[Guest guest]

Hi Picasso,

I am feeling a bit better today. I think I may be overdoing it with

my work schedule and trying to keep up with the daily routine of

things. Tomorrow I am only working 3 hours and then on Thursday I

will be taking off early for my OS appt. They approved me for 60

hours of donated leave at work which is nice because it gives me

leave to take off for these post op appts.

I dread the school shopping scene with my girl's. They are now in

the teen years and shopping with them is a chore..(haha) I miss the

younger years when I could dress them how I wanted. They are still

in Louisiana and will be coming home on the weekend of the 20th.

That will be my first road trip because we are meeting my parents in

Tennessee to pick them up.

I am not sure if I have my OS approval or not to head back to the

gym. He did say light exercises like walking, so I thought the bike

would be okay since I was doing nothing but moving my legs. I will

probably wait till Thursday to see what he says about returning

before I head back. It would be nice to tone up all this weight I

have lost.

Sounds like your stretching exercises are paying off. Keep up the

good work. My OS is going to give me exercises this week so I can

open my mouth wider. It is getting a little better each week, but I

still have a ways to go. I am wondering tomorrow when I go see my

internist how I am going to open wide enough for him to check my

throat. I'll worry about that tomorrow..(haha)

Anyway, picasso, as always it is great to chat with you! I will let

you know how my OS appt. goes on Thursday.

Angelina..(haha)
