I found it! Pat you look wonderful! You are a hot mama!

Good Morning Y'all! I can't wake up this morning, all I want to do is crawl back in bed for a while. I guess I have to look back because I missed a picture of you Pat! I too made sure my house was in order and food was in the fridge. I guess I figured I wouldn't be able to go or do anything for a while. Trish I used a lot of Popsicles and Jello along with my broth etc. It saved my life I think. lol Diane sweetie you sound so depressed. If you have any time left for a few days off, why don't you get out of there for a while. At least for a long weekend. Call in sick or something, just get some me time for yourself. Sherry - I'm sorry you are having such a hard time again. Did you try not eating anything after supper? Try making sure you drink a glass of Water and rinsing out your pouch before going to bed. Well, going to go check for a picture I missed and get in the shower. Maybe that will wake me up some. Later!

Opps, I guess I used the quick reply and ran out of room. lol Either that or I hit the wrong key again! Well, I am going to get off here and get ready for bed. Catch you all in the morning.

Hello Y'all! I'm here, just been busy cooking supper and cleaning up. We are supposed to get some nasty storms tonight, I hope we get the rain but not the storm. We need some rain really bad! Kat - Get back on that bike and ride, you will be back on your own and comfortable with it in just a few minutes. It is so much better when you are on your own and your butt is not killing you all the time. Pat - I'm tracking! ROFLMAO! You need to try it! My Harley is tuff to back up too, but I am getting more comfortable with it each time I ride it. I would much rather ride a big bike too, I just feel better being on it. I'm glad to see you riding yours again. Jessica - Is it time for you to leave????? I can't remember when you are leaving. I just hope you have the best time! Please have a good drink for me! Donna - I can't give you anymore advice, but I hope you find something to help you out. Mandy - Where are you girl???? I know out riding your new scooter! Diane - Hope the job scene is getting better for you. Keep that resume updated! Sherry - Hey chickie! What are you doing tonight? I just can't keep up with everything you do! My DH is watching the NBA game and I am on here. I am still trying to get used to this laptop, I'll be typing away and I have hit something and I am totally on something different. I always did have a heavy hand.

Hello Y'all! It's damn hot here! I think it hit 102 today! I do believe it is going to be a hot summer this year. I came home and jumped in the pool. That always seems to make it easier to take for some reason. Kat - You sound busier than a bee. I forget, do you have your own bike? Donna - I met one on one with mine, and actually found it kind of interesting. Of course I cam home and did what I wanted to anyway. Not everything, but a few things. Sherry - I've never had tough crawfish, but then maybe you had some (lobster) that overcooked? It has to be cooked right with lots of good spices. It is so yummy! I want a Wii! I like it fried too, it's so good. Of course I like it anyway I can get it. Well, DH just brought me a bowl of strawberry shortcake so I guess I best go and eat it. Hi to everyone I missed!

Welcome to LBT! Glad to have you aboard!

Congrats to you! Good Luck, and make sure to let us know how things went!

Good Afternoon Y'all! The crawfish boil was great! It was so good, I kept wishing I could eat more. We met a few new people and they were really nice. Pat - I had a cocktail for you missy, but I didn't spill mine or throw it away! roflmao! I something similar once, only I was at dinner with 8 other couples, and I had a strawberry drink in front of me. My had hit it and it went all over me from head to foot. I had on a white blouse and you should have seen me. I was so embarrased to walk out of that place. Donna - Welcome to LBT and to our thread. Good luck with your pre-op, if you have any questions, we'll be happy to help you. Dianne - I understand about the computers, after working on them all day the last thing I want to do is get back on one. Glad you stopped and said hi though. I am getting ready to go out for a swim, I have been working all morning and now I was a little r&r before starting dinner. I'm still doing laundry! Everyone have a great "Father's day".

Hello Y'all! I have been cleaning house and making some strawberry dessert. We are going to a big crawfish boil today and it's going to be so much fun. I love crawfish and my db makes the best I ever had. I can't wait. I am going to stuff myself! Not many calories in the crawfish, so I guess I can have a few cocktails too! lol Well, got to jump in the shower and get dressed to go, just wanted to say hello to y'all and see what was new. Later!

Welcome to LBT! Please tell us about yourself. Have you had surgery or are you looking into it?

