two days before surgery
Monday, March 10th 2008
I have one day left before my hand surgery and I am worn out trying to get everything done that I have to get done. It's not like I'm going to Mars or anything or that my husband will be helpless around the house. The house won't even be clean since I can't do that with my bad back anyway. He'll have to do that anyway. I got the cooking done for a week, so he won't have to come home from work and do a lot of that for the first week while I'm a lump on the log.I won't be useless after about 7 da...chicken rolls

Here is a recipe for rolled up chicken with marinara or use your fav pasta sauce which is what I do. I made this dish and froze half of it in seal a meal bags for latter on.

Unfortunately, I will have to eat some cheese products this week since so many frozen meals have dairy in them. I hope...leptin and Ghrelin

Get your sleep, you need 8-10 hours a day my mother would say. That's all I heard growing up as she would lecture me every time I would question why I had a bedtime when other kids did not. She told me it was even more important for me since I had a health problem that I get proper rest. Well, as I got older I have come to appreciate that advice since the past 10 years I have suffered from a sleep disorder and have had to come to terms with it. Lately, I've been beating the odds and winning the...KEEPING STEADY

Yesterday I went to the hospital to get all the pre-op test done for my surgery. There I met a nurse who was taking down all my meds and other vital medical facts. She started to talk to me about my diabetes and my weight when I told her I had been losing and decreasing my insulin intake. Now this nurse was over weight herself and knew what I was doing was something special. She asked me if I wanted to know my BMI and I told her I pretty much knew where it was, but she could look it up anyway....
