Good morning, Violets...

Just checking in. Ethan is with me for the day and I'm giving him as much loving as possible. Things are a bit better at home according to Joe. They are having a family meeting tomorrow to discuss the issues. Not much more info than that. I told Joe that he HAD to call 911 the next time this happens.

Off to love up Ethan. Everyone have a good day.

DS Joe just called. DIL's mom is taking her to the hospital. Thank goodness. Hopefully they can get her on some meds to get her back on track. Up to this point she has refused meds. Only problem is, it's going to take up to 6 weeks for the meds to be effective. It's going to be along haul for awhile, I'm afraid.

OH my goodness! I missed so much while I was gone...

Judy and Kat - prayers to you and your families. Words cannot express how sorry I feel for everything that you guys are going through right now.

Michelle - Thank you for the reminder on the blessings. I have tried to end my day with a thanks to God for all the blessings he has given me but on more days than not I go to bed grumbling about how much I have to do the next day or how much I didn't accomplish today. I need to do alot better with that...

I'm gonna play catch up on the posts, only skimmed the last few pages...

I have had a permanent sickness for months now, it flares up at night, and fades throughout the day but never goes away..so I either can't taste, or barely taste things (which may be why I like really flavorful stuff right now). My eyes and nose always itch and in the middle of the night I wake up having sneezing fits, and in the morning I go through LITERALLY 20 tissues or more of snot. Doc told me to try Claritin, Benadryl, and Zyrtec--none did anything. She has me on a 5-day Zpak right now, I am on day 5 with no change.. oh well. I am just hoping when I have Carson it goes away, it's a permanent cold/allergy thing that isn't treatable!!

I thought maybe I developed allergies to something, so I meticulously cleaned our bedroom (since that's where I am at night/morning) and vacuumed the mattress, headboard, blinds, etc.. and no change. Then we went to Tunica, thought if I'm allergic to my feather pillows or the cats suddenly, it would stop.. no change in Tunica, same pattern, fades throughout the day then full force at night.. so.. LUCKILY that means I'm not allergic to my cats (I was worried).

Had 1/2 cherry yoplait yogurt for b'fast & 1/2c of apple juice. Having a Smart Ones meatloaf for lunch & a cup of applesauce. Also have 1/2c of root beer.

Had 20oz of Water so far.. going to make salmon for dinner--I've yet to make it at home where I liked it, but Russ always likes it and eats mine.. so then I heat up something else. Going to try yet again, with another recipe.

Sounds gross, but some food show I watched showed that you can steam cook salmon in your dish washer-- and I swear it looked YUMMY lol. I told Russ about it, and he said I better not cook our dinner in the dish washer.

DIL Jen is at Point East which is the mental health unit of the hospital. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs. Ethan is still here until his daddy comes to pick him up. We've read books and played Wii all day. Gramma is tired, but happy to be able to help this way.

Just wish we were closer to Kat to be able to give her our love and support in person.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
