The eyes have it

how pretty


Yesterday was going very well. I had a great meeting with the physio who has ordered me a new chair, new footrest, and something to raise my monitor. She told me lots of tips about how to keep myself fresh and prevent back aches.

Then we went for a walk in the afternoon. I was so proud of myself!

But then when we got home I noticed something very strange about or kid, buckley. One of his eyes was very dialated and the other pupil was quite constricted and they weren't returning to normal. I of course totally freaked out. We drove him straight to the Animal hospial that is near us and I cried the whole time. I just knew they were going to tell me it was fatal, I couldn't get a hold of myself.

After we finally got seen after waiting in for 45 minutes with a bunch of dogs scaring my baby, the doctor checked him out and said that there weren't any signs of anything major or fatal, but he also couldn't figure out why his eye was like that. In the end he gave him some anti-infammatory drugs and said that maybe he had sustained some sort of bump to his head or neck that didn't cause any major injury to him because he didn't have any noticable lumps or scrapes, but it was enough to make his eye stay constricted. He sent us home and told us that it should work itself out over the course of the week, but if we notice anything else we should bring him bcack in.

This morning he seems normal, except his eye is still not dialating to full capacity.

I think that the weird siamese cat must have hit him because it has been coming in our yard and staring in our windows crying this weird gutteral cry at Buckley. He just did it now and I had to chase him away. We're not letting Buckley outside for a while because that cat doesn't like him and since Buckley is so friendly it is very likely that the stupid cat hurt him. I am so mad right now. I just chased it away with a broom, I mean how dare it come in our yard and sit in our window and growl at my baby??

Arrgh!

Now I don't even know what I was going to say next. Except that I am still worried about him. I didn't want to go to work today, but he seems okay, it doesn't seem to be affecting his sight or anything so I will go to work.

But I also went for a walk/run this morning for 25 minutes. How crazy is that, 2 days in a row. I'm on a roll baby. Keep my Buckley in your prayers, and I will leave you with a picture of me from last night's walk in my size 12 non-stretch jeans.

poor baby! i hope he's okay.

you look so nice out on your walk. i love walks and can't wait for the snow to go so we can get out there. i told my hubby today that once the snow melts he better be ready for daily treks. especially the days our son goes to preschool because the girl will nap while we walk so we'll be able to chat. we used to have the best chats on our walks. i miss that!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
