Mern, you are so perceptive and so loving, so like Katherine in ways, from what I read of you, which is a high compliment, believe me. Katherine was one of the greatest, kindest, sweetest people I have ever known. The mother of a fairly famous actor, she contracted polio at age 28 (before the vaccine) and was wheel chair bound for most of her life and in later years confined to her bed. She never complained; in fact, she said she lived a very lucky life. People thought she had been to Greece, a place she spoke of often and loved with all her heart but she had only been there in her vivid imagination. She was a teacher and a poet and an inspiration to everyone, even people who had only met her once. She died recently. I will miss her.

This is so funny. When it's hot, my husband and I usually do our 3 mile walk after dark. So, last week, we got home and the whole house smelled like bacon... not just bacon, but the really good, smokey bacon. I didn't think anything of it... maybe a neighbor was cooking or something. Next day, same thing. Everyday for a week, my whole house smelled like the best smokey ham and bacon you could imagine. It's been totally killing me! I get so hungry!
Today, I just found out that someone down the road installed a small smoker in his back yard! Wow... this is going to make dieting soooooo hard! lol 24 hours a day, I smell all that hammy, bacony goodness... ugh.

thanks everyone for the nice and warm welcome, here's my bit:
not bad for a first day.... 1725kcal and under 50g of fat, no biccies and no nuts. I'm proud of myself, I resisted pop tarts as an after dinner snack, and munched on carrot batons with a little bit of hummus instead
Mike, if the doctor says no fish oil, it doesn't count as a broken goal. It is beyond your control. First you need to get well, mate. You are mentioning epidural, funny, i only thought the use epi for women in labour...
Canary52 I love your post about Mern and Katherine, and totally agree with you (when it comes to Mern, since I didn't know Katherine).

Well I ending getting 2 spinal injections, which was news to me. One in L5 and one in S1. I had an IV drip but was conscience. I thought I would have been knocked out... nope. I didn't feel a thing b/c they had me high as a kite. Then he put some sore of pain patch on my back. Needless to say, after getting lunch I came home and CRASHED. I just woke back up and will probably fall back asleep... so guess what... I won't be able to drink a gallon of water today, since I'll only have a matter of a few hours between the time that I could eat/drink and actually awake. My calories will be down though. 
I don't know, he said no fish oil, Aleve, aspirin, multi vitamin, for 24 hours. He said it's okay to continue with the chiropractor but to wait until next week.
Thanks. The epi is try try to relieve me of some "self inflicted" back pain. It is nice to have you back and great job on your first day. No nuts for you means more for me.
