Really sad, bad day today.

Bless your heart. I'm sorry. Consider yourself hugged. Will say prayers for you and your family right now. God Bless you all. Sandy

I think it's lovely! I love those colors & that pattern!!!

If I have a high INR, I have a large chance of internal bleeding. If my INR is too low, I risk another blood clot. It is a fine balance.

Oh goodness!! That has got to be extremely hard to deal with. I will be praying for you.
Thank you for explaining it to me.

I survived a "sudden death" embolism and more than 30 blood clots in my lungs. That I am alive today is a miracle from God.

oh wow! praise God that you made it ...now I understand the quote in your siggy.

Hopefully as the weeks progress I will end up less sore.

I did Sittercize? and was exhausted after half the tape...know what you mean. I am doing some oxigenator machine now..have to start slow I am so out of shape.

Keep wheeling!!

I am not giving up even if I am so sore and tired! I really want to lose this weight and doing what I have to do is very important to me.

Missy

Good for you!!!! I guess the soreness means it's working! I'm doing the Wii Active 2 & you should hear me pant & moan & yell at the TV. Each day is a different group of muscles targeted & I have felt muscles that I forgot that I had. BUT I will have a flat tummy again someday~ maybe not soon but 'someday'.

I bought the sitercise exercise DVD from Amazon this morning. It is an exercise program for people in wheelchairs. I am not in a wheelchair but struggle with walking for a long distance (outside of the pool) and standing for a long time. I am hoping this DVD will help me get more exercise and ultimately lose more weight.

Someone here mentioned it yesterday and that is how I heard about it. Who ever you are that mentioned it...THANK YOU!

I've been using a similar DVD for a couple of months. It has really helped my breathing when I do walk outside of the house. I didn't mention it, but you made a great choice in my mind. When is your surgery?
