Before and After to date. Old kitchen drawers didn't always close right, and the cabinet doors had many issues. Cheap particle board that had been resurfaced with Melamine.

Good Morning Dave, I hope your neck loosens quickly. Lee, to clarify: We are moving to Oregon in a few months, God willing. Housing at this price range is very limited in our area. We have a top ranked school system. Young families tend to move over here to get their kids into the schools system, but can't afford to pay…

Good Morning I too am admiring the upgrade on the workbench. Cool drizzly day here. I am not going anywhere so it doesn't really matter what is happening out there. Heather's twin sister is in town so they could attend a scrapbook/craft expo together at the fairgrounds. Heather had her stay at a local hotel instead of here…

Good Morning I had a nice time out having lunch with Heather. Our drive was cut short when we ran into some road closures in the canyon, There are still road closures around here from mud slides etc. I had a rough night. I pushed through my PT but came out the other end in rough shape. I woke quite early with pain and was…

Good Morning Steve, I am sorry to hear the company isn't doing well. I thought business ramped up during Covid. I hope you find a path forward for you. I have a follow-up with the Pain Drs office on the epidural which has done good things. I have been good about not letting the knee cause me to do stupid things with my…

Good Afternoon I am happy to hear Rita's results! Thanks for sharing the photos of the initial turning of the bowls. I was up at 2:30 due to my back. Not sure why. Rested in the recliner but no sleep. Did MP at 8:00 and was out the door to get pre-op blood draw. I came home, picked up Heather, and took her to work early…

Good Morning Heather and I were going to take dance lessons years ago but did not since it was too hard to arrange with our schedules (mostly mine). Perhaps once we resettle and I am more functional I will find some and surprise her. I can't dance. Rythym is a mystery to me. Might explain my limited success on the hammered…

Good Morning Sam, the left eye vision going wonky would be a bit unnerving for me. I hope they find an answer. After two active days, I did a lot of rest yesterday, though I did do 2 sessions of my pre-surgery exercises. The range of motion stuff is more than unpleasant. My dulcimer is now downstairs so I will try to get…

Good Morning Congrats Dave on scoring the single While not an expert on modern marshmallows, many include some gelatin which is an animal by product. I had a good day on my outings including a solo journey with my trusty walker to IKEA and back to make the final fixes to our kitchen plan. Lots of rest breaks along the way.…

Good Morning Physical therapy is a tough road if you don't believe it is helping or you don't trust your therapist. But a good one can accomplish much. Steve, the knee thing is pushing everything back 3 months including Heather's retirement. Lots of additional appointments were scheduled yesterday and one more to go I am…

Good Morning I am sorry you can't make it to your Dad's funeral Lee and for the short notice. I hope you are able to get down there at some point when things have improved a bit more. I can't claim I understood too much of the stool project but I look forward to the pictures. Back went south on me again yesterday afternoon…

Good Morning That is a tough situation Steve. Back in my working days it usually came down to who in management had a strong relationship with them. I doubt this can work out until the owner meets with them and tells them he needs their support and leadership in making some changes so the company can continue to grow.…

Whoops

How did you pick WW and/or MFP.? Are you a devotee of either program? I am currently back at weekly meetings at WW trying to follow FreeStyle which I don't like a lot but it is better than Smart Points which it is an enhancement of. I went back at the recommendation of a Nurse Practioner I check in with monthly who noted…

Good Morning!

Good Morning! Steve, do some breathing exercises. They are amazingly effective in helping resetting ones emotions. Mindfulness is quite the rage right now and I use it for pain control and now it just kicks in when I get worked up so emotions don't control things quite so much. After a while as little as 3 breathes can…

Good Morning! Welcome back Mike! I am sorry to hear that another sleep study is required, but hopefully, you will get the machine you need to move on. Lee, I hope they get some test results that help explain your symptoms, the sudden onset, etc. I am glad you are doing better, but it would be nice to get it sorted out. I…

I don't think there was anything magic beyond the WW basics of daily tracking, weighing & measuring and portion control. Combine that with intentionally focusing on living a sustainable healthy lifestyle seem to lead to success.

Good Morning

Good Morning! Good meeting with Neurosurgeon yesterday. It is good to get another voice on how to handle things, especially since I don't see my Pain Dr too often (modern medicine). He agree's the priorities of getting the weight off and rebuilding overall core strength & flexibility over this next year could greatly…

I agree with Brian. I think you have to mindful, take a breath and let today be today. In most cases, it is usually something else going on. Lately, I have been trying to remind myself why I am doing this and what my good health dream is.

Can't run or hike anymore due to back and knee issues. Trying to restart walking without aggravating the knee while I await injections. Tried using my old trekking poles which help. I am also doing mat work to develop a stronger back and core.

Hi Cindy! I hope your toes are keeping sandy

Good Morning!

Good Morning! First I notice yesterday's post was missing, which seems to happen every so often. Then I discover I am no longer part of the group and had to join anew. Thankfully, I can't take a hint. Lee, glad to hear your knee is less troublesome. Hopefully, they will get to the root cause soon now. Steve, glad things…
