Pip that is what DH had to be on to get rid of his clots. His had gotten into his lungs before they discovered them. DH became so short of breath he could not walk across the room without getting out of breath. This was a man the week before would run a half hour to an hour everyday. Glad they found them in Kirby before it got worse. Now DH is on a pill twice a day. We are waiting to find out when they will do surgery for his kidney cancer. DH had to do the shots for about a week. That is the one the prescription was not clear. The strength was off, so ask questions if you have to have it filled once Kirby is home.

Margaret

the doc and us don't think the shots will b a permanent or long term thing. may end up doing oral pills and even that, not for long

Electric blankets vs electric mattress toppers - I used to work for an energy assistance program and I remember hearing that mattress toppers are better for the elderly than electric blankets. Unfortunately I don't remember why. I did read that one of the problems with electric blankets is that one person might feel too warm and through the blanket off leaving the other person with 2 layers of blanket on them.The nice thing about a mattress topper is it stays flat and in place.

Pip I looked up information on switching an administrator on a GoFundMe account and it has to be done by the person who set it up and the GoFundMe people by email. Whoever started it can either change you to the administrator or set you up to access the funds. I hope this helps. If you haven't done so just Google GoFundMe help.



Thanks again to all of you for your friendship and energy

thanks, we are on it.. the banking info was switched to my bank, so all she hast to do is switch the email addr to mine, when she started up the acct she was supposed to use my email addr not hers, that was her booboo. she didn't know my email addr and she had done that as a surprise anyway...

DJ, Sending prayers and hugs your way. So sorry for your loss. Phyl in Cincy

It is with much sadness that I tell you that my Max passed away last night. When we went to see him at the emergency vet yesterday he was doing well and we expected to pick him up this morning to bring him home. He started having seizures last night that they couldn't control and passed away. He was such a sweet dog and will be missed terribly. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.
RIP

I love you ladies,

I increased my weights today. It was a little difficult. I will need to stay here at these weights until I get my form perfect.

Squat- 5X 65\75\85\95\105, 5X 5X115
Sumo squat- 5X5X 100
BP- 5X 65/70/75, 5X5X 80
BR- 5X5X 85

I am still painting. I have trim boards a hallway and the kitchen left to do. Three coats of paint. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to put the trim back up. Then I will start tearing up the wood floor.

Have a great day everyone!

Penny not at the North Pole: I've never had my computer try to convert my words to a different language. It must be very frustrating. Have a good time teaching and a safe trip home. :flowerforyou:

Rori's DH is in my thoughts this morning. He's having his procedure to remove the melanoma. I hope it goes well. I'm looking forward to yoga in a half hour. We have damp weather this morning which makes me grateful for indoor exercise. I'm not as tough as Barbie about being out in the cold and wet. It isn't actually raining this moment, but there is standing water on our deck. Time to get moving.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison

November Goals :
1. Log every bite and swallow.
2. Cardio exercise at least 3 days a week. Work on flexibility and back strength.
3. Have fun every day.
4. Drink at least three glasses of water daily, preferably more!
5. Eliminate alcohol.
6. Monitor sleep. Try to average 7 or more hours of sleep nightly.

DJ - I'm so sad to see that Max passed away. May all of your wonderful memories of him help sustain you through this sad time.

Any recommendations on scale? Mine drives me nuts...it keeps fluctuating and if step on it 3 times I get 3 different numbers.

Kimses in MA

Try changing the battery if it is electronic. [/quote]

Cracked me up this is so me, getting on the scale three times. My suggestion DO NOT weigh more than once a week. Weigh approximately the same time each day. Don't obsess with the scale, watch for other successes too such as clothes feeling looser, easier to move and walk, etc. Don't step on the scale three times in a row, once and put it away LOL

We've all been there,

DJ: so sorry for your sadness, they are pure love. Hugs n prayers. Gayle Minneapolis
