What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Wow your nephews team must be incredible. That is amazing..

Good morning QJB and menuers,

Hope things progress well for your nephew, and congrats on a productive day.

QOTD- Depends on how I feel. This weekend I wandered to reacquaint myself with items on offer. There are new things to discover! If it's a food store I breeze through and ignore the parts of aisles that include drinks, cookies, crackers, most breakfast cereals, candy, and chips. Don't want to acknowledge or be tempted by stuff I don't need.

Feeling fuzzy this morning with a headache, sore joints and a sore throat after an office day yesterday. Going to see about a bit of a restorative nap before truly kicking off the day. Exercise last night included a bit of a scratchy throat, so I wondered if it would progress. Today is a rest day.

Accountability- Nothing to report

Menu

Breakfast- Protein/collagen/fiber

Lunch - A serving of stew with mushrooms, carrots, and some onion

Dinner - Kale and turkey slice

Snack - Yogurt and seaweed

Cheers!

I hope you feel better, rest up.

Thank you! Hopefully better enough for exercise in the morning!

I am fighting the urge to isolate so here I am. Good morning, glad to hear the surgery went ok JB, will keep him and your family in my thoughts! Also I echo what you said about the hurricane...scary stuff!

So more about my appointment yesterday. It was a total waste of time...my time, their time...everyone's time. They were not willing to do anything. The part that doesn't make sense to me is he(an NP) said my back was basically fused then went on to say he could see that it moves. Was told that the percentage of relief I would receive wasn't enough to warrant surgery. He said "I've seen worse" after we told him what my neurosurgeon said about it. Well that's fine and dandy but for me this is bad enough. I know people have it worse. He was very dismissive of me and my pain levels. Suggested CBD(because his dad has arthritis in his hands and it helps him) and/or a pain pump. I am not upset about no fusion I'm just mad that I can't be fixed...I've had so many people say this or that. Been called their "special patient". I just lost it after he left the room. Cried most of the way home...alll almost two hours of it. I told my mom I felt like God hates me. Blah blah blah. I'm sick and tired of people saying that a percentage of whatever isn't enough. It's better than nothing.

As soon as I got home I contacted the pain clinic about getting a pain pump. It's really my only option. I don't know if I qualify for one as there is some psychological qualifications. We'll see, they should call me sometime today.

Today we have to get the oil changed...I think that's the extent of the plans.

QOTD: I prefer to get what I need and go. The only exception is certain stores like craft or bead stores. Thankfully I don't go to those much...esp a bead store since we have none.

B: Oatmeal and coffee...unfortunately Reese's pieces

L: PP shake and a GF waffle

D: No idea at this point

S: small salad, slice of cheese w/GF crackers nad ???

I'm sorry yesterday didn't go well. Please keep advocating for yourself-you're worth it.

Thank you!

I am so sorry you feel this way. God hates No one. He just test us. If you want 1Peter 4:12-19 may put it in perspective for you. Your always in my prayers.

Thank you! it was fortunately a fleeting thought. Thank for the suggestion!

I am sorry the appointment didnt go well. Hopefully the pain pump will be approved and will be helpful.

BTW, the earring arrived and look great. Thank you.
