I have learned you cannot outrun a poor diet!

I am 62 and on no regular meds. My grandma(today would have been her birthday) died at 90yrs old and not on any meds.

Allie - Such a pleasure to pop in and see Miles exploring the jungle... what a sweet picture. 🥰

Heather - Thinking about you tomorrow! 💗

Carol - Thinking about you right now... hope the knee's better.

Cor's on his way home... I'm trying to put my brain back together after a long nap. My mind feels like my starter motor on my old cars when they went out - rrrr, rrrr, rrr click. Turn the key all you want, but nothing starts, and then you kill the battery! 👀😁😳😲. That's what you get when you marry a mechanic - motor metaphors... 😀😂🤣

I'll be OK, a good night's sleep will put me right. Tomorrow starts a week of steroids and two weeks of antibiotics, and then a bunch of blood testing, and we'll see where things stand. Just glad to be home, bra-free, and chilling in my favorite chair.

Later, my dears,

In theory, I agree with you. I would love not to be on so many medications. But I learned a valuable lesson from a friend of mine who was diagnosed with breast cancer, not originally metastatic, who decided to go natural and let her body heal itself. She tried all kinds of homeopathic remedies, diet changes, and she died within three years. She had a 13 year old. I've never quite forgiven her.

So we have to be discerning and make wise decisions for our situation. I am thankful that the drugs I take are available. I live with the side effects. I don't medicate for those. But they are literally keeping me alive at this point.

Heather- Wow! You are busy! Getting so much done! When is your surgery? I have lazy susans above my fridge for my cleaning products and two double decker ones in my pantry cupboard. One for spices, the other for canned soups (easy for DH to make). I love them. The kids call them merry go rounds!

Rori- *cheering* Go Rori! Go Rori! Go Rori! Better out than in, right?
Tracey- Ugh! Three weeks on hold for this position! Agony! Cute pics of Michaela! She has really grown!
Machka- I have ongoing lists, as well. It feels good to cross things off. But, I am waiting for a day when I don't need lists, anymore. lol Not sure if that day is going to come.
Rosemarie- Great news on the crawl space! Nothing like a lot of rain to freak us out!
Allie- I know your brother has his issues; but from your conversations Jean has always seemed like a horrid woman. Anyhow, I hope you can stay out of ALL of it and NOT have a brother to contend with. Thinking of you!
Monique-Awww, the sweet babies! It takes a special person to do your job and it sounds like you are wonderful at it. I hope you receive blessing and kindnesses from those babies families and from the hospital/med center you work for. Hard job, indeed! Hugs to you!

Well, I had a fun day. We left even earlier than we did yesterday. Came home by 7:11am. Came home then did a 15 mile bike ride on the spin bike. The guys working on the outside accidentally cut a wire on one of the outside plugs so kirby tuned off the power while I was on the bike so starve didn’t save the ride but zwift did. So I started over and did the rest of the 15mile ride I was planning on doing. The plan was then go donate blood, then go to the lazy dog restaurant so kirby can get his free sampler and I can get the free tv dinner. I had a mojito made with coconut water (130 cal). We sat outside (they have fans) because I get too cold with the ac. After I had my drink and we were sitting outside. I told Kirby I was feeling lightheaded and I put my head down on the table and apparently I passed out and when I woke up there were 3 reps from the restaurant and they put OJ in front of me to drink. Later I find that I fainted, Kirby called for help. Before I knew it there were like 4 firemen there. I told them I needed to go to the bathroom (to poop). They then sat me inside and I was sweating buckets. My heart rate was low (it usually it, resting hr is 50 usually) . These guys looked like they should have been on a calendar. I told them I felt like I had to throw up, they helped me to the John and there went the mojito. Then the ambulance came, they said my blood pressure was too low and suggested I go to the hospital, I declined and told them I live real close and I would go home and lay down which is what I ended up doing. I wear an Apple Watch and saw my heart rate range was 41-109. My resting heart rate for today was 45.

I usually weigh myself in the morning, then after I’m done with my workout, but I did it one more time after I took a nap and got up again at around 2ish.

Morning- 136.0
After walk and spin- 134.8
After I came home, after nap- 132.6

Pip- Like you, I can't take naps during the day. If I happen to fall asleep midday, I figure I am getting sick. lol I am also an early to bed/early to rise person. Bed by 9pm, up by 5 am. It works best for me.
Debbie- So sorry to hear about the fires, but glad your mom/mom's place is okay!
Ginny- I think you and Kylia get hotter temps where you are than we do in Michigan. I don't know how you stand it. We don't have underground sprinkling so my yard gets parched during the dog days of summer.
Rori- So glad the colonoscopy went well. I always have nightmares that "I did it wrong" and will have to do it all over again.

