Thoughts to Ponder.
Have a Great Week.

The older I get, the more I understand why roosters just scream to start their day.
You know you are old when you have "upstairs ibuprofen" and "downstairs ibuprofen."
How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life, when the rabbit is always jumping but only lives for around two years, and the turtle that doesn't exercise at all lives for up to 200 years. So, rest, chill, eat, drink, and enjoy life
If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon.
When I lost three fingers on my right I asked the doctor if I would still be able to write with it, he said, "Possibly, but I wouldn't count on it."
I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise. But, that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.
Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their life has clearly never had two candy bars fall down at once from a vending machine.
When a kid says, "Daddy, I want Mommy," that's the kid version of , "I'd like to speak to your supervisor."
Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say CLOSE ENOUGH.
Last night the internet stopped working so I spent a few hours with my family. They seem like good people.
If Adam and Eve were Cajuns they would have eaten the snake instead of the apple and saved us all a lot of trouble.
Weight loss goal; to be able to clip my toenails and breathe at the same time.
Some of my friends exercise every day. Meanwhile, I am watching a show I don't like because the remote fell on the floor.
For those of you that don't want Alexa or Siri listening in on your conversation, they are making a male version...it doesn't listen to anything.
I have many hidden talents. I just wish I could remember where I hid them.
My idea of a Super Bowl is a toilet that cleans itself.
Apparently, exercise helps you with decision making. It is true. I went for a run this morning and decided I am never going to do that again.

Thank you all my Family, Friends, LOL
MEMBERS and clients. I appreciate all your prayers and comments that got me through this “Jiffy” total knee replacement The surgical team and Dr. Timothy Kavanaugh.
I know your prayers and great Dr & care got me through so successfully.
Just returned from Church. Good to be out and see LOL FRIENDS.
Folks asked how the surgery went Here’s a description of Friday.

Marc is here for a few days His lady friend Tammy in Dallas gave him those shirts a week ago to give to me. I’m sure she ordered them on line. She’s always thinking of us.

I was at the surgical center at 5:30am even after missing the Shea exit. Lots of construction on the 101 on the E side.
MET EVERYONE involved in my surgical team. ALL WOMEN except for Dr. Kavanaugh. I went into the OR at 7:34. I think I heard them say that. Not sure how long I was out. I told them I was a Red Head so they might have given me a little extra juice. LOL.

I THINK I was coming out of the anesthetic about 10:30. Was pretty groggy.
Saw Dr Kavanaugh and asked if he cleaned up all the arthritis. He said yes.
Using a walker I had to walk to a room and up and down 3 stairs. Then a wheel chair to the car. Marc drove and we were home by noon. Had 1/2 a sandwich and then slept 2 hrs. in the recliner with an ice bag on all day & night.
Did two sessions for 10 passive and 2 active minutes on my Rom tech machine.
The guys cooked dinner and ever few hours I walked with a walker around the house.
About 11pm I did about 20 laps around the island in the kitchen.
Slept in the chair from 1am -5am.
Time for a p*e break. Then Tom helped me into bed. I Slept some on my side til 9 and feeling quite. Feeling better than expected and Thankful for the prayers, Good comments and friendship.
Now Saturday at 7pm. Dinner is ready and here’s to a good night.
Love & Hugs
Karen.

💔What would *you* do if you were alone and had a heart attack?💔
1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden you have chest pains. They are starting to radiate in your arm and jaw. It feels like you’re being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 SECONDS!! before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs, and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. This is how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9.
Instead of posting memes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.