Good Morning Y'all! Another hot one today! 98 degrees! Trish - It really does get better every day. Just walk as much as you can and it will help the gas, and sip Water as much as possible. If you get some shoulder pain use a heating pad, it works wonders. Those are the things that helped me most of all. Pat - I was nervous when I first started, I wasn't too sure of how bad the traffic would be at certain times. They have one bridge I have to cross and it goes up high and comes down fast. They have scraped groves in all the cement and if you have ever rode on that kind of road you will know what I mean. It is almost like the road takes control of the bike and that scares me. But, the further I went the more relaxed I got. I don't do a lot of riding alone, mostly with my husband, and he usually leads and I just follow. I had to do all the watching etc. and I was worried about that a little but once I got going I was fine. I will do it again soon, just not every day. Everyone ask me yesterday if I rode again. My boss told me I was the talk of the office. lol Probably thought what's an old lady like that doing on a Harley! I'm like you with pictures, I usually get rid of them as fast as they are taken. I hate getting my picture taken. Kat - I'm glad things are getting better for you. Jessica - I'm like you, I pack the night before or the morning of the trip. If I do it any sooner, I am just taking stuff out to use. Catch you all later!

Good Morning, Just a quick hello, I am running really late. Diane - Just remember everything happens for a reason. I know you have a better job waiting for you right around the corner. hang in there, it takes time but the job of your dreams is waiting for you. later!

Hello Y'all! It is hot and muggy here today. I just got out of the pool, and I am nice and cool now. But, now I have to cook supper so it will probably make me all hot again! Never ends! I did get some exercising done while I was in there, so that is the good thing about it. I finally rode my bike to work yesterday, everyone threw a fit over it. This morning I drove the car and everyone was wanting to know where my bike was. I like to get out of there during lunch, and it's not easy to go do something on a Harley. Mandy - Sorry to hear about your accident. I have to say I love your little scooter though. What is going on with your bike though? Kat - Glad things are working out with you. I am anxious to see some pictures. Men, mine is like yours, he never talks about the problem so we never get to the bottom of it and then a few months later it comes right back up again because nothing ever got solved. Pat - Enough strutting you stuff and get back here! lol We need some updated pictures too! Sherry - It won't hurt to swim if it's cloudy, that usually is just the shock or etc and it won't hurt you. I love that new composite stuff they have for the decks. When we were building ours I said that is what I want so we never have to worry about it again. Well, after pricing it, I changed my mind. Jessica - You look great! Don't forget to take lots of pictures with you in them so we can see when you get back. Diane - What's new chickie? Eileen - the weekend is almost here and I'm looking forward to your post! Cindy - Miss you missy! Trish - Welcome to bandland! Give us an update when you feel up to it. Well, hope I didn't miss anyone, if I did it's just the old age kicking in. lol Well, I have to go get some work done, like cooking and cleaning the kitchen again.

Good Morning Y'all! Just a quick note to say hello. I was planning on riding my bike to work today for the first time and my DH got it out for me and now they are saying 70% chance of storms with hail. Needless to say, I am going to go out and put it back in the garage! Trish - Keep busy today girl! And don't forget to come back and post how your surgery went! Good Luck and we'll be thinking about you! Later!

I have to ask did your doctor tell you what needs to be done? I can't imagine she wouldn't look into it a bit more.

Rob it could be a number of things, but since you are seeing the doctor tomorrow I wouldn't second guess anything at this point. Be sure to let him know exactly what you are feeling. Good Luck and let us know what he tells you.

thanks for the tip! It does sound good!

You are on the right track! Keep us updated! Good Luck to you!

Welcome to LBT! You will get more responses if you go the the introductions thread and post. Don't feel bad, we have all been there, that's why we have the band. Good Luck!

Every thing you are going through right now is normal. If you didn't go through all kinds of emotions then I would think something was wrong! Just keep in mind that while you read lots of bad stuff on here, this is a support board and most people come here to find answers. There are a whole lot more people that never have problems and therefore don't need the help of a support board. You will meet people on here and after a while they disappear as they don't need this support anymore. Just keep reading lots of threads, you will gain some valuable information from these threads even if you never need it, but who knows some day you might have a problem and you will know what to do or what to expect. Good Luck with your surgery, and don't forget to let us know how everything went!
