All those who get stuck shoveling snow....a question



Recommended Posts

:biggrin1: and this folks is why I moved to Florida this year. Last night I went in the pool for a swim. My port didn't get sore at all. LOL I will say it did cool off though because I actually turned the AC off and opened the windows.

I want to live somewhere warmer. I live in BC, and while we don't get a lot of snow even a little is too much for me! As for the shovelling thing, I would pay someone to do it for me. If I don't want to do it- I pay someone else to do it. I think it is a simple philosophy. In 10 years after my daughter finishes school and moves out my husband and I are heading south. I am going to get me a lemon tree too!

We had 7 inches in St. Louis over the weekend and I sholved the drive way and side walk with no problems. Did not have any port pain, breathing problems, or wanting to stop like I used to. Hope you are doing well Rain and that your hubby port is doing better. The only problem I had with the port was a slight infection the 2nd day out and the doc gave me some meds to take and have not had any problems with it. Even with the 2 fills I have had.

snowblower, or pay one of the neighbor kids to do it for you. lol.

I am sooo glad we are in a apartment this year and they do the shoveling. My only complaint is they don't start till 8am and often many (my kids are in school by 7am) have to go out before that.. The guys at my apartment complex use snow blowers, salt spreaders and a Bobcat on the parking lots. But man it's nice not to have to do more then clean off the van.

Thanks all,

I must admit, I love the snow. I'm thrilled that it is this time of year and that it looks like it is going to be a snowy winter.

I cannot WAIT to take my 3.5 year old sledding...she's so excited and will be getting a new sled from Santa this year!

Good Times!

Everyone seems to have their ports located in different places. I think it may have to do with where your port is located.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
