It's an updated update
My dad has been moved to a private room. He's off the ventilator but still has the feeding tube in. The doctor's going to do a swallow test before taking the tube out. From what I hear, he's been talking non-stop since they took the tube out of his throat...regardless if anyone is in the room with him or not. There's a lot of confusion and hallucinations, and we're hoping the majority of it is from the medication. He's doing much, much better.

BZ will be flying out Thursday to pick up the boys and to see his parents. Last weekend was the moving date for his dad, but that area of Canada got a bunch of snow. He tried calling the new number and the old number and never got him. He didn't want to call his sister since she sent a snotty email out to him and the other sisters. In my head I was thinking, get over it and call her so you can talk to your dad!!! On the outside, I just said, okay. I'm truly testing my blood pressure medication strength!

On the diet front, I'm holding steady with a 14 lb. loss. I'm thrilled with that since I've been eating grease for about four days now. One night, I came in with three large orders of McD's french fries and dumped them out on a plate. BZ and I and even Molson chowed down. I told BZ THIS is what I've been craving! Let me tell ya, sisters...it was damn good! Since then I've had Wendy's, pizza, tacos, nachos...I'm thrilled with the maintenance.
I probably won't really get back on the "program" until after the holidays. I'll be watching and attempting to make right choices, but I know I'll be eating stuff I shouldn't. I'm living for the day I don't let food control me.
If I don't write before the holidays, I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a very safe holiday. Can't wait to hear what Santa brought ya!!
Have a good one, Girls!
