Question for the group: Does anyone here use Skype? Jeffrey

Hi Sandy! You have the surgery correct. They rebuilt what they could. And yes, no more running for me, but we shall see! LOL I will try to get some new pics up while I am recoverying. My scanner is upstairs and I am a little afraid to tackle the stairs just yet. I liked that pic too, although I was heavier in it. Vain or…

I am making pinto beans with ham for supper! I am recovering! LOL

Good Morning Everyone! I am up and moving. The surgery went very well. I decided to do a spinal block at the last minute. I never felt a thing and I slept through the whole proceedure. They woke me up when it was over. The numbness lasted a lot longer on me than they though it would. 9 hours! That caused me some problems…

Hi Everyone! I am just relaxing a bit before mid night when I to go NPO. I have to be at the hospital @ 10 and the surgery is scheduled for noon. I will an epidural will be awake for it.

Sandy, Here is one that I live by that is very similar: Budda says: "Seek peace from within, do not seek it from without." Tell Hubby that I wish him a full and speedy recovery! Hang tough girl! Jeffrey

Good Evening! Just got back from my run. I got a tough 3.5 miles in tonight right after a long strength and ab workout. I think I paid the price on the run from yesterdays plyometric workout.

Good Morning All! Sandy did you get hit with weather last night? We had 3 tornados around us, but they all missed. We lost power until this morning. No damage here but it was a wild weather night. Marie good to hear from you! Whats up for the weekend with you? Barbie tell Jake hello. How is the yoga going? I have a little…

Hi There! Congrats on the accomplishments to date! Way to go!!! You are thinking correctly in my humble opinion. I too have struggled with knee issues. I have an eliptical and like to use it when I cannot run outside. The caveat to this is as follows: I can now run with only minor knee issues since the weight has come off.…

Good Morning All! Quiet so far today! Yeaaaaa! Getting ready to head to the pool or lake for a light swim workout. I wish you all a great day! Jeffrey
