@ConfidentRaven yes I’m sure part of it is boredom! I also tend to be busier in the mornings and then by the time afternoon rolls around I’m either tired or starving or both. I’m trying to get better about carrying water or tea with me to at least have something in my stomach before I start eating everything in sight. Birthdays are hard! Way to get back on track today!
Today my struggle is avoiding the chocolate chip cookies my daughter made last night. They are my favorite! I told her to hide them from me but she didn’t do a very good job.1 -

@melissafeagins That does sound like a lot of work. I chuckled when you said a "small" community hospital. One of the hospitals I work in is a Critical Access Hospital and we have 25 beds. I would consider that small.
If we can get away with 25 beds, that would be manageable. However, the state wants us to have psych beds too. As you know, it's often not good to have psych patients in medical beds. I am thinking 50 is the max number, including psych beds and possibly a couple of prison beds because there are state and federal prisons in that county.
On the plus side, there is a hospital building there that's been closed for 6 years. We have maintained the helipad because we use it. It closed because the local docs did not want to cover call. We have 21 hospitals and over 800 providers so we can provide call coverage, especially with our residents program.
A second plus is that we can provide specialist consults via telemedicne and offer specialty clinics vs on rotation so that we don't have to open new specialty clinics nearby. We have oncology, cardio, and ortho on board for the specialty clinics in rotation. They don't want to drive there every day, but would go say once every two weeks without complaining.

HELLO WARRIORS!
I am Steve ( aka Steplaj ) and in addition to being the group owner and a moderator, I am also one of your team captains... Most of you already know me, but for those that do not, I will give you a brief description...
I am 53y old and live in South Central Massachusetts. I am married ( for 29 years ) and have a fantastic 13y old son who is my world. I am currently working for the lab at a level-1 trauma center here in Mass., but have been a Paramedic for the better part of 30 years and was a former part-time Police Officer for a town here in MA. This being said, my career has been hard and taken its toll on my bones and joints.
I am currently (roughly) 295 pounds. My fitness plan is mostly calorie counting and reduced sodium/sugar - increased protein. I have gotten my weight down to about 255 at one point, but like so many of us, a few career changes, a bit of stress, and the yo-yo reversed and I climbed back up. My heaviest was at about 320.
I was the original team captain of Workout Warriors along with Casey ( @quiarga ) and later Greg. I pulled back when I became the group owner because being owner, I felt I am kind of on every team - but my heart is still a Warrior and so I have remained on our team, but backed away as captain making way to Beka3695. She is now moving on to a new team and so I wanted to reconnect with all of you and so I told Greg I would step up again and reclaim my title as a Team Captain of Workout Warriors.
I will tell you more later, but I will add before I say goodnight - like Greg, I love German Shepherds. I recently got a new pup (which many of you have seen) and she is learning to be my Truck Mate and Inspiration.
With Becky now leading a new team (and a few ringers on that team from ours), we are going to have to work extra hard to stay on top. Let's keep the communication flowing, chat often, work hard together, and help each other out - this being done, I know we will continue to be the team to beat...
on a final note: GO PATS!
SOON TO BE SIX!
Can't wait to get this month going - GO WARRIORS!
Pup pup is gorgeous. I lost my buddy two weeks ago today. He was so wonderful. And I very much miss him. It’s a very hard thing to go through. ❤️

Steps for feb 6: 6974
Spent the day driving through an ice storm to get to the hospital for my 3 year old’s arthritis injection. Lots of time in the hospital then home to a very bad phone call that did me in so I went to sleep around 7:30. Not so great for steps.5 -
OKAY OKAY LET ME SETTLE
THIS YES I AM GOING TO HAVE SURGERY IT'S NOT A RUMOR. I HAVE A SEVERE BLOCKAGE IN ALL ALL OF MY SINUSES. AS RIGHT NOW DOC MASTERS IS GOING TO SEE ME BI WEEKLY TO MONITOR THE SITUATION SO IT DOESN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN IT'S ALREADY IS.
MY HEAD HURTS LIKE IT'S IN A VICE, MY JAW AND TEETH HURT LIKE I HAVE HAD THE CRAP BEAT OUT THEM BY GEORGE FOREMAN. MY EYES ARE BLURRY AND UN FOCUSED....ALL THAT BEING SAID I AM STILL HANGIN WITH THE BEST OF YOU.
I AM A WARRIOR I AM A FIGHTER I WILL BEAT THIS AS I DID TO ALL OF THE OTHER CRAP MY BODY HAS ENDURE. SURGERY WILL BE SOMETIME LATE MARCH EARLY APRIL. IT WILL BE A 4-5 HR SURGERY GIVEN WHAT THEY SEE ON
THE MRI AND CAT SCAN. I WILL SPEND AT LEAST 2 NIGHTS IN THE HOSPITAL SO THEY CAN MONITOR MY OXYGENATION AS I WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE MY CPAP WITH ME.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE MESSAGED ME SORRY FOR THE UNTIMELY NOTICED, BUT I WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL I KNEW WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT MARCIE AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.
