Tips on Losing Weight to Avoid Injury
It should be no mystery, that the more weight an individual carries, the more likelihood they are to suffer from orthopedic injuries, and conditions of wear and tear. This can be more time on the Doctors table, and debilitating joint degeneration issues as these individuals age. If you enter any hospital physical therapy department you…

BodyFlow, Surgery Rant and a New Job
I might have mentioned that I was taking a Line Dancing Class which ended last week. The teacher was a bit of a turd. She wore a back brace and was a gazillion years old. But I went and learned that I’m not really a line dancer. One of my previous managers is a friend…

New Date for Surgery
New surgery date for my cholecystectomy (getting the gallbladder out!): January 24th, 2012. I didn’t have to whine or anything. The hospital called back and my hubby told them December 23rd was not going to work. So finally the surgeon’s office called and we decided on the end of January. Why I didn’t want two…

I’m reposting something I wrote in August 2010. It actually is good to revisit some of our old thoughts because this one is so real to me.

Red Licorice
At my new workplace they have a really nice lunch room with a vending machine full of chips, chocolate bars and these small packs of red licorice. It’s a little downfall of mine. If you look really close, it says “As Always, A Low Fat Candy” Yesterday and today have been stellar eating days. I…

Checking In
Just wanted to do a quick update since my gallbladder surgery last Tuesday. All went well. Had the surgery at 8:00 am on Tuesday and woke up in Recovery at 9:10 am wide awake. A first for me. With no pain. I guess my doc gave me a shot of Dilaudid (or something similar) in…

Oh! The Places You’ll Go
I’ve been reading during my “recuperation” and it fills the hours. As I was surfing some blogs I found this link to a rendition of a Dr. Suess book. Sometimes we just have to go back to the beginning. Even if you don’t get it, your kids will. My favourite part is half-way through the story…
Got any book recommendations?
