gone 4 ever

kc I think this is the best reward ever. I will take you up on your challenge when I hit 100 lbs. I volunteer at one of our local food banks. it is an awesome ministry.

Looking good Miss M. Everyone is doing a great job! it is an awesome thought knowing that 1 day I will post here! WOOHOO to all of you!:thumbup:

I am so sorry to hear. She was very special. I loved her post. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

So sorry to the both of you. This is one thing that stays in the back of my mind. What if. I was self pay and can't afford anything else. I can't even afford to have it taken out. But if I have the insurance if the need arises then praise God. Then if insurance would let me do a revision it would be to the sleeve. But I can only imagine what your both going through. Thoughts and prayers are with you both.

congrats. Won't be much longer will it?

Be safe Tap. Maybe you will get some band friendly food while there. Still glad I am NOT the one sitting in the meetings! LOL Morning everyone have a blessed Sunday.

Sounds great. I will substitute ground bison for the beef. It is healthier than beef. Has very little fat, doesn't shrink up because of that. Has fewer calories than beef. Taste better than ground turkey. Draw back is it is pricey. My kids are good to me. they buy it for me. 1 lb is 2-4 meals depending on what I use it for. It's just me so it averages out to about $1.25 per meal for me for the bison. I want to try the bison hotdogs. But they aren't sold in the stores around here. Olive oil mayo rocks. love that stuff. I don't use low fat cheese except swiss. The rest is full flavor. The evaporated milk is good or also mix it with powder milk. Just use a little less. Can't waite to try this recipe.

Congrats! She is beautiful! What a pretty name. I am glad everything went well. You and hubby are so happy looking!

WooHoo Beth. thoughts and prayers all the way around! Well guess what I have another job interview on Tuesday. The thing about this is my daughters boss called them and told them about me and my health problems and they are still willing to interview me!

I had trouble so I picked 3...Elija Samuel, Brendan Samuel and David Sebastian. All the names were good but these 3 I liked best. I don't know if it because I have nephews with the name Samuel (Sam) and David. But I have always loved the name Elija. Good luck hon

YEAY Ebony. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Feel the vibes from all of us here! Think positive! :thumbup: Wow Mac, that is awful.:eek: It must be keeping the rest of you on pins and needles also. My DSIL went through something similar recently. Another company bought them out. She was blessed. She was 1 of the few they kept. She has been with the company 32 yrs. Now for me. I know, I know, It's all about ME!!!!!!!!:tongue2: I got a JOB! yeay me!:thumbup: It's at a place I worked at before. They don't have any level caregiver that I am at so they are training me to the next highest level. i am a little concerned because of my back, hopefully I won't have to much lifting of patients. Training starts the 15th. 1st pay is I f I remember correctly the 26th? I will have to look. I haven't even told my kids yet! LOL. guess I need to call them and let them know.

Ya know as bad as I need a job, I am glad I am not you right now. :wink2:I can do meetings that are 3-4 hrs long, but power meetings make me very antsy and BORED! I can't sit still.I have a hard time being still in short meetings. Thank you Susan. I am glad you and hubby are doing so good. Also that you both have a good outlook on the apartment. Good luck with it all. I agree with what slim says Ebony. I am getting ready to go out job hunting. Just pray I can last till I fill out the last application since I am not taking any pain meds. I felt great when I woke up. Was actually pain free, then I moved!:biggrin: I had slept till 8:30 this morning. I don't sleep late so this was nice.Have a nice day every one. Blessings to all. THANK YOU ALL for being here for me. You don't know how much it means to me.

Thanks I'll try it.

Wooohooo here comes the baby!

No I pray everything is alright after the meeting.

I just talked to the Drs office that the ER referred me to. I guess I don't get any kind of help. $404.00 for the initial consult and that is if I bring the x-rays and MRI from the ER. Then $50.00 a month after that unless they do more e-rays and stuff! His words needs to be dripping in gold for that amount!

Thanks Lulu. That is what I am doing now. I am waiting to hear back from the SS office to see if I could maybe get temporary disability assistance. I have a list of churches to call. Unfortunately like my church they refer you to other churches that they partner with. You can only call them on certain days between certain hrs. Usually a 2 hr block. Just heard back from SS...NOPE! left message with local welfare office. But usually they don't help you unless you have children at home and that is $124.00 a month. The system here stinks big time.

Wow ya'll have the hook up! I love Guntersville. I usually stop on my way to or from the Dr. since he is in Albertville. I pray safe travels for everyone and have a blast!I think I covered everything you will be doing.

Nanook Congrats and good luck. You know you can still post. You don't have to lurk. their are others who have had revisions of all types and they still post. I think the info from ya'll is very useful. It might help someones else who might be needing a revision or might have symptoms that they don't realize are problems until they read ya'lls post. So keep us posted.:redface: lol

Well Heather and Cherry any day now! I pray you both have easy deliveries. Make sure you keep us posted please! Darby congrats on your pregnancy.

Thank you Beth. I'm sitting here crying like a baby. I know God has a plan. It just isn't my plan. I need to get over the pity party and put on my big girl panties and deal with it head on with God's guidance. Thank you Kat. You made me feel better about the thyroid. Don't worry I will PM you if I have questions. lol I doubt I can use workmans comp. I didn't say anything about it.It was on Friday. Sat. I woke up thinking I slept wrong or pulled a muscle. So I didn't report it. If I tried now I would have a hard time proving it happened at work. My sister said to try to draw temporary disability through the state. There is a clinic that is based on your income. I am going to sign up with them. They might be able to help. Plus any meds they prescribe I can get right there at a big discount. You know it sad when Benedryl works better than the pain meds the doc prescribed! Even the shot they gave me in the hospital didn't work well. They asked me about my pain level about 30 min. after they gave me the shot and when I told then it was a high 7 low eight they just shook thier head. Usually Hydrocodn works fine for me. But it isn't hardly taking the edge off. The reason I slept Tuesday night was because of the Benedryl. I have been up for hrs. tonight. But part is nerves also.
