Hi, Pam:

UPS delivered!! I received my Rich Chocolate Shake and just in the nick of time.

Lately, I have been becoming somewhat depressed (with all the added responsiblities and worry that go along with being a caretaker for my husband after his stroke).

He is coming along very slowly, but I am truly a mess. I put on a happy face because no one wants to see a grumpy, old, woman complaining all the time. But, I have to keep it inside and it is taking its toll on my psyche.

I am so glad that the Cambridge order came yesterday because I now have no excuses. But, there are ALWAYS excuses for fat people like me. My Dad would say, "Excuses are for losers, Results are for winners!" I am slowly seeing my face get thinner. But, not at the rate I want it to be.

The realization of celebrating Thanksgiving at a subacute rehabilitation facility just knocked me for a mental loop. The first time in all of our years married we are not having Thanksgiving at our home. I cried and cried and then I got over it and ordered some dinnerware, flatware and glassware for the reserved table at the nursing home for the 6 of us. I have to remember that my husband is ALIVE!! God spared him and for that I am totally grateful and thankful. This Thanksgiving is truly one for the ages in our familiy history books.

Anyway, I have rambled on long enough. That's why I love this Support Board. I know you care and I can spill my guts out and ventilate with those who are going through the same thing without worrying about the intrusive and deviant nature of Facebook lurking into my soul and giving my information to the Russians. Anything on the internet is accessible, I know. But, this site seems more private to me.

Let's keep sipping and drinking, walking and hoping.
