Hi gang. Thanks for the birthday wishes. It has been a long week for me. Hubby left to go back to work on Monday. Tuesday being my birthday was cram packed. I took Iris to school first. Then a friend texted me and wanted to take me to breakfast. Then we walked around Ward Lake. It is about a 1 3/4 mile walk. After the walk I went to therapy. Then I went to lunch with another friend. After the kids got home from school I went to a friend's house and finished making some moonshine. My friend made me some chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. When I came home my oldest Shaundra made me brownies. Meanwhile I had friends texting me all day long sending wishes. Wednesday I went in the pool with the dry suit. The water sure felt good on the legs. Thursday was another therapy day. They measured my range of motion. Before surgery it was 6-92 degrees mobility. Yesterday it was 2-97degrees!!!!!!! I haven't had 2 degrees in over 10 years. And then it had only lasted 3 months. My muscles ache because they haven't been stretched that far in so long. But that is the only pain I am experiencing. However I have managed to get a minor infection at the bottom of the incision. I have been soaking the crap out of it and I have an antibiotic I got yesterday as well. It is looking good so far. And the therapist is amazed at my progress. She says I am acting like I am 2!months out of surgery not 3 weeks.

Good morning, I completed my treatments yesterday and all went well. The doctor said there isn't any visible cancer and my cervix looks like a normal one. He said my cancer is in remission. I won't be able to get a pep scan until the end of December. He seems very happy with the results, so I need to believe him.
After that my sister and I went to Red Lobster, I finally got some fish and shrimp, my lunch was very good. I haven't been there in years, my husband don't like it there. After that I came home and then after my husband got home and I seen him for alittle bit, I took a long nap, I didnt get alot of sleep, the night before and had to get up at 4.
I really dont know what I'm getting into today, my husband is working, so I am on my own. I do plan on making stuffed green peppers later for super.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers and concerns, while I was going through all my health issues, it has been greatly appreciated. Have a good weekend everyone. Janice0 -

Marie - sorry about the heal acting up again, but good they found it early so you can try healing again.
Janice - Hurrah!! all is well for you and hope it continues. We are more than happy to help you get through this. I am glad you stuck it out on this thread with us.
Esther - sounds like you too are healing well. We are seeing friends on Tuesday and he just had a knee
replacement and seems to be doing well. His other one gets done in the Spring.
We had such a beautiful day that we rode our bikes to next town and stopped for breakfast and then did some shopping and went to the farmers market.
Have a good weekend everyone!0 -

Hi, We are finally getting a break from the heat, it is raining and has cooled off, right now it's in the mid 60's. The crazy thing is overnight our central air / furnace went out, I was sweating in my sleep, and I had to call the heating air repairman this morning. I have a couple of windows open, and it feels good in here now. The repairman won't be here till later this afternoon, but it's suppose to be cool for a few days.
Yesterday I went to Walmart to get out and I bought 4 new sets of sweats, they are so inexpensive, and I wanted some new ones. I came home and washed them in cold water to get them ready to wear.
So much for just relaxing, atleast the air hung in there until I was done with my treatments, hopefully it won't cost too much. Have a good day. Janice0 -
It was sunny today but raining right now. It is supposed to cool off but so far still warm.
I didn't go to Yoga this morning instead I took a walk before the rain hit. I finished up laundry today
and still have to put it away. I have been cooking the last two days because we are getting company
Tuesday-Thursday. Kathy will be bringing Isaac on Wednesday for an overnight too. I hope he gets
along with their dog. They are bringing their Australian Shepherd and she likes to herd people.
I will probably be off the grid for a few days so have a great one!

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Hope we get the cooler weather soon!!!
Janice, So happy you are finished with your treatments and feel like shopping. You were so strong during your this time!!!
Have a good evening.

Good Morning Misfits!
A cool front is on its way finally. We should have below avg temps on Wed after months of above average. I'm ready. It was 92 degrees Sunday afternoon during my son's soccer match.
I'm also looking forward to taking my exercise back outside!!
Congrats Janice! I'm so glad this is behind you.
Happy days for you, Esther!!!
Connie...where are you? Hope you are doing well.
Marie, so happy you are able to get out and about a bit again:-)
Nancy..hi!
Shirley, glad you enjoyed time with your grand baby:-)
Well, one more day of extreme heat and then I'll be able to enjoy the cooler weather tomorrow.
Oh and not sure if any if you follow MLB, but my youngest son went to a free baseball clinic at our rec center and MLB player Brian McCann's dad was the batting instructor! And he was a great instructor.

Hi, I got my air/ furnace fixed today, it was the control panel. It was $472 to fix.I really can't complain atleast I didnt have to buy a new unit, this one is 21 years old. I have already replaced the inducer motor this year and we replaced the blower motor at the end of 2012 and in 2007 the A coil. Hopefully it will be good for a few years, since we have already replaced so much.
The weather is still nice and I have my windows open, even though the air is fixed. Maybe I'll save some money, lol, but I do love when I have the windows open and let fresh air in? I think it's suppose to be like this all week. I hope all of you get this nice weather soon. Janice0 -

Janice...glad you are able to keep your unit alive!
Marie...glad Jerry can help you.
Ruthie...I am here and hanging on.
Nancy...hope you are doing well.
Stay strong, losers!

