    Hello everyone, Sorry I missed checking in yesterday, I had cataract surgery on my left eye, so I took the rest of the day off and just rested because I had a headache and couldn't see tablet screen.

    Today, saw my regular eye Dr, After checking my eye for reading glass, Dr said to go to dollar store and buy a cheap pair of glasses, until all the swelling goes down. Because I may or may not need reading glasses after all the swelling goes down. He said to wait and see, instead of spending a lot of money on a pair I'll probably only need for a short time. The cheap eyeglasses help me to be able to see the tablet screen. So Happy that I can see more clearly of things around me, instead of all blurry and foggy. Hopefully, I may not have to wear glasses anymore except to reading glasses. 😅😄

    Starting 12/20/21, I'll be starting water physical therapy, don't know at this time how often per week I'll be going, until the first visit. Have some problems with mobility that is why I'm starting water physical therapy. My primary Dr says it will help me more, than using regular physical therapy. ( Which I have already tried and it didn't help much).

    Things are starting to become more clearer and better then before. Lol 😄

    I bet you will like the water therapy. I do a lot of my physio exercises in the pool.

    Very lazy day today didn't get up until midday. Very tired all day so didn't do much. Did eat a salad for the first time this week so that's something I guess.

    I am excited! You still have decent calories even with the snacking. I hope your back improves drastically by Sunday. Have you tried some back stretches.

    Nice loss! How far until you reach goal? I don’t have an initial starting weight for you. Can you let me know it as we use it to celebrate milestones.

    Steps ✅
    Close Rings ✅

    The pool is closing on Monday for maintenance. Not sure how long it will be closed. During that time I won’t be able to reach my converted step goal as it is based on swimming and pool workouts. I did try doing weights for about 10 minutes yesterday along with the treadmill. My back pain was so bad last night as a result and I couldn’t sleep. I do get my second back injection on Thursday so I am praying that it works. I am having neck pain now and my face goes numb which I am sure is related to the nerve issues in my back. There is so much riding on the injection including my trip to Scotland. Yes, I am whinny and cranky today! 😂 I am off to the pool (have to take advantage the next 2 days) and then grocery shopping. My 9 year old granddaughter is coming for the night so she will keep me busy the rest of the day. Sorry for the long post.

    Have a super Saturday!

    I am worried about my husky Aspen... She whined in her kennel most of the night(I was up at 2am with her all the way until 6am .... she hasn't been eating and she is struggling with going to the bathroom ....I will be calling my vet at 8am to see if we can bring her in.. I am thinking the bladder stones might be stuck ..

    @lindamtuck2018 sorry about the pool maintenance. I hope it doesn't last long. Good luck with the shot. I do stretching, back and body aspirin, heating pad, cream and mobility for the back. It is getting better but not sure if it will be good enough. 2 hour trip each way.

    @Bluetail6 nice weigh in.

    @lindamtuck2018, I used to love swimming and I'm sure that I will enjoy water exercising also. Have to go to a bigger town where there is a physical therapy pool that you're able to walk into.
