Happy Sunday FS friends

So John's last test the eBUS is now done. Biopsies and images taken. Results should be in by May 9th.

Today I mowed the lawn. Had to as it was getting long with the cool weather and ton of rain. Part tractor mow, part push mow, part weightlifting as the tractor got stuck in the mud. Certain that my orthopaedic surgeon would not approve as the limit is 50lbs with a prosthetic hip, but sometimes you do what you have to do.

Off to the Casino to see a Simon and Garfunkel tribute this afternoon thanks to my friend who keeps getting free tickets.

Been good on the calorie containment front this week. Have discovered a love for pomelos thanks to a picture posted by another user on FS. Had never heard of them before but have discovered that the fruit is not as acidic as grapefruit and not as sweet as an orange. That it's a workout to actually get at the fruit (at least with these ruby red ones) makes it a perfect evening snack whilst watching TV.

And so it goes.

Good morning FS friends

So yesterday's doctor appointment went as would be expected. He did one more test which was to have me walk on my heels. Nope. Can't do it (left yes, right not a hope in heck)

Referred for zap testing (not sure when) to see which of the nerves that branch from the sciatic nerve are impacted. Therapy/surgery/brace whatever is to come won't be known until tests are done, results are in and a specialist is involved. He asked whether I had back problems (I don't). Any previous injury to the back...sure 50 years ago when I was doing the Fosbury Flop, overshot the landing mat and landed on pavement. Buggered up my sacroiliac (yes, it took months of in home physio to recover from that one)

And so it goes. As I was in town, went to the butcher and picked up some "treats"...tonight bacon wrapped pork tenderloin medallions and for tomorrow provolne and asparagus stuffed chicken breast for Thursday. What always astounds me that these things from the butcher shop cost far less than what a combo from MickeyDees across the road does. Odds are it will be infinitely yummier too!

Back to painting (almost done)

Good morning FS friends

Keeping on, carrying on. I sent John home so I could finish painting as his next appointment in this region isn't until the 22nd. He had his head MRI last night (found out last week that he has had a persistent headache since November). Hopefully we'll be getting some results on the 22nd and will be better able to plan the path forward. This whole hurry up and wait scenario is like a big black cloud hanging over our heads. Universal healthcare has its' upside but speed is not really part of the equation.

Recovered from my binge of a week and a half ago with a combination of modified IF and strict monitoring. I learned from that incident that my body no longer tolerates junk well, in fact it did not feel good. Working to hang onto the feeling of a junk food hangover so as to not do it again. Surprisingly it interfered with quality sleep, overall energy and digestion.

Onwards with my personal plan to get to a healthy weight as it is one thing I can control. Have my doctors appointment today to get to the bottom of the muscle wasting in my right leg. Strange that I didn't notice it at the gym, but I suppose the left leg was compensating for the weakness in the right. Not sure that much will happen other than perhaps a referral to a neurologist which will be a start at least. It would be such a shame if I again lost mobility after the long road to regaining it. Think positive Ann.
