Call in sick; tell them you have eye problems...can't see coming in. Then your eyes will magically get better & you can shoot your new toy.

Wife tells me we are getting, 12 to 24" of snow starting any minute.... So I guess I'll be plowing tomorrow.
Hope it was a great holiday for you all....
Went ice fishing today... Used my new Auger with my drill Today...... worked great.

eventful week but almost killed myself with physical activity.... Moms hospital stay wound up being two days. After the initial check in I must have walked a mile. The next day the same getting lost The next day was good because She was better and Came home.

I have to support my weight with my arms on the walker. Back Legs Shoulders and forearms Were hurting... and It got to the point where I could only do about ten or fifteen steps before I had to sit down.

Tuesday I tried to get some rest but I forget what happened. Wednesday I had my Bariactric Doc visit. Appointment was at Nine Forty Five AM. a part of town I was only familiar with vaguely... So I fixed grandmas breakfast early and set it out. Left the house at Eight. Technically a Thirty minute drive. I hit traffic jam Right in town about two miles from the freeway. Fatal Accident at the top of the hill. High School Cars heading for hicgh school... Took me fifteen minutes to travel three miles.

Thank Gawd I chose the best rout Freeway wasnt too bad and made it to the hospital by Nine Thirty... Again walk from the Garage to the office and my arms are shaking...

Doc is nice office staff very professional. I weighed in at 371 Not the heaviest I have ever been but explains why walking about has been very tiring. I have gained twenty pounds since The doc insisted I loose weight.

This Bariatric Doc ... Dr. Mueller. Asked me what the heaviest I had ever been. I told him 380. then he asked me what the most I had ever lost through dieting.... I am actually a life time member of weight watchers. I lost 56 pounds in 26 weeks which brought me to goal weight... I kept it off for two years. I was twenty five at the time.

Then he asked me why I want to loose weight this way... I told him I want to live long enough to see my son Get married and maybe have some grand babies. I want to live another forty years. I have the genes to do it.

He said My BMI is at 57 percent... I automatically qualify... I have more docs to see... A Psychiartist to evaluate my state of mind .... .... I am good.... LOL.
My Cardiologist to verify my heart can handle the surgery... She was the first one who jumped for joy when I said I was going to try to get the surgery... I have only juist recently told the family this... But I have Congestive Heart Failure... A scary term but its due to my untreated hypertension. MY heart muscle is toughened like shoe leather... its not flexible enough for the demands of exercise... And why I suffer so much to walk ....

Dietician appointment with the hospital.... Dietician appointment for the life style change that started three weeks ago. I only have to be on the diet for three months and I have already qualified for one month. Then a preop diet for a couple of weeks ...
I should weigh around 150.... So my 220 Loss Journey Has started.
for those who know Kilos I should weight 68 kilos.... I will be loosing 100 kilos to attain that.

Good for you perchie.girl. I do hope it all goes well for you.

 

[Shadrach]

You do know that I made that up, right ?

Does anyone know where Shad put my chain ? I need it.

Here you go Mr @sourland. Thanks for the loan. It's all coiled up and out of the wet so the grips still good.

Excellent idea. I’m not going in early, but will have to work at least a partial day. People like me to show up on payday.

I did get to shoot my new toy yesterday! They must have lightened the pull on the new ones because it was easy. Actually the first shot surprised me how light it was. Hubby had sighted it in last week, so I get some nice groupings. Hope to get to hunt with it Saturday.

I hope you got some sleep and feel better today!
