Well ok, doesn't hurt that bad but it does tingle a bit.

Was working in my flower beds yesterday and got a touch red on my arms, shoulders, and back.

The up side I got one flower bed weeded, trimmed back (had one flower that propagated like crazy so had to pull over half of them or I would have had a white flower bed) some of the over zealous flowers, reseeded (yeah late in season but the weather wasn't cooperating until recently).

Now to finish my other flower bed today, and then trim back my rose bush's and prune some of the new growth. I also was able to get some beauty bark around my tree's. I was thinking about planting some pansies (I mean dropping packets of seeds wily nilly so its nothing but pansies around the tree) but the hubby said no, cause they tend to spread out into the yard and get mowed down. He is right so beauty bark it was.

And no, I didn't lift the bags of bark, a friend came over and laid them out by the tree and all I did was spread them around.

But oooooof my cat just jumped on my shoulder, guess I am a bit more burnt then I thought. *goes off to look for lotion and aloe*

Better put on lots of sunscreen and cover up before you head back out today. You sure don't need to burn more! Hope you get better quick.

Try vinegar on the burn <you can even warm it in the microwave a wee> apply it with a soft wash cloth. You'll smell but feel OH SO MUCH BETTER!

When your burn is over I'll give you my address and welcome you to repeat what your doing at your house :thumbup:

Laurinda HAHAH nahh not gonna do the vinegar *shudders* but it was really mild, its nice and tan now. Except you can clearly see my chicken pox scars now. LOL reason #7843749782 why I try to stay out of the sun for to long.

As for workin on your flower beds, well, how much ya gonna pay me and do you mind someone doing it with an acid thumb? LOL I just toss seeds in the flower beds cover them with a small layer of dirt and call it a day.

Cept for my roses. For some reason those are the ones things that I can get to grow, and grow nice and pretty. Oh, and Jades, I haven't killed mine yet.... Or the Aloe ...

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
