Get Well Joy! Also, Loser Monday


As you know from my last post, Joy had a trampoline accident and injured her ankle. These are photos of her after we came home from the emergency room that day. Her ankle is all splinted up so that she cannot further injure it. It has greatly reduced the pain she feels since it has been immobilized. We go to see the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow. I had to cancel her school trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City. Luckily I had purchased the trip insurance and will receive a full refund. I will let you all know what the doctor says tomorrow. Wish us luck, and thank you all so much for the prayers.

It is Loser Monday. Since last Monday was a "snow day" here in the Deep South, the Weight Watcher's meeting was closed. I don't know how I did then, but at this week's meeting I had lost an additional 2.2 pounds, for a total of 11 point something pounds lost since starting.

Congrats Julie...you're doing it!
I know it's been stressful for you and Joy. So sorry she fell. My son took gymnastics and the one time that I left practice, he fell and hit his head on the side of the mat. Just a freak accident! He was out cold for a couple of minutes. My son was the one that told me, not the owners! Oh well, alls well that ends well.

Poor Joy. She does look comfy though in that chair with all her goodies. Sorry she missed her trip.
And good for you on the loss. Wish I could say the same thing.

Oh poor Joy. If she tells me her address, I'll send her something from New Zealand to keep her happy for a wee while while she is laid up xxx

Good for you, Julie about the weight loss! That's excellent unless you're not eating from all the worry. I'll be thinking about you and Joy.

THe poor baby! Although she appears to be weathering it well, for now. Too bad about the cancellations, but good for you with the insurance!

Big congrats on dieting success!!!

I'm so sorry about the trip. Maybe you can all go together over the summer. DC is such an educational trip. Thank heaven for trip insurance! That is at least one thing you won't have to stress over.
Congratulations on still being a loser. It's not easy to stick with over time, and you are doing it!
