Hello's bells, Monica..I'm forever tripping over my own words...I think my mind is working too fast for my tongue!
Yes, hurtful words but, perhaps, it's her fear for you and that didn't translate well...but YOU know and You have every reason to feel proud of you! And one day, your daughter will dare to believe again...this is HER issue,dear Monica, not yours!
*hugs you bunches*

Good morning everyone. Well today I plan to plant some gladiolas in the garden. My back is feeling mucho better. It is overcast this morning but pleasant outside so I plan to do some picking up around the yard and stuff. Went to town with dh and ds yesterday afternoon and the van acted up and wouldn't start. We got it jumped and then it died again. Had to end up calling for a tow and getting a friend to take us home. I guess that was my big adventure for the week, lol. Spoke with my sister this morning and had to listen to her tell me that I am too skinny. Can you believe that? OK, I weigh between 120-123 or 124 as my weight fluctuates due to fluid problems. I am 57 (will be 58 next week) and am 5 ft, 1 1/2 inches. I don't think that is too small. I feel better than I have in a long time now that the fibromyalgia pain is better managed and I'm away from all the stress from working. She does have a point that I need to eat more real food. I take a lot of protein powder and protein bars and not much else except for soup most of the time. Food just doesn't interest me much anymore. I do take all of my vitamins and supplements religiously. I am not going to let her get to me. I'm down to a size 2. I've never been that size as an adult and to tell you the truth, I am enjoying that. I know I don't need to lose any more weight but I am not anorexic like she thinks. I think it's just sour grapes, I don't' know. I am going to try to start eating more real food. I don't want to lose any more weight but I am happy were I am.
Good morning or almost afternoon Nancy B. and OFF family,
Work is busy today and I'm so glad it's payday Friday...now that puts a smile on my face.
It's cold and rainy here and I hope it doesn't turn into ice. Let the rain melt the snirt!! LOL
I ran into my bariatric surgeon in the hallway and he asked how I was doing. I didn't lie my friends, I told him I'm having pain and it hurts to exercise. He admitted I had a lot of adhesion's when he did surgery. I guess it will just take time but now I'm pretty sure those adhesion's are forming once again inside my body. Only people that have adhesion's know what I'm talking about. I have to keep my spirits uplifted and not let this get me down. Sometimes I can't work through the pain, sometimes it goes away. Okay I'm weird! I just have to keep an eye on my health because I don't want the adhesion's to strangle my bowel again. In this case I have to "Let Go and Let God"...getting worried about surgery in the future won't do me any good at all.
So I'm excited about the snirt melting, I'm having hubby work on my bike so as soon as it's possible, I'm riding my bike instead of going to spin class. Now that is something to look forward to. Hugs Debbie

Hi Nancy and all my OFF friends,
I am so proud of you all. Volunteering, adjusting to your moves, staying sober, being productive, grappling with pain. Please know you are all thought of daily even though I may not post.
My white blood cell count was still low but I had chemo anyway yesterday. Today and on Monday and Tuesday I am having Neupogen shots that stimulate the bone marrow to produce white blood cells.
I've finished all the grandbaby's afghans and am now working on the prayer shawl for the cancer center. I gave my sis-in-law the purple afghan with the pineapple border. She is a red hat and I thought she would like it. I have one more afghan to make for a nephew and then I am done crocheting for the winter season. It will be time to think about vacation and then getting outside prepared for the growing and picnicing season. I say this looking out the window at a foot of snow still on the ground, it's 38*. But the sun is shining.
Prayers and thoughts.
Hugs,
Bev

Greetings Nancy and OFF family,
Wow, Nancy, you had a busy day yesterday. I love going to tea houses and talking girl talk. Something so feminine about that experience.
I am posting late today, because my whole day is discombobulated. I overslept, so I missed my morning AA meeting. Then, I tried to finish crocheting a cap for my grandson, because I would like for him to be able to use it before the weather changes in Michigan. Then, I scooted over to my church to drop off a meal for a young lady who works in the daycare center there, as she is caring for her older parents, who are disabled. After that, I came home and finally jumped in the shower. I felt super cruddy.
Now, I am going to try to finish that cap and get it in the mail this weekend. I also need to get to my AA meeting. I am also going over to my nephew's new apartment to give him a housewarming gift. It is a bunch of Philadelphia Phillies stuff, as he is a sports buff. He is 28, but is special needs. I hope he likes it. It's a sign, and a coffee mug and beer glass. He does not drink, but he likes to believe he is just like the rest of the guys, and I thought he would enjoy having one with the Phillies logo on it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will check in tomorrow.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good afternoon to all you wonderful people. I am so tired. 3 surgeries in 3 months is draining. I've decided I need to pamper myself. I'm taking 7 to10 days off and just enjoy the scenery a bit. I'll pretend my protein drinks are some wonderful, fruity drinks. I'm going to lie in the sun (w/ sun block) and soak in it's warmth. Will have more energy when I get back! Thanks for being here, Mag
Hi Nancy and my OFF family:
I am on here late today. It was payday and so I had running around to do ... had to go out to get blood drawn for potassium check ... hope it goes up this time ... and pay my lawyer more money, then to Walmart for groceries. Geez, I went shopping to the other store (Brookshire's, for what they had on sale, which wasn't much) yesterday, spent $40 there, today spent $119 at Walmart (well, I got a lot of stuff, some cleaning supplies, a big plastic closet drawer thing and 85 dishwashing tablets ... so I'm well set on those). Walmart was crowded ... couldn't find a handicapped spot, so I walked a bit, then walked a lot in the store, so I got my exercise today and now I'm beat. Came home, had lunch, got laundry going, dishes. Busy day! And a rainy day, too.
Nancy, you wear me out just reading your posts ... can you export some of that energy? Just the shopping trip to Walmart did me in.
My knee hurts now.
Finishing one book Wednesday "A Bloody Field at Shrewsbury" about King Henry IV and his son, Henry V (or Prince Hal at the time) and the Welsh rebellion ... the Welsh were always rebelling. Started a new book, "Queen of Last Hopes," about Margaret of Anjou, who was married to Henry VI, a very mild king who led to the war of the roses. I don't know why I'm so interested in English history but I am.
Ah well, I'm off for the rest of the day, so I think I'll watch a movie tonight. I still have groceries to bring in from the car ... my big closet chest and other big items that are nonperishables.
Have a good day.
