Topic: Thursday Roll Call
Sorry about yesterday folks. We had to stay over an extra night at the job site. Well, it is amazing how many older folks are doing this job. I felt right at home with them. Unfortunately, my hip did NOT like the job and I was in pain most of the time. My next job is next Monday and it will be a one day event.
I just got a nibble on an Administrative Assistant job somewhere in Durham. It is through a hiring company so I seriously do NOT remember which job it is. So, I will have to wait and see if I get a response from the hiring manager. It has been a long time since I have worked in an office so we shall see.
Today is catch up day. I have tons of recycling to take to the center, wash clothes and do a little cleaning. Then I have to do some more studying.

Topic: appointments
I had my consult with Dr. Yoo yesterday and he told me to get the nut and pysch evauls done first because they are the most important for insurance. They couldn't do my tests and stuff in the same day so now I have to do it in 4 different days! All my appointments are for next week except my nut appt. The soonest they had available was Oct. 11 :-( It was an overwhelming day today getting all the phones calls for the appts and scheduling them with work, luckily work is being super supportive!

Thanks for coming by Miss Bonnie! I made it home around noon and have been camped out in the recliner. Went for a fifteen minute (SLOW) walk a little big ago in between the rain showers. Still sore, but improving. Trying to figure out how to get all this protein/fluids in! Weighed myself just to see...went up a couple of pounds, to be expected I guess with swelling/bloating? Haven't eaten anything much for 3-4 days!

Topic: Wednesday Roll Call
Good morning! Looks really gloomy out my door but I'm about to go for our walk anyways!
Yesterday I ate on target and got my workout in. I'm shooting for another day of that. I'm still trying to lose that last pound from my vacation last week! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Congrats on getting through the first day of your new job! I'm always so nbervous when I start a job. I empathize.
Things are so crazy here at work. We are moving. This move will continue for about three weeks. There are so many details, plans, changes to plans, things and people driving me crazy, so much to do. But I am sooooo thankful that I have an itty bitty pouch instead of a stomach right now. I can't overeat my way through this three weeks of stress. It feels so good to weigh in every so often during this period and find I've lost weight, not gained a ton or three. Thanks goodness for RNY!!!

You should let me know your name so I can stop by and see you at least. I am good about that.
