    Well it has been a very busy week at work this is the first down time I have had. I will be weighing myself tomorrow forgot this morning and had breakfast and I like to do it first thing in the morning. so I wlll step on the stupid scale that is always wrong :bigsmile: :laugh: :wink:

    I will not let a couple of pounds ruin my holiday. I will keep trying but it seams much harder during the holiday's with all the running around. My company had a first holiday party in years and I just did not feel much like going, dont think a lot of us went.

    Kelly I had surgury on my left shoulder years ago for a tear it is not bad and the pain was gone. Hope your family is helping with the day to day stuff (they should be).

    Well back to work. Talk later tomorrow will be tough to check in leaving at 6am to go shopping with mom, then drop dog off to be cleaned and then shopping , pick dog up (he will smell better ) then back out shopping, then going to the pops in Boston. Mom planned a full day for us, she called me at work to tell me to go to bed early it is a play day. :drinker:

    Good Morning Pepper's,
    Well crazy weekend. Started shopping at 6:30AM with mom and in afternoon went to the see the Pop's at Symphony Hall, it was wonderful, then more shopping dropped in bed at 11PM. Yesterday cooked dinner went out and grabbed a few more gifts. Went to bed very late last night so sleepy today. But I have a long weekend I am off Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday go back to work on Tuesday. Never got to weigh myself this week but feel I am doing good.

    Well should be a busy day at work. Check back later.

    Ladies, I've been MIA for a reason. Saturday night, Dave & Kim were in a car accident. Most likely totalled the 2000 minivan.
    There's a 4 way stop approx 5 miles from my house. An out of state driver did not see the stop sign & hit the van at approx 50 mph. Hit at the passenger front side, where Kim was sitting. The minivan was spun around.

    My dau was not wearing her seatbelt & suffered a mild concussion. She called me after the accident to tell me of accident & Dave not breathing well. That dropped me to my knees. See he just got told about some major cardio issues so... I thinking it's bad, real bad. Kim did call 911 from the accident site & I arrived minutes after EMT did.

    Angels must have been watching over them. Despite the extent of damage to the van, Kim's injury is minor. Dave has contussions on several internal organs, and on his 'good" knee. Other knee is being considered for knee replacement surgery. So now both his knees are bad. He's in a lot of pain, the bruises are beginning to form on his chest.
    Dave's injury could have been much worse too. So I do believe they were watched over. "We are blessed, very blessed.

    On Friday, my weight was 177. Which is a jump. I'm not surprised based on the amount of holiday events and lack of exercise.

    I'm taking off time this week to assist Dave. His walking is very strained, any movement is causing pain, and the meds side effect is breathing difficulties. Let me add, this needs to be watched due to his cardio/sleep apena issues. Sigh....

    For those who sent well wishes and prayers via facebook, thank you. I do appreciate it.

    Morning Pepper's,
    Barb thank God they were ok. Saying prays for all of you for a quick recovery.
    Kelly it has snowing here yesterday and today. I cant shovel so its fine with me my commute is longer because the subway and buses do not run very well in the snow.

    I guess this has been a very busy week and will go fast. Have not been too good at all to much holiday junk around and in the house. After the last two cleanings my tooth is killing me even worse now. Cant eat hot or cold or sweet with out pain. Its not like I can stop eating and drinking. I have to call them today but I really dont have time to go to the dentist before the holiday.


    Well back to work. check back later, Hang in there Pepper's we will get back to normal soon.

    lots of stressful things going on for some of us....one day at a time my friends, get thru one day and then onto the next. thinkin of you all and good/happy/improvement ~~vibes~~ going out for everyone.

    ok, so I had my MRI. WOW. I just closed my eyes and a few times I was close to falling asleep..weird. and something that bothered me the most about the whole thing, is that I was a tight fit. I could especially feel it on my shoulders. was very upset with myself. anyway, that was at 12:45 and they called results by 4:30. Not good. Nurse said " a few tears"...1) a slap tear? and 2) a supraspinatous tendon tear....I did a quick search online and the 2nd one made me nauseous. Surgery for sure. Dr I want is booked til Feb but I guess *my* Dr is gonna send an email with my results ( per request by the surgeon's nurse ) to see if they can get me in earlier. what to do...I am bummed. I don't know anything about muscle/tendon tears. I just thought they would heal if you left them alone, wore a brace. This is my very first time under anesthesia....I am nervous.

    The good today is I am done shopping and my cards are all sent. doing some baking for the guys.

    ((hugs)) to you all...have good evening.

    hi gals...hope all is well. trying to get things picked up a bit here, been a mess lately! appt w/surgeon Jan 13. I was able to get worked in with the Dr I wanted, otherwise it would have been til Feb. we had a regular route bus driver quit yesterday, he was about 73 and a good driver. not sure what happened, but we are short again on drivers, so right now there isn't even a sub for me when I have my appt on 1/13....we have a gal out for carpel tunnel surgery, and 2 of our sub drivers go south in Jan. .....not my problem! anyway, I am tired as I haven't been sleeping very good.

    take care...

    I wanted to say Good Thursday but feeling more like whats good about it. Been bloated, not sleeping, cold and craving sweets like hell. Oh yeah crying to at every little thing. Yeah you guess it after 6 months Aunt Flo decided to come an visit at Christmas no less! AGH!! I am not the cook in the family and because dear mother is not feeling well I said Oh I will cook. I HATE cooking! and not the best when feelin good and now this! again AGHH!!!!! I blame my nurse on this, last week i went for my yearly and she ask when was the last cycle and I said about 6 month and thenshe said (curse) oh yeah I thought I was done and I got my mine after a year went by. SHe just the bearer of good news. She reminds me of when I was in the hospital and got thru the night with barely a scratch and some dumb personn comes by and say oh its quiet tonight huh? That was a sure thing that someone was going to crash.
    Ok so wah,wah, I'll get over it.

    hi everyone...with some of ya on the eating issues...just no control and not really taking care of me like I should be. why is my tummy the first thing to be affected by my poor eating habits? I know if I would eat better, I would feel better. I guess I don't want to feel good right now. went to my dh uncle's and cut his hair today. he must be in his upper 70's.... was glad I could help him out. yep, Aunt Flo gifted me yesterday. Merry Christmas to me :angry: Pretty much ready for xmas at my folks tomorrow. shoulder seems to be worse by the end of the day...the icing and Advil really aren't helping much anymore. ready for this break and hope some of the pain lessens since I won't be driving again til Jan4th. have a nice evening folks. thinkin of you all and wishing much peace and happiness this holiday that lasts thru the New Year....you all mean the world to me! :flowerforyou:
