Good afternoon,
It's snowing again. It's April Fools Day. I guess Mother Nature if fooling us. lol
I am once on the couch with feet up and ice on my knee. They say it's good but it doesn't seem to help. I do get and move around each or at least try.1 -
Good evening,
It's snowed off and on all day. Nothing accumulated. I've been home all day. Part of the time with my leg up with ice.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, I take Mary to Missoula for a doctor appointment and monthly shopping. I hope it goes well.1 -
Good evening,
I had PT this morning, then went straight to pick up Mary. My knee was feeling really good, best so far. But the more I moved around in Missoula, the sore I got. I have my feet up wit ice on my knee.
I will get a MRI on Thursday, at last!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea you have been busy. It sucks when nothing seems to help the knee pain.
Sorry I have been MIA. I have been struggling for a week to do anything that pertains to my healthy journey. I was in a funk unless I was with friends. I slept and laid around and ate most of the time. Thursday, Friday and Saturday was spent out with friends. 2 get togethers and 1 concert. Hubbies attitude didn't help any either. Do to this I gained again. At least not as much as I thought I would.
Last night after talking to a friend I went to bed with a plan. It worked for most of what I planned to do. I even got a walk in that wasn't planned as the rain had stopped for a bit. Today another friend told me it was time to get some perspective and shared hers. Here is my response to her: Such a great idea! Let's see I have lost over 90 lbs since the beginning of my journey in 2018. I am down from a 3x to a large shirt. I am in a large or size 16 pants from a 28. As I was writing this I wanted to add the negatives that have happened but I am refusing to acknowledge those thoughts. I will not feel sorry for myself. I have allowed myself to hurt myself long enough it's time to buck up and geter done.
Tomorrow I will get up when the alarm goes off. I will do something productive until it is time to go for my walk. I will go for my walk. I will have breakfast. I will complete my workouts. I will do chores that make me feel productive and help me enjoy the beautiful weather that's predicted.0 -
Good evening
Good to see you here again. I've been missing you.
My knee is doing better. If I'm careful. I can bend it a little when I walk. I only walked stiff legged until today.
I lost .2 pound at TOPS today. We had a no gain meeting. No turtles either.1 -
Good Afternoon Everyone!
Thank you so much for your support!
I missed being here as well and am glad to be back. Great job on the shedding of weight!
I am checking in early as I am going to Church tonight. This also means dinner won't be till after 8 pm. This doesn't bother me to much as it will keep me from snacking. But it will make for a later night. Anyways, today has been great! Stuck to my plan and feel productive. Dishes almost caught up, laundry hung on line and another almost finished. Also got most of dinner ready so won't take long when I get home.
Tomorrow's commitment: I will get up when the alarm goes off. I will do some exercise before my walk. I will go for my walk. I will got to Church. I will complete my workouts after Church. I will do cleaning after that.0 -
Good afternoon,
I hope your plan is going well.
I was ready for PT this morning. I got a call saying my therapist called in sick. So I didn't have PT today. Bummer!
My knee is feeling better and I can do more. Nights and early mornings are still very painful to walk. I had a MRI yesterday. It'll be 1 to 2 weeks before I have the results. I hate the waiting.
I might write more later this evening.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Glad your knee is feeling better. Waiting always sucks.
Today went well. Changed a few things around to work out better. All my exercises except my walk was completed before Church. After Church I went for my walk. Got a few other things done but not much today. Just happened to check my online school account and discovered that they finally sent my books on the 5th of April. Guess they didn't learn anything about notifying people when they're not expecting them. My Son is here till Tuesday but has to work tonight and tomorrow. This is the first year that we haven't celebrated Easter with the big family on Easter. But I have a nice meal planned for dinner.0 -
Good evening,
We're home for the weekend this year. Our church is having an Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow and we'll help with that. I'm not sure if I'll come I here tomorrow or not.
If not, have a happy Easter!1 -
Good Evening Everyone and Happy Easter weekend!
Today has been beautiful and cool. But productive. Studied, went for my walk, completed my workouts, ran a couple of errands, did dishes and laundry. So nice to put laundry on the line again. Also decorated 6 Easter Eggs with my Son before he left for work. Also going to Church this evening.

Good evening
The Easter Egg Hunt went well this afternoon. Lots of kids! We also gave the original Easter story.
Each day my knee feels better. I have just a slight limp. Each step still has a little pain, but it's not the sharp pain that I had.1 -
Good evening
It's been mostly a lazy day at home. The temperature got up to 79 degrees F. today. I washed a blanket and hung it on the line today. It didn't take long to dry. Tomorrow I have PT. My knee is still improving..1 -
Good evening,
PT went well this morning. Therapist was impressed at how well I was doing. Tomorrow is TOPS. I hope your TOPS went well today
1 -
Good evening,
TOPS this morning. I was Loser of the Week. I was able to do the walk at TOPS also. Next week out chapter advocate will be visiting our chapter.
Tomorrow, I have PT again. No word about the MRI. It'll probably be next week before I hear when I see the doctor.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sorry I have been MIA. It's been crazy around here and will be for the rest of the week.
