It's Hump Day so let's chat...what is up with you today?
Good Morning Brenda and friends,
I've been up since 3am. We're getting ready to head to Erin's (babies!) and then Ocean Shores, WA for 3 days at the beach. It's heating up over here on the east side again so I can't wait. And when I'm excited I sleep even less than normal which isn't nearly enough.
Had my physical with my PCP yesterday. All was well except they FORGOT to do the B12 and D blood tests! I specifically asked to have those included. Stupid me for not double checking. So I have to have those done, probably when we get back from the beach as I doubt if I'll have time this morning.
My bone density is still "good" according to doctor, but compared to one 4 years ago it is down 3%. I plan to do a spread sheet using my labwork from the past 4 years. Just have to find the time to get it done and then I'll have something to compare to. Doctor said my potassium, calcium, protein, all looked good. Don't want to post numbers right now as I don't have a lot of time.
Got a prescription for massage therapy which my insurance will cover about 20 visits a year. Mind you this is the deep tissue stuff, not much "feel good" and Nancy certainly "no happy endings" but hopefully it will loosen up my stiff arthritic neck enough that I can turn my head when changing lanes.
She said to use Tylenol sparingly for arthritic pain and doesn't want me taking anything else unless it gets a lot worse. Most of my joints ache especially during the night.
Talked to her about how I've been a bit off track the past year and am now recommitted to exercise and doing what needs to be done. We talked about how far I've come and how I do NOT want to go back where I was. All in a good visit.
I'm liking getting my calcium in with my protein shakes. I take one in the morning and one after dinner as my evening snack. Seems to be working out well.
Well, it's almost daylight and we still have a lot to do before we're ready to go. I want to go to the gym and then weigh in at TOPS before we leave around 9am. But first I think I'll go soak in the hot tub. . .
I'll check in from Erin's til Friday and then I'll be AWOL until we get home from the beach on Tuesday. As they say in Texas "all y'all" behave yourselves while I'm gone~

morning brenda and OFF family!!!
well last night we had a nice surprise visit!!! ricks daughter and grandson came over!!!! OMG anthony is getting soooo big!!! and he is talking already!!! he can say puppy, pease and tankyou, poppa and more. thats about all we could get out of him...and he says those words so plain too!!! he then decided to get into poppas nascar cars...omg!!! he knocked a couple of them over and he thought it was sooo funny...but poppa sure didn't...lol then he went after the wires he saw on the floor behind my chair and wanted to pick them up...they go to the home theater system...i told him no-no and he still wanted them...i said NO-NO and then bandit started barking at him like he was telling him no-no!!! anthony thought that was funny....he is walking so good too and omg he is so cute!!!! they had to leave way to soon but they promised to stop over again when they had more time.
brenda...i would call a lawyer about your fall and tell him/her about them not having a railing for the stairs!!! i think you could get that taken care of plus maybe some compensation to boot!!! i feel for you having to move but then maybe you could find a nicer place after all this fiasco!!! maybe THEY will have to pay you to move...or the new place will help you move?? i know there are some places that do that for you when you move to their place. rick and i looked at the new rental book and there isn't anyplace cheaper that is in a nice area like we are now. and if we moved to a lower apartment it would cost us more a month...can't afford that either...oh well climbing stairs will have to do...it hurts my hip and knee but i can do it but not alot.
weather here is still on the muggy side and more storms predicted again...missed us yesterday but it sure was muggy!!! i dread seeing the electric bill next month!!!
speaking of weather...i hope everyone in texas is ok....tornado hit beaumont without warning yesterday...and also the hurricane bill thats coming...hope all are taking heed to this storm and getting ready to batton down and leave if necessary!!
margo glad that you finally got your hair cut!!! and hopefully they will take your glasses back and fix that scratch in them!!! wonder if they even checked them before they gave them to you to make sure they were ok?
saturday we pick up our food from angelfoodministries. can't wait to get some different food in here...getting tired of steak all the time!! price was right and we stocked up on steak but wow seems like that is all we have to eat anymore...this bundle we will have pork chops, fish sticks, chicken, burgers, chicken nuggets and mac and beef dish. plus some rice and veggies too. i am so happy that we went to angelfoodministries for our food!! we sure do save money there!!!
well not much else to say so will get my butt off here and get some laundry done before someone else gets the machines!!!!
welcome to the newbies and congrats to those that have a date!!!!
have a great day an know i am thinking of you all!!! SMILE!!!! :-)
Hi
Had a horrible night sleeping wise. Had nightmares not good. I even scared the puppy
we are watching. I belive they were brought on by medication. I was upset last night &
took a pain pill to calm down & I think that triggered them. I thought we were done with the Tire thing, but, after 2 weeks the 3rd tire now will not hold air & had to put the
spare back on the car. It was holding air & I though we were going to be O.K, but, looks like we will have to replace that one, too!! Darn it. Back to being mad about all\
of that again.
Have to go to Dr. today, she called & wants to see me regards to the results of Pap
Smear. Not a good sounding thing, so will see what is up with that. Just what I need
is more stress, Right!!
Take care & have a good day & will check back in later & let ya all no what happens
at the Dr.
Jeannie, I sure understand about not wanting car payments. I have an old clunker, except it doesn't qualify as a clunker bc it is an older Honda accord. I need to get a tune-up. Hondas last forever, and I plan to drive it until it dies.
Today I went to the dentist. I had two dental implants before WLS surgery but the dentist told me to wait for the bridge until after surgery. I am so sick of the partial denture I have been wearing!
I have to do some work today - am having a not great day because my stomach seems a bit upset.
Otherwise all is well.
Glad to read that everyone is doing okay today.
I got up bright and early and went to the gym. I did one hour of water aerobics and about 30 minutes of working out. I feel sooooo much better. My energy level has improved already!
Nic starts his testing and treatments at St. Jude's in Memphis today. I will let you know when I hear any news.
My work load has been full the last couple days. I have more meetings yet today. I have almost all my work hours in for the week already...wooohoooo!!!
I am going to take a break and head over to the tanning salon right now while I have a lull.
Hope you all have a really nice day. Prayers to those in need. Give someone a hug today. It might be the only one they get.
Love and hugs to all.......connie d
