A quick update as my week has been full of ups and downs.
Three deaths this week. My friend’s husband, a classmate from high school and my brother-in-law’s mom… Grandma Rosie. Today is her memorial and I’m looking forward to seeing extended family.
My son fell last week and cut his knee on a piece of glass. He had sudden onset of fever and pain at work late Saturday night. He was admitted at 230 a.m. and was in surgery at 8 a.m. He went back into surgery last night due to his temperature being 104.6. The surgeon seems to think it is strep and that if they don’t get it under control, he may lose his leg. This is a NIGHTMARE! I ask that everyone keep him in their thoughts and prayers.
On a happier note… I had a lovely bike ride with Natalie on Sunday after church (11 kms) and then had the kids and grandkids over for dinner before heading up to see Nick.

Ribs in the crockpot… they were yummy!
Weight: 166 – Saturday was a BAD food day… shamefully bad, although gluten free. I’m working on it. I’m really working on not comfort eating. I’m hoping for a better week!
Ciao!

I am praying for Nick.
You’ll get back on track. I have no trouble with remaining Gluten free…. but oh those carbs sneak up on me. xoxo
I hear ya! I’ve had two attack days, so I’m pretty happy about that… praying to get through 4 days.
Let’s hope for better news today!
