munchkin392 1 Posted September 16, 2008 Isn't that GREAT! Congrats! I bought a jacket off the rack at the end of last winter. It fit but was pretty snug. I had to get something my other coat was absolutely huge on me. Anyway, I tried it on this morning and it fits perfectly. Problem is - it's a spring jacket and I'll need something much heavier for winter! We'd love to have you on the BFL challenge with us. I think it's going to be more an accountability of getting to the gym 6 days a week and keeping on track with eating well. It's 84 days. I plan to post every day, so we can all be responsible to one another. I know that really helps me with big challenges like this. You are so brave! I don't think I could do it with a trainer! I'm a wuss! Glad to hear you saw your PCP today! Thanks Mini! I was worried about you - my little Puff Mini! I was afraid we'd have to start a rap group, "Puff Mama and Heavy Double D":drum: see ya, dee~ Umm...where do I fit into Puff Mama and Heavy Double D? We need to add Munchkin in there somewhere....:tt1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minidriver 0 Posted September 16, 2008 Mini-Have you been on any steroids? And have you had any labs checked lately? If you are low on Protein it can cause you to "third space" Fluid outside of the vascular space and into the tissues. It usually happens with elderly or sick people, but it did happen to one young girl I worked with on my old floor. She kept swelling and her albumin was low when they checked it. Once she corrected her eating it went away. I had labs drawn today. We shall see. I have some weird vascular stuff that goes on in my body (autoimmune) and I just never know . . . I can't think I'm low on protein cuz I'm eating a ton of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

munchkin392 1 Posted September 16, 2008 Grrrr....why do I keep losing the posts I am writing? So frustrating! Busy, busy work weekend again. No cute 4 year old patients that wanted to give me cornrows, but I did have an adorable 98 year old man that I didn't think would make it through the night Friday. He was so much better by last night that he wouldn't sleep or be quiet all night! He kept having accidents in the bed, and he told me "Someone keeps shitting in my bed!" I about cracked up. Yep, that would be the shit elves! :tt1: They are the worst kind of elves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheesh, I know you want to be all ripped and stuff, but really......:tt1: No seriously, have you had to take prednisone for anything? Prednisone is notorious for making you swell. And I eat a ton of Protein but my protein labs are still always low it seems. It is always unfathomable to me since I eat so much of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissMom24 2 Posted September 16, 2008 I am having that stupid pain again. I did sit ups on Friday and ever since then, my port area feels bruised and so I called. It IS a possibility that it slipped (PRAY HARD LADIES). I could have gone in tomorrow, but DH is having surgery, so the soonest I could get in is Thursday am. I am doing all liquids until then. PRAY PRAY PRAY that there is no slip. I would be devestated to say the least. PRAY!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
