It's almost June ... Where does the time fly?

It's taken me quite a bit of time to get back to Sparking but I've cleared my plate of much recent stress and it's time to lose that which I gained... and the 10lbs I didn't lose the first time. Wish me luck.

January 30, 2013

The month was gone in a heartbeat. E is back at work and doing amazingly well. We have to be happy that she still has a leg to stand on, even though it is painful and looks awful.

I am on new medications for this heart blockage and am not allowed to get my heart rate much above 110. I've got a Polar heart monitor and use it when I'm on the stationary bike 30 minutes a day/ 5 times a week. I'm not doing very well at loosing weight or maintaining. I've rediscovered my love of sweet things and have put on nearly 10 lbs since last summer.

However... one can only go forward and there I am going.

Hugs all round.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope it rocks for you and yours.

Egads, how did it get to be 2013? How come we are not flying cars and taking holidays to the rings of Saturn? Why is there still poverty, violence and corruption? Were we not responsible for getting rid of all that? The future that once seemed so far away is now here and I'm rather underwhelmed!

Anyways, it's the first of the year and I'm pushing aside all the holiday food and drinks and plan to get serious about loosing that last 10 lbs, plus the 15lbs I put on since last June when E was diagnosed with cancer. (25 lbs at .5 lbs/wk means goal by next Christmas) E is now doing great, except for the limp and pain, and next week she returns to work for the first time since June. As far as cancer, we hope they "got it all."

Lots of new stuff in my life, a new car (2013 Santa Fe) a new passion for the ukulele, a new clear cut patch in the garden that needs tending, and, are your ready for this.... a heart disease I never knew I had until I complained about chest pain after trying to keep up with the 20 year olds in Zumba. Sheesh. I'm not allowed to get my heart rate above 110 until this gets fixed. Apparently, it's hereditary and explains why my maternal grandmother and mother died of heart issues at a young age. Looks like surgery soon and more drugs for the rest of my life. Better living through chemistry, eh? ;)

Despite all that I've been very cheery lately. I'm learning to play Norwegian Wood on my uke, and it's been easy to find silver clouds from behind the wheel of a new car. And who cares if it doesn't fly?!

Hugs all round. Go rock your year!

Happy Election Day USA ... Hope you make it a good one and vote obama!

On this side of the news we have ended stage one. Eileen's cancer treatment is over. Six months of what would be considered torture by some standards, but it's the best science has to offer to cure Eileen's rare fibrosarcoma.

They don't say it's cured ... but the treatment is over, they think they may have it all... but cancer is tricky. Healing from the bruising will take a year... a little better everyday. Now, after the next months of rehab, it's a lifetime of waiting to see if the cancer returns. That is an adjustment, no matter how you look at it.

Being that I love this woman I was there for every appointment and procedure. It was stressful but we did it and we didn't fall apart doing it. And, there are so many stories to tell about the past six months.

Now, six months and five pounds upward later, I am getting back on the health wagon. Begone stressful days, good meaning neighbourly muffins, cookies and pies. Begone restaurants and cafeterias galore, begone not giving a care beyond getting through the day.

It's 1500 cals and 10000 steps ahead.

hugs to all

Cody

Home again ... Eileen is on the road to recovery. Of course there are many tests and more to get through but we hope the worst of it is over. The healing will take about 6 weeks and then another couple of months to learn to walk again, but the cancer is hopefully gone.

I am having heart tests. Today I'm wearing a holter monitor. It is so uncomfortable and I can't believe I have to sleep with this thing. Anyways...

Despite everything that has gone on in the past four months my weight remains at 129. I'm hoping now I can once again begin to kick the last 14 pounds to the curb. Stationary bike... here I come, again.


Sep 25, 2012

Location: Jean C Barber Cancer Lodge, Vancouver, BC
My partner's cancer still sucks. Surgery to remove the adductor muscles of her left thigh was last Friday. She was discharged yesterday, we hope to return home to Victoria on Thursday.
I am trying to keep my stress levels down to a dull roar, but it isn't easy. Logging in to SP for the past week or more has been impossible due to the lack of time. Cancer consumes everything; time, money, smiles and patience. Once this is over I could write a book about the false hopes and lies, about the tragedy of it all and about the courage and strength found deep within.

I am barely getting in 10000 steps each day, most of that is pacing, and sad to say there is so much food everywhere that it's hard not to use it for comfort.

Tomorrow will better.


Aug 3, 2012

The heat has settled in, summer is finally here. My partner finishes 25 radiation treatments to the fibrosarcoma in her upper thigh next Tuesday. I was there for each one. Now, we relax and await surgery in Vancouver the week of Sep 10th. Cancer is one of those things that consumes life, for now there is no escape.

The sun is shining, the flowers are in bloom, the hummers visit and are so tame, they are lovely to see up close and personal.

I am so stalled at 130ish. Not sure how I'm going to get the scale going downward again but for now I'm happy that I'm not gaining.


June 14, 2012

The past few weeks have been a blur of shock and awe. Read my June 13 blog. In brief, cancer struck my partner and, after being told it wasn't the big C and could never be the big C, well, now we have a battle in our life and suddenly it's all about the percentages.

SPwise - my calories are under 1500/dy and I'm hanging in at the 130lb mark. Total weight loss in 10 months 37 pounds. About 1 pound per week. Dr wants to see another 15 lbs gone!! Unfortunately, with everything else going on, I have not had a good sweat on in almost 3 weeks. This is bad. It's some kind of a wall I've hit. bah. However, my joints feel better without all that activity stress, so that's good... but still I need those endorphins! I'm fussing in the garden and still getting 8-9,000 steps per day, but not recording daily distances so much. I'll get the highway updated, just not today. There is much else to get together today.

........ some INTRO history .........

At 58 and I have Grave's Disease (autoimmune thyrotoxicosis), Fybromyalgia AND Ehlers-Danlos. It's all a lot of pain and management and I can easily become a bucket of valid excuses.

Today, May 6th, 2012, I need to loose at least 10 more pounds. I restarted SP at 167 lbs last August, then lost 30 lbs between September and February. I felt great but now I'm stuck.


I love to move, but I get too enthusiastic and then I get hurt. Finding just the right level of activity to keep my joints healthy is a constant challenge ... mostly walking things and some dancing things, but I shouldn't be dancing too much. I have discovered Zumba, I love it, but I need to keep it modified so as not to injure my compromised connective tissue.

So, here I am, getting the SP thing, almost always positive, looking forward to new challenges, new friends, and an adventure in being good to myself.
