What's New Tuesday.....

that many carbs would get me too especially if i ate a lot of them....too many carbs bother me more than anything i think....

Millie, the sugar alcohols get to me faster than the sugar does. I sure hope that you get this nasty thing under control really fast...the ups and downs are not good for you or your body.

I was a diabetic too before wls and now I have to watch so close since my sugar goes low now....sometimes lower than others. If you eat 6 small meals a day it will help to even the blood sugars out.

Here is some {{{gentle hugs}}} to help you feel like little Millie again!

I don't dress up for the support meetings. It is jeans and knit top, on occasion I have attended in slippers and jammies. (right after surgeries) Last night I donned a v-neck, cranberry wrap dress, black cami, stockings and heels.

What a reaction from Tom. His eyes popped out of his head and he asked if I had a date. He was rather funny. Then he began to look through my bag. I asked what he wanted from there? He said he was looking to see if I had packed a nightie. Oh my goodness. I told him that IF I had a date, there would be no need for a nightie. Naughty naughty.

Sorry if I offeneded anybody. It gave me a chuckle.

Kisses
Annette

made me chuckle too lol good come back.

Annette, that was a good one. I really enjoyed that.

You and Tom was blessed when you found each other. You are good for one another.

Love and hugs being sent to you...

Good morning one and all,

Millie, I sure hope you wake up feeling better today. Quite a few of my support group folks can't tolerate sugar alcohols at all, so beware!

George, glad the A/C was fixed, this is no time for trouble there.

Mary, welcome to the loser's bench. I promise it gets better every day from here on out, and we've all had those "what have I done?" thoughts.

Margo, glad you're able to bank those sick days just in case, and that your boss is flexible enough to let you make up last Thursday. But then, I guess he's got bigger things to think about right now, huh?  Very, very sad for he and his family.

Annette, that man of yours! What a hoot he is!!!

Today I have an appointment with my surgeon about Henrietta Hernia. We'll see what he has to say about it. No doubt that he's going to want to take her out, but I think it's still at an "elective" level right now, so I'll elect to wait a bit. But, rest assured, it won't be too long. Sure don't want any more emergency situations!
I'm actually more concerned about my elbow. It hurts all the time, so I guess another specialist appointment is in my near future. Don't know what I'm waiting for. Six weeks of this and it hasn't gotten better, so enough is enough.

Well, gotta get going for a long work day. Doctor's appointments in the middle of the day make it difficult to book clients around it. No telling how long I'll be at the office, so I have to go in early and stay late. AGH!

Hugs and smiles. Love to all

The kids and their mamma, my daughter, left yesterday evening.  So today, after I get home from school, I will spend cleaning up and putting toys back in the guest room and just doing those things that I don't do when the kids are here.   I am mentally packing for my trip.  Do you guys do that?  What I do is think about what I am going to be doing, what I need to wear, and how much do I really need to pack; then I pack it all.  I always over pack.  I am, though, only taking three pairs of shoes.  Yeah!  That was a hard decision.

So, my day:  go to school, teach the kiddies, hold the office hours, come home, clean the house, and finally go for a bike ride, if my hands are up to it and if not, there will be a long walk.  I am going to start doing it first thing.  Just not today.

Have a good day.

Good morning Millie and everyone.......

Nice yo see you starting the thread this morning Millie!!!

Margo....I am so sorry to hear about Alexa...I just posted on her site a little while ago. Bless her heart!!! My thoughts and prayers continue for Alexa and her family.


My computer CRASHED on Friday...just got it up and running last night. I feel so lost....so much to catch up on now!

Nic, Gracie and Jamie came here yesterday. Nic looks wonderful!! He is picking on me so I know he is okay!! He made a slow moving vechicle sign and taped it to my back as I walk with my walker...what a hoot!!!

Nic and Jamie leave for Montana in the morning. Gracie and I will have fun, My sweet little Amanda will be here tonight. Between her, Dwayne, my best friend Pam and myself Gracie will be well taken care of!!! That will be a long ten days for Jamie as she has never been away from Grace like this....she is worrying already. However, she knows Gracie will be safe here with me.

Carrie, Amanda and Lucas will be arriving later today. We will all have dinner together and then Carrie and Lucas will go back home to St. Paul.It will be wonderful to share some time with them too!!!

I best get in the shower and start my day.

Prayers to those in need.

Much love and hugs to all....connie d

Morning everyone.  
I have nothing new here.  Trying to get ready for the trip to Ks and obstacles keep popping up!
Prayers going up for all who need it,  
 have a great day everyone.

I was up at 1:30 chatting with my cuz on Instant Messanger.....couldn't get to sleep = my R foot hurt like H___, and even my R knee was aching.   I honestly didn't do that much yesterday.   Had company a lot, but sat in my chair the whole time.   Floyd and Brenda stopped by around 6 and stayed for an hour - it was so good to see my OFF friends and I heard all about the wonderful weekend in Traverse City.

So I am very sleep deprived this morning, at most I may have gotten 3 hrs. in short spurts......this will be my worst day so far and it's almost a week since the surgery.   I may have to break down and get something for pain......will take a couple extra strength tylenol and see how that goes.....I won't be getting back on the bed that's for sure - I am far more comfortable in my recliner with a pillow under my butt!!

Sorry to be a downer today....

Oh, I called and cancelled the brace for my foot - it would only be helpful in walking, and I can walk pretty good w/o it - being very careful to pick up my foot.  The surgeon was evidently ok with it, as
he never called back to say it was a necessity.

Judy G. - I haven't made the rhubarb bread yet -- haven't found the strength to do it.......the recipe will have to be tweeked to make it WLS friendly, so after I make it, I will re-do the recipe and get it to you.

Margo, I am praying for God's will for your bosses daughter.

Have a nice day everyone....I'm gonna try for a nap in my chair!

Pat R.

PS - my neighbor guy was gonna take me to get groceries - but he called this morning and after we talked he said  "you just stay put - I'll get whatever you need and bring it to you".   He's a keeper!
