Mini, So happy things are no longer being hidden from you. To quote Dr.Phil " you can't fix what you don't acknowledge".

Have you heard how your exams went?

Carole, I so wish and pray your headaches would subside.

Breathe, relax and rest... Everything can wait.

What's going on with Jack, having outpatient surgery? T&P with him.

Di, I hope no news is good news. I pray all is well and improving with your brother.

Michelle, <<big hug>>, hope you are doing well tonight.

Janet, how is your mom doing? Any word? Definitely keeping Maddy in my thoughts as well. Is there something behind why they are doing the endoscopy?

Terri, beautiful quilt and very beautiful goddaughter. Oh, the innocence of youth.

Dee, studying hard? One day closer to you and Terri meeting. :)

Carole, I hope your Migraine has subsided. Those really can be so debilitating. Take care of yourself too. The boxes will be there. :)

Have a great day tomorrow everyone. I think my "funk" is subsiding.. PHEW!!!

Just stopping by to say "Hi"...

Today was better, I still had the Headache this morning, but the medication kept it at a minimum. I did not push myself today, and did not get as much accomplished as I wanted. But I did get over to the rec center for my minutes on the recumbent bike!

Terri, beautiful quilt and lovely Goddaughter!

Janet, definitely prayers for Maddy that all will go well...

Dawn, so pleased to read that your focus is back and your funk gone!

Michelle...it's always a relief to know the situation you are dealing with, and can take effective action. Your son will adjust, and likely will lead the way with his understanding of what he needs to do for himself. Seth did...and he continues to amaze me with all he has achieved.

Dee...how is the summer going? What new adventures have you been up to?

Diane, I hope and pray that you are home and your brother improving...

I don't know what the schedule is tomorrow. Jack has an appointment in the morning, and we will know more then.

Happy Friday everyone...hugs...

Good afternoon ladies,

Maddy did well with endo. But they did wait until she was away from Paula and Jack and poked her at least 7 times for an IV. She is so bruised... Paula said "that will not happen again". All IV's will be done in her presence.

Dawn, she had to have endo b/c she is tube fed and they wanted to see why her tube seems to be leaking a lot. They think that the balloon that holds it in was being overfilled. The more Paula filled it, the worse the link got.

I took Delaney and Jack to the beach and then we had a picnic lunch.

They had ham & cheese sandwich from Subway. I got an egg white and ham wrap. OMG, I am still suffering from a stuck on just one bite.

Freaked the poor kids out. I explained what was going on and they felt bad they could not help me in any way.

Mom is at home, for now. She needs to get her strength back and have GB removed. I will be going to Gainesville next week.

I hope you all have had a good friday.

TTYL

Jay called a little while ago...Jodi, our DIL whose graduation we will be attending next month, God willing, already has a job with her first choice cardiology group at her preferred hospital. She begins her transition position the Monday following the weekend she graduates. She will be a rounding nurse with the cardiologist at the hospital until she passes her board exam, and then will become the ARNP for the same cardiologist.

She has worked so hard over the past 2.5 years with being a great mom, attending school, and continuing to work in the cardiac care unit at ORMC.

We are so happy for the entire family! :)

And, Jack is scheduled for surgery to repair a hernia next Friday.

I really need to learn the way home now, because I will have to do the driving. Some of the roads on the mountain still confuse me. Tomorrow will be our date night, so I'm looking forward to driving a test drive to see how well I do.

I'm taking the evening off from the gym, my right knee is inflamed again. At least now I am wiser, and won't push myself to the point of hobbling again.

I hope everyone is well, that Janet is feeling better...and hope that Maddy's medical team learns how to place IV's and finds out some answers to the leakage.

BBOTWE....!

Hugs...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
