Happy Day All!
HAPPY DANCING FOR MAR! 3.6#'s down. WOW! That's amazing!
Sue - I know exactly what you're going through - a little bit better every day, but then others forget you are not "there" yet - wherever "there" is. I know with my shoulder I'd think I was wonderful, then it would remind me by saying, "don't DO that," or, "that's enough already"!
Connie - your flowers sound wonderful. You sound so happy with them.
Phyl - sorry about the med increase. What medicine is it, if I may ask? Hang in there, girlfriend.
I didn't think I'd make it this morning, but have been awake since 5:15! Of course, I was asleep last night about 9:30! Worked in the yard yesterday and got too hot, then DS came for supper so it was a busy day. A good one, though. Today is PT and maybe an errand or two while I'm in that town. It's not a city, as we think of one, but is a good bit bigger than where I live - about 20 miles away.
Must go get ready. Make your day a good one, everyone. Cheers....

Good morning Penny & ATF,
Cloudy again today. We had rain thru the night, everything is wet or damp. Currently it's 68; the high for today will be 84 with 91% humidity....yuk!
Going food shopping for a few items this morning and then bingo tonight. I'd like to win again but will not be greedy, just have fun.
Congrats to Mar for the great weight loss!
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone
Thanks for the congrats on weight loss. Never lost that much in one week. I feel really good. Throat and roof of mouth all healed up. No symptoms of Acid reflux or IBS. Loving not drinking coffee.
Very busy yesterday. Got everything done. Dd#2 came over for dinner.
Today the road trip starts. I will still check in here every day. Lots of car time. Our daughter will be staying at our house most of the time. Just last minute stuff like makeup to get in suitcase.

Did some laundry yesterday and dryer died. Have a few lines so hung stuff out to dry. Did some more laundry this morning and used lines and clothes racks. Such fun. Both washer and dryer are 11 years old. So - we will go shopping for both tomorrow.
Everyone have a Pleasant day.

Congrats Mar! Have a good trip.
the suitcase logged in at Cincinnati last night sometime between 9 and 12. It must be on another plane as nothing has changed in 7 hours. Hope it is here this morning as I would like to go with DH to his Dr. i rescheduled my routine 8 week follow up on knee gel shots...woke at a bit after midnight with colitis and bit of fever and could not get back to sleep. Pretty sure I will not be going anywhere for 1:00 today! Never had this much trouble after a trip.
think I will get photos uploaded to Costco to print.

Morning All!
Congratulations on your loss this week Marilyn! Have a fun and stressfree trip!
Peggy Sue sorry to hear about your washer and drier. I feel your pain. I'm on borrowed time on mine and I am waiting for the shoe to drop. Both of mine are 12 years old and have had plenty of use. Let us know what kind you get and what you think of it.
Not much going on here.
Everyone have a great day!
Dayle

anybody who has been on this drug please don't tell me anything. I am listening and doing what my doctor tells me.everybody is different and meds work different in different people and doctors have their reasons.
don is at jeana's helping with her siding. this afternoon is our chiro's appointments.
I need to stop in penny's and have a new link put in my watch.

Good morning. Phyl, you have such a great attitude. I admire you so much. I was a basket case when they told me I had to come back for a repeat mammogram . I have always expected the worse.
Guy came and checked my chair this morning, quick fix. Landlord was here too to pick up the rent check. Did a little picking up and 2 loads of laundry.
Mar, congrats on the big loss. Super!!!!!
Cloudy and cooler this morning. Guess I'll get out and get some flowers planted. DH has an appt later.

I agree, Betty, Phyl is amazing. Hang in there, sweetie. Lots of people supporting and praying for you.
90's here today but it's June in Florida.
I went to Publix, dental appointment and TJ's and was home by 11:15. I was amazed when I looked at the time, thought it was much later.
TJ's has fresh English peas, bought some. They are so good. Way back in my memory is a pasta and pea dish. Need to do some research.
Emily, hope you win some money today, and Mar, bon car trip.

hi, I should have added this med is used for thrombocytosis. think that is the possiblitly I am being treated for. boy I am learning to spell big words.
I AM also learning their are alot of people out their who are kind some kind of problems with platelets.
had it not been for the hip surgery schuelded and they look at platelets I probably would have never known. they will probably add this to checked when I have my a1c in october. course that will depend on how often I have to give blood.
betty I won't say I will never be a basket case. depends on the 14th.phyl

Geri, don't laugh but first thing I think of is tuna noodle casserole with fresh peas. I used to make it all the time and shared it with ex DSIL but since he is "gone", no one else in the family likes it. I tend eat it for a couple of days and have cut down on the serving size. Was hard to change the amount of noodles but now I have it down.
I did all my errands, lunch with friends and he always goes the long way for a drive. Love going across the causeway on the Ohio side of the damn. We ran into sprinkles once and looks like we might have had a little sprinkle here as well.
congratulations Mar on your good Weight loss.
I have cut out Diet coke from my diet, don't like it anymore and used to get the one with CAffeine free but not available anymore so now it is Iced Tea and really cold tomato juice at night. Hoping that helps and with some other things I am doing sure am hoping to have a better month. I did lose 4 lbs in MAY and sure hope to keep it off this time and more. Just remember this is the 4 lbs I put back on several times so doesn't really deserve any happy dancing. I am so discouraged.!! but not giving up.
My DD is going to need my help with the rental house as well, the renter left yesterday and left it filthy. not just lately but this much dirt is over lot of time. We kind of knew that, with 3 little boys, 2 dogs and 2 cats and a lazy MOM and DAD it can't be anything else. Told DD to get us some heavy duty work gloves as we will sure need them. The basement is full of stuff!! guess stuff they didnt' want and never got rid of. I feel so sorry for DD and DSIL. also lot of work to do outside as well. Then house will go up for sale. This will help with activity I am sure.
Phyl, I agree, you don't need to hear all the stories of your new meds. We just want it to work for you!! And sure you will find out what it does for you and for what! Lot of the meds are used for more than one thing. You have a great attitude and we are in your corner.
Good luck with the suitcase, Lin!! Hope most of your stuff is in there.

Suitcase came and unpacked. Laundry in it done or ready for dry cleaner . same time spouse called after cardiologist and said his health issue on trip is GERD, not heart. I could finally stop pacing and collapse for a while. Worried about that almost whole trip.maybe I can sleep now. He is napping.

I'm very late today. We've had some rain off and on.
This is a long day. I'm marginally better today. Things are progressing unevenly, but that's par for the course. The gremlins are hiding things from hb again. I cannot be responsible for those pesky little critters when they're hanging out with him. I've been taking it easy but getting mild exercise. I will need a vacation soon, someplace where there is no TV.!
