Seems there was a disagreement between Tony’s surgeon and Tony’s cardiologist on how many milligrams of coumadin he should be taking – we though they should have bumped it up to 10 mg to get his INR number up – but we think he was only given 3.5, which is 1.5 lower than his regular dose! So some words were said, and even though Tony...

Still waiting for Tony’s INR number to get up to 2.0 before they can let him go.  The surgery isn’t slowing his release, just his blood thinner. 🙁  The only good news is that he isn’t in too much pain – he hasn’t used his PCA machine since Tuesday! I am sure he’s bored out of his mind and can’t wait to get home to...

I had to go back to work yesterday so I went to visit Tony before work.  I told him to call me if he wanted to during the day and that I’d carry my cell phone with me so if I was at the copier for a while, he could get a hold of me.  He said he didn’t want to use the phone with...

I got to the hospital around 8:00 a.m.  I like to get there before the doctor does his morning rounds.  Tony’s incision looks great – looks just like my c-section scar!  He was so tired yesterday, he basically cat napped during the day.  It’s hard to get rest in the hospital – it has to be the nosiest place on earth, people talking loudly in...

Thanks for all your well wishes yesterday!  For some reason I can read your comments and blogs, but can’t comment on a lot of them for some reason – weird! We had to be at the hospital at 7:15 for his 8:30 surgery.  They took Tony in first and said they would come get me in a few minutes once he was in his pre-op room. ...

A friend of mine invited a few people over for yappy hour last night.  I was only going to stay “for a couple.”  I looked at the clock and it was like 7:30 and I still had Chex mix to make last night. Next thing I know it’s 10:30!  I had no idea it had gotten so late, that I had so many glasses of...

I am usually really on top of gift giving every year – but we are on a tight budget this year so I really need to think a bit harder.  My brother, sister and Tony’s family just decided to do family gift boxes, i.e. mostly homemade stuff.  This year I decided to make caramel corn, but added in chopped bacon – holy shizz – I made...

Whenever I announce to Tony that I am going to get up to go to the gym, I think he thinks in the back of his head “I’ll believe it when I see it!”  But I like that motivation.  I’ve said it before my husband thinks I am beautiful right now at 160 pounds, just as much as he loved me when I got up...

This weekend went by in the blink of an eye!  I had a party on Friday night, my fitness test at the gym Saturday morning. twin fest yesterday.  It was a blur! Yesterday when I woke up I felt thinner.  I have no idea why, but I contemplated getting on my Zero Scale yesterday morning but decided not to because Monday is my WI day....

January 1st is a mere 27 days away!  Now is the time that I have to work extra hard so I don’t eat my way through the holidays.  How are you doing on the 2011 Holiday Challenge? I have my meal plan in place, and have some good eats coming up – I am trying a thai curry butternut squash soup, Italian stuffed zucchini boats, salsa...
