Good Morning all.
What a difference a day makes.....yesterday started out lousy but today is much better.
I got up extra early, did my bike ride WAHOOOO, came home jumped in the shower and came out to find Matthew in the kitchen fixing a "big breakfast". What a treat.....not the food, just the fact that he did it. I'll take that any day.
The consult I had with the local plastic surgeon went really, really well. I think I've found the guy to do my lower body work. Only thing I need to deal with now is the decision if I want him to do my arm revision or the original surgeon. My gut has always told me the original one will still be overly conservative and only shave off a little more skin so why go back a 2nd time...perhaps I should just have this other guy do it since I believe he will do a better job. Yes it will cost me more money but I've already wasted $5k, 4 months of recovery time and lets not forget the pain during the first couple of weeks. Decisions, decisions, decisions.....
Today and tomorrow I'll be doing marathon cooking so there are plenty of frozen meals ready for when I do have surgery. In between the cooking I'll work on a couple boxes that are waiting in the dinning room.
We are meeting with the Realtor tonight to look at the beach house and get her professional opinion as to which house house has better market value....we really can't decide on which one we like better. We are pathetic with this...lol.
A good friend called, her mom just passed away........I feel bad I'm not there to help her out but am being supportive long distance. Her mom has not been well for the last 3 years and was in the hospital the last 2 weeks but it's still a shock and hurts when it happens.
Carla - if I decide not to have the arm revision with the original surgeon next week maybe we can get together..... let me know if you are up for it.
Hope everyone is having a good day and feeling well.

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
A much better night at work last night ... got done with my pages at 11 p.m. I think I figured out a way to do my work ... I have to do the editing in the word program and then pull the stories on the page for the paginating. A different approach. I talked to April, who does the editorial pages, and was trained two weeks ahead of me, so she has been working on the program longer. She gave me a few hints, too. I had one little slip-up, though, when all my elements turned back to the body type and I had to put all my headlines back. I just hope I didn't do that to the stocks too (they're all in tiny type). I forgot to check them. They're easy to redo ... you just have to delete and pull back on the page. But I didn't think to do that. It's complicated to explain. Oh well, live and learn.
It feels like rain ... it's kinda sunny but overcast, but my body feels like it's going to rain. My back hurts all the way down the right side (Pat, I really understand the sciatic nerve problems today ... well, I always did). I always wonder if that's some of the problems with my right (replacement) knee, because it hurts down my butt into my hip and down my leg. Lot of pain today.
Not a whole lot else going on. Since the White Sox blew the game last night, I didn'****ch what I had recorded. Instead, I watched the pilot of this show on the SciFi channel (now called SyFy) called Warehouse 13 ... really good show. I had recorded a few weeks ago and hadn't gotten back to it until now. It looked interesting ... I think the series is going to be intriguing. It's about these two Secret Service agents who get roped into retrieving artifcats of the paranormal. Kind of unusual.
I've got a bunch of good gastric bypass friendly zucchini recipes, Brenda, I'll post them again. Plus, it's blueberry season, and I need to do something with all those blueberries I bought (I have recipes for those too).
Have a good day ... the landscapers woke me this morning mowing the grass and now they're out with the weed whackers.

Greetings. Finally going close to 90 degrees today, it has felt like fall the last few days, if it doesn't warm up I will have to bring my Meyer lemon in the house. My boss is in Florida this week for a conference and I have been working non-stop to try and get caught up, I knew I was behind but had no idea how far. I NEVER got behind with my old boss. The director came in and closed the door and asked me what we were going to do about her( new nurse) I had no idea that every one was so unhappy with her, the director said she couldn't risk losing ME!! then she gave me a nice raise. Can you believe that?? I must be doing something right.
JANI ..Just had to comment on some posts you made yesterday, about the doggy door. there was a story on the news yesterday ,this old guy walks in his kitchen and there is the head and arms of a guy trying to break in his house through his doggy door. He said he had lived there since 1952 and this is the first time someone had tried to break in. Also, on the purse on the seat. I pulled into a parking lot of al arge store and in the truck next to me in the front seat in a baby seat was a newborn baby..left alone. I went in and got security, they came out and look and just kind of shrugged. I stood there telling them to call the police when the mom came out with a cart full, she had been shoppping a while. As I am telling them to call the police she just unloaded, got in the truck and drove off..man was I mad. I didnt have a cell phone then.

Aloha and good morning OFF family,
I am hurrying a bit this morning. I will have to wait to read all of your posts until tonight. Today I'm working at the IMUA office all day, and will be every Wed. for the next few months. This will be in addition to testing "my babies" at the hospital Tues. and whenever they need a fill in. I'm very happy for the work as it's helping with the expenses.
When I was asking about what you all pay for things, I forgot to ask about property tax. This is one place where if you own your own home, the property tax is AMAZINGLY LOW!! This year I'm paying $150.00 TOTAL! My little Oregon condo (rental) costs $2400 a year!! So, I am counting my blessings on the property tax thing.
There are so many times lately that I mention my OFF sisters/brothers. In a conversation something will come up regarding health, vitamins, various parts of the country, etc. I have said a hundred times "In my OFF family........." Amazing how we become entwined in each other's lives isn't it.
Time to get this body out the door and off to work. Hope you all have a great day.
Aloha nui loa,
M aui Karen

Good afternoon Carla and everyone.......
This is my first chance to get on this board today. My job has been keeping me so busy these last few day.....I am pooped out!! Only 3 hours to work tomorrow and I am done until Monday...YAY!!!
Not much happening here otherwise. I am feeling down....some because I feel lonely with out the grands here. Also, because I am so fed up with not being able to exercise. I aways walked 3 miles in the morning Monday thru Friday. Now I am lucky to walk to my garage. I know it has only been 6 weeks since my fall but I am not a patient person and this is upsetting me, I can see the loss of muscle tone in my legs and such.....I don't like it one bit!! I am usually pretty muscular. I feel so frumpy!!!
Enough complaining from me. There are a lot of worse things happening in this world!!!! Nic for one!!
Brenda....get to that desease specialist PLEASE!!!!! We are all concerned because we care so much about you.
Hopefully I can get on here earlier tomorrow. Have a good rest of the day everyone!
Prayers to those in need.
Love and hugs to all.....connie d

evening carla and OFF...i posted seperate post on what happened to me today meeting my new pcp...i love her already!!!
weather here is still looking like rain...maybe a storm soon but might go other way like last night...its 71 right now and sticky feeling but tolerable.
so thats about it for me... ;-)
Hello gang!
I found out today I am confirmed moderate sleep apnea. So that one is crossed off. I have to of course go back to that awful sleep clinic and have a sleep over to fit the CPAP but at least it's moving in the right direction.
Maybe now I will be able to workout like I used to.
I am so upset at my numbers - I have never been this heavy, I track my eating and see little if any results. I know this is why I am having WLS - but this is so difficult.
I am working very hard on my sugar addiction. It has been almost 1 week without a cookie. Since July 15. Small steps.
I was hoping my husband Michael would have heard from the job overseas soon. He is not in the process for security clearance.
The boys drove around the block today. Small steps.
The parts came for the hot tub!!!
Work is crazy busy - but my computer seems to be on strike. It has been crashing for 2 days now. I think it is not feeling well either - may it is missing 'cookies' too :D
Tomorrow is Friday Eve (should be a holiday). Almost there folks.
Tomorrow I plan to write how far I walked.
Stay tuned.
