I had my left TKR yesterday. Things are going ok and I am managing the pain. I’ll go to first PT tomorrow at 8 am. Machka, I totally understand not being ready. I put this off way too long. You will know when being out of commission for a while is worth the end result of being able to do the things you love without pain. I…

well, Home Depot was very nice. She turned my receipt over, wrote 7 bags, and signed it with her name and phone extension. Then I bought 17 more. She didn’t even count my empty bags, just asked if I wanted her to throw them out for me. I stood and counted with the guy today as he put the 24 bags in my truck. It was…

Went to Home Depot today and bought 30 bags of mulch. Paid my niece to spread it for us. Lo and behold, there were only 23 bags on the truck. Will let you know if I ever go shopping at Home Depot again after my trip tomorrow to see if they will make it right. Dave said they did this last time we bought mulch there, but he…

i’m just checking in. Sorry for being such a slacker. It may get worse, but I will try to fo better, because I do love keeping up with you guys. the gold membership that I have in Healthy Free Life includes a free, supervised membership in chronometer. That means the nutritionist has access to my food diary and it doesn’t…

Machka, thanks for explaining that I had to highlight the name to find the bold selection. For some reason, I thought it was under the paragraph symbol menu. I had clicked on it, then each of the symbols at the bottom of the text box - none of which produced it either. It is much easier to do on the computer than it is on…

Michele, The only comment I have about the closet system is that I would need one with a space for tall things. I could fold my pants, although I prefer to hang them by the waist and let them hang down long, but I do wear dresses, so would need somewhere to hang them. I like the idea of drawers in a system, but my closets…

Barbara, this is just my opinion, for what it is worth, but the Jitterbug flip phone is not intuitive. My mother has one. Of course, texting is a royal pain. She doesn’t use texting, but other people continue to text her, so,I have to deal with that for her. She refuses to change to their smart phone, but she can’t figure…

welcome, Teresa!

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48939317#Comment_48939317 my last injections were in October, so I might be good.

thank you to those who shared your knee surgery stories - keep them coming - the more informed the better. Thank you, especially to whoever mentioned that you have to be injection free for so many months before they operate. I may need to skip the injections on the 23rd and go straight to scheduling left knee. I had a nice…

i’m gathering info from any and all who have had total knee replacement. I’ve googled my questions, but I want to hear from real people. How long were you out of commission? Was it worth it? How did it impact your weight loss journey? How did you know you were ready? I am to the point where I don’t think my left knee will…

Beth, congratulations on the weight loss and other improvements to your health. I, too, am convinced that protein and exercise are the keys. Allie, congratulations on the new grandson. He’s a cutie.

Carol, did your DH do your taxes or did an accountant do them? Putting all the forms that come in into a folder is a good first step. If an accountant did them last year, he or she can tell you if anything is missing. If your DH did them himself, then I would take a copy of last year’s returns with you along with your…

well, I tried something new tonight - a mug cake made in the microwave with a scoop of protein powder, 1 egg, 3 tbs water, and 1/2 tsp baking powder. It was not the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten, but it wasn’t bad. I was low on calories and protein, and it brought me up to my goal. I have a few more packets of…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48898673#Comment_48898673 I am not a coffee drinker, but the best coffee I ever had was my mother-in-law’s. I don’t know if it was her brand, the Minnesota water, the old-fashioned percolator or what, but it was so good. The Sawmill Inn in Grand Rapids, MN made…

for those shopping new scales, I really like the RENPHO. It’s reasonably priced around $25 and, if you are so inclined, it will Bluetooth to the RENPHO app and automatically sync your weight to MFP. I weigh first, then decide if I want MFP to know. If so, I’ll open the app and weigh again. It weighs me pretty close to the…

I'm checking in just to be checking in. I've been reading but not responding. The "crud" is getting old. Just as I was getting over it, I relapsed and now the second round has been hanging on for over two weeks. I am so tired of feeling tired. today is definitely better though. I'm contemplating skipping church again…

congratulations, Rebecca! I’m so happy you got that beautiful house, and that you connected with Tina. Debbie, it was my mother’s idea to get the life alert and she wears it faithfully. It scared her the last time she fell. I have an older friend who fell down her basement stairs where she stayed for 3 days before she was…

Ali, when I got my mother’s life alert, I got it through her electric company. I paid directly for a device to go around her neck and they add the monthly fee of $19.99 to her electric bill. It never occurred to me to see if insurance would pay. I just paid it. It never occurred to Mama that it cost more than her monthly…

Beth, consistent workouts with weights is what finally busted through my plateau. I have lost close to 15 lbs this year. And I do believe it’s the protein that conquered my cravings for sweets. I have had the crud for going on 10 days now, so haven’t worked out this week. I miss it. I am embracing rest, though. Hopefully,…

Lisa, I got Dave a similar shirt at Sam’s a couple of years ago for a similar price. He loved it, wanted more, of course they were sold out by the time I got back. I had to google the label and pay twice as much for another one from Amazon. They are his favorite shirts to throw on over a tee shirt and get cozy. I’ve tried…

sorry about the picture. I will try again. It’s son, me, husband, granddaughter, son-in-law, daughter, grandson, in our backyard on Thanksgiving day.

Rebecca, congratulations on Onederland! Just know that it is normal to fluctuate a little above and below that magic number for a while before you settle in below. i had a nice little post going yesterday and MFP wouldn’t let me post it. They said I wasn’t logged in, even though my picture was showing in the menu bar and I…

Hugs, Melanie. Our children can really hurt us. At least he did apologize. Nothing wrong with you being mad for a while, though. You can’t just turn feelings off, especially those kind. Barbara, I’m glad you found your $90. That kind of thing drives me crazy. I have a question for those of you who use CeraVe. I bought some…

I have mentioned a time or two the workouts I do M-F via Zoom. Well, the people who do them are offering a great promotion. Since this contains a link and promotion, as well as being faith-based, feel free to scroll on by. But if you are interested… you can see me in the zoom picture and they’ve quoted me in one of the…

Lanette, Thank you. You may be right, but I’m apprehensive. Google led me to sites offering to download driver updates and repairs. They all eventually charge you, so you have to enter credit card info. I talked to some AI helper who offered a real person to help me over the phone - again - money. The main reason I am…

google failed me, so I thought I would ask you all this question. My husband adores playing Poker with Hoyle Card Games. As far as I can tell. Their latest version is not supported by Windows 11. We took a chance on it last year, paid $20 at our own risk, knowing it might not work on our new Windows 11 computer. Well, it…

thanks for the bd wishes. Carol, although different circumstances but I understand the “thought we would be coming home feeling “ y’all remember last Thanksgiving when Mama and I went and got my brother after his car accident and the possum got into my pies? After the accident in April that took his life, Mama just kept…

Lanette. We have Kindle Unlimited and definitely get our money’s worth. There are several authors I enjoy. I looked up the book you recommended -Bones, something”. It said we had checked it out 3 years ago but it did not seem familiar to me and Dave swore he did not read it so I downloaded it again. I have definitely not…

Hugs to Carol. We are all here for you. Several regular posters have recently gone through the same loss. Hugs also to Lisa, Rita, and others who are hurting for adult children. I’m hugging myself here, too. More hugs to Ally, Mo, and others who are dealing with health issues. So that my post won’t be a total downer,…
