Hmmm.... maybe now he will stick closer to home... or teach Opal bad habits! At least he is happy when out! You may want to drop of cards to the neighbors explaining that he is a good puppy and to call you?

Are you sure you’re not into some kind of funky drugs there, PAV??? You sound like the happiest post surgery person I’ve ever read a post from 🙂

Call seemed way more of her what’s for supper post but it’s good to mix all these threads up every now and again 😁

I remember how I got started in this thread I was thinking that I should make up a batch of roasted veggies and field greens and greens and fly them out to you, PAV 🙂

Do those Canadian TSA guys at the airport let you fly with food products?!?! Maybe just show up at PAVs house and then shop for groceries.
On this side of the border even my stupid granola bars get inspected. The upside is now that I’m over 75 I can leave my shoes on when being scanned. Being a “sweet” old lady has its perks. 👍

I believe veggies are allowed inside the country but not from outside! But there may be interprovincial restrictions too 🤷‍♂️ pretty sure green goddess soup would be allowed.

However, for an entirely strange reason I am way over snack packed. And I'm talking an additional three boxes to whatever I had acquired on my own!!!!😱🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I mean I even got bandages and a battery operated fan with a candy dispenser, cans of soup, and candied fruits and nuts! And that's only part of one of the three boxes that arrived!😱

Ha!
Wed 26,506 steps, Thursday 7481 Friday 6434! Resting HR 65 --> 66 --> 69

Just under 1800 Cal today and not even peckish! I suspect this will change tomorrow!!!🤣😹

Actually as long as I don't blow my nose, sneeze, cough or, especially, laugh, all is good.

Except for the annoying people who make me laugh just because I got someone to plug the battery charging cord into the power bar that's plugged into the battery! Hey it worked.... for about 5 hours🤷‍♂️

Absolutely loved reading your post, PAV. I’m so glad you’re being taken care of by someone(s) who love and know you. “ a battery operated fan with a candy dispenser” that just about killed me!!!

I’m astonished at the steps you got in these past two days. You are a man in motion. Even when they try to prep you for some kind of stirfry dish!!

First try the image didn’t work so I tried again below

Wise woman making use of her mailbox outside! Yup it’s toasty...



No break or rain predicted until perhaps the end of July.

Yikes Yooly! That's too much! Any chance of getting to the coastal towns for a bit of a soak?

Well we’re going to Houston for a few days next week. But it’s not any cooler on the Gulf coast. Beach sand is unbearable. Warnings have been issued to keep children from getting burns on playground equipment. And dog owners are being warned to keep their pets off concrete or pavement to prevent burned paws.

It’s just summer in Texas - only more so this year. We’ll get through it somehow.

I think his theory is that if he hides his head under the settee that she can't chew on his face. He's very patient with his bratty younger friend, but he has his limits.

I’m with Athijade. I do love a good long thunderstorm with lots of rain.

This sleeping thing is getting boorrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Even fitbit agrees we've gone over 8 hours and that involves WAY more than 10 in bed!!!

I - much like Athijade- developed a roaring kidney infection over the weekend. Painful, uncomfortable and annoying. Saw the nurse practitioner today. Much peeing in the little jar and lots of antibiotics which haven’t kicked in yet. Hoping it’s going to get better quickly because I’ve got a trip to Houston next week. I’m kind of gobsmacked because the last UTI I had was nearly 15 years ago.

Ugh! I am so sorry you are dealing with that as well! They are the worst!

Do you have some AZO? You can get it OTC and I find it helps a lot those first few days.

I am actually no longer on Cipro because I started to have extreme pain in my lower legs. Since a serious side effect of Cipro is tendon rupture, my doctor took me off of it and put me on Macrobid instead. Which sucks because now I have to do another 7 days and I was already like 4 days through the Cipro. But better then having a tendon snap I guess.

We had a severe mental health crisis that was set off by some (expletive deleted) shooting off fireworks, including four of the house-rattling big shells, at irregular intervals from 11pm-1 am on Saturday night, thereby destroying his night's sleep, and then his anxiety spinning up whether or not he could sleep....which always keeps one awake.... soooo three days without sleep and he was not in his right mind. Emergency medication was obtained, and he is now asleep and has been in bed since about 11 am. So we'll see how he does. I'm okay. Doing OMAD because it seems easier and simpler in a lot of ways, and I'm tolerating it well. I let myself do 18/6 if I need lunch AND dinner.
