Again, thanks for positive thoughts for my sister. It's very encouraging to hear of people who have had good results after the same injury. If anyone knows of bad outcomes, thanks for not telling me about them.
She's still waiting for surgery, unfortunately. I don't know what's going on. They seemed pretty sure it was going to happen today, but everyone is very vague about it. (For US people - this is the price you pay for socialised health care! Yes, you don't pay for the surgery, but on the other hand, you have to be patient.) (A patient patient).
Anyway, I saw her earlier and took her some stuff so she could shave her legs and dry shampoo her hair because a girl likes to look respectable before having surgery. I also ran around and picked up the after-surgery equipment she needs - this is stuff like a massage-table type bed arrangement and a chair that enables you to sit up while keeping the face tilted downwards. I hope that will help.

I have been wondering. Thanks for the update. Sorry everyone is still in limbo and what a great sister you are to do that stuff for her0 -
Guess I should shave my legs. My dear son jas leaning up against my leg and turned around and rubbed it and informed me that it felt like spikes.0

Make sure you score them separately and set a goal for yourself!! Make it fun.
Oh, I like that idea. I may do that tomorrow!0 -

I hate that I can't post regularly anymore because my ability to use my laptop is limited and my tab stinks for typing. And I hate that we might not get to drive to Bahrain to watch Inside Out at the theater because I can't sit for 3+ hours. And I hate... everything. Just everything.
*pitiful whine over*
Awww I am sorry. It won't last long, you are already doing better!0 -

I have eaten loads this afternoon and a bit over target, but not overly worried, due to yesterday's burn.
Have so much to do tomorrow - including making jelly lego, animal biscuits, dinosaur jellies and a train cake for Charlie's birthday. Goodbye calories!
Happy Birthday Charlie!!!!Take lots of pics of your goodies!! I am also gifted at making messes.
What is jelly logo? And I am a disaster when I am home. I basically just drop things everywhere. Then wonder why I can never find anything... Sigh. Have a great time with Charlie! Definitely post lots of pics!0 -

Nice. Bonus points if they're the ones with Marshmallows.
I have ate like crap the past three days & have an ear infection. Dinner tonight included a tortilla with MaraNatha Caramel Almond spread & four cups of Post Ice Cream Pebbles.
Feel better soon! I hate ear infections. Ouch...
Thanks. Luckily I am on amoxicillin, but still can't hear that well out of my right ear.
The worst earache/ear infection I ever had when I was around 16-17 years old. I remember it hurt so bad that I was crying & my mom had to drive me to the ER. I am pretty sure my ear infection last year was the same ear.
This happened to me. And three increasingly stronger courses of antibiotics wouldn't kill it off--I had the thing for THREE MONTHS. Boy, did it kill me. It was a fungal infection (which is why the antibiotics weren't working, according to the ENT specialist that saw me after all the antibiotics), which went on to develop a secondary bacterial infection, which then had to be treated with MORE antibiotics.
Ugh! I cannot imagine having an ear infection for three months. Was it in both ears or just one?
Just one. I'm sadly prone to ear infections, and have been since I was little--I have visible scarring in one ear (and probably now have it in the other as well, which is the most recently infected one) due to severe infections from when I was younger. The ENT showed it to me on a camera stuck in my ear. I also saw the fungus--that was kind of gross. 
That would be gross.0 -

I've been at it 4 weeks and I'm really enjoying it. I've found a good trainer, who makes me do reps of 24x20x20x20 and increases the weights on each set. I'm quite proud of what I've achieved so far, but my arms/shoulders definitely need more work!
I was in the gym for 4 hours yesterday (unintentionally). I went to have a run, then chill out before circuit class, but my trainer grabbed me during my run and said we were going to do arms (didn't have a session booked), so went straight from running, to weights, to a circuit class and finished off with aqua aerobics (ok i treat that as a stretch and relax session). But today I am hungry!! I have already eaten my measly lunch. There is torrential rain stopping me heading out for something else (i'm thinking chicken) to eat.
Sounds like that's all of us here! Congratulations on finding a trainer you like and we can all get stronger together!!
I'm tempted to search the thread for @BZAH10 's epic shoulder workout. I am seriously considering buying some small dumbbells for my seaside house.
Message her! She is usually quite responsive (I have checked in with her a few times... too bad she won't come back as we are too overwhelming with the posting again.0 -

That is super cool!!!
He hired Loverboy to play for our 25th reunion.
OMG (again) I was a huge Loverboy fan when I was teenager..off to download some now
Ditto! What does this guy do that he is a billionaire!? Is he single? Can I come? I saw Loverboy in high school. My 2nd concert ever. .
He owns the largest Corporate Tax company in the country, no, no - only classmates and spouses (and hubby wants to go with me) and cool! LOL.
Ewww a tax company. Just as well he is married. Not my cup of tea... Well have fun!0 -
I think I'm just stressed because I did counseling for a while as a teen and it never helped. I actually hated it. I'm just so nervous that this isn't going to make a difference. I need to think positive though. I know that.
I just want to say, you all are super great of course. I'm so glad that I have you guys to help calm my nerves.
I know I am late but I hope it went well!0 -
I'm addicted to seasoned french fries.

