What a cute little baby in the bathtub! Just thinking of you as I follow your thread about your dad... : ( Please give him a hug from me and let him know there is a group of us out there wishing him WELL!!!
Ciao Amici,
Come stai? Qui tutto é posto. Ho fatto terapia ogni giorno alla Don Nocchi terapia ospedale. La mia nuova anca é meglio ogni giorno. Ok, basta italiano lezione per oggi.
Hello Friends,
How are you? Here everything is good. I make therapy every day at the Don Nocchi therapy hospital. My new hip is better every day. Ok enough Italian lesson for today.
I and my partner have given our deposit for the cruise and we are hoping that we will get to meet you fabulous friends from the site here. I spoke to Claire this week as some of the Italian folks are interested in joining us on our Cruise, they have a forum here that Bernardo, my partner is involved in on my behalf, because I am not so brave to post in the Italian language yet. But I am thinking this could really be fun for our two groups to meet and a great way to make new friends from Italia.
I am hoping that everyone is feeling well, enjoying the new spring and if you are still cold that soon the sun will be warming you up.
Si sentiamo presto. (Talk to you soon)
Take good care.
Paul
I'll send you a PM about that.. I'm one of those paranoid types, LOL.. My ex-H doesn't know which town I live in and I'd prefer to keep it that way, okay? - thanks for understanding!
Great job so far on the diet. You will get your surgery date, so no worries or at least try not to worry. I can see you have been busy on this site and you just joined months ago.. Stellar job... Look forward getting to know you..
Hugz,
Tina
Hey Kelly, I see you joined my crazy bunch of groupies! *L* I'm not sure about you all but hey...I'll take on the challenge!! I just wanted to say, Hi...and welcome to the groupies group..and let you know if there is every anything I can help you with I'm all ears! Just send me off a pm...any time!
Hi Kelly
Yes I am delighted on how good it is coming off,, ok this week I went backwards again, I do that about once a month, I was down to 315 and up I went two pounds, well 1.2 really, but I count full numbers not fractions so I say two. Not surprising, is getting to be that time of the month where I retain water, so it will go down again, I am doing everything still right so I won't worry too much.
You are just getting started but you too will get there
Happy Easter, our easter day is ending at 6pm, I have posted some new photos of our day and weekend. Check out under my site and also under the photos thread. Have a happy easter.
Hugs and Love
Paul e Bernardo
Tanti Auguri per una buona Pasqua. Many wishes for a great Easter.
Couldn't sleep anymore this morning so here I am at just before 6am on the computer. I can hear the birds singing outside, have already had several rushes of the cats with their morning energy and trying to stay quiet as a mouse to let Bernardo stay asleep.
Tomorrow for Easter we will be with his family(Papa, Mamma, sister, brother in law and neice) for a traditional Pasqua Pranzo(Easter lunch) It will begin with antipasta (procutto, salami, pancetta, parma ham and maybe some sardenes, first dish with be tordelli in brodo(little ravioli's in broth), then come the fried zucchini, fried artichoke, lamb and probably veal, oven roasted patatoes, insalata, tomatoes, then Easter cake from the one of the many local bakeries served with spumante rosse dolci. Of coarse the wine hand made from his Papa will be served throughout the meal. All deliciously made my Mamma.
The first day of Spring here was wet and cold, hoping to get to see my friendly sun man soon so hopefully my body will start warming up.
Went to see the Physiotherapist Doctoressa yesterday and she set my schedule in place for one hour a day of therapy for my leg with the new hip, one hour of pool and one hour of exercise, due to beurocratic stuff there could be another one week to 10 days of waiting, however regardless I will continue the process I do each day and that is the exercises and toning for the new hip and toning for my upper body and of coarse my walking routine of 45-90 minutes of walking around the beautiful city here, the doctoressa told me that I am doing very well with the leg and to be careful as I must not over due.
Hoping you all have a wonderful holiday weekend with the special people in your lifes.
Tanti Abbracci(Many Hugs)
Paul
