okay i have managed to crawl in here 2 update.

 this will have 2 b short, i think. there is no way 2 sit and type comfortably enuff rite now. i am in good spirits. went 2 doctor yesterday. ordeal. getting in and out of car and wheelchairs, etc…

now slightly better drugs r helping.

rumors of “longer” medically authorized leave perhaps for me to heal…

trying 2 stay happy, on couch watching lots of tv, but oh well… could b worse! i have a loving wife and my son… oh wow the things he has done and is doing lately i wish i could write all about it but i just cant sit here for that long.

diet is great. i eat between 1200-1500 cals per day depends on my hunger level. everyday in the afternoon i treat myself 2 a slice of that pumpkin pie from hungrygirl’s recipes and a big mug of sf cappucino.

last time i stepped on the scale i was 145 so i’m updating my ticker to that.

diet really must b everything because i know people who r so active but eat like crap and cant lose weight.

but here i am barely move at all and just watching what i eat and how much i am doing great.

it helps a lot that even tho the inclination is there, i am not crawling to the kitchen at 2am to binge.

Morning BSers! Wondering where I have been? Well, here is your answer:

FLAT ON MY BACK.

 Sad but true, last Sunday Night, I zigged when I should have zagged & my lower back gave out on me completely. I was already having trouble W moderate pain in that area and it seized up so visciously that I merely slumped to the floor and lay there in pain for a good hour before scootching my way back to the couch where I have been ever since.

I can only crawl on my hands and my knees but that gets painful due to my ribs and also it hurts my knees. So sometimes I crawl to the rest-room And somtimes my wife just gets me a pee-bottle.

I do feel a little better. I was able to crawl in here today and haul myself on to the chair. And I can now pull myself up on things and stand for  a few brief moments.

In better news. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ate Turkey and apples and some of the pumpkin pie we made from the hungry girl recipe. I also had a slice yesterday. It is so good I can’t even believe it is so low-calorie.

Well, being confined to the couch has certainly made calorie-watching, diet and not-bingeing at night a snap. I could not even if I wanted to.

later.
