Carol - yikes on the surgery - must be pretty major stuff if you're going to be off work for a month! i'm guessing you're right; you won't be able to use the shift (and probably shouldn't move the hand around that much til you're fully recovered?) just think of it as having your own personal chauffeur for a month; draft hubby and son into being your taxi driver! I remember breaking a few fingers years ago and the smallest things were the most frustrating with only one hand - couldn't open any jars or bottles, and trying to dry my hair had me looking like medusa a few times lol! Are you going to be in hosp for a while or is it day sugery? Will keep paws crossed you get some relief from the arthritis once the cyst is gone!

Milove - the flu can REALLY knock you out for a couple of weeks; even after the symptoms themselves are gone its gonna take your immune system a while to recover; take care of yourself for a few days more k??0 -
Hey snooze..
It's a one day out patient in the same office. ...just in the surgical suite down the hall
And yes on everything you said. ...the surgery will be on my right hand and I'm a righty... and don't even want to think about the bathroom aspect. ...minor surgery with big impact on my lifestyle for the month or so. .
The doggone boss doesn't realize what I've tried to tell him. ...he thinks just because it's only one finger I should be ok to come back to work in a week or so. ....ugh...and that everything will be ok.....
Luckily not painful just that the cyst is next to the nail on my hand and is making a dent
And he doesn't realize that my other surgery was on the left side of my brain which controls the right side of your body. ...
Thank goodness I have a hand doctor that should write a good note
Carol:)

It's great to see our little group is so active again! Seehe, I especially like the penquins doing a happy dance- so fitting, and congrats on getting back on track. Yay on the weight loss finally showing up on the scale Snoozie, persistence really does pay off. Only a few days till Feb. Gail, I know you'll be happy with what the scale says Feb 1st. Good luck on the surgery Thursday Carol, I'm sure you don't even realize how much you use that hand without even thinking, wishing you a quick recovery.
Blizzard wasn't too bad here yesterday, but everything was closed, and lots of things are still closed today for cleanup- at least the power didn't go off, so since I was stuck inside and couldn't get out for a walk- I cranked up the music and danced ( like no one was watching, haha), burnt lots of calories. Only time I ventured out was to go with my boxer, little bugger won't go out in bad weather unless I go with him. Thought I'd be smart and put his coat on him and send him out to play, but he just planted his feet inside in front of the door and wouldn't budge till I got dressed and went too. Funny how fast he can high tail it back for the door while I fight my way across the yard in a blizzard!0 -
Snoozie, well done for staying on track and seeing results! That's great you can actually cook at work. I'm envious! It really broadens your options - as long as you can think of quick things to cook apart from omelettes and scrambled eggs! I suppose you could do things like a minute steak to have with a salad or put in a sandwich.
I'm keeping on track surprisingly well at the moment. I think it really suits me to be in a strict routine for eating. I don't have an actual written list of rules, but I am sticking to the ones in my head (3 meals a day, no eating outside of meals, no sweet stuff - mostly!, no calorific drinks, portion control all the time). And there's a few more now since I started the weight loss class at my gym - no caffeine, no alcohol, no processed food, no wheat, no gluten, no cheese, no butter, etc. That's just for the first week, I think, then we can eat a bit more.
Good luck to everybody getting caught in the awful weather. It hasn't been too bad in my part of the world - just windy and wet, but supposedly blizzards on the way.0 -
Snooozie- Your persistence and positive attitude paid off !! So happy for ya!!!! Here's a happy dance for you from the hatters!
HOWLING!!!!! Riverdance... brought to you by the Hatters!!!! love it... sneaking in at work; will reply to all when home tonight but couldn't let the dancing happy feet go by without thanks!0 -
Hello Ladies, snoozie you are setting a good pace, I ate strong today, over calories, I am not going back to counting to stay under till I am fully recover. The happy feet are so cool. My grandson is laughing so much at them.0

very weird.. I did a post over an hour ago here and just noticed on my app it wasn't there so came in to check and poof... its gone lol... maybe menopausal moment and forgot to hit post? well, was just my challenges and my decision to drop the exercise from my list for the next week.. altho I know its essential for my diabetes and overall health, this week I am focusing on the "80% in the kichen" part of my weight loss. Today is my free day and as such, wont be attempting to log my dinner out..
had a good day yesterday and plan to keep seeing those YESSES on hitting my daily goals!
My Wednesday goal results:
- YES - to paying attention to portion control
- YES - to consciously focus on healthier choices thru the day
- YES - to staying within calorie goal
- NO - to 7 glasses of water (6)
- YES - to logging today
(started my water a little earlier in the day yesterday..... but still only made it to 6 LOL)

Had a lovely dinner out on my free day today and enjoyed every bite of my dinner out; and decided to log it just out of curiousity when I got home - not too bad at all!! I skipped the appy and dessert and went with the garlic mashed potatoes Susan LOL!! A side of crisp green beans and various bell peppers and a steak topped with mushrooms and carmelized onions was delish and a wee bit of vino along with and I was a happy and stuffed camper