Oh, just got off the phone with my doctor's office, my thyroid levels are normal! Yay! (Both my parents have thyroid issues so I may or may not have wanted that checked out.)
Glad to hear about the positive thyroid report, and I would take the weight loss and be grateful for it, who cares if the medicine is 'helping' just keep trying to eat healthy so you learn good habits while having a loss of appetite!0 -

Ouch. That's just scary.I have a stupid confession for today and then, I will be MIA because of work stuff.
Monday night I went to take my vitamins before bed. The L-Lysine I take is a huge pill and I have a hard time swallowing it every time. Mr. Mo suggested cutting it in half so it wouldn't be nearly as big. HUGE MISTAKE. I cut the pill in half and it got lodged in my throat. So much so, that he had to give me the Heimlich maneuver. I was freaking out because I thought, "Yep, this is how I'm going to die, having choked on a stupid supplement." Rachael was crying because I was heaving in the kitchen while Mr. Mo was doing all he could to Heimlich that pill up. No go. I'm not sure if it eventually dissolved or what, but the dang thing did a number on my throat and now, I think my esophagus is scratched or something because it is really sore.
I was really nervous to take it again last night but I did, and I didn't choke. I'm too cheap to not finish the bottle and go buy different ones.
Why do supplements/vitamins have to be so big?!
Yeah, vitamins can be pretty ridiculous. The Trader Joe's Women's Formula vitamins are listed as three per day and each pill is almost as large as the one a day I usually take.
Silly confession: I don't have a problem with pills because I swallowed a ton of LIte-Bright pieces and Legos as a kid.
A Lite-Brite peg I can see but how the heck did you swallow a Lego and then do it again?!
Wait! How did I miss Legos? I only saw Lite-Bright!! You were a little dare devil!
The only thing I remember swallowing when I was younger was a dime or a penny. My uncle had given me the change & later I had went up to my mom & told her I ate money.
Ouch!
This did remind me of a story though. Has anyone ever gotten anything stuck up their nose? When I was a kid I remember getting a crayon stuck in my nose (in my sinus area) and my mom freaked out. We were finally able to get it out but I must have been a dumb/weird kid. Who sticks crayons up their noses?
I stuck a fruit snack up my nose when I was about 3
My mom was panicked and took me to her sister (who's a nurse) who calmly got a tissue and told me to blow lol.
I've gotten a fly stuck up my nose. Except that I didn't put it there--it flew right in all by itself. (Which was both disgusting and shocking, as you can imagine.) I had to blow it out, too. Ew.
Ew is right. I haven't gotten one up my nose, but I have ended up eating a mosquito after it flew into my mouth when I was on my bike. It was too far back to properly spit out, but I tried.
I have eaten various bugs both riding and biking. It is gross.0 -
Thanks all. I've been texting her this morning and no news on a surgery time - although it will almost certainly be today. Time is the essence, it seems. She's more stressed about the fact that she was having a down day yesterday, and didn't shower before she went out! I'm going to see if I can see her in a little bit and will take some nice sprays etc.
I hope its all done and she is recovering well. Thank goodness she went to the doctor.0 -

You crack me up! Please set @pofoster21 up with this guy only if he is single and a good dude!
Hey what can I say. I'm an opportunist. Billionaires don't grow on trees you know. Gotta make hay while the sun shines...
Hmmm... wonder if there are some more cliches I can throw in that one paragraph.
This, right here, is why I like you so much!
Ha! Because I am an opportunist or because I use too many cliches?
And I like you a whole bunch too!!0 -

Nice! You guys will be able to workout at your own pace, whenever you want, & not have to worry about jerks who hog equipment/throw it around/or get in your way while you're lifting.
That sounds like a weight lifting heaven
It really does. We'll just have to make sure to put up plenty of mirrors.

But the squat rack will give you better "bang for your buck" than the Smith machine. You use more stabilizing muscles when squatting in the squat rack (read 'stronger core' here, and who doesn't want that?).
Well, Miss Judgy Pants, there is only 1 squat rack in my gym and it was being used last night. I actually prefer the rack over the machine anyway, because I DO feel like I'm doing more of the work, instead of the machine.
I will wait for the squat rack, and even ask the user when they are going to be done. Get out of my squat rack!!!
What do you do while you're waiting?
