Day at the Doctor's

I went back to the Dr today for the results of my blood test...As I expected weight was down 3 lbs to 225, blood pressure up 146/82, Cholesterol 239...Not the worst not the best
Neck and right arm still aches and is always numb from 3 bad discs in my neck...and 4 in my lower back, right knee has has torn whatever you call it and has now developed a Baker's cyst.. Worsening of bladder prolapse and other things I can't remember the name of.
Let me think......Seems a little overwhelming huh? BUT! not impossible to turn things around. Right???   Now let's break this down and think about this. All I have to do is:

1. Lose 90 lbs by dieting intensely giving up the only comfort that keeps me sane

2. Walk daily at a joggers pace (on a bad knee)

3. And last but not least change my depressive attitude!!! 

All of this before I have:

1. An operation to repair the disc that is pinching nerve in my neck

2. Another operation to repair the torn whatever and remove the cyst from my right knee,

3. Then have a hysterectomy with badder repair.


Looks like the next year's calendar is full of exciting engagements..(sigh)

I think I'll take a nap before I get started..............

The Pardo Five

My niece Laura Pardo and her family are selling everything and leaving San Diego to go on a world tour of Europe for a whole year!

Some may think that is crazy but me I think it is the adventurer in all of us that will be traveling along with them...we are just too scared to admit it.
 Imagine England, France, Italy, Greece and more....I will be anxiously following their every move and waiting eagerly for every mere tidbit of information.

The whole family will each have their separate blogs so I will be able to get a good picture of what is going on with each of them...I'm so excited and I just can't hide it ..I'm about to lose control and I think I like it (that's a song isn't it) Oh well I guess you can tell I wish it were me!
