon. Take care.
Bebaugh wishing you a successful surgery and welcoming you to the bench!
Everyone have an awesome day!
Take care Diane

Diane, 

You are in my prayers for sure.  This darn back thing is a pain in more ways thatn one.  This is going to pass I know it.  You were doing so well for a while and then this crap.  Frustrating it is.

Lori if you read this can you do earlier on Sunday? maybe 7:30 or 8:00?  I know it is a drive but Barb was hoping to hit the road a bit earlier  i think.  Le me know and we shall work it all out. 

Well I forgot to weigh and if I leave my office now I am goin to crawl back into the bed and pass out.   I have more paperwork to catch up on this morning so that is why I am here at 4:00 a.m ish.

Well got to go and do my stuff everyone have a wonderful day.  And I htink I am even steven on my wieght or was yesterday a.m.  Have a great day.

Rhonda

Diane - What the He**....Honey I am so sorry this happened...did the Drs say why this happened?  OMG I feel so bad for you and just wish I could wave a magic wand and make  you all better again.  You KNOW that you will be in my prayers FOR SURE....

I am up this morning and getting ready for a very busy rest of the week.  Working an estate sale the next 3 days, then the flea market on Sat and a baby shower on Sunday, nails and toes on Monday morning....yikes....I am already looking forward to Monday afternoon so I can rest...lol.

Iknow everyone is gonna have a blast on Sat and Sun with Rhonda - she is definitely the hostess with the mostest.

Yesterday I went to see Dr Lee and got a clean bill of health for the rash issue...yes "victoria" is all better now....and yet we still have no idea what caused the problem...hmmm - I am thinking maybe a bug bite on top of the major stress of the break up with the boyfriend....we all know that stress does weird things to our bodies.

Ok well everyone have a great day - I need to go pack some healthy food for the day and then jump in the shower so I can be out of the door by 7:00

Hugs to all

Diane,
See if they will send you to a wound care specialist for the wound that sounds infected. There is a wound center in Ontario a bit away from you. Its at Rancho Specialty Hopsital. Its called wound care advantage.

Good Morning Diane and the Cali Crew!!!

I am so sorry your back is giving you more problems Diane.  You will definately be in my prayers. 
It is hump day.  I am glad it is a short week but it sure messes with you.  I had to think hard what day it was this morning.  It was hard to get up this morning too.  Don't know why.  I got about 6 hours of sleep last night.  I am sitting here at work though working on the first cup of coffee.  Maybe that will wake me up some.  I am going to get my protein shake ready soon too and I will be good today. 

My son started school yesterday.  He had a great day and is excited to go today.  That is a good way to start out the year.  I wish he was like this all year but the newness wears off soon enough.  Next year, he start Jr High.  Man...where did the time go. 

Everyone have a great day.  Smile at someone today.

Good Morning Diane and Cali Friends,

Diane, now you have words with that back of yours and tell it to stop that!  It was supposed to be a pain in the back, not a pain in the arse!  I continue with good thoughts and prayers so that you're feeling like a million on Sat.

Well it is WWW and I am pinch hitting for our Chris with the numbers, so post em, up down or stay the same.  We love you all just as you are!!!  I am down 1 lb this week, whoo hoo.  I'll take it.

My first day of work was wonderful.  Everyone is so nice, friendly and helpful.  I learned a lot and am on my own today as the gal who has been there doing the job has the day off.  No worries as I have stuff to do.

Well, I gotta get shaking and in to the shower.

Hugs and love to all,
Barb

Diane,
hope you start to healing fast!  I will say an extra prayer.

I have  lost 2 pounds this week.  I think all the walking is finally kicking in!  I went out and pulled a size 10 dress for a wedding off the shelf and just bought it.  Came home and it fits like a dream.  who would of ever thought!

Everyone have a great day!

Good Morning Diane and California,

Well here I am in MA. Had to come to the library as we haven't been able to pick up WiFi anywhere. Just wanted to say hi and tell you I'm enjoying vacation. Weather has been just lovely. Cool mornings and evenings, warm during the day, but not opressively hot. Not doing much but spending time with family and walking around town. Friday I will be going to an antique fair about 2 hours away and meeting my cousin there. She is driving up from NY and we are spending the day together. I'm so excited. I haven't seen her for about 8 years.

Diane, I am so sorry to hear about your back issues. You need to stop this crap and get all better already. Enough is enough. Anyway, I will keep you in my thoughts. And as Liz said, try and get them to send you to a wound specialist. That might be best.

OK, I'm outta here. Talk to you all next week when I get home. Have a great week everyone and I hope you are all remembering to do something wonderful for yourself each and every day.

Stephanie

Diane,
I am so sorry to hear about your back!  I hope the wound begins to heal and  you won't need to be put back in the hospital.  When I had my VBG in 2004 my scar didn't heal well either and I had a huge gaping hole.  It hurt like h*ll!  So, I can empathize.  However, I didn't have to sit with my back up against something so that I can't even phathom!!!  You are in my prayers and sending you healing thoughts!

As far as weight loss... I lost 1.5 lbs this week.  Sigh!  Today is 8 weeks out for me for my revision to RNY.  I've lost a total of 33.5 lbs.  Nothing to shake a stick at but me and my impatient self wants it to move a lil faster!  :o)  Patience is NOT my thing.  At least I am still losing so I have to look at the bright side of life... right?  Right!  

Okay, I'm done on the pity pot.  :o)

Ya'll have a great day and take care of yourselves!
