Where I've been and whats been goin' on



Recommended Posts

Didn't know where to post, so here I am! LOL

First...I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for not being in lately, I've been having problems with my Hotmail account, and can't get into it. I subscribe to post that I post in and like to answer them that way..... but now I can't get into it! But I think I figured out how to change it here.

Second..... I've had to go to Memphis for work and was gone a few days and really busy with work in general. I work in retail and I guess you all know that this time of year is crazzzzzzzy! Already getting ready for Christmas!

And Third........ I hit a deer with my car saturday night!!:angry:It crunched my car! I can't drive it! I was soooo upset!:welcome:

Totally messed up both fenders, both headlights-grill radiator- hood- its a mess! And to top it off- it happend just about 3 miles from my house! So now I have no ride- it happened on the weekend so an adjuster wont be out until Monday- and I go back to work Tuesday.... I hope I can get a rental!

Oh Well..... enough whinning,.... I just wanted to let ya'll know what was going on with me.:sad0:

Glad you are back, and hope we got the notifications problem fixed.

Sorry to hear about your car. Hopefully you will get it all fixed up quickly. I feel so lost whenever I don't have mine.

At least you are still here to tell about it! I almost hit a deer once driving in the mountains of Arizona...it jumped right over the hood of my car, in the night. Really scary. Luckily not a scratch on it or me or the car.

Glad you're okay Chancie - the deer could have done a lot more damage to your car and you - thank God that didn't happen.

That's GREAT news Chancie - just don't let them total it out - unless they are going to give you a fair price for it - sometimes ins. cos. don't like to do that - so fight for it if it becomes necessary!

I am glad you are ok. That could have been worse had it flipped up through the windshield. I am glad it didn't and you were not in a short car.

I love wild animals but not dodging them. I rolled a 4-Runner I owned on it's side years ago dodging a moose. I sort of rolled over into a snow puff so it didn't damage my car at all, just my nerves.

Up Date....... I'm kinda impressed with Progressive insurance!

I was coming home this morning from running errands, and I called the Auto body shop and swung by there. The Adjuster had been there Friday and gave them the OK to start the work.

$7.600.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE!!

The Auto shop said they have a good working relationship with Progressive, and they don't try to cheat you or just "glue" things, they had to order several parts.... and was all approved. So they didn't "total" it...... so maybe things will be ok. I'm hoping anyway!!

I had to use this auto body in the past and they do excellent work and don't cut corners and are honest...

They all told me it will be a few weeks, but parts are ordered and car staring to be taken apart.....

      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.
