ROFLMAO! O.k. you got me on that one:D

I am going to scream!!!!!! Now my boss went home not feeling good, with a stomache problems. I need a sterile room right now!:cool:

I'm like you Michelle, carbs set me off for a binge. If I stick with the South Beach way of eating, I don't crave carbs/sweets at all.

I love blackberry and peach cobbler. As long as the door is open, we don't care. We'll throw that dog a piece of meat and he'll be our friend always. You just can't get out of this one lady:D :cool:

Thanks Kim, I'll give them a try.

Your canoe trips sound wonderful. I love going down the river. I have a funny story, I don't know if it will be funny to you, but it was to me. My hubby and I were out on the river in a rented canoe. We were going to go fishing. Off we started, and I was in front and was paddling so hard as we were going against the current. My arms was hurting so bad after about an hour and I turned around and to say something to him and his feet were propped up and his paddle on his lap. I had been doing it all! Well I put my paddle up and made him do it all the rest of the time. He tought it was funny. Then we started fishing and was catching a lot of fish. We put the fish on a stringer, and about an hour later, he ask me if I was letting our fish go, some was floating away. I said no, and tried to pull the stringer of fish up. Well, I couldn't get them up, and I said they are stuck. I was bent clear in the Water to my shoulder trying to get these fish up. Well all of a sudden they started to come up and a HUGE, MEAN, UGLY, TURTLE, COVERED IN MOSS, came up holding one of our fish in his mouth. I started laughing, and holding the turtle up and my husbads eyes got so big, and he said if you put that thing in this canoe with us, I am going out the other side. All I could do was laugh, he was so scared. Unfortunately, the fish broke lose from the stringer, and the turtle went back in the water. I think I got even with him that day for all the paddling he put me through. We still laugh about it.

Thanks for the advice Lisa. I wouldn't even try to go through with it if I got sick. I already ask the Doc. about that and he told me it just isn't worth taking a risk, and that they would not do it. He told me if I even got a rash on my stomache, they would reschedule. I ask him if there was anything I could take if that happened, and he said you can try Vitamin c but I don't know if it will help or not. I went at noon got the c's and took them already. You might have a point about your port and all the coughing. I can't imagine how bad it would be after surgery with a terrible cough. Gosh, I have had a cold that I coughed so hard my stomach hurt really bad. So many people here in texas have this cold, I don't know if it is a flu or what. I know last week they had confirmed some cases of flu. I did get a fle shot so maybe that will help me. I need to stay in bed and away from everyone. Anybody want to take my hubby for a while? lol Just kidding, I need him right here to take care of me for a little while at least.

Start reading all the post on these boards, it is full of information. Keep reading everything you can on the internet. There is a lot of knowledge out there, it just takes some time reading. Please don't just take someone's word about it, you really need to know all the pros and cons.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Sometimes we just need to get some rest.

Penni - Isn't that always the case, make and appointment and everything gets better. I am glad to see you are keeping your appointment! Let us know how it goes.

Zoe - You are so smart:D I knew someone would clue us in. Welcome, it sounds like you are doing really good. Please keep us posted.

Great pictures Zoe! Thanks for showing them to us.

Lisa - You aren't off the hook, mine is next year, your's is this year:D :cool: Darcy - You could get a small heart or something! I will definately post as soon as I can. I got so upset earlier, a guy came in the office and he was caughing and hacking so bad. I thought he would leave right away, but not. He sat here and started talking. I got up and walked in the other office next door (my old office) and just sat there. In about half an hour the boss came to see if anything was wrong. I told him I couldn't take a chance of catching that since my surgery would be postponed. He said he never thought about it or he would have taken him over to the other office. He said stay over here, I will get rid of him. So he did, then he opened the door and aired it out, then sent me to get some Lysol. I hope I didn't catch it before I got smart enough to move. I went to Walgreens, got some Vitamin c and started taking it. When I was at the Docs the other day I ask him if I caught a cold would they cancel the surgery, and he said most likely. UGH!

Great NSV Katie!

Fantastic! You have done awsome! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thank you Miss Darcy! You would look cute with a tatoo, but I really don't like them. I will wear my leathers with you though!:cool: I wouldn't mind hosting something in the summer, but right now isn't a good time. We live about 10 minutes from Joe Pool lake, we have a bass boat down there, and we could get a spot on the shore for a party. I also have a pool with a spa so we would have some things to do. Of course we could take some pictures of you on the Harley even if you don't want to ride it. :D And, you could sport your new tatoo! Maybe next summer we could all get together here, heck, you hubby likes to fish so he would be in heaven here. :D I definately want to be healed up so I can have some fun too! I might even be able to talk my brother into a crawfish boil, he makes the best!

Ryan - I haven't went through it yet, but I did let my boss know I would be back when I felt it was time. I am not going to take any chances. Everyone bounces back different. I had my gallbladder out and was back in three days, but when I said that to the doctor, he also told me I was younger then, and this surgery is a little more painful than the gallbladder. So, I am going to play it by ear as they say and take it a day at a time. I hope you do the same, and take care of you. If you have the time, by all means take a few extra days.

One step at a time, you are getting there. I hate stress tests, I had one in 1998 and the treadmill didn't kill me, but the cuff they had on my arm hurt so bad, when it was over my arm was black and blue for two weeks. I kept telling them it was really hurting and they kept saying it's almost over. So, what other tests do you have to do yet? Keep us posted!

It's nice to know someone feels the same as me. Mine is in the garage, and I look at it everytime I walk past. I will miss riding for a while, but I know she will be there when I am ready. I will send you some of the warmer weather this spring. We'll both be riding with the wind in our faces and smaller bodies before we know it. Good Luck Ryan!

I think she has arranged both of them for all of us.

Penni - Hopefully it will just be a round of meds for you and you will be back on track soon. That really sounds strange after so long. Take care and please post as soon as you find out.

Welcome back! It sounds like you have been doing good!

I do believe that was you! I am behaving, I just am happy I can do cream soups the day before. I thought I would have to do Clear liquids. I don't want to have to lose more than I have to right now! How is your DH going to like having a housefull of good looking gals? We'll set him straight on how we all eat, you won't have that problem anymore.:eek: :D

What is the menu? How about drinks? I am ready! Leatha - You can show us all some of those new dance steps you are learning. We need some good music! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Maybe that port is causing you some infection in your body or something. You need to go to that doc. asap. Take care of yourself!
