A true friend is someone that won't let you back out of going to an "AB'S class! This should be a fun class, I have a frog tattoo that I have not seen in a few years.....my belly hangs over it!!!! :)
I am hoping by going to the YMCA this morning my day will be full of energy!
Yesterday was a very lazy day...which was great because I had no energy, my legs hurt, I had no desire to even walk. Usually when we walk Maggie, I am walking very fast and love it but last night I had to focus on taking every step!
Gotta go get ready, will hopefully write some more tonight....have alot going on!!!

I am back.......I know it has been awhile since I blogged. I stopped for awhile because I got tired of saying the same thing over and over! I hurt!! I am in constant pain......my legs, my arms, my back, my whole body!!! It is different levels daily, it depends on my mood on how I handle the pain. Some days I can take it and some days I can't! Some days I want to scream!! AAAHHHHH!!!!
I was so afraid of the car trip we took to Venice Fl, I didn't know how I would do......I was quite happy! My legs were in pain but it was o.k. for the most part. What helped is I slept about 80% of the time. The rest of the time, I just moved around......I fidgeted!!!
I am back going to the YMCA, I soooo need to do this. It will be great for my strength, flexibility and my weight!! I weighed myself for the first time in 2 years. I don't need a # to know I am overweight!!!! Well now I have a # so maybe it will help!!!! I need to lose 25 pounds and I can do it!!!!!!!!!
My pain is not going to stop me!!!
Gotta go....water class is calling me!!!

I am not lost....I am right here! I just have not felt like really talking lately.
Yesterday I had my first colonoscopy and hopefully my last! The stuff you have to drink is sooooo awful and that is putting it kindly. I am now fully empty......I hope to keep it that way. One thing that worries me is my oxycontin. One of the side effects is constipation and believe me it does that! I am going to talk to my doctor about switching to another pain pill. I am first going to cut my pill in 1/2 and try cutting down that way.
Adding fiber however I can to my diet......I don't remember a thing!! Except that my husband was wonderful and loving! Thank you for everything you do. Also want to say Thank you to my fantastic mother in law, Sue! I love you both..........
Gotta go, have a very very busy day!!
I am leaving for the beach today, my daughter is graduating tomorrow. I am so happy but yet, very sad. This is the beginning of a whole new chapter for her....she is growing up and becoming a young adult.

yea, i get to have a colonoscopy next Tuesday!! i can't wait!! i could do without the yucky liquid stuff though!!! i hope this helps with my poopy problems......
worn out and don't feel like doing anything...but i have a list of things. lets see which one wins out.....
Good morning,

I think today is going to be a good day! I am up and moving around...I have actually done a few things already!!!! Laundry, let Maggie out and am now going to go hang a bullitin board in Alexx's room.
I think the reason I am up and going is because I know I have an appointment with the poopy doctor today. I am nervous. I actually cancelled an app. a couple of months ago because I was nervous....I know I will be glad once I go!!!
I am so glad I crawled down the stairs this morning and took my medicine early...my legs felt like....I don't know how to describe lets just say VERY bad pain!! I can actually walk now. I just have to stay awake....my legs still hurt but this is manageable for now.
My right wrist is killing me....not sure what I did!
I went to the pool yesterday, walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes and then came home and worked on the mess in front of my dining room window. Jim pulled the bushes out and I am now getting it ready for other bushes or plants. Not in a real hurry......just want to keep it neat.
The water felt so good yesterday..my legs just plain ol hurt. I couldn't swim without a noodle! My energy was just not there....I am so glad that I worked thru it!!! I am looking forward to tomorrows water class and getting back on the tread mill!!
If I could just stay awake!!! I keep falling asleep while typing this...I am getting to be where I can fall asleep anywhere, even standing up. I am going to call my doctor about a medicine I heard of that might help??????
My arms are burning and my lower arms are hurting so I'm going to go......
