    Thanks, everyone, for the good wishes for my brother. He is doing better now that they've put in a second chest tube. That sounds like a step backwards, but they have to get all the fluid off so that he can breathe better. All but one rib on the right is broken so better is relative, it's gonna be a while before a deep breath doesn't hurt.

    Green - yes both days
    29/31

    Blue.- yes both days
    29/32

    I rode my new bike to work and back today. I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but I enjoy riding. (Someone stole my bike months.ago and I waited until now to replace it. I was able have a milkshake with dinner and still be 8 calories in the green. I'm going to need more and better for me snacks at work on the days I ride.

    Ack, I've been gone for ages. I have gotten involved with a number of other challenges and I guess I am not dividing my time well on MFP. <sigh> Thanks to my wonderful co-leaders that keep everything going so smoothly. I think now that I have taken a break I'm feeling better about things. Sometimes some time away is what is called for.

    Are we all in for another challenge in June?

    May 28th and May 29th

    Green both Days!
    I have done 22/27 days green this month.

    According to my estimates I will average about 10-20 calories (Chevy Style) for the entire month. This means that keeping track of my total calories for the month really works. If I have some enormous red days, I just don't "forget about them", I need to compensate for that over the long term. This also is positive too. If there is a party or special event, I can "bank" calories ahead and not feel bad about having a 3000-3500 food day because I am in control. It is liberating actually! :drinker:

    What is even better is that I have stopped myself from adding insult to injury on my red days knowing that I have to "earn back" those calories.


    Because of that... there are some lonely donuts and french fries wandering in the wilderness crying uncontrollably.
    :sad:

    green - yes, with 8 calories to spare
    30/31

    blue - yes
    30/31

    My brother is up and walking with help. (one person to help him and one to carry the suction machines attached to the drain tubes). I'm really hoping the tubes come out today. They weren't draining much last night. I slept for over 13 hours - until 9 am. I never do that and it eliminated my trip to the farmer's market, but I must have really needed the sleep. Back to the hospital. Maybe I'll stop at the market on the way home. Sometimes if you go later, you can get better deals because they don't want to take it home. I like to ride my bike down early because it's cooler and there is less traffic.

    Green - Chevy style to end the month.
    31/31

    Blue
    31/31

    Goooooaaaaal!!!!

    One drain tube is out, but the other they had to turn the suction machine back on. He is getting breathing treatments and he put his own oxygen back on when he started having trouble. They left it and turned it up some. I knew that was coming. I watched the nurse do his vitals.and oxygen levels were not good with it on at whatever he turned on to, which wasn't very high flow.

    P.S. on the plus side, my dad is taking all of his medicines as directed now, and looks better than he has in months. He is planning to brother sit when Jimmy gets home so much SIL Peggy can go back to work. Praising God for that small favor in this big mess.
