Cindy, congrats on being able to return to work. I love the days I get to work. I am a nurse and work PRN. I am glad Miss Lucy is feeling better too. The only bottle of Pepto I have ever bought was when my poor Patches got diarrhea from all the meds they pumped her full of to get her well enough to come home with us. We were at the shelter when she came in. It was her and her sister. The sister was solid white but looked grey from all the fleas on her. Patches looked grey and black.....she was actually black and white. They were rescued from an animal horder. They were covered in fleas. So anemic their gums were white. When they walked in with them I said "I want them". The cat we were picking up was our only pet so we had plenty of room and a large fenced in yard. The sister, the white puppy, didn't make it. Patches did and she came home with us three days later. She was full of many different kinds of worms and it took us quite a while to get her well buy she was precious. She isn't with us anymore. I miss her all the time. I haven't gotten another dog, but when we do it will be another rescue. We do still have the cat.....though I will say, I think he came with more than 9 lives!
I weighed today and I am losing..... doing the happy dance!! I knew my hands were less swollen but didn't think I had lost anything. On hubby's off days we eat out a lot. I have learned to really take control there. We go where he and the kids want to go....if I don't like it I am sure to eat less!
The oatmeal at the McDonald's here is really yummy. I don't know about nutrition value or calories. I just knew it had to be healthier than a biscuit.
