I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

yeah i know i am in the snow belt here we are in lake county and the heavy stuff i am told usually goes to mentor and east to ashtabula....soooo like i said i will believe this lake effect snow stuff when i see it...LOL we got about an inch last night...yippeee....
i sucks being alone when someone that you love is going through so much and you are alone!!!! when gary had his first surgery back in '96 i sat there not knowng anything til the dr came out and told me he was getting into some dangerous territory and gary could have a stroke if he wasn't careful...geee thanks for that info dr!!!! so i sat there going belistic not knowing what would happen to him...soooo many blood vessels attached to this tumor!!!! so after that news it was a couple hours longer and dr stopped and cancelled the main surgery til the following week....just great having to go through it all again!!!! but i managed...so like i said i hope his "family" is going through some of what i had to "all alone!!" sorry for being so negative but it is how i feel towards them...i just hope he is ok and doesn't end up a vegetable ya know....
as for thanksgiving...its over and done with...wasn't the perfect holiday but there is always next year...its not to much of each other...we love being together...its the cooking that set this fight off...when he saw what i was going to make my dressing with he flipped out and had to call his mother to call me and explain how he felt about it...that is what made the fight last all day!! him calling his mommy....if he would have left it alone it would have blown over but NO he had to call her!!!!! ****** me right off when he does that!!!! oh well like i said...its all over and done with now.
yeah not much to choose from at the party the other night...i sure didn't eat much thats for sure...
i feel better today...got my face washed and put some lipstick on....;)
thanks for being here margo!!!! sorry that you and michael are having problems...you know i am always here for you if you ever want to talk....
hugs
Thought of calling you over the weekend but figured you were busy with Lizzie and everything. Miss ya and am worried about your health problems. Hope they get things figured out.
It snowed a lot here last night, but actually we only got maybe 2-3 inches. Just seemed like more. I wanted to get the outdoor decorations out yesterday but don't think I'll get them out until tomorrow maybe. I was going to get my hair done today but am short of funds ... plus I woke up with a headache today. The weather does that to me. It's kind of going away now after I took my drugs. I rescheduled the hair appointment for Thursday (payday, a good one because it will be triple time). Have to get this hair done before my knee surgery because it's getting long, plus the color hasn't been done since March, and it's gone back to the mousy brown ... I miss being a blonde again (which actually is my natural color ... it's just that blondes go dark as they age ... really!)
Got a lot of indoor decorating done yesterday ... just a few more boxes to go, and only needed two vicodin! Really thought I'd be in more pain than that. I took it slow. Talked to friends (Paulette, Margie) and read, watched football ... made some turkey rollups. Need to make some protein balls. I was telling Margie about the protein balls ... her neighbor had stomach cancer and basically had the same type of surgery as I had because of it. He can't eat much either and is losing too much weight, so I have given her tips ... told her about the protein balls. I told her to make them and not tell her neighbor what's in them; just say them chocolate peanut butter balls. I mean, if you don't know what's in them, you wouldn't think they were good for you!
Well, I need coffee ... it's cold here in the computer room since I have to close it off because of Diva. She is still having diarrhea but is going in the litter box at least. So that's a plus. I've been feeding her rice, but haven't noticed any change.
Have a good day.
We had a fun Thanksgiving and as I say every year, I say next year I am not cooking. Too darn much work and expense. But I always forget by the next time Thanksgiving rolls around. Faith, my 15 year old granddaughter spent the night Wednesday and she was so much help getting things done, at one point she says" Grandma, I can't wait until I can make the Thanksgiving dinner" Yippee a sucessor is in the wings. She loves to cook with me and eat healthy things. I suppose it is teen rebellion, she has been raised on fast food.So cooking and eatting well is totally againest her parents. My son is surrounded by diabetics on both sides, I wish he would straighten up. Liz and I shopped all day Friday but it was a very relaxing shopping, we didnt leave until noon, spent a good 2 hours in Bass pro just playing. I spent very little too. Almost done with my shopping and wrapping. I have Friday off so I will probably decorate then.
The day just started off off kilter. I woke up late( just can't seem to sleep) Had a lab appointment, the nurse says you haven't seen doctor in over a year he isn't busy so she puts me in the room where I sat and sat and sat. Finally a resident came in( guy reminded me of Eyore) I could hear the doc out side the room discussing Israel political stuff. ( GEt In HERE I'M LATE FOR WORK)Finally he strolls in and does nothing. Sigh, too late to run down to the hospital coffee shop( I think theirs is better than Starbucks, Scooters anybodys, so it is a real treat to go there.. Ah to
heck with it I'm gonna get my coffee so I troop down there and they are closed @#$%^&. While in the exam room I hopped on their scale. It was bad very very bad. Thats all I can say.
I am hoping my Dell will be here on Friday. So far, as of Saturday night there are no messages that it has been sent or no charge on my card. Yesterday in the newpaper was a sale add from Dell with MY puter almost $100 cheaper, choice of color and more RAM.. So I am going to call them after work and see if I can change my order.. I have bent your cyber ears enough, have a great day !! Blessings

At work this morning my phone rang (usually never get any calls), I answered and this nice male voice said,
this is Dr. Paul Kemmeter......after I picked myself up off the floor....ha ha, we had a wonderful 15 minute conversation. I was so glad he called (as a result of the endoscopy I had a couple wks ago) and told him so, and he said I'm glad I called too. We talked about my not losing any weight for the last 5 months and he pretty much feels my body is done losing.....bummer, I want to lose 40 more lbs. I've lost 56% of my excess weight and he considers that a success. He suggested changing up my exercise routine which I have already started. I can't tell you how he made my day, and I am
so excited to have had the chance to talk with him.
I was shaking like a leaf when I hung up......how's that for a reaction to your surgeon!
I started back to the exercise center this afternoon and did 7 laps on the walking track WITHOUT STOPPING EVEN ONCE.... that's a whole mile the first time out and I wasn't even out of breath. Just keep it going now and see if it helps get the wt coming off.
Dr. K. says belly and hip fat is the hardest to get off.
He also told me to stop getting on the scales......it will only make me discouraged.
So I am on a "high" and hope I can stay on it.
It's snowing here and windy, so we're in for a blustery evening.
Marc, the prayers must be working.....still keeping my fingers crossed for you. I had two nephews in the SeaBees and my late husband was in the army in WW2.
Sending prayers and hugs to all,

Done! Your Ticker:
and only weigh myself once a week.
One of my inspirations is Jenn on the Michigan board...she was almost 3 yrs out and still losing, so never say never, cause she did it!! Dr. K. was her Doc. too.
You know, I've never even seen Dr. Foote when I was at the office.....have you been on their new website....it's neat! Grandhealthpartners.com
