Congrats to everyone who's surgery has gone well!  and I offer up prayers for those about to sit next to me on the bench!  My God guide your surgeons hands and have an uneventful recovery. To those who are living without power and have died to due the Ice storms my thoughts and prayers are with them. I have been told in both the area where I currently live and where I am moving to it will flurry on Saturday.  Hopefully not too much and if so I will have everything loaded and unloaded before the majority hits. Since surgery I have only had problems with gas pains.  My surgeon says I can take any sublingual or liquid gas x type of product.  I am trying the strips but they don't seem to help much I think I just have too much gas.  I am walking and doing things pretty much as normal and it does seem to help.  I now know how my little grand baby feels when she is colicy.  Both of us complain we can't burt or pass gas!  LOL.   I am hoping to make it to one of the Springfield meetings after the New Year and give some hugs to those wonderful pray warriors! Stay warm and dry!

its just me again....I am feeling better and better. Was able to do my exercises today all the way thru today and even added the second set to all of them On the torture machine i am up to 110 bends now consistantly., and do that for 2 hours at a time.  I am pushing myself a lot since there will be 14 people at my house on the 18th for our Christmas. we are having it a week early. that way as soon as the doctor releases me to Joe and I are taking off on a cruise somewhere.  The 19th is our wedding anniversary. wow 20 years. can you believe that. ?  In the next day or so i have got to try and get my end of the year newsletter written up when i get it all finished i will maybe put it up on the whats happening. lol might be a little boreing for that tho.  Thanks to all that have sent me get well cards too. and the emails that i have been send bless you , it really has been nice to konw that is so neat to know that you all think of me often. love and miss each and every one of you....Jan

Morning everyone Today is my birthday!!!    A friend is taking me to lunch and I plan to have fun today.  I'm continuing to pray for everyone.  We dodged bad weather here, the rain held off/went further south until the after the temps dropped, otherwise it could have been bad.  Whew!  Have a great day everyone. 

First of all....I have everyone in my prayers!!! and love in my heart!!! My poor hubby has been working 12 hour night shifts since last Friday due to the ice and now they are predicting snow. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes just this last Tuesday and he is on medication and diet but, his energy is low. What a time for the ice and snow. He will be fine. With my surgery and low tolerance for sugar, it isn't taking much to change. He just eats like I do now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACI AND WELCOME NEWBIES TO THE BENCH! Love ya all! Stay warm and safe!!

It is still so icy and nasty here that we can not even get outside to clean the tree branches and stuff....hopefully it will melt enough today that we can get them piled up and off to the side to decide where when and what to do with them from there...we are wanting to go to Illinois to my SIL house for Christmas and if we do we will leave on the 21st and come back on the 28th....Seems that the weather might stop that trip though since it takes two vehicles for us all to go if it is icing and all I wont drive :) so DH said that if weather is to bad for me to drive in then we could stay home, but if its just snow I would be okay in driving in that. So many electrical crews are driving around our area trying to make sure everyone gets the electric back and tree trimming comapnies are all over the place tking branches off the power lines... I am use to the devestation from Tornadoes being originally form Texas this whole Ice Storm thing is mind boggling to me.... Have a safe and great day all  Bobbie

Good morning OH family!  I know we all have been going through a lot with this weather I just wish the sun would come out and melt all of it and get warmer out!!!  My dad was without power for 4 days but it finally came back on yesterday evening he was so happy.  I fell Sat. on the ice while taking out my puppy, I stepped off the porch couldn't see any ice but I fell and couldn't get up.  My dog started barking I know he was trying to get me help.  I finally got myself to a grassy area where I could get some traction and stand up.  I fell on my right side so my hip hurt for a few days and I cut my hand.  It never fells I always fall at least once every year.  I haven't been in the Christmas spirit I don't know what is wrong with me we don't even have our tree up yet which is unusal for us.  I am thinking that maybe once we get the tree up that I might feel better so I will work on that this weekend. Happy Birthday Traci I hope you have a good one! Jan, we really miss you I hope your recovery is going well?  Keep up the exercise..... I'm getting excited about my upcoming surgery.  I have 38 days left and 23 before I start my liquid diet.  I'm a little nervous but I'm sure that comes with the teritory?  I just hope and pray that it doesn't snow/ice when I have to make the journey to Sedalia both on Jan. 7th and 20th.  For those of you pro's out there maybe you can share with me what to take to the hospital and also what to have on hand once I get home?  I want to get prepared..... Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stay safe if you have to get out.   Bev~
