My leukemia's back.

Yeah, I always found that to be so bewildering. We would have a patient come in that was overweight and then they would be panicked when they lost weight...and these peeps weren't receiving radiation therapy. I can still hear the nurse I worked with looking at her nourishment tray and saying, 'this person needs to loose 100 pounds. Why are we giving them Ensure supplements?' The next week the dietitian would be notifying us of that patient being put on a 1800 calorie diet. They wondered why they saw marks on the wall where we pounded our heads on regular occasions, LOL.

But I can see their point where your treatment is concerned, though. Wasn't the purpose of going to the doctor back in December originally to be considered for bariatric surgery? All things happen for a reason, dear lady. Thank God you went and they found the problem that you are dealing with now. Just a little detour for you, Deb, but one you can handle.

@ronott1, we would love to be riding more than what we are now which isn't very darn much. Our roads here are pretty bad. Some roads 'alphabet roads' we call them with names like J, NN, etc are blacktopped along with the state roads and interstates but everything else is gravel. The blacktops have no shoulders and drop offs where the gravel meets the pavement. I had a wheel drop off the edge of the blacktop one day and dump me on the road. Luckily I was on a recumbent at the time so I didn't fall far. So we mainly ride mountain bikes on the gravel roads and on trails now.

It is similar here. Davis is a big bicycle city but Woodland is not! Pedestrians and cyclists are killed here on a regular basis. It is not a walking or riding friendly City! Kind of Scary how bad the drivers are here.

I will toe the line.... And Eat Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia if necessary....

Oh the sacrifices one must make.
It is unfortunate though, since you do want to lose weight

You could commute your bike on the car to Davis, then ride to work

Good morning, Team Rachel. Another rainy 'Saturday' here.

Third Saturday of the week?

 

[Blooie]

Good morning all! Home from trip - again - but preparing for another one to Douglas on Thursday. This one will be a one day trip. Lodge opening is at 3, Cornerstone ceremony at 4, done around 5, Lodge closing after that, then we turn the Mouse around and head home. NOT looking forward to that! We're not staying for the dinner after the Cornerstone...we have a 5+ hour drive home, which puts us home around midnight, so it's gonna make for a long day already, without sitting through a badly-done banquet.

And I have Kendra and Katie at 6:45. Jen's morning person can't make it in to work on Friday due to out of town funeral for her dad, so Jen has to be in early to make breakfast for the kids who eat breakfast at school. She'll have the girls dressed, but I need to do the 7:30 cath and meds, and all the other stuff that "getting them ready and off to school" entails. Katie pretty much takes care of herself, but getting Kendra ready for school is like roping a windstorm!

Living in WY you should be good at that by now!

Hi Team Rachel. Seems too formal to say “good afternoon” somehow.

 

[bruceha2000]

Hi Friday, how are things?
