That's what you could have done when I stepped on the scale this morning and it registered 113#. The last time I weighed 113 was probably when I was 11 or 12. I's going to be long haul to get my appetite back, but I'm not going to rush it. Donald brought me 8 cupcakes this morning, and is bringing me shrimp for dinner this evening, but I can still only eat a small amount of food at a time.
I stepped out to get the mail this afternoon and was surprised at how warm it was outside. I think tomorrow will be the same, but then 3 days of rain and 60 degree weather. I shouldn't complain except that I will soon have to be out pulling up grass and weeds.
Thanks again for all the comments and good wishes for my recovery. I still have my sometimes-warped sense of humor, so I know I'm going to make it.

I didn't do much of anything today except that darn jigsaw puzzle. All I have left are a lot of pieces in various shades of green - green trees, grass, etc. I don't know why I didn't just do those first. I went to the gym...
- Surgery Date Set
My hernia surgery will take place on April 8; outpatient but with a general anesthetic. The doctor didn't think that exercise was responsible - he said it was weak tissue. I asked him if that was due to my age and he agreed that tissue weakens...
- Haircut
The only thing I've done today was to get a haircut. So when I got back home I decided to tackle the weeds, pulling the big ones and then using the spray. I made a dent in the job but still have a long way to go. When I came inside...
- Doing Better Than I Thought
I made a discovery yesterday that makes all the difference in my attitude. I have two scales - the one I have been using is a digital scale and keeps telling me I am about 109#. I stepped on my old reliable scale with a dial yesterday morning...
