Honestly, I'm pissed off with the aunts and uncle, and I am relieved that Grandma is okay.
She was absolutely thrilled last night that she got to talk with Bob. She can't wait to meet him.

Family is so complicated. I sometimes think it's good that our immediately family is quite small. Although my father's side of the family we really don't talk to. Not that we don't get along, it was just my late father who always made a point to have get togethers.

Anne said it best... family is complicated. I'm glad she's doing better, and FWIW, I agree that your mom had a right to know...

Yeah family is complicated. When I was talking to Bob about all this, he told me that I'm in a tough place, I love my family, but I'm far enough away that I don't have as much influence as I would like to have in situations like this one.
My aunt doesn't get that what they did was totally disrespectful of my mother and her brother (neither of them were called until after they had the diagnosis). What if my grandmother had died?
Today is another functional workout day. We need to clean up some more trees at his mom's place.

Saturday - Functional workout helping a friend pack in Galveston.
Today - Functional workout moving tree limbs and plywood and using the pole chain saw to get the limbs that are still stuck up in the trees down. I looked like one of the three little pigs when I was done.

I've decided to start TNT. I'm to the point where I need to workout so I can sleep better and I always slept well after training.
I got up and did my measurements this morning. I'm a little fluffier than I was a month ago, but nothing serious. Oddly enough, this time everything seems to have deposited in my hips and thighs. Which is a change... everything used to deposit in my tummy and boobs.
I'll do pictures tonight.

Update on Gram. I talked to the nurse today - she's been the most helpful on in terms of giving me the information I need to make a decision about going back to Iowa. Basically Gram has a kink in her bowel (and not an obstruction due to scar tissue like she thought). The treatment they have been giving her with the air generally resolves the issue without surgery and part of the reason why she hasn't had solid food is they are hoping the bowel will unkink itself with rest. They added nutrition to her IV line yesterday and at some point this afternoon, they are going to test her out by turning off the air and seeing how her bowel reacts. If she doesn't get naseauous or bloated, they won't do surgery. If they have to do surgery, it'll be in a day or two.
If they have to do surgery it shouldn't be anything major.

So glad to hear the news about your grandmother. You must be breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Argh, I've missed so much in here. I hope your Gram keeps improving. Thanks for stopping by my log and for the nice words. I needed those today.

Ginny
You are welcome.
Talked to Gram tonight. Looks like no surgery for now. The test went well and they are going to start introducing foods back into her system.

No lifting tonight. I did Yoga this evening. It felt good to do something although I'm mega tight in my legs. I think me and the foam roller are gonna be good friends.
