Sherillynn's Notizen, 07 Jan 17

My FIL came through his valve replacement with flying colors. Since they didn't have to crack open his chest, he actually gets to come home today. I am amazed. He told my husband last night that he was enjoying just laying in his hospital bed and not feeling like he was going to die. No pain and no shortness of breath.

He isn't a complainer so I hadn't realized he felt that horrible.

I continue to struggle with water. I don't have many cravings and I've been staying on track. Measuring is also helpful. I haven't always done that but it eliminates the guesswork.

Another day of subzero Arctic tundra weather so I am going to the fitness center to walk.

Yesterday, the birds had been in our little birdbath and one of them landed on a metal glider chair on our deck. His foot froze to the arm of it. I was able to dump a little warm water on the arm of the chair and free him before my dog saw him. Poor little guy was terrified but I was so glad to be in the right place at the right time.

Stay warm and blessings to all.
