Bridge Retreat in a Cabin

Jan 10, 2009

Well this weekend the 8 ladies I play bridge with went on a retreat to a cabin.  One of the eight just built a log cabin in the woods up by Lake Thurmond/aka clarks Hill Lake.  It was so nice her husband went and did steaks for us the first night and was there to protect us (ha ha).  I don't know who in there right mind would want to mess with 8 woman.  We played bridge and had a nice quiet weekend getaway.  Usually in a situation like this I would be interested in the food but this weekend I enjoyed the sites, the fellowship and the peace and quiet.  I'm not saying I didn't eat but I was mindful about what I put in my mouth; meat/protein first.  I didn't deprive myself but I didn't over indulge either.

It was a restful time with no access to phones or tv.  I needed this to just kick back and relax.  I go back to work next week and I am so ready.  I feel better but still having considerable pain in my knee when I am up to long.  I know that given how I felt before the surgery it really is no different.  The only issue I am concerned with is I am having buckling of that knee; I'm just ready for the pain to go away and in going back to work it will help take my mind off of it. 

I also have to go back to my dr on Monday and have more blood work done regarding my liver levels apparently they are still off and she is not sure if it is from the surgery or from the cholesterol meds.  So hopefully I will hear some good news about that at the end of next week.  I have started journeling my food again as I am still losing but has slowed down.  I am sure some of it is from the sedetariness from the last few weeks.  I have also started back to water therapy and plan to up it to 3 times a week. 

I find this forum very helpful as I don't always post on the message board but it helps to get information and read what others are doing or seeing the answers to some of the questions they have and that concern me as well.
