Becca, I am praying for the best possible outcome with your husband’s illness. It sounds very serious.
Welcome new people. I know the tired all the time feeling. Sometimes I just have to tell myself to get up and do something and somehow I get it done. I find I do feel better when I follow my healthy eating plan.

I want to clear up a misconception. We went to a dance. My husband danced. But he cannot dance! Lol I applaud his effort.
Much love to all. Praying for your hubby, Becca. Is he at OHSU?
Welcome to the new ladies.

Yep at OHSU. He is resting comfortably. He shall call me tomorrow. Son might visit him after he gets off work. I am hoping the doctors all have a powwow, and he has the surgery. Prudence brought me a little rose, bless her!

He called me this evening, and tomorrow we'll find out what the doctors decide to do. I guess they have to clear up his jaundice, before they can open him up, but to fix the problem they have to open him up. The exact same incision as when he had his transplant. The surgeon stated they would put a pain medicine epidural in is spine, something he's never had done. But he does have a high tolerance of pain. After his transplant he took oxytocin for just the first couple of days, then switched to Tylenol.

Barbie Yes to the Dan Harris. Put holds on both books, will look at the app. Thanks!
Terry "everything... is too big" You GO girl! it's not too late, you might still make your goal. What does your Dr. say about the thinning hair?
Rye and the AaRCRS cat looks sooo innocent "who me???"
Pat in PA welcome! Dog pics always welcome
Heather didn't realize how close Hove is to Brighton. Was in Brighton in the late 70's for a World Science Fiction Convention. Our Regency Dancing group toured the Pavilion. Curry and thunderstorm cured my bronchitis. My memories are v. fond.
Tracie in WI You are so right about the luge. Not enough drugs in the world to get me to try
Evie (oww) gentle hugs.
Lenora what does "in the rotating door of like" mean? Good luck with your appointments!
Lanette "Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb!" We really like Route 66 and have the DVDs. Nope, we haven't watched Olympics either. Neither of us is much into sports.
Joyce ditto everyone about that rail. Maybe another handyman is more cold hardy?
Lisa Grocery delivery, YAY! You and Rita inspired me to install Words with Friends
Mary in AZ Sr. Ladies pom pommers rock!
Michele "loving the body I have" let me know how you accomplish that. Wanted to listen to Estes' Joyous Body but the library doesn't have it and Amazon wants $60 for it. ;(
Becca sending good thoughts both to you and your DH. Glad you called the EMTs. Hope the surgery can be SOON and successful. ((hugs)) and sleepy wishes for sweet dreams.
Joyce it's wonderful when sisters get along as well as your Trin and Ellie.
Steph and Joni welcome! This place is full of wisdom and support. When I'm down or stuck, I take a micro action (Thanks NYKaren) to make myself feel better. Sometimes it's just prep some veggies. Sometimes it's do just one SWSY arm exercise. But any tiny action to improve helps!
Kay wish Dave would send some of his "learn new things" mojo to Joe
Got a lovely letter from my biomom's husband, guess he's my step dad. Responded with an encyclopedic update of our homesearch, move, my blod clots, et ad nauseum cetera, so I'm all written out and you all are spared.
Sweet dreams and hugs to all,
Mindful hugs to all,Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD.

Machka, where are you?
Having a frustrating time with my weight stuck, despite my bonus exercise in the pm. Decided to do a check on body fat after Lisa's post. So I measured myself and my measurements have gone down by half an inch each on waist and hips. :drinker: Must be doing something right! I do feel good, apart from a squishy tummy and wrinkly skin. Oh, and cellulite thighs.I'd love to be able to wear shorts, Michele. I've had cellulite since I was 21.
Inherited from my mother.
So my body fat was 26% according to the very inaccurate test I did with the tape measure. Not awful, but room for improvement.

