I gotta share this, when I was searching for a Newsfeed, I noticed that NBC's studio is on West BIG BEAVER Rd. :-)

CNN just sucked me in.

Well, here's to the system doing as it should. I feel bad for his wife and kids.

JC - I was prescribed B12 injections last Friday, started them Saturday. I was really freaked out, too. I was already doing the Byetta, but that is a pen with a needle about 3/4" long. My B12 came with a prescription for syringes with a needle that is 3 or 4 times that length, I'm guessing. I've never even given blood because I get freaked out over this stuff! Once I finally sucked it up and did it, it was the same as the Byetta....I didn't even feel it! I felt silly. :wub: I do rotate the site...thigh to back of hip...four sites. My schedule is 1CC every day for two weeks, then twice a week for four weeks then just twice a month after that for maintenance. Byetta is twice a day, every day, forever...UGH. I learned how to do the injection from YouTube! It worked perfectly.

OH! And I don't know why it matters, but my nurse said to inject the needle with the bevel up. When you look at your syringe/needle, the tip is beveled.

Now maybe y'all can help me? I'm trying to figure out how to put podcasts on my ipod. I'm not techno challenged by any stretch, but I've just never done this and I can't figure it out! HELP!

LOL. The best part is that Big Beaver Road is exit 69 of the freeway. =)

J I feel bad for his children, not his wife. She is a crook herself using a city paid vehicle and lying about it. Plus she loves her position as Mrs. Mayor.

You are very welcome! Yeah, my DD was picking on me while I was whining and moaning about doing my first one. (Heartless wench, like her mama!) I must've had that syringe in my hand for 20 minutes and started to do it 100 times before I actually did it! I'm such a wuss.

Any tips on getting podcasts onto my IPOD? This is what I'm trying to get onto it (I use ITUNES):

Podcast running jogging walking training injury injuries

I took a look, from the quick look I took this is what I would do, download the link manually into a folder then import to I-Tunes. I will be doing this tonight because that is a cool a$$ site.

I'm probably not going to be any help, but just hit subscribe to podcasts and it automatically downloads to my iTunes account. When I recharge it uploads the newest podcasts.

But I go to podcasts via iTunes site, not from other sites on the web. Probably why I don't have issues.

Hi everyone!

JC- Sounds like you have lots of help in the B12 area! Your doctor's office will show you how to do your injections, so don't worry too much! They won't make you figure it out on your own! The hardest part is the first time you stick yourself. ZZ is telling you right though, slow=pain. You'll want to insert the needle like a dart. Quick and purposeful (just don't throw it or be forceful! lol). The size of your needle sounds a little short though for IM. If you just don't think you can do it, let them know..they can always do them for you with an appointment with the nurse.

HP/ZZ- Good luck on your race!!!!

TX- Go to iTunes and click on Podcasts. Most (if not all) are FREE!! I have a few that are awesome! You can get some for bicycling (sorry, I mean bycyling) as well as running. The music is set to cadence, or heart rate. So cool! Once you choose them, click subscribe. You will need to click on the episodes you want the first time. Once you connect your iPod, it will down load those episodes (unless you tell it you want all of them). It will check for new episodes each time you connect and based on what guidelines you told your iTunes to do it will download them. I have Cadence Revolution, PodRunner, Motivation to Move and some others. I think you can get them from other sites too, but I've never done that. There is a tab in your iTunes that lets you manage your podcasts. Hope that helps!

BG- Justice is always a good thing. :wink:

J- How's it goin? Are you ready for Spring Break?

Well, today I am officially cancer free!! Today is a good day.

I rode my bike today. It was colder than I expected because the sun was shining! I got flurried upon! Snow!

So woo hoo, I got a few miles on me! And I didn't fall down.

C-

Congrats on being Cancer Free! That's fantastic. Do you have a surgery date set in stone now? Is it the 1st or the 10th? Those were the two possible, right?

Zoe is back in school this week, but I'm happily dealing with an empty work place.

I hope everyone is fine.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
