checking in:

Hi everyone, I've been off the computer for awhile...... had my surgery on my hand (the knuckle on the left index finger remove, it was so bad from gout) I'm having a hard time healing! but its getting better. and of course I have to type one handed!!!!! I put on a lot...... of weight with the surgery, was 241 the morning of surgery and 249 a few days after. but I started eating rice again and this morning I'm at 239. I like rice with a cheese sauce, and rice and black eyed peas, rice and chicken breast with cream of mushroom soup. If you have any good recipes I'd like to have them.

I love hearing from all of you. I really need your help with staying with this. (so much better for my health) I've been feeling pretty good but I miss my knitting and crocheting.

God bless all of you,

Joycie
