What we are eating and what's eating us,Friday!
Jeannie, I am with you on the food decisions...that is why I am posting the food from the day before. It seems to take the pressure off...which is good for me. Maybe you should try that. I feel like I am still posting it even though it is the day before so I still am very conscious of the food that goes in my mouth.
I did pretty good with the food yesterday...I ate more than I have been so that is a good thing.
Have a great day and don't forget the protein. :-)

Good morning to you, sweet Linda. I am so relieved that today is Friday. That means that tomorrow is my favorite day of the week......and it is finally here. It seems like a long week this week since Bill went back to work for his weeks vacation. It is always hard to get use to him going back to work. He has had a long hard work week so I am glad that he is home for the next 2 days.
Sunday is Father's Day and we are going to church together along with out little grandson...Kayden. He is spending his first Father's Day morning with his Grandpa and so that is something that we are looking forward to. I am too and it isn't Mother's Day this week end but every day is Grandma's Day when we have him. He makes my heart sing with joy and love and happiness. I would have never known that there is a special love just for grandchildren...but I found out 2 months ago yesterday. Yes, he turned 2 months old yesterday...that time went fast.
Doctor's visit went very well...they didn't see any sign of infection so that is great. It is healing up at the top which is wonderful...that means that it is working. Now we have to wait for the skin to grow over the healed part. With the new way it is going to be bandaged the new skin will start to come.
Food yesterday was pretty darn good if I must say so myself. I was impressed with how I did. So I feel that I am on the road to recovery. I feel much more positive after the talk with the doctor and his PA. My visiting nurse can be anal...and she admits that too. I think that is what was bringing me down. I just have to ignore her analness from now on.
Yesterday was:
B: nothing ~ I guess it was a slow start... :-)
L: banana
D: chicken with cheese, broccoli and a bit of mashed potato
S: nothing
I am doing better and today I am planning on having a frozen entree for lunch...let's see if I do it. :-)
Have a wonderful day and know that I am sending love and hugs to you along with all the prayers that I can say for you. You are a special person to many of us and don't forget that. Plant your seeds of happiness and joy so others can enjoy them too.

Dearest Brenda,I am so happy to hear you do not have an infection. That anal nurse may have helped you not have another one...LOL.
Your precious Kayden is God's gift for sure....smile.
You are doing so much better with the food,it will give you the strength and the power to continue to heal.
I am backwards today,as I stayed up all night with Olivia who was not feeling well.
You always make me smile.
Hugs!

My sister and I thought the same thing as you said about the nurse. I am so glad that she is so anal...I think it is because of her I am doing so much better. They debreeded it yesterday at the doctors and it is looking so much better to me. I am going to try to change the packing and bandages tomorrow on my own. Poor Bill and his queasy tummy is funny in a way. He helped me today after my shower to pat it dry inside and he held the mirror for me and just stared at the wall. He couldn't stand to look at it. He is so funny when he does that...he just acts like nothing is going on.
I am doing so much better with food. I didn't do so good today but at least yesterday was good. That is better than it was before. I really stayed out all afternoon today. Now I am tired and so I am going to bed.
See ya in the morning my sweetie.

Linda......Good Morning Sweetheart!!!
I am struggling today. Depression is closing in. I am not a sit at home... sit and watch tv... or whatever kind of gal.
I need to be out and about and around lots of people.
I know I have to take it slow and let my hip heal but it is driving me crazy!!!
I will have my protein and water....I always make sure of that!!
Love you ....hugs....connie d

My sweet Connie,I am so sorry you are going through this! You are right that you must let this heal properly,or it may be hell to pay!
Fight the depression sweet one. I guess there are no old movies you want to re-visit either....sigh.
I know my suggestions are small,but it just does not pay to think too deeply at this time.'
If you need to talk I am here. I know you have loads of friends,do you play cards or anything.
Just be patient sweet one.
I love you,my sweet Boo.

I know, I know, it's Saturday, but I didn't get a chance to pop in from work Friday. So good to see Connie back onboard!
In preparation of one of the docs treating us to pizza for lunch, I only had two protein shakes in the morning. I managed to eat the toppings off two slices of pizza and some of the crust. OK, did pretty good. No afternoon snack - too full. Stopped at the grocery on my way home from work. Got home hungry and grabbed the box of reduced fat Wheat Thins, ate too many. George got home, had dinner. I was too stuffed to eat with him. Later I ate a piece of smoked sausage. It's now 1:20 in the freaking morning and I'm wide awake and hungry - darn. I dare not go downstairs 'cause for sure I'll be shoveling something in.
Hope to see you later today!
Debbie

Hi Miss Deb,I hate to hear you are hungry,you have a right not to be! I think the next time you are hungry,you should reach for a big old sausage,or some other dense protein. Nothing does the trick like protein.
That little starch and eating off schedule set you up,I know you know that.
Just always reach for protein and remember,you have a right never to be hungry!
I hope I hear from you today!
Hugs!
