Machka- for what it's worth, I've been following Dr. David Hanscom for quite a while. He's a spinal surgeon in Seattle who discovered most folks can effectively treat back pain effectively without surgery. Some of his ideas on healing include writing down thoughts every day then ripping them up. Expressive writing. Bad…

Anna in Michigan - Good job standing firm! For me, measurements are a better indicator than that fickle scale that for me just tracks bathroom habits. :p After years of stepping on Weight Watcher's scale, it was hard to give up. So I established a 5# range and no longer get focused on the daily ups and downs. Seems like…

MFP Weekly Check-in April 1, 2024 Ava – weigh in 3.29.24 - This hasn’t been the stellar week for counting calories or getting my 80 oz water daily. But I have been consistently moving. 8000+ steps, Friday weight in 160.9. A loss of .8 lbs. Debbie in Napa Valley, CA - no walking the wetlands this week because I had…

Happy April 1st! Debbie - I would have loved to jump in the teleporter and head down your way for that delicious meal. I would have grabbed a few of us on the way and we would have cleaned it right up, nothing left for your DH even if he would have wanted anything. :p Question that's none of my business, please don't feel…

Barbie - thank you for keeping us going. April already! Margaret - thank you for sharing about your husband's funeral and your son's mental illness. Lots of good food for thought there. I admire your wisdom and strength. Lisa - just think, in a few days that ultrasound will be over and you'll be back home safe and sound…

Reminder to those of you ladies who have something for the Weekly Check-in, please send it to me by noon tomorrow. Thanks! Lanette B) Sunny SW WA State

Annie - so very sorry to hear of the sudden complications with your dad. Thankful he can still get around but worrisome for you. Good to hear you have a reunion planned later in the year, crossing fingers the stars line up and you can make it. You deserve it. <3 Hope you can catch up on sleep today. Heather - glad to hear…
-
April- Sorry to hear about your son's setbacks, sounds like the docs and hospital are on top of it. Praying for his continued recovery. And hope your dad is responding well to his antibiotics. Regarding shin splints - the ortho doc I went to a few weeks ago said calf raises help deter shin splints, perhaps they are part of…

Barbara - Bikman et al - Your blood values are outstanding - I'm guessing with a FBS of 83, your doc feels no need to run an A1C. Dr. Lisa only started adding them to my labs at my request several years ago. Windows 11 - Lanette B) SW WA State

Ava- Got it, thank you! Lanette
-
Rita - take good care. <3 Glad you understand what is happening and you are searching for ways to resolve it. And very happy your DH is being attentive. Hugs and prayers you get over this soon, glad you have a doc appointment next week. Lanette B) SW WA State

Pip - sounds like your mom waited for you to get there. My sympathies to you and the rest of her family. (((Hugs all around.))) Michele - also sorry to hear about Loki, you and Vince did a good job of extending his 9 lives as long as you could. Glad to hear your eyes are doing better and Dr. Scholl seems to be helping your…
-
Allie - hugs to Tracy and the whole family. Prayers. As Margaret and Beth just mentioned, a missing limb isn't the end of the world, and children born with physical deformities usually thrive just fine. Annie- sounds like you consider your smoothie part of your meal. Maybe divide it in half so you can sip while cooking…

Pip - What's up with your mom? Lanette

Add me to the list of going a second night with bad sleep. :( It's going to be rainy today so hope to get in a good nap or two. Barbara - welcome back - we've been busy. :p Happy to know you are recovering well. Heather - glad the birthday celebration went well. That cheesecake looks scrumptious. Is the remodel totally…
-
Rita - your DH's reaction (or lack thereof) to your anxiety attack is understandable considering what all was going on. If it happens again, he'll certainly be tuned in and not worry about the campers and their problems. I agree with the others, wine in this case is certainly medicinal. Glad it helped you. Debbie - Happy…
-
Heather - good good news about your hip operations, cancelling the upcoming cruise, etc. So glad it's all working out and that you have the funds to have it handled privately and not have to wait a year or more. I know you'll do fine with any post-op OT and exercises. Sounds like Easter is handled. :p Ginny - did you have…
-
Ava - my apologies! I did get your email, it didn't click that it was for today's thread. I'm used to looking for them on Sunday and Monday mornings. Let's try again for next Monday - send me your info any time this week and I'll grab it for next Monday's thread. :p Lanette

MFP Weekly Check-in March 25, 2024 Debbie in Napa Valley, CA - LOTS of walking this week(just over 18,000 steps one day, over 15,000 two or three days) Weight down slightly at 153.2 Kylia in Ohio - Good Morning! My scale said down a pound on Saturday! I was super excited when it still said -1 this morning! I am excited as…
-
Morning ladies, Ginny - hope the basement guy plans to follow state and/or federal guidelines. I agree with the others, seems like not removing asbestos is what they are advising in most cases. Something not right with these guys. I'm back to house walking again, at a decent pace this time and no zipping in and out of…
-
Lisa - excellent job on your A1C. When you and Corey bought your place, did you have plans for it to be set up well for aging in place, or has that just evolved through the years? It really does sound perfect with (or even without) the few tweaks you mentioned. Tracey - you are so organized, I love your craft room. I…
-
Machka - good job putting your list together. If you can picture it, let's say "build" it in your head, you'll find what you are looking for like in "Field of Dreams." At least that's the way it's always worked for me. Debbie - yes, spring has suddenly sprung here too. I noticed yesterday the crocosmia sprouted up about 6"…
-
Good morning ladies, Machka - I'm so glad you found a dentist so quickly, hope all goes well. I remember when your DH had his accident, your life and struggles at the time. You became an expert on brain injury. The extent of his recovery has almost been miraculous. I hope he continues to be active and engaging for many,…

Good morning ladies! I'm back on earth today. Got a solid 8 hours of sleep last night plus a nap after supper, lol. I'm staying put. The house was cute, nice smaller size, very well kept except it will need a new roof. There were many things about the property that wouldn't work for me, however, so for now my gut is…
-
Heather - thank you! You are so right - if the opportunity is here now and it works, go for it. T is already rounding up the troops - her husband and son for starters. They have trucks and trailers and like Lisa's Corey, love to do the "guy" stuff. And I could get Collette to come help declutter and deep clean this place.…

I'm up way past my bedtime. Not sure I'll sleep much. My best friend T messaged me this afternoon - the house right across the street from her is for sale. I'm going to go see it tomorrow afternoon. She's coming with me, she's friends with the owner - it's a divorce situation, neither of them can afford to keep it so it's…
-
Ava - got your friend request, good job! Look forward to getting your info this weekend! ;) Lanette
-
Annie - good luck at the optometrist today. I found out a few years ago that since my sis has glaucoma, Medicare will pay for the exam at least. It's astounding what new frames and lenses cost, tho there are inexpensive options in some areas - I'm not aware of any in mine. :( I appreciate what you are sharing as you learn…

Javaplace and others who want to be included in the Weekly Check-in.... Please message your info to me on Sunday or Monday morning. My goal is to post it by noon every Monday - Pacific Standard time or whatever it is these days. :p We have to be MFP friends in order to use their messaging system, so send me a friend…
