Holding you up in prayers Am still sick with this cold - 2 more days of meds then need to see doc so he can check he condition of my lungs so that we can proceed with next surgery. Have lose every week now for 6 weeks - the small amounts are adding up and I am liking the new number on the scale. Should be 4 - 5 pounds down…

Am on meds for this cold - day 3 of these meds - and starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel - but still feel lousy. April 18 I go back for surgery on my arm - was to happen April 11 but we cancelled it because of this cold = just wanting to feel better - and I know it will happen - am having to learn to be…

Am doing well. Today is my weighin day - down again todau/ Finally at 231.8 giving me all of March without a gain so am thinking I will have to give it a try for April - would love to hae 2 months down no gain Headache ( neck feels a bit stiff) but that is from the tension I am caring around - need to relax those…

He is risen, He is risen indeed Am doing well just getting my mind prepped for the 5th operation on my arm. Praying that thisone will take. Had a great Good Friday service and Great One today. Church was packed. Friday we had 3 services same today and they told me after church it looks like we have about 1200 people out -…

Morning everyone - beautiful day today and am so grateful to be alive to enjoy it. Getting ready to go to church - so nice to be able to spend time each week with other believers, worshiping the Lord with great music, time in prayer and then listening to a great surmon - we are so fortunate to have great pastors at our…

Praying for you ladies as we approach going to church. Love Sundays when we can gather with other believers to join in signing / praising the Lord, and hear a good message. For all of Lent we have taken communion each week - we normally do it once a month - but it has been nice taking it everytime we gather to worship.…

Thanks for the prayers ladies - much appreciated. It is noon and all is well - slight headache - tension one - so am going to have to do something about that Food is going good- still working on the 1 pound a week and as I get weighted on Tuesday have to make sure the next few days are pretty clean eating. Somewhat…

Those changes you are making will surely help. Am having a good day though it is only noon. Norm and Priscilla are going to go shopping for a few groceries to get us through the next week. She loves going with her dad. We have a dear friend (81 years old) who was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago - brain cancer and…

Went to the kidney doctor on Tuesday. Am ok for the next 3 months unless I feel sick don't need to see them till June but have blood work every day. Outcome of visit was my number is 8 and when it goes to 6 we seriously talk diaylsis. They then take into consideration the number 6, how I am doing with eating, and sleeping…

Yeah medical tests can be ugly but well worth it to pinpoint where the trouble is. I get blood work done every month - can only get it out of my right hand (not elbow) because of them working at putting in a fistuala. My poor hand looks like a pin cushion but it heals just enough during the month so that I can have it done…

Sun is shining today and it is so nice be able to be outside enjoying it. Am sure the April showers will be soon arriving so am lapping up the sun for now. Today is weigh in day for me. Lost another 1.8 pounds = in the last 5 weeks I have lost every week for a total of 7 pounds. So setting a small goal of working just on…

Love coming here and reading how you ladies are doing. Today is my official weigh in day - 232.8 which is down 1.8 since last week. That makes 5 weeks in a row that I have lost - and I am so proud of that. Am not thinking re the big number. I look at todays weigh in, then go to prayer thanking Christ for his help to losing…

Greetings - praying for all of you and thank you for the prayers you have sent my way. Am doing fairly well and am pleased with the progress. My blood pressure was really good this morning (116/67 pulse 64) so the kidney doctor will be happy about that. I am making headway with my eating or trying to make headway by…

Doing well. Just took my blood pressure it was 116/67 pulse 64 so all good there Am losing weight this month - so far 2.8 down for the month and still time to lose a bit more so am happy with that. Have a new water bottel that holds 32 oz and it is marked on the side of the bottle so when I drink water i can actually see…

Bren am praying for you. Can I ask why you won't have those tests - I have had them and they put my mind at rest when all came up ok. Stress test = I had one done a number of years ago - had to be on the treadmill for 5 minutes at 8% incline. The tech stood beside me and said at any time I coud stop. I did the test and…

Well am home from having the surgery - it was done yesterday afternoon and they decided they needed to keep me overnight as my breathing was off a little. So I came home at 7:30 this morning all stiff and sore from sleeping in one position on an uncomfortable hospital bed. Am tired ( it is now 11:30 am) so am going to have…