Barbara- I had to get a breast MRI before. For the same reason as you "dense tissue". It was not as uncomfortable as the mammogram. A little more time consuming as they want to get a lot of images. Mine turned out to be nothing. Just dense tissue (they figured from muscle relaxing; I used to lift/work out a lot and had stopped that year).

It is very pleasant going out that early, the sun isn’t out, sometimes there’s a light breeze. Great time to go, plus we get home early

pip – sure hope you’re better now. Take care of yourself. We need you

Michelle Richard Simons was 76 when he died. Still too young. Keith Richards looks like death warmed over. He also has a chronic health condition.

Flea I have watched a sister and a husband die from cancer. They both went through conventional treatment. It was their choice. I support whatever a person chooses to do. I just more was spent on what is causing so many to get cancer. It is not just us dogs have a 50% chance by the time they are 10. This does not include the diabetics, heart disease, dementia, Parkinson's patients, and autoimmune conditions.

SophieRosieMom · July 26

Pip - what in the world caused you to be suddenly so ill like that? I sure hope it's a one-time thing caused by the heat or something. Michele is right - we need you! And your BOOT!!!

Michele - hope you get the situation with the podiatrist worked out. I think it was Tracey who was wearing the Crocs? Sounds like they are working with a little modification.

Tracey - I know you'll do very well in that interview!

Carol - how's the knee?

Heather - we're with you!

I think Rosie's coats will fit Kitty, I pulled one on her and it wasn't too bad. She's going to need something with the cooler nights. I looked for a cat sweater on Amazon and it made my head swim.

I just started to read "The Women". Wow. My DH never talked much about when he was in Vietnam - only funny things and people he knew. I'm now getting a good idea of the dangers he faced and things he must have seen.

The gutter guy Rusty came out today and gave me a quote on putting the leaf-guard gutter screens on the rest of the house. He just installed them on the west side when I had the new gutters put on last year. I said "let's do it" and he'll be here tomorrow morning. He'll also clean all the house gutters before installing the screens. And clean the shop gutters (no screen). And caulk a little gap by the back door between the siding and door frame where the original caulk fell out. And attach a screen for me up under the house eave to keep starlings from going through a hole and building a nest, something that I've tried to block without much luck. I guess I'm getting the "old lady" perks.

These little home repairs - the screen under the eave and the caulk by the door - will just take him a couple minutes.

I am so grateful.

It's a nice cool evening.

Quite a bit of reading in the night. I ate my bagel at about 1 am.

Feeling a bit nervous,

but reading all about your trials and tribulations takes my mind off things. (Pip! That's exactly what would happen to John under those circumstances. Good job you were sitting down!)
I will soon be getting up and having my last antiseptic shower etc. No food, but I must keep drinking water until 9 am.
Oh well, it concentrates the mind! I quite like a holiday from obligations. Surrender. Just me and my body and my thoughts.
John wants to come with me in the Uber and see me to my room. He can carry stuff.

Then he will come back later in the afternoon when I am compos mentis.

I will let you all know how I'm doing.

Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Tracey: I love the snowman! Do you have an Etsy shop? I hope the interview goes well!

Heather: Best wishes for your surgery and I hope your recovery goes well!

Allie: It is 3am and I am awake. The past 2 nights I slept the entire night and had wonderful, productive days following the sleep. I might venture down stairs to get some Melatonin and do my Calm App to get back to sleep!

I did my 3rd time at a yoga studio. It is expensive but so much fun to be doing yoga with people. They have $5.00 Fridays which I could probably work into my budget!

I have gone back to Get Fit With Rick for a month. He has added new information about nutrition to his program. I printed
out 40 high protein recipes he had. Mostly chicken recipes. I am tired of chicken! I did make shrimp with a frozen stir-fry tonight and a stir fry with tofu yesterday! Rick mixes whey protein in with almond milk and low fat yogurt. I am going to try this. I threw out the peanut butter. I will eat the low fat peanut butter. He recommend intermittent fasting. I think I can do this pretty easily so will give it a go!

I am going to a wedding in MA in September. I had booked an Air BNB which I will keep because the hotel is booked 2 of the 4 nights we will be in that area. But I had to relent and get rooms at the hotel where my mother is staying. My brother isn't coming in until late and with people coming and going I finally bit the bullet and realized I needed to be with my mother, age 93, at the hotel.

