    Hey, it's good to hear from you. I also have had a fill and I probably need another, I have been hungrey also. My oldest brother past away on July 20th. He was 49 yrs old and had a heart attack. It has really been bad I am having a hard time dealing with his death. Please remember My family in your prayers. I know I have been eating extra but I guess it is my nerves. Keep in touch. I THINK YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. Maybe I will get back on track soon.

    Hey, How are you, My friend that had the surgery in january said that it is notmal for your port to stick out. She let me feel where her port is so now I know that that is normal. I have had three really good days now I am figuring out how to take my meds. Dr cottingham called and talk to me. about the things going on and it has helped. I just have to watch drinking fast with my meds our it will flush my meds straight through me so I know I have to sip on my drink. I have lost aobut 15 pound by my scales and I feel good. Keep in touch.:thumbup:

    I called yesterday and My appointment is for Monday, Mechelle told me all the the things with my meds. are just because I wasnt getting them down good so she told me to go to puddings and mashed potatoes that was a change. It wasnt as good as I thought is would be I wish I would have just eat the pudding, It was the best. I also can have applesauce and I am sure it will help. I cant tell where my port is. I hope you have a great appointment. Let me know how it goes.
