August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I'm at the hospital and in the pre-op area but they can't get my IV started :(

My veins are very tricky...they get shy around strangers. I pray they behave next Monday...I hate getting poked so many times. The EGD, 3x they tried to get mine started...

I have the same problem. I always let them know right off which veins are the best and I tell them to use a juvenile needle. That usually works best.

Same here. I tell the nurse she gets two tries and then her backup has to come in. She gets one try. If she cant find i tell them to bring in a heroin addict to do it

Arrgh...sent from my Ayephone matey using magic. Sleeved 8/23/13

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