I am really so pleased I relaxed this summer and sat on the deck! I don't know what the future holds with care for my mother! I can hardly believe I worked at a cat shelter last summer! It seems unbelievable to me! I have not thought about it much since leaving!

Carol: I hope your recovery is going okay.

Best,
Rosemarie from GA

Mild heart attack? I would have been inclined to go to the hospital. Surprised they didn't insist.

auntiebk · July 26

Today’s gratitude: chat with Joe in the car on the way to pooches’ nail trims. He was unusually talkative, I finally figured out it was because I was driving. Next time when he’s driving and silent, I’ll try to remember he’s concentrating, not giving me the cold shoulder.
Yes, Lisa, you were missed. “honey badger” :laugh: Sorry for the tough days, glad you’re back. Had to google neural fibroma. Did it pain you much?
Flea thanks for your voice of experience. And insights on the meds that keep you alive vs meds for dealing with side effects. ((hugs))
Heather, whooshing you better pain management, swift, complete recovery. Sounds like they are preparing your brother well, hard time ahead, but hopeful of good outcome.
Lanette, “Many days, you ladies in this group are my 5 (plus) people. I consider myself very, very fortunate.

” Ditto and amen, sister, amen! When he’s done at your house could you send Rusty down here?
Annie you sound so much more confident about Dad’s birthday prep. Well done!
Carol NOT what you needed. Hope today’s Ortho appointment shows no serious damage done, and gives better work arounds to avoid future falls. ((hugs))
Likewise Margaret, sorry to hear you were hurting. Proud of you for sticking to your plan and glad the pain has eased. What you said about outrunning a poor diet, truth!
Tracey thanks for the MRI advice ;}

that you felt comfortable and clicked with the interviewing ladies. Would they be working with you?
Allie

sMyles of the jungle. Does Sean have a lawyer to protect his interests in the divorce?
Michele it’s getting scary with specialists “opting out” from Medicare. My oral surgeon made me sign a form acknowledging he wasn’t in the Medicare system and that I couldn’t submit his $$$$ bills to them for reimbursement. Kind of like Heather having to pay $$$$$ for private hip replacement. Sheesh!
Terri your anniversary dinner sounds just right! Googled “honeycomb ice cream” and learned this: “Despite being called honeycomb, it’s not made from any honey at all. It’s made with caramel candy. That all might seem confusing until you realize that ice cream is also made without ice. Your whole life has been a lie.” ROTFLMAO!
Pip how scary! Please reconsider and get checked out.

KJ thanks for sharing your breast MRI experience. Mine has always been dense, but never from lifting/working out a lot ;}
Rosemarie so thankful you love yoga and relaxing on your deck. Very restorative.
Machka yours to pip.
Debbie is your mom’s roommate gone?

Later, lighter, lovelies!

LisaInArkansas · July 26

Dang, Pip - 😲Hope it's just a glitch in the Matrix, and you're back to your usual self with nothing wrong. Maybe call your primary care doctor and get checked over? Passing out without warning is not something you should probably ignore.

Heather - Woke up thinking about you. Hope the surgery's quite successful and your recovery is swift and easy.

Rosemarie - I was up about the same time you were, but 2 a.m. my time. There was this old countertop dishwasher I was trying to hook up in my dream, with hoses leading all over the kitchen, and I was trying to keep the electric cord out of the water, and somebody advising me in my ear that I couldn't do it that way! 😂😲😁 After drifting right back into that same dream fitfully three or four times, I wrenched myself out of the bed. Hope you were able to go back to sleep.

Keeping a good thought for everyone affected by the fires in Canada, California and Oregon. Such devastating damage reports coming out of this year's fire season.

As for me, I've got laundry going, and the house cooling down so I can get into my sewing/craft room. Like Tracey, there's no cool air in that room, so the rest of the house air conditioners have to be on, and then I use fans to work in there. I'm very nearly finished with the quilt, and would love to be done with it today. Then a fingers-crossed first washing through the gentle cycle on cold, and hang it out on the line. Only two years in the making!

So... time to go swap the laundry and get the second load going, and then see if I can't finish up the quilt, or at least give it the old college try!

Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa in AR

ginnytez · July 26

Pip-I have had a similar situation-related to overheating. Very scary. I have really started focusing on hydration and limiting some of the outside time (so 30 minutes walking at one time not two hours). As others are encouraging-getting checked would not hurt.

