Kate- Love the pics! The tree is a riot!! I'd be tempted to leave it that way! I don't know that I will actually put my tree up this year. Since I am moving, I will not be putting it up in my current house as it just doesn't make sense. When I get to the new house, it will depend on how things go and how much energy I have…

Hello All! Nichpnh- sorry to hear about your dog. It is always so hard to lose a family pet. I had a good rest of my weekend. Got all of my Christmas shopping finished up for the most part- may pick up some odds and ends still. Had to have a heart to heart with hubby this weekend as he has been reluctant to participate in…

Good Friday morning to you all! Yesterday was a good day. Hubby was doing pretty good overall. They still have not attempted to get him out of bed yet. I am hoping today- It has been so long already and he needs to get moving again!! Had a nice dinner with my family. My mom made way too much of too many things, but I love…

Happy Hump Day all! Last day of work for me this week and I come in early so I get to leave early- 4:30- not early to some, but I am normally here until 6:00 so early for me. I will be heading to spend the weekend with my parents and be closer to my hubby. He is supposed to have a PT evaluation today to see how much work…

Louisa- Good luck with all of your wedding plans. Larro is right, it's all about the routine. Sometimes even when we don't feel as motivated, sticking with the plan is the best. Caramel- Way to channel those feelings! It is OK to grieve though and does play an important role in the healing process. I give you credit just…

Happy Tuesday Cool Kids! Beeps- That place looks AMAZING!! :heart_eyes: I would love to be some place warm right now! I had Jacob this morning. He was fun as always. I won't see him again until next week because my daughter is headed to Buffalo for Thanksgiving with other family. It always seems like such a long time. I…

Caramel- so sorry to hear this. :'( (( Hugs to you my friend)) Well- another eventful weekend in my world! The procedure that my husband was supposed to have on Friday turned into surgery. They found that the infection he has had degenerated the bones and started to attack the muscle. The Surgeon had to go in and clean out…

All Right Cool Kids~ I didn't make it on here yesterday, but so much to tell. Wednesday evening my DH tells me they think he has some paralysis setting in in his legs and he is freaking! I headed up to the hospital to be with him. They did an MRI Wednesday night but did not get results back until yesterday morning.…

Good afternoon all! Another crazy day in my life! Two meetings this morning and in the middle of it all, I had the state recertification lady show up at my sight to do their annual visit! I also got a call from rehab saying that when hubs went for his follow up appointment at the hospital today, he was in such severe pain…

It's Tuesday! Jacob stayed overnight with me last night as both of his parents were sick. We had a fun "slumber party" except when it actually came time to go to bed. He was a bit upset that he wasn't with his mommy and daddy. I ended up letting him sleep in my bed and he is crazy busy when he sleeps. Feet and legs…

Larro- Me Too!! I was planning on cleaning up tonight,but my daughter is quite ill and has asked if I would keep Jake overnight and take him to the sitter's tomorrow. Should prove to be quite interesting.

Happy Monday all! I have had an extremely busy weekend. Friday was our performance day and I didn't have to be in to work until 12:00. I ran 3 miles in the am and then worked until 8:45. Saturday was up early to go see hubby in rehab. He had a good day Saturday and did PT and OT fairly well. Hoping for some improvement…

Curious- Love the pic- buttercup seems a very befitting name! Larro- flower bed pics are great! Beeps- Hope you get your furnace fixed soon! Have a blast in Mexico- sounds like you are planning on it!! I made it to the gym and did some much needed cardio to help with my stress level. Not much is new on my end. Hubby didn't…

Good afternoon Cool Kids! Life goes on!! Thank You all for your kind words of encouragement. Had a bit of a scare yesterday morning with Hubs. They went to wake him up and he was unresponsive for several minutes. They did sternum rub and even had his head and torso lifted off from the bed which normally would have sent him…

:lol: :smiley: Love it!! A juggler in the circus!! I would probably enjoy it more than the job I have now!!! Thanks for making me laugh Larro!!

