Thanks for visiting my profile and leaving such wonderful comments. I get almost giddy when someone calls me skinny. It's been happening quite a bit lately, but I don't see it. Yes, I remember you sending me a few PM's with questions because you were schedule for surgery not long after me. It's been a wonderful experience so far. I feel so lucky and I love this site and all the wonderful people here and that includes YOU! You seem to be a very organized person with a fantasic memory. Glad you're here for all of us.

I have a question that's been bugging me, how much does a stone weigh (in pounds)? I guess I could google that and find the answer, but I'd rather ask a human.

You're doing great Gwen, keep up the good work!

This weekend I will get a new headset as I think the old one got moved around between the hospital rooms and the house one too many times and the wires went out. It was el-chepo anyway. It is wonderful to stay in touch, what are your thoughts about the cruise? You are going? Did you think my putting my campaign for the cruise choice was too pushy? I am just too excited......
Ok shut me up now.
Ci sentiamo presto.(we'll talk soon)
Abbracci tesoro.(Hugs dear)

Buona Giornata Amici,
Good Day Friends,
Just wanted to send a little update and let you know the current status. Had my first private physical therapy yesterday, it was good to add some new exercises for the hip and the therapist said that I was doing good for 2 weeks after the surgery. We decided to higher a private therapist as we await our call to start at the rehab center, they told us we would get our start date tomorrow, I want to be able to walk perfectly when I come to the States in May.
Today the sun was shining and felt warm, so I took a little sun and went for a short walk in my neighborhood, wearing my pajamas and a hoody jacket and my Nikes.
We have not yet moved into Daylight Saving time here and wont until March 29, but I like the days to be longer.
Have been doing a little gardening this week with some Spring flowers to brighten up the our corte/patio and soon it'll be bright and full of our favorite flowers and colors, hopefully I can keep our cats out of the plants a little better this year.
Bernardo's Papa and Mamma visited this afternoon, his Papa is always working on our remodeling projects and his Mamma looking for laundry to take away to wash, hang out and iron. They are really the sweet Italian old world Papa and Mamma. I feel so fortunate that they have made me part of their family.
I have started working on toning my new body a little this past week and for now taking it slowly. I still have problems with eating and exiting, mostly due to the ferro I must take to strengthen my blood, however, the Dr. has a new calcium pill I am trying so for now have stopped the medication for building up the hemoglobin level. I also think I might add to the problem as I usually have something like water or acqua tonic to drink while I eat, I'll take any suggestions about that. hint hint......
I know I have done alot in the 10 months since having the lap. gastr bypass and my body is a little bit tired and slow to get back to normal energy level.
I am anxiously awaiting to hear some news about the cruise as right now is the best time for us to by our airline tickets for flying in December before the airlines go into the summer pricing.
Well its a long read, but wanted to greet you all and update you.
Take good care.
Abbracci
Paul

You are a funcuola rock star my dear, tonight was really fun and I loved hearing the two of your with your great whit. I called Bernardo and told him I got to SKYPE with you and Mike and that we must get a new headset so I can talk too. I think my accent could be a little Western US with a tiny bit of Italian, Bernardo thinks Americans from the west sound like howling dogs. I forgive for anything he does. He really is someone special, I hope we all can cruise together or even better its not so hard for a trip from the UK on EasyJet they are so cheap also RyanAir, you and yours could come for weekend maybe sometime down the road. Hugs
