Goodness life just goes by so fast and before I blink I realize that I haven't been by in a couple of days. I went into work yesterday (I don't usually work Fridays) it's been just crazy busy, I don't know where all these patients come from sometimes. Many of our new patients this week had mental health issues on top of their surgeries and so needed lots of extra TLC.
I left work early yesterday and went for my preop appointment for my laser eye surgery
Everything looks good and I'm schedule for next Friday. My biggest concern is that I can't workout for a few days
Our insurance is paying 100% coverage so DH says if my surgery goes well then he'll get his eyes done as well.
Such an emotional start to the Olympics! SO so sad about the Georgia athlete. Oh my goodness what a terrible thing. The Georgian team looked like they were all on the verge of tears when they marched in last night, how brave of them. What did you all think of the opening ceremonies? I think Canada did a nice job!
Everyone was very excited that it was Gretzky lighting the torch! What a mob scene following him in the streets afterwards. I switched back and forth between the Canadian and American coverage as it was interesting listening to the American views of Canada. NBC did a very nice piece on the close relationship between the 2 countries. Later they were talking about how important it was for us to win the men's hockey gold and our love of curling. So they seem to know us well! This country will come to an absolute standstill if our men's hockey plays for gold.
I've been keeping up with my workouts even though it's been often late at night!
Rachael Sounds like you enjoy the snow. Kind of fun when you only get the occasional snow fall. You guys got quite a bit of snow! I had to giggle at everyone running to the grocery store. LOL Oh we have lots of snow here, my front yard is probably 3-5 feet high. Higher where we dump the snow from the driveway. It's out Jo's way that there is a lack of snow, the west coast has had a warm winter hopefully the Olympics will manage okay.
Jo It's going to be a long rehab for your DH! I'm sure he will get frustrated by the length of time. So many of my patients have no idea how like it will take and get frustrated at the slow speed. So much of healing is time. He might want to look at some assistive devices for one handed use so that he can be more independent for the next few months. Lots of little gadgets that would help him get dressed, brush teeth, open cans/ jars, cut meat, tie shoelaces etc one handed. His therapist would know what I was talking about. The recipe you posted looks good! I will have to look at that as I have lots of sausage in my freezer from when it was on sale. I don't have the sausage you mentioned as it's an American brand.
Cendrien I'm so sorry that you back is giving you more trouble! What does the chiro have to say? Have you had your family doctor have a look at it? Hope your enjoying your time with all the new homeschooling supplies? Were the kids excited to see all of it too? I did lose another lb, so 4 down. Very slow and steady with this bad thyroid of mine.
Well today is hockey, swimming and piano. But will get legs in and abs since I skipped it yesterday. Saturday is always busy for us but it's a long weekend for us!!! Monday is Louis Riel day so it's a holiday for everyone. I wouldn't mind going back to some of the show homes over the weekend but they might be close some of the days due to the holiday. We're meeting again with the real estate agent (about selling our house) on Tuesday evening. He'll give us some advice on what things we should do on our house before we sell it.
