Third coat on and drying. I'll probably wait until tomorrow to install the shelf and the flooring so the walls have time to cure before I rush into that. I'll still be putting coats of poly on that pole and hopefully have that done and ready to go tomorrow.
I've got a little more than half a gallon left, so I should have enough to do the pantry when I get to it.

I had to go backwards a bit to try to catch up to the current conversations.

That's what I did.
She's was too heavy for me to keep her from falling entirely, especially since it happened so quick. I just kind of cradled her and fell back with her so she'd fall on top of me. When she was ready, I helped get her back up into a sitting position and she scooted herself out onto my front steps where we could both help her back on her feet.
I found out later from my Aunt that she still got bruised up a bit despite my Grandma saying that there wasn't any pain the next few days I checked up on her.
I'm just glad I was behind her. She's got quite a bit of padding to fall on, but if she breaks something she's probably in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Quote:I think the reason why it didn't come to mind is because Boost (and Ensure) have always been notoriously low in protein, more like milkshakes and sugar with some vitamins thrown in.

Thanks for the tip! I don't know why it took me so long to think about it, but I've had a hard time maintaining an adequate diet, and it finally occurred to me that it might help.

JSF, my surgeon recommended Premier Protein, so I ordered some online. I the meantime I'm making do with whey protein mixed in with milk, Cream of Wheat and stuff like that. Next time family goes shopping I'll ask for Boost.
The other part is, I need to get more exercise. But it's so easy just to bundle under the covers and sleep..
I think I better start by doing partial squats bc right now very unsteady on my feet.
Sounds like YOU got quite a workout, tho!

Have you thought of permanently putting any heavy appliances onto locking rollers? (Obviously with the locks in front, where you can reach them! And maybe you won't need locks, but here is SoCal I don't want things dancing around in an earthquakes.) That's something I'll be doing when I eventually gut and remodel my kitchen.

Hubby has his drill press, table saw and bandsaw on locking/rolling platforms. They allow him to reconfigure his (small) shop to accommodate various sized projects and they work great.
Don't frigs comes with wheels already, tho?

That is very true. Which is why after taking a fall, my mum bought herself a walker.
