When I got to the hospital yesterday morning, Tony was sleeping.  I didn’t want to wake him so I let him sleep another 30 minutes.  He woke up and saw me and said “please wake me when you get here – I don’t want miss any time with you.” 😀  (best line EVER!) The mornings at the hospital are a flurry of activity – between...

While I am sure Tony wishes he was already busted out of the hospital by now, he is doing really well, and his surgeon is very happy with his progress.  No one has made mention of when he is coming home, but Tony and I have been down this road before.  As I’ve said time just stands still at a hospital, so we go in...

After a roller coaster month, and Tony’s colon cancer surgery last Tuesday, on Friday we received the best news we could have possibly have gotten.  I wasn’t there when the oncologist came to see Tony, but basically he said “we took out all the cancer and I see no reason for you to do chemo.”  Hallelujah!  Prayers from relatives, friends and all of your positive...

After having this for breakfast every day this week: And hospital WW entrees like this one – baked ziti with steamed broccoli – 6 WW Points: I needed real food.  I spent the day with Tony – he’s super tired and unfortunately very nauseous.  See that plate of ziti?  I asked him if it would be okay to bring my lunch back up since he’s...

I got home from the hospital last night and I just was drained.  It’s hard to believe how not doing much can be so tiring!  Some days I’ve gotten up at 6:00 a.m., gone swimming, then to work, then worked out at lunch, work some more and then come home and make dinner, and I am more tired today than that type of day. Tony...

Tony’s surgery was scheduled at 7:30 a.m yesterday morning., so I told him I would be there at 6:30.  I was running a couple minutes late, trying to get the dog outside since we would be gone for several hours.  He never did go outside, damn dog. Hannah and I are half way to the hospital when he called and said that they were taking...

We had to check Tony into the hospital around 9:00 yesterday morning.  Tony suggested we get McDonald’s on the way, as we were pretty sure he was going to be on a clear liquid diet relatively soon.  I was a good girl and ordered the oatmeal 😀 We were a direct admit, so we got to his room alright.  And then we waited.  And waited. ...

I liked that I changed BSI in that you can use archived recipes to submit each week – I know there are some weeks when all of a sudden I realize its Sunday and I haven’t submitted anything yet.  So imagine my surprise when I went looking to see what I could submit this week – vanilla.  Guess what?  I couldn’t find any!! Luckily I...

I wanted to cut and paste Tony’s comment yesterday in case you didn’t see it: Mr. Biz (Tony) says: February 10, 2011 at 8:43 pm(Edit) I cry during important things. I cry when Rudy sacks the QB, and when Jimmy Stewart comes home and his family knows him. I cried when the stupid packers won the stupid Superbowl (dammit). I cried when my son was...

When I menu planned last week, I kinda skipped over what I was making for breakfast, so I relied on the cafe in our building.  This sandwich was half of what they gave me, I ended up eating 1 1/2 with this bowl of fruit – I guestimated 11 points? Wednesday is my rest day, so no workout.  I ended up eating leftover beef stew,...