It's Monday morning again!! Friday was a rough day for me. Hubby is having more kidney problems and they are setting him up for an ultrasound this week. I also found out that every time he is transported to an appointment from there I get charged(insurance doesn't pay for this) 190.00 plus mileage- YIKES :unamused: He's…

Good Friday morning! Hurray for Friday!! :relieved: I went and did some lifting today, and a little cardio just to get the blood flowing!! Please do not fear- I am not turning back away from all I have accomplished. I am keeping up with my workouts and doing the best I can with the diet part. At this point, I am at least…

Alf- My hubby ended up with an inflamed disc and then the vertebrae on either side of that disc ended up with an infection. Bone infections are nasty and painful things!! He was in the hospital for 10 days and is now in a rehab facility basically learning to walk again and regaining his strength. At this point, he hasn't…

Happy Hump Day! Got my butt outta bed this am and made it to the gym for some cardio- good times! :sweat_smile: - Welcome to all the new folks! Stick around we can be interesting! - Hubs had a good day yesterday! Therapy got him out of bed with the lift and he spent the day in a recliner- first time out of bed in two…

I never know how to make them smaller either- I thought I had it before I put it up, but it is big!

Happy Tuesday. I had Jacob this morning. We had fun as usual, but I hate dropping him off lately. :cry: I would rather hang out with him than go to work. Stinks being a responsible adult sometimes! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Hubs has been making small strides. They were able to get him out of bed and into a recliner…

Good Monday morning all! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I visited with my hubby on Saturday. When I talked with him last night he said that he was feeling pretty good and was bored! Hoping that we have finally turned the corner and he will be able to really start hitting therapy hard so that he can come home! Our goal…

It's Friday!! It has not been a great morning, but hopefully the afternoon will be better. I was all set to go to the gym this morning, and then thought about sleeping in since I was on the phone with hubby until almost 11:00 last night, but I did manage to get up and go and did some cardio and some weights. I am glad I…

Hey all! Back at work after my "ahem" vacation. Spent most of it either visiting or talking to my hubby on the phone. He finally went to rehab last Friday, but has been a bit resistant to PT due to his pain level. I think he is slowly starting to come around though. Not sure how long he will be there. He has a follow up…

Good morning All! Welcome to all the new people! WOW! we are growing in leaps and bounds lately! No work out for me today. I had Jake this morning before I went in to work. He keeps me busy! He's very active, but boy do I love him!! :heart: :heart_eyes: Hubs is finally ready to go to rehab so now we are just waiting to see…

Happy Monday! Great pic Larro! I got my butt outta bed this morning and made it to the gym. It was quite cold this morning and I was comfy in my nice warm bed so it was a struggle, but I did it and I do feel better for doing it! Hubs is still having issues today. He has not been able to really eat all weekend and has had…

Good morning Cool Kids! Welcome to all of the new people! I stayed with my parents last night and was going to go running this morning, but it's raining and crummy outside! Not sure what the plans are for the rest of the day. Hubs had a bit of set back yesterday and was not able to keep anything down. The doc decided to do…

Happy Friday All! Made it to the gym today and just did cardio today- 10min each of treadmill, stairmaster, intervals on the bike, and elliptical. It felt good to get back there. :sweat_smile: - I talked to my hubby just a bit ago and he and my son-in-law will be meeting with a social worker later this morning. They are…

Hi all! Hanging in here. I did get a run in yesterday morning- great trail near my parent's house. I have been trying to behave with the eating, but we ate out all day yesterday- can you say sodium- UGH! - I talked with the patient a bit ago, and things are progressing slowly. The doctor's are narrowing down the infection…

Good morning all! Things are moving along. Once the doctors at Strong Memorial have had a chance to look at all of the tests and were actually able to talk my husband through an MRI- with a little help from some valium :relaxed: they have decided that he does not have an abscess, but instead has an inflamed disc and a bone…
