Oops! Fell off the wagon!

Sorry for not updating the blog yesterday...we had a free day and I got out of my routine. Good news...I actually had a dinner partner last night. Jules got dressed, came downstairs and ate a little salad, orange roughy, and rice....I told my husband that it was a little bit on my eating scale but a lot on Julie's. I was really proud of her. She looked so good yesterday evening, I took a couple of photos which I will try to share when I get home (the computers do not have a slot for the photo card). I even took one with her modeling her new bag! We were very fortunate, there was a cancellation at the resort so she can stay here til at least next Thursday. We went to the hospital this morning to take care of a few administrative issues and Julie got really tired after about 15 mins. Fatigue is a huge issue and seemed to be getting a little better. She has nothing scheduled today (we were back here by 9:00) so we are hoping she can get some rest and we can do a short trip to Walmart. We have a running list and she wants to go but if is not up to it, I will do it myself. The hospital provides a shuttle that runs to Walmart several times in the afternoon. I'll let you know later today how everything goes. Keep your fingers crossed.

  1. Glad everything is going okay. I miss you lots.
    Sounds like Rockwood to me. Going to the Walmart is my weekly adventure.
    Take care. Love you both. Jan

  2. Good for her! Going to eat and perhaps going to Walmart...Well, that sounds great.
    Read to her this next joke,
    "A man goes out and buys the best car available in the US or Europe, a 2001 Turbo BeepBeep. It is the best and most expensive car in the world, and it runs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and, while doing so, stops for a red light. An old man on a moped, both looking about 90 years old, pulls up next to him.

    The old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?".

    The dude replies "A 2001 Turbo BeepBeep. They cost $500,000."

    "That's a lotta money!" says the old man, shocked. "Why does it cost so much?"

    "Cause this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the cool dude proudly.

    The old man asks "Can I take a look inside?"

    "Sure" replies the owner.

    So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Leaning back on his moped, the old man says "That's a pretty nice car, alright!"

    Just then the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 320. Suddenly, the guy notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer!

    Whhhoooooooooossssshhhhhh! Something whips by him! Going maybe three times as fast!

    The guy wonders "what on earth could be going faster than my Turbo BeepBeeP?" Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him.

    Whooooooooooosh! Goes by again! And, it almost looked like the old man on the moped! Couldn't be thinks the guy. How could a moped outrun a Turbo BeepBeep? Again, he sees a dot in his rearview mirror!

    WhoooooooshhhhhhhhKa-BbbbblaMMMMM! It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end.

    The guy jumps out and discovers it is the old man! Of course, the moped and the old man are hurting for certain. The guy runs up to the dying old man and asks "You're hurt bad! Is there anything I can do for you?"

    The old man replies "Yeah. Unhook my suspenders from the side-view mirror on your car!"
