When DH had his surgery last year I tried to take care of myself the best I could because I knew I would have to be strong for him.
Reading some good books on trauma. Childhood Disrupted, The Body Keeps Score, Full Catastrophe Livingg, the Chemistry of Calm and the Language of Emotions. They all in different ways go into how trauma effects your body and brain. They each give suggestions on how to help yourself heal from trauma. There is no one way that works for everybody. Writing is often suggested.
Full Catastrophe is the text book for a Mindful Meditation course.
It is part of why I have had made meditating part of my on going goals.
I did make it to a Zumba class today and really enjoyed it.
Heather the trauma your father put you through as a child was wrong. I am glad you found your voice through your memoir to find healing.

So just talked with transplant doctor, and the procedure to reattach the bile duct to bowels went well! He was out early she said. No problems, and they are moving him to his room, not ICU. Relieved and happy!

(((Becca))): I tried to reach you this morning to send you my phone number but didn't succeed. I hope all is well. (((HUGS)))
Becca: Doing the happy dance for you and your DH. I'm so glad that the surgery went well.
Barbie: Thanks for letting us know that Jake's surgery went well. I hope this surgery does the trick and Jake is stronger and happier as a result.
Heather: I like the possible book cover art you've shown us. It is outstanding and evocative. Happy Birthday to Bea!!! :bigsmile:
We went to the dentist for our semi-annual check up & teeth cleaning this morning and all went well. Then we went out for lunch and shopping. I found some earrings that I wanted to give to DGD for her birthday. They're in a lovely decorative box and on their way via US mail. I found them in an independent jewelry business in a neighboring town. The jeweler creates wonderful original pieces; some are in gold, some in silver. (He did the work to size my wedding ring up and down -up because I gained so much weight I couldn't get it on my finger, and down after I found MFP and lost the extra weight.) We'd already ordered DGD a sanho yopo for her birthday. (This is a stretchy outfit to wear for dance and play as I understand it.)
Now she has two gifts from us and we're working on a package for all three kids for Easter.

Hello ladies, I'm here early because my Wednesday evening tv is some of my favorite.
I am so grateful that both Barbie and Becca's husbands came through surgery fine. And Becca has a good place to,sleep tonight. Nit the hard part starts for all.
We usually have a restaurant that will offer a free piece nor pie today but I haven't seen any. Bob Evans is offering free Mointain Dew this week. But that has nothing to do with Pi day.
I feel a bit drunk with this dose of Lyrica. But the pain is a bit better if I watch what I a, touching. But I don't want to have to watch what I touch, I was paying bills this afternoons and I had this lap desk on my lap. Funny how a lap desk goes on your lap. Anyway, it is extremely cold for my hand to be on. I hate it that I am left handed and the stroke affected my left hand.
So that is me today, a drunk lady with a cold hand, but the fingers don't hurt as much and that counts.
Beautiful babies.

Barbie and Becca- Yea for the successful surgeries!
Heather- How did I NOT know that my pi-boy shares a birthday with your beautiful Bea?! I love that smile on her face! And those rosy cheeks and twinkly eyes...I bet she is a handful!
katla- lol You know I am going to have to Google sanho yopo to see this outfit?! Intriguing!.........okay, just looked it up on Amazon. Those are kind of cool. My kiddos would have a blast in those.
Margaret- Those books sound right up my alley. Going to have to look for those. Thanks for the info!
Made the family Mongolian chicken and wild rice, with broccoli and mushroom side for dinner. I made a soup with leftover buffalo chicken, low sodium chicken stock, mushrooms and rice. It was good and I didn't even miss the Mongolian sauce (for me, the meat and bread is only a way to convey the delicious sauces into my mouth).
Heading to bed. ttfn xoxoxo KJ6 -

Becca and Barbie! Thanks for sharing the good news on your guys! Now you can get some rest and relaxation while they begin the healing process.
Kelly - I can't believe Joaquin is a year old already. Thanks for sharing the newborn and recent photos! I don't recall any of the problems that you're having with your "girls" other than mine seemed to be swollen and painful a lot during peri-meno! Fibrocystic like Joyce mentioned. I think I wore a bra 24/7 just to keep them from getting "jostled" lol.
Once I reached meno once and for all, that stopped thankfully and I see with weight loss they are shrinking up a bit. Fine with me-less for gravity to pull south!
Heather - Bea is such a cutie. At what age do children in the UK start school? Is there anything like a pre-school or what we call kindergarten before they go into regular day-long school?
Kate - Enjoy Spain! Hope you have sunny and nice weather!!
Yesterday I stopped at a local flooring business. They do a TON of the luxury vinyl and had zillions of samples and a lot installed on their own floors there. I think we'll have them come out to do an estimate. I am guessing it will cost more than Home Depot but the installers live here in the community and their reputation is top-notch.
Today I received my first allergy shots and dropped off the serum at the doctor's office, will go in the next 2 Wednesdays for shots then come April it's twice a week. I am so ready - sneezing, nose running the past few days so hope it does the trick.
Rita - I don't think I could give myself those shots. Do you inject in the arm? Tummy? EEUUWWW, lol.
Have a wonderful evening!!

Good evening
It has been an emotionally exhausting week for me. I did lose 1 pound!
Sue in WA-what is it with Drs? They give us something that works for us and then want to take it away! I take estradiol 2mg every day. I was having migraines every week, was a @#$%&, hot flashes, cold freezes, hair falling out in clumps. I was a mess! All the above stopped in a few days of starting meds. Okay, sometimes I can still be bad, and took a couple of weeks for hair to slow down, but it worked. My migraines are now only weather related, strong fronts hurt head. I average one a month, sometimes 3 months between. When they tried reducing dosage, I had a 3 day migraine that put me to bed! I understand there are risks, but no family history to cause undo concern. I am happy to sign their papers and keep taking. Good luck with your Dr.
Becca and Barbie-peace and hugs!

Barbie and Becca- wonderful news
Felicia - did you HAVE to tell me about your warm weather, especially when we got snow this morning. Admitted, it didn't last long at all. And tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 60's. Talk about mother nature not taking her meds....lol

Becca and Barbie, I’m so relieved to hear good news from both of you.
Lanette, I am following your flooring story with interest. I want luxury vinyl tiles for my kitchen and prefinished hardwood for my bedrooms, living room and hall, but can not afford either right now since we are spending so much on our bathrooms. One step at a time. We hope to have enough saved to do the hardwood by summer and maybe the kitchen early next year or maybe December. Our one quote we got for LVT for the kitchen and laundry room was $5000. I’m hoping we can find a more affordable price.
Non-scale victory: in honor of Pi day, Kroger had pie on sale for $3.14. I resisted all.
