[Guest]

Tang was the only orange "juice" I would drink. The pulp in real orange juice skeeved me.

It better end with her doing something impressive, like hiking the entire Appalachian trail or going up Mt. Rainier or something. 

I gave a ride to a wonderful through hiker today. I find the AT through hikers quite fascinating. Don't think I will ever be giving Mila a ride.

I loved Tang! Mmmm. . . . weird, powdered orange beverage. 

It's amazing we're all still alive. Must be all the preservatives.

I'm a kid of the 60's...we had Tang"  powdered orange drink. Most of us ate it straight from the jar with a spoon!

I still love Tang! ***Slinks away in shame.***

I recently saw ortho for knee pain. He said no obvious problem on xray. Starting physical therapy. I pray no knee surgery in my future.

liniment is a good, old-fashioned remedy that works. Available on Amazon. 

[Azubah]

Look at her go!

[Kid]

Look at her go!!!!  Good for her!

[Pepper Mostly]

Wow, Milla! Look at her go!

They still make it??!!  That brightens my day!

[Wanda]

Ah, second hour is Milla gettin’ some booty

[mmecorday]

Milla, you are kicking ass and taking names!

[Stusan]

Milla should start her "companionship" with the hunky PT guy.

[hoosiermom]

I keep dozing off. Geeze i’m old.🙃

[Hellga]

Yay, just a walker, no more wheelchair!

As well as running after trucks spraying for mosquitoes.

[hoosiermom]

She is amazing!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Thanks goodness something (one) is moving faster than a glacial pace. 

[Uuuugghh]

Girl has a thigh gap!

[Hellga]

And she is walking nearly normally with that walker!  I hope she can ditch it in another couple weeks.

And she stands nearly  completely straight!

They now have the grips on both top and bottom in case they slide.  My brother wears them. 

The dozens of pair we have from my brother were on sided.  Learned something new.

[Guest]

Why don't they just manufacture walkers that don't require the tennis ball add ons?

[Pepper Mostly]

Wow, he won't do skin removal? He's done it on others at 400 pounds!

You probably need some ice cream...or Tang.

[Stusan]

I am actually enjoying seeing a good patient.

My dad's Dr. had a cardiac arrest and died during my father's surgery. Quelle drama!

I got a phone call at work that the physician researcher had died and there was a subject coming from out of town to participate in the research study. We had to scramble to get someone else on the team named as principal investigator and the study modified; you can't just let it continue with a dead investigator. I felt bad for his team; you have a colleague who's died, but you need to get the research done to help other people live.

One has a choice, tennis balls, ski-like things, or additional set of wheels.

[Pepper Mostly]

Man, she looks great! I like the blond hair.

Milla now weighs less than me. I'm not sure how I feel about that...

You summed up my feelings.   She needs to be a great success.  Maybe doing a triathalon as someone mentioned she would be able to ride a bike.   I wonder if she ever rode a bike.

My elderly cousin spent about 5 years in a nursing home.  Much of the time she was bed ridden and something happened to her ankles so that she no longer could put her feet flat.

This is a final skin removal. She’s already had the big one while still hundreds of pounds overweight

A Tang float!

[materialgirl101]

Look at those collarbones!

[mmecorday]

I don't think we have ever seen a patient so motivated!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Good on her for getting her ass in gear. But I am dozing. I’m finding it hard to remember what they actually stuffed into the last 1:10 hrs. PT? Pt? Surgery? PT? Did I miss anything?

[ams1001]

My sound and picture keep going out for a second. Right now I can hear but the screen was black for several seconds.

[SunnyBeBe]

If someone was going to write the Dr. Now Bible, it should probably be her. She really preaches his words. Lol

No kidding!  He's so much tougher on 175lb Milla than so many other backsliding, clueless 350lb pounticipants.  Maybe he feels she needs more forceful motivation.  Down to 150!  What a weight loss success.  Pleased for her, but not much snark tonight.

Your TV is dozing off too.

Hohum.  What are we going to do for the next 50 minutes?

We bought little skis for my brother and his walker, because he only used it outside. Fortunately, he quickly moved to various canes and walking sticks.

DIANA! (Love her)

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I like how appreciative Milla is of all the help she is given.  She always says, "thank you".

Whew I lost my satellite and internet for awhile
