Sorry you had such a tough day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Tried 5 minutes on the treadmill today when I got done on the bike. Might need to pace myself, knee is screaming tonight, though I stood on it more than normal today too so that didn't help. Not sure why, but since my computer ran the window's update it now thinks everything is misspelled. The red line under every word is…

B) ;) :#

How many calories do you guys think there are in ibuprofen? lol Bought a new exercise ball today, mine was way too big for the pt exercises. Did my 10 min on the bike and like a good girl got in my pt. The bike in the gym here at the complex (apartment) is rusted into place for a person who is taller than I am so that was…

lol It had to figure out a way to find it again, was driving me crazy. That little star is so far the best discovery I have made on here. lol Just click and you never search for the chat again. :p I have a big decision to make at home, so fingers crossed I don't eat my way through it. lol Knee tolerated pt ok but it is…

Been released to the recumbent bike! No more than 15 minutes a day for now along with my exercises but it is something!

Busty_lusty, if you click on the star in the upper right just it will bookmark this conversation for you. Welcome to all of the new people! The more the merrier! Great news, after 2 months I finally start physical therapy this afternoon for my knee! I can hardly wait to get back to walking more than a few yards without…

I don't know why you aren't running right out to take a jog in minus 30. Lol. :p

Another pound down this morning!

Got home yesterday, laid down on my own bed and fell asleep at 7. lol oops Hopefully we will hear tomorrow about starting pt. Can't wait to get this knee going the right direction so that the rest of me can get right too.

You can be as much of a baby as you want to at neg 30. Lol. Finally going home tomorrow. Mom is able to do most everything but cook now and I have gotten enough meals out up for her that she can hear and eat. Can't wait to sleep in my own bed.

Yay the weekend is here which means so is the wife! Mom wants a couple more days with help and the Dr ok'd her to try driving on sunday! There is an end in sight!

If only there was a way to speed up the insurance company to approve my pt. Ugh. This not being able to exercise is pretty much for the birds.

Hi curraninspections and busty_lusty, welcome. Jess, I think it is 29 and holding, otherwise how are the kids ever going to catch up? At least that was what my aunt used to tell me. She had to hold at 29 and wait for me to catch up. Lol. She finally turned 40 when her kids refused to explain why they were older than she…

Moms surgery went well, but now I am on the couch with my alarm set to get up every 2 hours to give her pain meds and a dog who won't stay off my knee. Wth? She is 13 lbs can't she find somewhere else to walk? Yeesh! Going to throw a couple things on my journal but too tired to log it all will finish it tomorrow.

Not to bad today after all. Thought super bowl would do me in, but managed to keep it under control.

Why is it so hard to stick to an eating plan when my wife is here? I love her but this weekend is a total bust.

The wife showed up an hour ago to spend the weekend with mom and I, with bags of chips and cookies and dips. Lord help.....

And the official diagnosis is......(drum roll please) a subluxated patella and marrow bruise of the left knee. Which for those inquiring minds means that I partially dislocated the knee cap and came as close to breaking my leg as you can get without actually fracturing it. Lol. Physical therapy for a month and then we go…

Welcome back, now no excuses, even just a smiley face will do.

Thank you bdgfn, not sure where Jess has been. Hoping everything is ok with her. I am way over calories today but sometimes you have to stress eat or explode. Lol. Sigh oh well tomorrow is a new day right?

Hey Jess, don't leave me hanging here. Mom is having surgery on her arm and I fond out about my knee next week. The good news is I am better able to stay under out here.lol

Could have sworn I posted yesterday. Lol. Guess I must have lost a day. Oops

Sigh another 10 days until I see the ortho for my knee. This sitting with my foot up is for the birds.

Made it to the weekend again!

I am sure you will do fine. Today was good, was under on my calories. Still waiting for the insurance to authorize an ortho for my knee so I am spending far too much time sitting. But the toe is much better. Guess I will count it as headed in the right direction.

The Mexican was good. Ate way to much and then made pizza for dinner. Little bit of emotional eating going on here. Mom has to have surgery on her elbow and my knee is killing me. Sigh. Awesome job on the steps!!!

Finally got a chance to post tonight. Not much to report today. We got this!

That's awesome! Glad you are feeling better. Wife called after lunch today and she wants to meet for Mexican tonight so wish me luck. That is my criptonite. I am still staying at mom's helping her so we haven't seen each other in a few days. But mom is doing well and I suspect that by Friday she won't need me out here 24/7…

Rest and get well. According to the doctors scale I am down 2lbs from a week ago!