KJ-yes, Kylia and I are both in southwestern Ohio (3 hours or so to Michigan border). We have always trended hight than Michigan. The past couple of years have been a bit brutal for periods of time. I have good AC!

Heather-hoping today goes smoothly as you join the double hippy club!

Rosemarie-I think opting to stay to help mom is the right call. I am a bit confused-will you only be at the hotel two nights? Will your brother be there to help the two you are at the B&B?

Barbara AHMOD-regarding the drive-isn't it interesting when we can see something from another person's perspective?

Tracey-good luck with interview!

Medicines-I try to take as few as possible.

I have seen impact of overmedication. My only consistent pills are my thyroid meds (since I have no thyroid and it is my basic cancer treatment). I do take vitamins/supplements but mainly to help bones and joints. I get a bone density test early next year. I will reevaluate going back on fosomax at that time (went off for dental implant, don't care for potential long bone fracture side effects since I have hip implants). But ultimately each person must make their own choices.

Health rambling

According to my Apple Watch I got 8.5 hours of sleep last night. All I know is I remember one trip to bathroom around 4 and got up at 5:30. In the last month I have increased sleep average by half an hour-averaging just under 7 hours. Hope this means whatever had messed up my sleep etc, for the past year of so (I am convinced the two bouts of COVID did me in). At docs this week they did tell me they have seen a wide variety of impacts. It fits the timing for my sleep disruptions and foot issues and some of my sudden bloodwork changes. Hopeful that I am heading towards the end of impact. I know I have been very lucky with many things.

Start day with PT at 8:30-work from home after that. I am getting back on track from vacation. Need to contract place that told me they were sending back my deposit-I asked for it in check form since credit card I put it on has been paid.

Hope everyone has a good end to the work week (even if you are retired!).

Take care all,

Ginny in Ohio

Just waiting for the surgeon to come and mark me up, and the anaesthetist. I am hungry! It's now 11.35.

I will probably go down in an hour or so. I hope. I'm still drinking water.
Our Uber driver did not please us. She was on a very loud phone to her family when we got in. We argued with her. John was beginning to cry and I was angry with the way she kept trying to justify herself. Then she tried to give me some holy oil.

I have never had an experience like that, ever! I reported it on the online feedback form.
My room isn't quite as nice as last time and there is more corridor noise, but it's fine.
Just waiting ........

Pip ~ How terrible! I am so glad you are safe and hope you continue to do well. Just don't overdo it in all this heat.

Barbara ~ I'm glad you enjoyed the ride with your husband. Conversation is nice. My husband tends to cuss at all the traffic so sometimes it is not fun to ride with him.

Rosemarie ~ Lanette: You are both really to be admired for all you have accomplished this last year. You have made it a point to find new things to make life without your dear husbands easier. Please keep up all the activities you have started.

I went to the ortho dr and the PA cleaned off the site and put new bandages on. I think I am ready to start healing now. Cannot do PT until after I see them again to make sure the excessive bleeding has stopped. Overall, I think I was trying to do too much right after the operation but that is the stubborn in me. Did rest yesterday...slept 4 hrs in the afternoon and was in be from 8 to 6 last night.

SophieRosieMom · July 26

Heather! Gosh what a ride to the hospital. Hope things proceed quickly.

Rosemarie - I'm also trying to keep up with the protein, and have been starting my day with eggs. I'm supposed to have 2 or 3. I'm to the point I have run out of ideas on how to fix them and they don't seem appetizing anymore. Makes skipping breakfast a few days a week easier these days.

Wasn't it your brother who hinted you could care for your mom? So happy to hear you are enjoying being home on your deck and left the cat rescue.

Barbara - I used to love it when my DH had the opportunity to talk when we were going somewhere. When he drove, he was constantly criticizing other drivers and playing "race cars". Ugh. When I drove, I know it was hard for him to curtail his back-seat driver tendency, but it was much better for both of us.

Margaret - Glad you recovered quickly from your short illness. I get what you were saying about meds. Try correcting diet and behaviors before relying on pills. (Unless there's no other choice as in Flea's case.) My DH was on 7 or 8 by the time he passed, some to alleviate the side effects of the others. I'm certain that contributed to his dementia and rapidly failing health toward the end of his life. Makes me more determined to fix my pre-diabetes with diet and exercise. So far I'm just on a mild BP med.

Ginny - wonderful you are getting increased sleep. Hoping feet continue to be on the mend. Thank goodness it's Friday! Even though I've been retired for nearly 8 years, there's still a part of my internal calendar that recognizes weekends.

Back later -

Lanette