Becca - Sending best wishes for your husband. Hope they make the right decision for him.
I wore my heart rate monitor for my exercises today, just to give myself some motivation. I'm finding it really hard to get my heart rate up these days. I included a one minute HI IT session on the elliptical and finished at 127. I suppose that's good.?
I'm going to wear it for my "run" this pm, just out of interest. I'm barely shuffling faster than a fast walk, so it won't be high. I think I need to run for about 40 - 45 mins to get to a 5k in a few weeks time. My DDIL does it in 24 mins. :laugh: By the end of the c25k app I will be running for 30 mins only with five minutes each side walking. So not 5k. I've measured out a distance in the lanes, so will have a go in about 3 weeks time.Hope my knee behaves itself.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxx5 -

Morning Ladies
I am awake but just sort of resting in bed.
Becca-thinking of your honey and wishing him a swift recovery..and you my friend you have us all in your pocket xoxo.
Well went to see the medium yesterday,and of course dad came barging through wanting to be my protector. My godson was fighting for time with me too,but dad over road...
I from what she said are a caregiver,protector, counselor, healer and teacher...knew I had children one going through very very hard time,and one super emotional...both will be ok...dad is taking care of everyone from the other side...
Had to write one question down on piece of paper and she help it in her had the whole time we were together...I asked her to ask Dad where the will was..now she didn't know what I wrote but she said let me share a memory with you..we could never find my dad's will..and I said BINGO..dad said there are things in the house that are sentimental but if you need the money sell them....
Bought a pendulum stone...and she was put mingling before reading and showed me how it works..you ask it yes or no questions and it will move with the question.so my brother was freaking out,it wouldn't work for him if he held it,but it worked for me...so somewhere in my dad's bedroom is the will..so the pendulum stone says ,and I keep thinking it's behind the mirror so will look today when I go up... enough yapping for now...4 -
Good day ladies,
Scale up a pound. Oh well, it comes it goes and I plug along. DD got enough of her homework done to be able to take tomorrow off and spend the day with me. Going to take a drive and do some clothes shopping . Also want to stop on the way at an antique mall that is huge and fun to go through. Maybe I’ll even find something that I can incorporate with my jewelry. That will be fun. I’ve been looking at antique jewelry for inspiration and have some great idea spinning around in my head. Hope to try to take some pictures with my light box today. Going to cut another hole in the top so I’ll have light on three sides and that will take care of the shadows.
Allie, can’t wait to hear if you find the will in the bedroom. Years ago a group of us would go to get a reading. We alway had such fun.
Heather, good for you on the walking. WTG.
Barbara, the dr says I have female pattern baldness which is like what men get. I don’t have patches gone thank goodness just a general overall thinning on top. It is especially noticeable when in a bright light. Tried to gain but that didn’t help. I haven’t noticed it getting any thinner lately so if it stops now and doesn’t get any worse I’ll be thrilled.
Becca, the rocks are beautiful! What a great idea. Sending healing thoughts your DH’s way. Don’t forget to take care of yourself too. (((Hugs)))
Make it a good Sunday ladies.

Did Prevention's Slim Strong and Firm DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to try the Next Level class
Don't know why, but I couldn't sleep last night. And got a craving for a piece of the chocolate cake I brought down.
Made some bacon the oven last night. By the time I finished making the package, I'd finally gotten down a good way to do it. Well, I'll know for another time.
Heather - how fast did your heartrate come down?
After exercise, went to Publix. Got 4 newspapers. There's supposed to be a special supplement about SpaceX. Also got some oranges, they had Asian Pears, and grapes. That should hold me for a while. Tomorrow after exercise I'll probably go to Aldi since I need vinegar. I was thinking that I may have to take some of the frozen food I brought back to them. I told you I went a bit hog-wild!
In the 80's again.

Allergies bad today. Have sinus headache from them. Very windy. Think I might skip the walk until wind atops and headache clears.
Glad to hear food delivery works for son.
Can’t think, sneezing

I'm starting to keep a peach and an apple in my pocketbook in case Vince decides he wants to go to Brusters or someplace else where I don't want the food.
Michele in sunny fL3 -
Michele - I don't know, because I wasn't wearing the watch, just reading it on the machine. Previously when I've tested it it's come down pretty fast.
Did my Day 1 Week 7 c25k today. Plus read a running magazine.I did fine. I forgot to wear my heart monitor though.
Did not do my typing.

Carol-that sounds like a song : ).
Cold and freezing rain today, 80 predicted for Thursday. Crazy weather.
I don’t have a exercise bike so I get up every commercial and walk. Amazing how many steps you can get in doing that. So I gained a pound this week so will have to do a better job with my diet. I am getting exercise but trainer at Y said I need to do more cardio. I love yoga and been going two or three times a week but may need to just do two and more cardio.
Becca- thinking of you and your hubby.
We’d to move.
