May 5, 2014 Too funny!!!

Saturday, was a funny day, here at the care center. I got dressed and needed for the cna's to put me into the hoyer life to  get me into the wheelchair to go down to pysical therapy. the two young people didn't know what they were doing and I wound up gong round and round in circles.Thank God, my knee was not hurting, because they left it hanging as they tried to get me situated. it was so funny. They were so afraid that I was going to be screaming and mad at them but, I just hung there and laughed.
Last nigt a man died two doors down from us. I hear loud noises and then the nurse calling for all the nurses to come to his room and then they said to call 911 and then more noises, and then the police came, more noises. the patient died, I found out this morning. I had my roommate turn down her tv and we prayed for the man, but to no avail.
My roommate had her tv on all night again, but, it was on low at least. this morning, when she turned on her tv at 5am, I turned on my light and my music and prayed and sang.  I took a tylenol and norco, this morning. I went to tp and I walked 20 steps after I warmed up my legs first. I was happy.
At happy hour I ae cheese n crackers and at taco and drank sparking juice.at 4>30 pm my blood sugars was 100. God has healed that diabetes attack out of my life.
I  used my nurses phone to call sprint to get my phone fixed. I think that it worked.
I still have my turkey burger from lunch and I got a diet pop and a bag of mms for dinner. I am going to have a tylenol 325mg and a norco at 9am daily to help me walk better.

Good news today

Well, I celebrated my 62nd birthday and it was great, really great.I enjoyed a visit from my family. Too kool. a lot of gifts. I was so happy. They also brought green juice for me too.

I have not been doing too bad with my eating but, everyday it seems like there is always an opportunity to eat what I shouldn't.

Missy gave me green juice, which I drank up and also made smoothies for myself.

But, there always seems to be a way or opportunity to do the wrong thing.

I had a great day yesterday.my eating was good.

My friend L. visited me on Thursday and she went off again. I told her again, that God is not not answering a person for 3 years regarding her finances, job, living conditions,the women at church and her sister. i was so tied of her, really tired of her, but God. In my flesh I really don't want to be bothered with her, but, God could feel the same way about me,but, he never gives up and still loves me even when i talk and act crazy.But, I just acted like nothing happened, when I texted her a few minutes later.

My doctor from in today came in today and  he asked why i was still here, I told him about my total knee replacement and about the weight markers. He said he knew a good surgeon from U of C hospital,who could do my surgery right now with no weight loss. I was so excited, I mean I want to lose the weight, but I'd rather get the surgery and do rehab and go home. I pray that this works out for me and get this surgery done in at least the next 6 weeks or less. we will see. I want to have the surgery done by a good surgeon. God be my help.

I also have been wearing my hair in twists for the last 3 days. I'm liking how I look. I'm not trying to please anyone but, myself. The people of other races here don't know what to think and keep telling me  how good I looked in that wig. Oh well.
I ordered a texturizer kit, gel and black castor oil for my hair. I will do my hair on wednesday. God willing. My hair has really grown and it will be so nice and long when I do it on wednesday. I'm so excited, really excited.I have 3-4 inches of new growth. I'll try to keep wearing it in twists or my two twists on the top f my head. We'll see. I'm encouraged. I feel that I'm pretty good looking with the twists. I mean I see other women here doing nothing with their hair and most them have thin hair too. I just don't care anymore. I love myself just like I am.

I am doing lo carb and feel pretty good but, I still making excuses to eat wrong. Tomorrow is another day but, I'm going to make it

I'm doing a prayer challenge next week. one hour or more of prayer per day. God I need you to help me through all of this I pray in Jesus name.

Tomorrow is my birthday.....62 years young

This last 5 months have been crazy, real crazy. First ended the year in horrific pain, as my back was going crazy with pain.I wound up going 3 time to the hospital. Was admitted on Feb. 7, 2014. After the hospital and a diagnosis of spinal stenois ( a narrowing of the spine, for which I required no surgery, Thank God. I was just reading of a athlete who had to have surgery for the same condition. Glad that I dodged that bullet.

I'm now in a care center awaiting a total knee replacement, without which I cannot go home.I've met all my markers except the weight loss of 35 pounds. I lost 9.1 pounds already. But, since the last the I saw my orthopedic surgeon,  had gained 8.1 pounds from being on prednisone, So, I now still have 34 pounds to lose before being scheduled for surgery. So,after I lose the remaining weight, I'll be scheduled for surgery about a month or two later. So, looks like I'll be here for awhile.

Today Maribel,Emelissa and little Emmie came to visit me and brought me early birthday gifts. A matching bag, pen, journal, kwiws, strawberries and other fruits.
We had a nice visit and I was so happy.

Today, I made fruit protein shakes. I mean I have got to lose this weight and lose it fast. I made a shake for lunch and after lunch I had a granola bar and dark chocolate bar and peanuts and ice cream. So, now its 6 pm and I'm drinking my other shake. It's all kool. I'm trying and I'll get it right. God is blessing me already and I feel His blessings on me. I mean for them to bring strawberries and other fruit for me is a good sign. I divided the strawberries into my fruit bags in the freezer. So, I have more fruit to put in my shakes.
