I Know I've Been Away

Sorry to be MIA lately. My kids have been off for summer and still have health issues, but they are getting better. We now know whatever is going on, it is my stomach. I have been put on Nexium and it seems to be working. Aside from the nasty side effects the first week I was on it, things have calmed down.

I have also been diagnosed with sleep apnea. It should have been diagnosed about 16 years ago, but now I have to get an A-PAP machine. They are more expensive then the C-PAP and I don't need a continuous flow of air, but different pressures of air for different parts of sleep. Now, maybe I might have a little more energy during the day to exercise and get some of my weight off. Haven't really been doing any exercising as I am too exhausted, which has been part of my nasty cycle of being tired, so I eat to get energy, but it doesn't work, so I eat some more, than gain weight and the cycle continues. My chiropractor (who is so good, he should have been an MD) says that once I get my machine, I will notice a difference and my energy will return so that I can do something about my weight.

My daughter's 9th birthday was on the 20th of August and she wanted an AG of her very own. We got her one, and hubby allowed me to get one too!! What a keeper. I have been wanting a #26 for a while now. I named her Esther Orchid.
