Here we are to June 2nd. And I forgot to tell you I'm finally getting
a new couch in a few weeks we had to order it. Hmmm, for some reason
the one we wanted had to be ordered. But when Devin and Meluvja
went to the same sale the one they got didn't have to be ordered. That
is okay though. I'm okay with the one I've got till it comes in.

They really needed a new one too. And a couple of chairs, I'm so glad we
both got our new furniture. After my living room gets some work done
on it I'm hoping to get a new chair just for me too. We will see.

Derrick also found a Convection Oven with a Fry oven I can't remember exactly
what its called there. And we got it for his birthday later this month.
And since buying for his birthday and christmas is not easy that was great.

Derrick's 30th birthday is on June 15th I had a hard time finding a
keto birthday cake. But I finally did on esty and ordered it. Its a
red velvet cake I hope he likes it. And it stays good a while because
he wont want to eat it all at once. And I don't like red velvet but
he does. I'll get me a small chocolate one and eat that.

But also I'm on vacation starting tomorrow for 10 days since he has a birthday and then some appointments the following week. And I need to go visit my
sisters. They all seem to be having problems right now. So traveling to
see me isn't in the cards. So I'll go maybe next time they can come to me.

Donna

I hope you enjoy your vacation. where do your sisters live?
A keto birthday cake.....I can't wait to hear how it tasted to you. and if derrick liked it. how is his diet going keto is hard to stick to, has he lost a lot of weight?

I'm guessing he has lost about 20 lbs so far. He has definitely lost weight
in his face and I can see it in his body. But its not showing on the scales
like he would like. So he gets discouraged. But I know when Dale
and I were there a couple weeks ago his behavior therapist told him
the same as I he had lost weight. So others can see it.

He is weighing around 230 now. So we will see how it keeps going.

I think the hardest part for him is to eat enough right now. He isn't
eating enough calories I don't think so he is working on that.

happy 30th birthday to derrick!!!!!!!!
lots of stuff happening for him.I hope it turns out to be a fabulous year for him.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the well wishes for Derrick's birthday he had a great day.
And then on the 16th he got his keto red velvet cake. And I was already
in Kokomo but he said it was good. He is doing well on his diet and has
definitely lost 13 lbs. But he had before the birthday lost 5 more lbs.
So he is on the right track and has gone back pretty much on his diet.
And will lose more. I'm pretty proud of him. He will get to the weight
he wants soon. We just have to keep working on it.

I had a good visit with my 3 sisters, I wish I could show you my picture
with them. But I don't do a good job of getting pictures on my computer
so its not a way. Its on my face book page. And my name there is dmom3005.
Its just somewhere on my page.

Then I went back to Derrick's, took him to see his new primary. We like this
new guy. He is a very nice young guy. He can be Derrick's primary for
a long time. Which is great.

Then we had my dog, and his dogs birthdays together on Tuesday. We know Dobey was given to him in June so we always celebrate his gotcha day then,
and we have added Jakes. They had a great day.

Wednesday we had his quarterly day. And had a great meeting. And now we are set for the next three months. And a new year.

Thank you donna for your nice post to me on my thread. I drank today, 2 beers and drank 4 glasses of water to cut the beers down just adding a bit of beer to the water. So I stuck to 2 beers. I knew that I would not be able to go to trivia and not drink jeff was going to go with out me. I am just miserable by myself, and trivia is fun, there were a lot of people there.


I am glad that you had a good time with your sisters. congratulate derrick on his weight loss. can't believe he is 30....he was just a youngster when we first started meeting you on these forums. were you posting on brain talk from before?

great about the weight
fondly.

I think the drinking some beer with the water is a good way to cut down
on the beer. It sounds more like your drinking water-beer that way.

So I'm really glad your finding ways to cut down. I find that because its
for trivia its not a bad way to do it.

I've been posting Derrick and I updates on you guys post. But here they are again.

July 1st, Derrick took an ambulance to hospital for 2 seizures, and an ear infection. Then he came to my house till July 8th, then I went to his house
till July 12th, when I took him back to the doctor, he had finally gotten his
hearing back that day or the Sunday before. But anyway. He is now at
home doing pretty good. As luck would have it his usual provider for taking
to his neuro has a family emergency, and I had already asked someone to
help her take him to neuro so he wouldn't be going by himself. And my friend
wasn't going to be able to take him. So his provider took by herself. He did a good job going and doing his appointment. Anyway, things are pretty good
here. I'm doing good, and I'm back working a lot for my company.

My husband is having lots of back problems now. And is working on retiring.
