Elle,

What happened with the problems with the hospital? Did our advice help?

I'm so glad she is doing better. I know my stepmother who had brain surgery for

the bleed in Jan is fussing about the doc not letting her drive. She has no

memory of anything that happened while in the hospital, which the neuro guy

says is a blessing. Must be freaky to wake up nine days later with a bandage on

your head and no recollection of anything that happened.

Elle,

I am so glad that your mom is on the mend and that you got to be with

her. You will cherish this time you have with her and remember it

and be glad you were able to be there. I will continue prayers for

your mom and you, my friend

God Bless

hey turk....

good to hear from you..... im happy to see that you didnt have any

health troubles over the holidays..

me either.... i did cut the amiodarone from 400 to 200 a

day/. everthing i read says that drug is a death sentence in itself. im

hoping to stop taking it after next cardio visit....

as far as the hips go......... ive retired the wheelchair and the walker

and im now using a cane when im outside and no aid at all to walk around my

apartment. i get a bit stronger every day... i cant walk very far yet

but each day the chalk mark is a bit furthur a way.

on a personal note,,,, i went to the spca and adopted a 6 month old

mutt. a really smart terrier, jackrussel, and beagle mix. his name is

jessejames... and he wears a kerchief, working on the cowboy hat,

sunglasses and sidearms.....hahahahha

i also got rid of the little pickup truck i bought a year and a half

ago.... i went out and came home with a great big powerful chevy

silverado. its patriotic blue and i just love my truck.... you all

know a pickup truck is just an extension of a

mans..................................

i found out yesterday that the governer of mississippi lost his mansion to

a fire...in fact they lost the entire trailer park.... and they have

raised the drinking age to 32 in an attempt at keeping alcohol out of the

shcools.....and one more new law.....when i a couple divorces in

mississippi they are permitted to remain as brogher and sister..

love to all,,,,,,, hope i made someone smile today....

>good for you gail....

so glad to hear that david is up and walking.... i know what you mean

about the meds...... i take 12 am and 7 pm

i dont even try to take them all separately or at the time

specified.... i just take them when i get up and a bit before i go to

bed.... seems to work okay..... i noticed during my often hospital stays

that they dont ever conform to the times.... ive had them come in and

give me my water pills at 1 am.... go figure....

seeeee ya

Sorry the same email went out three times. Not sure why. Gail nice to see you guys are doing better. Say hi to the ol'man. Stay well. Love TURKGail & <charade799@...> wrote:

is having some problems with a cold! First time in yrs we went out to a family type get together and he hasn't been out in a group in yrs. Oh well. His meds have all been readjusted. I am back on full meds (great to get the mind together hehe). The only bad part is I have a hard time setting up his meds as he is back up to 10. His coreg was cut in half so we split the pill and sometimes I get confused. His weight is up and down - must ask dr about that. But the 3 lead is doing a great job! He is up and walking, looking forward to getting out this spring.

I'm still teaching my abs classes and my Pilates classes (just doing

the right side on the leg movements), but I've had to sub out my ball

classes and kids classes. So I'm still doing something, but not as

much as I want to.

Hi Tonya,

Good to hear from you! I know with school starting it makes everything hectic, I know I done it for 18 years myself, thanks God it's over now.

Maybe once things slow down a bit you can get back on track.

Have a safe holiday weekend.

[Guest guest]

I hear you Tonya. I have been working 65+hours for the past month. I havent had a chance to post at all!WE CAN DO THIS!!As long as the day lasts, let's give it all we've got.- O. McKayFrom: Tonya - [mailto: mslightning@...] , CatheFans Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 09:40:01 -0400Subject: Just checking inHey all, I know I've been pretty quite lately. I've been totally swamped, but I am reading email even if I don't have time to respond. Between the taping we did a couple of weeks ago, editing those tapes, getting my kids started in school, and working extra hours while I'm trying to find a new staff member at the gym, I have been totally slacking off on my workouts. I've taught my classes and hopped on the treadmill or circuit once in a while, but I haven't made it to lift anything heavy in like 2 weeks. Believe me, my back is telling me about it too. I have hired someone, but it will be a couple of weeks before she is trained so I don't have to be there with her while she is working. So it will be at least that long before I get to go back to a normal schedule, and my normal workouts. So if you don't hear from me for a bit, it's because I'm working 60 hours a week and I'll be back as soon as I'm back down to my normal 40. Hope you all have some great workouts (make up for some of the ones I'm missing!) Tonya
