Thank you all for your support. I don't know what I would have done without you. When I can't talk to any one else-you are here. When I sent the email the other day, I was crying so hard I couldn't even speak. I was all alone here at the house and needed to be with someone. You were the first ones that came to my mind. I hope you know how important each of you are to me. I appreciate the way that you have taken this newbie in.

Grandad is doing AWESOME. He went home yesterday and feels fine. ;-)

I can vouch for that. Since February, I've gotten 3 warnings (two on the same night) and 1 speeding ticket. :)

Lethal Woman-Where in the heck were you going in such a hurry? Hot date?

I can't believe that my mom hasn't ever gotton a ticket! She told me that the police escort was going to slow for her and so she actually motioned for him to move over and past him right up!!! I don't blame her. My grandad is the sweetest, most giving, Christian man I know. The thought of losing him is more than I can bare. I can't imagine what it must be like for my mom. I am just so thankful to God that he is ok.

.

Well, the night I got TWO (count em) 2 warnings, I was actually having a gallbladder attack and had made the mistake of driving 3 hrs to my mother's house. I was trying to make my way back home in rather severe abdominal pain (no lie), so yes, my foot was a bit heavy. I contemplated going to the ER but I waited til the following morning. That's a good excuse for that particular time.. but, I will have to say it's not the ONLY time I ever speeded. :) lol So, when the guy actually wrote me a ticket on the THIRD occasion, I had no qualms about it. I deserved it much more than that once. lol.

(sorry about the hijack of this thread. )

No problem about the "hijacking" I just consider it a kind diversion. It's always nice to be able to laugh when you are having a hard time. :pirate Grandad was on the beach fishing the last time, I talked to Granny! They always spend a couple of months at Padre Island this time of year..They are so full of fun! I hope that I can be that way when I get their age. I hope they both live to be healthy hundreds! They worked hard and did without all their lives and are now enjoying their retirement. I wish I could now:slots and shows in Las Vegas and Laughlin, Horse races in Ruidoso, Hunting and Camping in Colorado, Fishing in Padre, Carnival Cruises!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
