Can you ask for help from family, neighbors, friends etc. so that you get enough breaks from being a caregiver? </p> <p>I know that situation would drive me batty. The last time my husband was really ill (flu) he needed as much TLC as my then-newborn! </p> <p>Hang in there and hope you can pop back in here once in a while....</p> <p>S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677301 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 01:12:16 +0000 Sveta 677301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, hugs! I hope the surgery will go smoothly and without any side effects for your hubby. Good work on that shoulder, show it who is the master here! :-)<br /> It is really exciting to start on this new eating program: please keep us posting on your progress.<br /> I think it is a wise decision to focus on footwear for now. I tried those SW flats on - they are so comfortable. I would have gotten them if they come in wide width price and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677298 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 01:08:01 +0000 Jaime 677298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Attitude is the most important thing and yours is great.

It is wonderful. I am sorry that all this is going on , though !</p> <p>Hang in there !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677210 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:32:13 +0000 Anonymous 677210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, what a sad note on your husband. Do not despair, I'm not a doctor but I know by own experience that these type of injuries do very well with time and therapy. It is just a lengthy process. He must feel quite dissapointed. I'm sorry.<br /> Fantastic news on your progress! I bet you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.<br /> I'm so glad to hear about you, don't be a stranger. We have missed you around these parts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677204 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:11:06 +0000 Mochi 677204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, all. Thanks for the well wishes. Spent what seemed like the whole day at the hospital talking with surgeon and then getting tests and other formalities taken care of. It's definitely more complicated the second time, more risk of issues with wounds healing (he's diabetic), and the convalescence will be more involved and take much longer, with him at home at least a couple of weeks, maybe a month or more. I think that ultimately it will go well, but I'm still really stressed out about this as, to be honest, it's not fun to have him in my hair 24/7, when I'm trying to write and do a bunch of things, and he's often not the most grateful or easy person to be around. I guess I will have to keep focused on the long term and make sure to carve out some time for myself. I will say that I'm really looking forward to fall and a fresh start (and some more cool shoes :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677155 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 20:51:04 +0000 Inge 677155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to hear from you, Nancy. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery after the second operation. It's fantastic that your shoulder is improving every day and that you are excited about the Lean Eating programme. Do keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677059 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 18:17:22 +0000 Anonymous 677059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update, Mochi, I'm so glad things are turning around for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677049 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:48:10 +0000 fern 677049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you are recovering - and it will be easier to help your husband through his treatments.

We adore you, Nancy. Love that you chime in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-677015 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:42:53 +0000 Suz 677015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO sorry to hear about your husband. Somehow I missed that there had been another accident; what a shame!! You are a champ for dealing with all the stress. And yay for rehab and Lean Eating! I second or third the suggestion to hold off on a lot of shopping until you lose weight, but to supplement your wardrobe by thrifting at this time and also you can buy bags, scarves, and footwear, as well as some knits. Good luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676957 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:03:46 +0000 AJ 676957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update! So sorry about hubby's condition. So glad to hear about your improving shoulder and the new Lean Eating program! </p> <p>I agree with Rae about thrifting during your slim down. Kudos to your positive outlook on everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676947 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:40:56 +0000 rae 676947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sad for hubby, but very pleased for you, your shoulder, and your new program! How exciting! You are smart to wait and see what size you are before you do a lot of shopping - maybe some thrifting here and there, though? And I must say: you don't usually lose weight in your feet - shoes boots are fair game! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676929 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:27:10 +0000 JR 676929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, poor husband! So glad things seem to be looking up for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676845 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:14:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 676845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pleased to hear your shoulder is coming along Mochi and you know I wish you all sorts of luck with the Lean Eating program - maybe I should try that too!</p> <p>Sorry to hear about hubby's situation though. Here's hoping this surgeon can give DH a good result. Thinking of you both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676837 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:58:42 +0000 Jem 676837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry hubby is having trouble again, but glad you are doing better! I'm excited to hear about how the Lean Eating program goes for you. I hope this new specialist can help your DH fully recover. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676835 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:55:07 +0000 anne 676835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update! Good new for you, at least definite news for DH.</p> <p>My winter isn't going that fab fashionwise - lots of leggings and layers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676834 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:54:57 +0000 Amy 676834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh poor hubby I'll be keeping him in my thoughts and hoping that the surgery goes well and he heals quickly.</p> <p>Good news about your shoulder! The Lean Eating program sounds exciting too. </p> <p>Miss you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-some-updates#post-676832 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:51:28 +0000 Mochi 676832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, everyone! Hope your summers (or winters, if you're Down Under) are going fabbishly!</p> <p>Quick hubs update: he has definitely cleanly tore thru the Achilles tendon, and since it's the second time it happened, the situation is more complicated and his doc had to pass him on to a more experienced surgeon, whom we will be meeting with today to find out all the details, including when the operation will take place. Hubs is sad and definitely embarrassed and everything you would expect, but that's how it goes and we're managing. </p> <p>I'm doing pretty well...started working with a trainer in a modality called Z-Health that promotes rehabilitation through strengthening the nervous system. I am really enjoying it. My shoulder has come a tremendous way and I'm confident I can get it almost back to 100%. </p> <p>I also just started (yesterday!) with the Lean Eating program as recommended by Suz, and it's very exciting! I'm looking forward to getting into great shape. </p> <p>In fashion news....uh, let us not go there. I am thinking a lot about the Stuart Weitzman gunmetal snakeskin flats, but am honestly not sure they'd get the same amount of wear and versatility as a pair of boots. So on the fence. Not buying clothes as I'm not sure what size I'll be this autumn. I am a bit slovenly for now....</p> <p>Life is basically very good, with much to be grateful for. </p>