Morning everyone,
The weather here is better and expected to get a lot better soon. High in the eighties and low in the fifties.
Not much going on with me today other than a dental appointment and church later today.
Hope it's a good day for you.

Same here, Connie. We were supposed to have much cooler weather but I just came in drenched in sweat.....
Ruthie0 -
Hi, I hate to brag, but we had another cool day, it suppose to be that until the weekend, then be in the 70's. It's been in the 60's the past 3 days. But that's Kentucky weather, one day warm, the next it could snow. It was nice not having nowhere to go and not waiting on the air man. Today is the first day this week, it's been that way. I just did some laundry,watched tv and made white chicken chili. My husband is still at work the past couple of days, he's had some long days, trying to work on 2 different jobs, in a day.
Marie-I hope your leg and foot heal soon, I know you can't wait either. Janice0 -
Lol Janice, brag away.
Today is a new day and I have hope it will be cooler.
Check back later.
Ruthie0 -
I am jealous, Janice! 88 expected here today and still as muggy as ever!!
We had a few sprinkles last night but not enough. I will not complain, though, because I woke up this morning, and I am grateful!
Connie0 -

Marie - Hang in there, I hope your condition gets better and isn't a chronic problem. Keep smiling!! You are a lovely person to know.
Janice - Must feel good not to have to deal with treatments and apts.
Our weather here is mostly rain and Fall has definitely come to our neighbood. All my windows are closed because its chilly.
Our company has left and I got to see my grandbaby over night and we had so much fun with him. I am
hoping to either get take in food or go somewhere tonight , I have been doing nothing but dishes for days now.
Our next family get together will be Canadian Thanksgiving on October 10th. We have a planned trip
to NYC on October 11th so getting excited about that.
I will be going to a diet clinic end of October, I have 4 pages of information to fill out and my doctor suggested it so I will keep you guys informed about it. I thought well, have tried everything so one more thing may help plus there is no fee our health insurance covers it.
Have a good weekend.

Hi everyone,
I got energetic and got out and washed my car this afternoon as it was in the upper 70 but I still got hot.
Marie, I wish you could get back your health. It must be discouraging to have the on going problem. You are a great encourager and I am hoping you get things back to normal soon.♥️
Shirley, I think getting help is a great thing when
losing weight is elusive. I have been looking into what is available in my area but the only thing I find has a lot of soy in their foods and I just can't have too much soy.
Connie, I hope you get relief with the muggy weather soon.
Janice, You must be celebrating being finished with your treat treatments. Must be a great feeling.
Hope everyone is doing good.

Hi,
Nancy-It has been great being done with treatment, now I need to figure out what I want to do.
Marie-I am happy your legs look better and that your nurse is sweet and you like her. That's great your still holding at 175, I weigh yesterday and was 182, still up a few pounds from being in the w70's too, but thats okay. My weight has been higher and lower the past 2 months, I plan on getting some more of this weight off, now that my treatments are over. I did make brownies as a treat this week, I haven't been to bad with them, but they are my vice, that's why I can't make them to often.
Ruthie-I hope you get your cooler air soon, it's been raining here alittle, but we need it, still cooler.
Nancy- I am happy that you felt energetic and washed your car today, my energy level isn't very big, it comes in spurts.
Connie-I bet you are getting ready for your new grandbaby, it'll be here soon won't it.
Shirkey-Your trip to New York sounds nice, I have never been there, you are one busy person always on the move. That's great you feel like it, plus still have time for family. Gotta go. Janice

Hi guys. Thanks for the birthday wishes last week. It has been really crazy here. Between my travel plans changing yet again. The kids school schedules and ballet schedules. There has been a lot of excrement hitting the rotating oscillator around here so I have been reading but not posting. I'm doing good all things considered. I ended up with a minor infection at the very bottom end of the incision. A weeks worth of antibiotics and it is all gone. My therapist gave me some exercises that I can do while on a road trip. I am almost ready to go on my trip. Just have a few minor things left to pack.

no October post yet?. My the months are flying bye. is is the first of October. We have been posting together almost 2 years.Under one name or another.I have enjoy every moment of it too.Except my currant illness. I ave a new blister to pop up and busted. They say it takes a lon time for a diabetes to heal Well it does indeed.
Did I tell you guys I quit using the bath lady. Jerry is helping me take my shower now She was a very nice lady We just got tired waiting around for her to show up. Now I can get my shower early in the morning instead of between 2 and 5 Pm
Have a very nice day my friends Marie 0 -
Marie - So happy things are looking up for you. It helps when you like the people that are caring for you.
Nancy - I don't know what this clinic is going to do for me, but I will be patient and see. My apt. is end of October.
Janice - Your energy will resume but it will probably take a while seeing what you went through and your body has to adjust again.
Hi to Connie and Ruthie. I guess we have lost a few ladies but they always return at some point.
Yesterday I did a little shopping and bought some new pictures for our upstairs bedroom. I was tired
of what was there and I like to change things up sometimes. I also bought a Himalayan Salt Lamp
for my meditation room which is a plug in and has a dimmer switch.
Not much news just going to do some ironing and maybe start a new book my daughter sent me.
