Today I did two Cathe Live workouts, Step Sweat and Rock It Sock It. I modified both to low impact and have to take breaks and add in back stretches. Good workouts everyone and again thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Two Cathe Live workouts again today, Step Sweat and Rock It Sock It. I again modified both to low impact and added in extra stretches. Eating has been on track. Have a great day!

Diane Sue, he had thyroid cancer over 20 years ago. He underwent surgery, radiation and all that. We did not know until this last week that he was ill. He did not tell anyone and has been hiding it. He called my DH and the other brother and told them he was saying goodbye and putting his affairs...

Belinda, thank you. No, this has been so much at once. There has been no time to recover from one thing to the next. Again, thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Two workouts today, I did Cathe Live, Get Steppin and Step On It. I had to pause between combos and add in extra back stretches (I have a chronic back issue). It was really acting up. Eating has been on point the last two days. Good job on your workout. Keep at it.

Today I did two Cathe Lives, Get Steppin and Step On It. My back is still acting up quite a bit. I had to pause between combos and add in extra back stretches. Still have been avoiding lifting too heavy. Even taking just the garbage out this morning was too heavy for it. I'm keeping it low...

Shereta, I'll check in with you. Long time Cathlete here, but have fallen off the wagon here for the last few months. My mom had to have a hip replacement, then she broke the femur on that leg, then a revised hip replacement with plates and screws to hold the femur together. I've been handling...

Over the past two weeks in between our various crisises, I worked on cleaning out a portion of the basement. Was finally done yesterday and was able to move the mattress off my puzzle mats. (By the way, there is plenty of other spots in the basement, but DH's business is in part of it, and his...

Quick update. Mom is still bad. She is in a state where she just yells at my dad and me. We don't love her, everyone is mean to her, she is going to run away, etc. Yesterday she got made at me because she told me that she had gained 161 pounds. I kept trying to tell her that 161 pounds is what...

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Just a quick update. Mom had her hip replacement revision surgery + the plates to hold her leg together yesterday. She is not coming out of the anesthesia. She is delirius. The nurses say not to panic. That this does happen after major surgeries, elderly, loss of blood (she did have to have...

Diane Sue, that is it exactly. It has become an assembly line or as you said just a name in the computer. No one has ever called to check on my mom. They only call after I call and leave messages. When I had my last back surgery I was still working. The insurance company kept sending me huge...

Diane Sue, I just don't understand why they weren't following through with my mom. I can be polite but no nonsense with medical people. I have no medical training, but just good old fashioned common sense and I knew something was very wrong. And that is when I called and would not take no for an...

I'm so glad my parents listened to me about not leaving the nursing home/rehab center. Two weeks ago was when my mom went to the emergency room. Finally got the results from the Mri and it showed she has a broken femur. She had X-rays at the hospital, they didn't see it and neither did her...

Belinda, I'm so sorry to hear about the shooting. Is the person who was shot going to make to be okay? From your post, the driver was the shooter? The shooter is in custody? My thought and prayers are with you.

Hello ladies, so mom was able to finally lie still for the mri, hope to have the results back in the next couple of days. On wait there. My parents were planning on checking out of the facility again, and I had to convince them to stay until we get these results back. I haven't brought up that...

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Just more continuing drama here. You always hear that at a certain point there is a role reversal with your parents. It has officially happened. I am so stressed out. Today mom has decided that she must have cancer. The woman she shares a bedroom with has...

So I got mom moved into a nursing home/rehab facility today. The doctor thinks she pulled a groin muscle. She is in severe pain. She of course, didn't really want to go, but every night she wants to go to the hospital because of the pain. She keeps asking me to come take care of her, but I've...

Hello ladies, my illness started up my IBS again. I usually have it under control (had to give up wheat and anything from cow's milk due to allergies, along with not eating meat). Whenever I get the flu or go on antibiotics, it kicks in again for a while. I was getting ready all day again to go...

Today DH and I went for a long walk. Not too long after, I got sick again, so still not recovered. Will try another walk tomorrow if the weather is good. Want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th!