I am glad your knee is feeling better. Congrats on your loss at TOPS!
Had a great Easter with my Son, Hubby and friends. Have been really enjoying the summer like weather we are having. Downfall is that the apartment gets really hot when making dinner. Air conditioner is still in storage. Stayed the same on the scale this week.0 -
Good evening,
Good to see you again! This has been a busy day for us. Then doctor appointments for both of us. Tomorrow we're going to Missoula.1 -
Good evening.
In case you haven't read it elsewhere, the doctor called this morning with results from MRI. It's a torn meniscus. But that's not all. I have osteoarthritis in the knee. The Dr said he could repair the meniscus and it would buy a little time before I had to have it replaced anyway. So I told him let's get it replaced and get it done with. I see him next Friday, so we'll work out the details then.
In the mean time, I'll work my knee to make it as strong as I can before surgery. I've already been working on that. PT has helped with that.

Good evening,
We've been home most of the day. I did talk Robert to get out and walk this morning. We walked around the block, which is about a third of a mile. It's the first I got out walking.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I have been crazy busy! But made it through the heat and now back to cold, rain and snow.
I am glad you got answers about your knee. I think you're making the right choice with the knee replacement.
Today ended up being a complete rest day. Just have no energy. Tomorrow is TOPS and weigh day. Will be interesting how I do since Friday we had my friends 60th birthday bash and Sunday was Easter with the family. On Thursday finally got my school books. Now to get back on track. Will try to be more consistent with my daily check-ins.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained 1.5 lbs. this week. I am frustrated with myself but I am not giving up. I know I can do this. I just have to figure out how to get myself back to the motivation of the past. My why's have not really changed much in 4 years.0 -
Good evening
7ou just have to get over this hump.
Tomorrow I have TOPS. Right after TOPS I have to scoot off to pt. I think the scales will be nice to me. At least I hope so.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a mostly great day. Walk and workouts done, studied, did dishes and laundry. Also went to my friends to do my taxes. First an issue with the laptop, then it wouldn't accept my card for payment because the addresses didn't match up exactly. Now will have to go to H&R to get them done. Even though the workers are striking. Oh well have till the end of the month.0 -
Good evening,
Today, I was Loser of the Week with a loss of 1. 4 pounds. So what did I do? I pigged out. lol Tomorrow is a new day.
Right after TOPS. I headed to PT. They gave me a workout! I'm ok with it. I've had a doctor comment about my good legs and a therapist say I have strong legs. I know I'm doing something right. The stronger my legs are, the better my recovery will be after the knee replacement.
Tomorrow, nothing is planned, so I'll catch up on things. Paying bills, catch up on TOPS paperwork. Both shouldn't take long. So then it's cleaning house.1 -
Good evening,
It felt good to stay home all day. Tomorrow is the appointment at the Bone and Joint. I'll know more about my upcoming knee replacement.1 -
Good evening,
I saw the doctor this morning. I'll have surgery the first of June. I said it had to be after June 3, when our grandson graduates from high school.
It's been a wet snowy day with no snow accumulation. I'm getting tired if this weather!1 -
Good evening,
Today has been a lazy day. Malia, our granddaughter, was here for a couple hours. It's cloudy, but no rain or snow today.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Congrats on your loss!
Have been busy. Went to Church this morning and got some spirit steps in before the service. Planned to go for a walk after but was just to chilly. Got my workouts done. Trying hard with my food choices. Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment, then heading to h&r block to get my taxes done. I know it's not the cheapest way for me but it's only one year and I just want to get them done on time. Then my Son is coming for the night.0 -
Good evening,
We went to church this morning. Afterwards we went out to eat and took Mary with us. This is the first time in several months that she agreed to go with us.1 -
Good evening
It's been a quiet day at home today. So I just mostly puttered around the house. Robert and I had a half mile walk this afternoon after it quit raining.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I think Mary going with you to eat is a sign she is feeling so much better.
Today has been an interesting day. We had a few snow flakes and it's been cold. Went for my walk this morning, and studied. My dentist appointment was quick to fix a filling that was missing part. Another appointment tomorrow afternoon for another filling. I also stopped in at H&R block. Their prices are crazy. So on Wednesday I will try to figure out how to get my payment to go through or I might have to cally tax friend. After getting home I called my doctor to make an appointment for my shoulder. It's been bothering me for about a month and need to make sure nothing serious is wrong. Well couldn't get in until May 8th. Took the option of booking an appointment with the clinic my Dr. is part of. Sending me for x-rays and ultrasound. She also gave me physio exercises to do since can't afford to go to physio. On my way home my ankle twisted and cracked stepping down to the door on the bus. That's very painful and hoping I didn't do anything serious to it. I have wrapped it and will see how it feels tomorrow. Hoping I can go to TOPS tomorrow. Will depend on if I can put enough weight on it to walk to and from buildings and cars. May have to cancel my dentist appointment tomorrow as well. Great more fees.0
