    Carol: Sorry about your thumb. Hope it heals quickly. Have you tried arnica gel for bruising?

    Sharon in WA: Thank you for sharing your Allan story.

    Sue in WA: ((hugs)) Think of you often and sending you and DH healing energy.

    Bone broth cooking in IP, then will make the Creamy Zucchini soup from Skinnytaste. Easy and delish!

    Take care and stay warm friends. We can do this.

    Might be related to your keto diet
    This was one woman's response on a keto chat group

    learned early on (hence this thread) that I just wasn’t eating enough. I was still trying to get my head around CICO and doing Keto at the same time. Not good. I upped my calories, while keeping carbs <20g total, and that fixed my being cold issues.

    Hope that helps. Your body is going through a major adjustment switching to this diet. More water and rest would also help.

    Watched Roma last night. I highly recommend it. Subtitles are well done. The acting, directing, and story telling is top notch. There is a scene with male frontal nudity, but it is non sexual/non erotic and not gratuitous, I guess that's why it still had an R.

    A beautiful story, that I have been reflecting on all day. I will definitely watch it again.

    Anyone else seen it?

    Machka: Is there an alternative medical care option for your DH that would allow you to ditch the stupid woman you’ve been dealing with? Can you ask for him to be transferred to another person in the group? You need to be respected and treated appropriately. :grumble: Happy Australia Day! :bigsmile:

    Machka Aaaaugh. The back-to-work coordinator is just so premature. Surprised she's even involved with no back to work date yet set by your husband's MD. Can the MD tell her "don't call us, we'll call you!"?

    My husband's doctor is still the neurological rehab specialist. And that was an issue for the back-to-work coordinator. "Why is he still seeing a specialist? Why isn't he going to his GP?"

    Unfortunately, her organisation is employed by the insurance agency (Worker's Comp), so I don't have much say in it. When he came home in July, a person from her organisation was assigned to my husband, and he seemed good. He seemed to understand what was going on, and we heard from him about once a month to check in on how things were going. He organised my husband's carers etc. which was fine. Then this other girl took over in October and it hasn't gone well from the beginning. She has been pushing hard to get my husband back to work and doesn't seem to understand his injury at all. And of course it is in their best interest to get him back to work as soon as possible.

    I'm trying to give her the information she needs and to work with her ... but every time we make a bit of progress, she seems to go back to "what I usually do is ... "

    I'm even trying to look at it as a "working with people" learning experience!!

    Feeling a bit puny today: blood sugars a bit low, but worse is this vertigo. Almost fell in the shower bending over to rinse out my hair. It makes me tired to be so nauseous and dizzy.

    Later, ladies,
    Kathy in KY

    Have you been to this website? And have you seen a physiotherapist who specialises in vestibular disorder?

    Did Amy Dixon’s Give me 10 DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do 10 Minute Solution Slim and Sculpt Pilates DVD.

    Katla – I’m the emotional person, I’m the person who would respond “are you sure you even want me?” (Newcomers). Many times I just need someone to bring me back to earth and tell me that I’m being emotional. Plus…he’s worked his entire career in IT. So he kind-of knows what he’s talking about. I do care about the members. But I won’t continue to be treated the way I am, I get too hurt. I’ve spent too many nights being upset

    Right now I have a ginger maple cake in the oven for the gal who works at the Y and lets me come in for free. Her birthday is while I’ll be in FL. I think I’ll need to make some icing to go on it. Oh…I should have thought to put these things around the cake pans so that the cake doesn’t rise a lot in the center. Well…too late now. I’ll just put extra frosting on it….lol

    Sharon – Lisa couldn’t have said it better about Allen than I could. See, I’m not great with words. But I know that my heart is in the right place.

    M – happy Australia Day! I didn’t know it was today! Actually, I didn’t even know that there WAS an Australia Day. Thanks for enlightening me.

    Kelly – you never cease to amaze me with all the inventive things you do for the kids.

    Iced the cake. I probably should have put more water in the icing when I made it. Oh well…. Still tastes good

    Barbara – I don’t know how limeade will be in those pops. Like I said, I tried apple, grape, and you just don’t get much of an apple flavor. Let me know how they turn out. You might be able to add a little bit of the True Lime crystals to it to give it more of a lime flavor.

    I have a question for you all: Denise just called and asked if I would make the shower favors. Of course I said I would. Now, she wants them to have a nautical theme. I looked online at the place where she’s having it and to me it looks more like a place where you would have a wedding reception. Then again, most places will put their best foot forward. Anyway, does anyone have any ideas (I’m looked at you Kelly!) for games or favors? I’m going to FL so I think I can get some shells and we can have a “guess how many shells are in the baby bottle” I wonder how long it would take for custom M&M’s to be sent here. I hate having a package just sitting out. Then again, maybe I can have it sent to a neighbor.

    Kathy in KY – happy birthday to your son. I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Hope the vertigo goes away real fast

    M in Oz: I saw that website, thanks. This is not my first go-around with vertigo, and that time it lasted 5 months. A physical therapist friend was my best help, nothing else worked. I happen to be on one of the recommended medications because of my Mast Cell problem, it’s not working but it didn’t work the last time either!

    Lanette "I much appreciate this group and you all sharing your insights in dealing with DH's or family members whose time on this earth might be limited. Sometimes I dip into gloom for a few minutes seeing my DH's health deteriorating over time, then snap out of it when I consider there are a lot of options. And it's all one day at a time." Ditto the appreciation. And thanks for the "it's all one day at a time" reminder, true for us all. "chomping at the bit to go work in the garden" same here. False Spring brought us 65 F temps at 06:00 Friday. Have to keep reminding myself it's still winter so I can weed but not plant...
    Tracey rec center scheduling job with benefits and within walking distance sounds ideal. Tailoring your resume is just the ticket. Go for it! Yay YOU!
    LIsa 11 days to a new knee? Now that's a good shock!
    Heather hygienist is not covered by National Health but fillings are? Seems backwards to me...
    Sharon Your Allan was a sweetheart indeed. Loved hearing about all your kids, grands and unofficial fosters.
    Rita got rid of cholesterol meds while on keto? Wowser!
    Machka Smiled REAL big when I read "My husband and I went for a nice 32 km bicycle ride today ... " Reframing your interaction with the back to work coordinator as a "working with people" learning experience-Brava! Was it you who posted this link? https://chopra.com/articles/7-steps-for-dealing-with-difficult-people
    KJ Likewise smiled REAL big at the painting pics. You are a treasure! Oh how what Julian said pierces the heart. Our pastor tells the story of how a teacher noticed one of her students was "off" not responding appropriately, etc. When she asked him what he had for breakfast, he replied "it wasn't my turn to eat." That teacher started the snack pack program that sends packs of food home with kids for the weekend and during the summer. :cry:
    Margaret hoping the shoes help the hip. Good shoes are the foundation.
    Kathy in KY vertigo in the shower? Yikes! 5 months? Urg.
    Carol Oww. ditto Rori's Arnica suggestion... also alternating heat and ice to flush out the bruising.
    Betsy and others, any hints on how to approach Joe with those end of life conversations? So far he's been resistant and I've failed to press.
    Michele great idea about adding True Lime to the pops, just happen to have a ton of it!

    Lighter, lovelies!
