Can't be without my friends. You all are a big part of my success.

LOL, enjoy the new vacuum and the new knees you are gonna get! I am happy you are going for it and look forward to your recovery to a new you in so many ways. You are too young and way tooo awesome to be hobbling around. You have grandkids to chase, pool parties to attend, and a hubby to cater to.

Good luck with the knees Janet. I will try to remember you on the 14th, but I am old! LOL

Sounds like all had busy weekends, mine was quiet but fun. Tomorrow manicure and photo albums!

Carole, so glad to hear from you. I was starting to get worried.

I kept thinking of txting you, the next time I got up to get phone, by then I'd forget again. Geesh, getting older is for the birds.

Janet... never did a one fabric quilt. I am being lazy, had a stomach bug for the past couple days. I have stay near the toilet! Band is fine... and I have lost weight, but not my favorite way to go.

Good Evening All...

We have been enjoying our time visiting with the family...except for missing our Sushi. Miso, the runt of the litter had been with her mother, Sushi, every day of her life. She looks so lost and lonely at times. It just makes the empty space seem larger.

Tomorrow I see my surgeon to get his opinion as to what is to be done about my band. My PCP believes there is an additional issue with my stomach, but will defer his medical opinion to the bariatric surgeon. The PCP did share that another of his patients decided to have her band removed, as she lost enough weight that the band could be seen when she laid down, which interfered with her "bikini" image. She ended up regaining most of the weight she lost. So much for "going it alone".

Terri, I hope you are feeling better now. No fun to be sick...

#^%! iPad again...

Michelle...how did your son's appointment go? So good to know that you are making good progress with reaching your goal...and enjoying life!

Dee, I hope all is well at home now. How is your husband doing with his new diet?

I hope all is well...

Janet, I admire your fortitude...surgery is so soon! You must feel beyond ready for your mobility to return. As Brian Williams shared ( he just had knee replacement surgery), his physician told him he would know when it was time to have the surgery done. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers!

Diane, long time since "seeing" you around. I also hope that all is going reasonably well, and that the rest of the family is helping.

Dawn...I enjoyed your pictures! You are looking wonderful...I hope you are feeling as good as you look!

I hope that I will have some answers tomorrow...will keep you all posted...wish me well.

Sweet dreams...we are so blessed to have each other...
