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!

Rain

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

      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? 🤷‍♀️
