The FastDay Forum

Thanks Phyllis @MountainMyst and sorry to hear you've bean having such a bad time. Hope things will start to improve now. Your band aids remind me of my nursing days. I used to love the minor injury side of things. I do remember somebody leaving my treatment room with a little white cross on their nose. Well there wasn't much else I could do, so I tried to make them look as stylish as possible!

Take care my little chickadees!

Bean

Nice to see you here @MountainMyst ! we were wondering how you were.
Sorry the last few weeks have been a bit hairy with the plumbing!Rib pain sounds horrible too,ditto the biopsies..Hope things are on the up from now on ! you could do with a few nice things happening for a change x x
Hey,You guys will understand where i am coming from with this..
Had booked to take my chappie for a meal tonight ( his bday tomorrow)
Am feeling v v tired after lovely but exhausting visit from DD and hub.
Anyway was staying chipper about tonight but secretly dreading it..then boyf rung to say he had " only" had six hours sleep last night and felt " fuzzy"... I suggested we went for lunch instead and he was delighted...so lunch has been eaten ( too many cals consumed but delicious)
Now home alone,he coming round tomoz to open cards and pressies..
Bliss,twiddling my toes,in PJs,feeling soooooo glad i can stay home and get some early zeds( hopefully) x x

I get the feeling you're in heaven there, Candice, with your pjs! It's such bliss when you're exhausted and can't bear the thought of going out, then your plans are cancelled and you can relax. Mind you, sounds as though you've had a super lunch!

Enjoy tomorrow

Bean

Hi beaniebobs yep lunch was lovely
Too many goodies between daughter home for a few days and now Beau's bday..will be back to normal Monday.
Isnt it funny how we sorta look forward to getting back to fasting? I wdnt say i am the biggest fan of fast days..some are quite difficult...but i really like how i feel after a fast x x

So what you mean is, it's not the fast you look forward to, it's the day after!!

Bean

Yeh i guess so! XX
Wish could have the day after without the day before!x

Now home alone,he coming round tomoz to open cards and pressies..

Take care @MountainMyst, wishing for better things for you! x

Hi all, Bean, know what you mean about trying to dress things up. I should have bought some nifty bandaids. LOL.

Candice, so glad your fella cancelled. poor thing only 6 hrs sleep. LOL. I can so relate to wanting to do something and dreading the physical exertion at the same time. glad you are all snuggled up and comfy. my hubby had his 65th birthday on Thurs. we made pizza and cookies, far too many calories, but we enjoyed it. glad you had a good visit with your family.

thanks callyanna, I'm recovering ok. just taking it easy today recovering from my physical therapy.

thank you all for being so caring and supportive. I promise to try and be here more often and return the caring support. Phyllis

Just popping in to say hello and hope you're all ok. I seem to have come on this site when everyone is either enjoying Sunday lunch or just plain snoozing!

Me? Well I'm apparently the only one fasting today!

Bean

Hi Bean, hope your fasting day is going well and you are having a yummy supper about now. Hope you are safe and dry where you are.

not fasting today, our days are Tues. and Fri. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to normal around here. we think that the fasting MIGHT be helping, it's slow, but heck, it's improvement.

wishing everyone a good week, stay safe y'all. Phyllis

Hi @MountainMyst glad you feel the fasting helps
I have love / hate r/ ship with fasting,but i did find even early on,when i hadnt even lost any weight yet,my dizziness improved ...i am more confident outdoors now coz i don't feel so much i am going to fall
Its not really dizziness,more a feeling the ground is coming up towards me
Feel a bit disorientated and sometimes not quite sure where i am putting my feet..and thats without having had a drink!
Have you experienced this Phyllis and@nursebean
....and a sort of hand/ eye co ordination prob? can mean i go to take something from a cupboard but i actually pick up what is next to what i wanted..

Good morning !X
.. some peeps havent been on here for a while..
Wondering how @crackers who started the thread is..
Also @lizchuter @lee22 @pumpkin42 and @chingola havent written on here for a while...hope you are doing well xox

Ah thanks for the mention, I had a foot op three weeks ago and came down with a horrible cold right after so been trying to build myself up again to start the 5.2 as really entitled the two weeks I done.
I'm hoping next week to do it as you all no having ME and cold or operation can knock you right back.
How are you doing and thanks for noticing I've not been around xx

Good to hear from you Lee!
Surgery can knock the stuffing out of you so take care of yrself and give yrself time to recover x..

Hi CandiceMarie, I do know what you mean about disorientation. I have days that I list to the left all day. I use a cane when I'm outside, has prevented me from falling a lot. I also have the coordination problems, banging into things, missing what I'm reaching for, etc. lots of my dishes have chips from me banging them together. I think I need to get plastic dishes.

Lee, so good to "see" you. sorry to hear about the surgery and cold on top of it. glad you are taking care of yourself! next week is plenty soon enough to fast. yes this illness WILL make things difficult after medical procedures. hope you are soon feeling much better.

sending wishes for a great day for all. Phyllis
