Saturday Roll Call

Stacy, have a great day.

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all are doing well today. Today I need to clean the house and start laundry, do some grocery shopping and spend some time with the new kittens we got the other day.

I had a really hard time with the shakes last night :(
At first I thought desert all the time! awesome! now I just want something that isn't sweet but doesnt taste like crap. Maybe this is some mind trick to give me an aversion to sweets.

Talking to my husband last night, he tells me.. well this is your life now youll never be able to eat normally again. I just about smacked him. All this time going through this with me and he still has no idea what it's really about. I think I finally got through to him that Ill be able to eat anything just only a little bit. And besides, eatting healthy is the goal! He has been having his own healthy eating issues because of his recent migraines so he has been abruptly switched over to a very healthy diet.

I have no fun plans for this weekend, just normal house work and shopping. Maybe we can go to Cozley zoo, that would be fun. :)

Karmie, you will soon be passed the shakes and back to real food. Hang in there.

Just remind your DH that you are doing this for you. Not him. Even if he benefits from it, this was your decison to get healthy.

 Hi Lisa and Illinois Friends!

I have been up and about for awhile but just now checking in.  I am enjoying this day.  I slept late and had snuggle time with each cat.  They all love it when they can have exclusive one on one time.  No special plans for today.  I like to have one day of just messing around.  Probably won't make it out of my jammies.  Tomorrow is church and errands and what ever other trouble I can think of.  

The weather has been beautiful.  I need to power wash my deck and clean out the dog house that my outside cats use in the winter.  The straw gets yucky by the end of summer.  Maybe tomorrow.  

Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful weekend!

Late but checking in - whats shaking IL ? All is good.

Good Evening Illinois,
I am really late checking in today.  I got home lastnight after being out of town all week, came home and cleaned this morning, had a massage at 3:30 and came back to more cleaning.  Tomorrow will be laundry and yardwork and a memorial service for a coworker.  He lost his life way to young.  Then I leave tomorrow evening to go out of town and won't be back home until Wednesday evening.  Then we leave Thursday for our reenactment in Rockford next weekend.  I will post later this week the details about that incase anyone wants to make their way out there.  It is a great time and alot of neat people.

Lucy, I am glad to see you are able to get a little more sleep.  Even if they are just cat naps, pain takes a huge toll on your mental and emotional state.  And unless you are mental and emotionally rested, you are never going to get better.  Everytime my knee hurts I think about how much pain you must be in, and realize my pain is nothing compared to what you have said.  I hope you get some relief soon.



Talk to everyone later
Sheri 

Hi Sheri. Thanks for recognizing and acknowledging the pain that I have being having. No one knows how severe it has been and that I have been going through this pain for 8 weeks now! You seen to be very insightful.

This has been the worst pain that I ever had. And, I've had many surgeries in the past. Worse then a root canal and a strangulated hernai! I pray that the shots work or even lessen my pain to that of soreness. Over time I know that I will need a total knee replacement.

It sounds like you've had a busy weekend so far. Sorry to hear about the loss of your co-worker. That's got to be so emotional for you. Take some quiet time for just you. That's important too.

Thanks again.
Lucy
