Holding steady at 185.2
Finally Friday. Not working a full day today but we are going to see my FIL at the hospital. He still isn't doing well. Physically, other than his throat, he is fine. He still cannot swallow and is getting hydrated and fed through a tube. Looks like he may have to have the g-tube put in, the feeding tube that goes in your stomach. Bummer. Mentally he is not good. He is still hallucinating and is quite disoriented. Fake MIL is pulling stunts. FIL has a car. Fake MIL is not on the title. There has been talk of selling that car to fake MIL's douche bag daughter to pay for taking care of FIL's affairs when he dies. The deal has not been done. Fake MIL let douche bag daughter TAKE THE CAR!!! With no permission from FIL or us. Hubby was POed royally last night. I am not surprised in the least. This is how fake MIL and her douche bag family operate. UGH. Hubby wanted to ban fake MIL from visiting FIL. I talked him down ... because as sick as she is my FIL loves her. As long as she isn't calling the shots in terms of his healthcare and he gets comfort from her I don't think we should ban her. She isn't related to him by blood or marriage so I don't think there is an issue. IF she makes a scene at the hospital or at the nursing home when he gets transferred then that's a different story. Right now my FIL is so confused I think whatever comfort we can provide him we should. Too much drama. And, unfortunately, I fear this may go on for a while. Now his heart is good ... he may live a long time ... not knowing where he is, not really being himself. Bummer.
Eating has remained on track. I haven't been exercising quite as long but I am still exercising daily. I'm in an okay place right now with my body. Not thrilled ... I still would like to see a lower range ... but content for the moment. Being able to maintain in this range is very positive ... I look good and I feel good. I will continue to journey along this path ... practicing kindness and self acceptance ... and at some point I may lower my range or perhaps I will decide that this range is just fine. Time will tell.
I need more coffee. I think I'll wander down to the break room and see if it is done brewing! I need to get a little paperwork done before my visit at 10 am. Have a good day and thanks for listening. I am sad but I am okay.

Oh so sorry about the family drama but I think you are right if he loves her that is what is important but the issue with the car is totally something else. That would really piss me off. Get your coffee, try to relax and have a great Friday afternoon. Personally I can't wait for it to end. lol

I'm sorrry to hear that your FIL is still confused from the surgery, I would expect that to clear up any moment now hopefully (it seems a little long already). I hope the lady can calm down a bit, all these things put incredible stress on everyone. Needless to say that I'm a not really a happy camper with my weight today, I did have a nice run in the 150s but we know that all good/bad things must end someday. I will start over today and try to make it an even longer stretch in the 150s. Have a great weekend moose and thank *you* for being here for us even when you are busy and tired. Take care buddy.

Hi Moose, hey you lost weight! I thought you would not weigh in before the weekend, I must have missed something... No worries, you'll be back to the blue line in the next days, I'm sure. No scone though lol!! I'm sorry to hear about your FIL, I hope his mental health will improve soon. Until then, take care of him and don't forget to take care of you too!

Wow, what a catch 22 with your FIL. His heart is strong now, and he should live a long life, but he doesn't know who he, or half the people around him are.... so sad. And as far as fake MIL... no comment!!! Great job getting back on track with your eating and exercise though - keep it up!

I'm sorry you're sad moose, but I'm glad your weight is going down. Read about FIL and MIL. Wow, she truly sounds like a piece of work. You know they say, what goes around comes around. We don't always see it but it happens. Her time will come and it will come back with a clout. You are truly strong Moose, don't worry all will be well, and we all are here when you want to vent :-) Hope the rest of this night is restful and Saturday brings a sunny day. Be well Moose.......
