Wait Jenna, you haven't seen my pics. Jessiebear, your Jade looks wonderful compared to mine. At least your leaves are plump and green. I'm working on posting updated pics...gimme a sec. Well, the more time the better or Jenna will hyperventilate!

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa uuuuuuuuuuuuhaaaaaaaaaaaaa ((breathing into my paper bag))

Okay, first off, the aloe vera plant needs a bigger pot. It is crowded. It will be fine.

As for the jade.... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhaaaaaaaaaaa uuuuuuuuuuuhaaaaaaaaaaaa ((back to my paper bag))

I swear I am going to send you money and confiscate the plant at some point. What happened to the other snippets? The picture may be showing a discoloration but is the jade purple?

Jessebear, I know you can't see the bakers rack very well in the pic above, but on the top shelf is a "Pothos"? plant like the one you posted. I actually do very well with that one. The second shelf holds an ivy plant that came from a greenery basket someone sent to us at my grandmother's funeral over 10 years ago. It has sentimental value and does okay, but it's barely getting by. The stems are thin and leaves are small. It could be so much better. The bottom shelf holds the Aloe, and behind it, the evil Jade.

YES! ROTFLMAO

I'm so sorry. The color is right. That's why I was so shocked at the beautiful green plump leaves on Jessiebears Jade! Mine looks NOTHING like that. Yep...purple.

Oh Jenna,

Your cracking me up here! I really shouldnt tell you this cuz I think it may throw you over the edge.... but.... We have discovered Home Depot plant department, they are so cheap there I can buy a big ole plant and keep it (if Im lucky) about 4 months before it is completely dead, then just go back and purchase a new one. And know that I am not buying these just to kill them, I keep trying differnt ones hoping one day one will take to me and want to grow in my house. Just have not found the proper plant yet.

p.s. I have given up on flowers.

Who saw that movie "Seven"? Rememmber the psycho who kept that guy on death's door for years? They thought they found a dead body but it took a breath! The psycho gave him just enough IV fluids to keep him alive, but starved him enough for so many years that he had only enough brain function to beat his heart and take a breath. Sick Sick Sick

That's how I feel with my Jade...like the psycho who only does enough to barely sustain it's pitiful little life. Only it isn't intentional! SIGH. I can't seem to just throw out the darn thing. Why can't I just let it go to Jade Heaven? Be done with it! I KNOW it isn't happy!

I'm going with j.s. to Home Depot.

OH my gosh you guys are hillarious. I have a plant like that (jade) but it gets little flowers is it a jade plant? I always thought it was called a rubber plant also. I have lots of plant and can grow just about anything but I have no clue what they are. LOL I have an Asparagus Fern that is over 12 feel long...had to hang it in my stairwell because it got so long.

Why is your jade plant purple? Looks like it is hyperventillating...LOL Jenna I think it need your bag or an oxygen mask..LOL

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
