how is it possible to comment on an individual message; for example, if you want to say, "way to go girl!!!" to a person who has just shared a success. Should i remember the person's name and add a comment at the bottom of the page? What is the difference between "quick reply" and "advanced reply"? Cheers everyone

Hope it works out for you, Coconut! I have the LapBand AP or something like that, not the Realize one but I think CharleneK that posts here has the Realize.

Good evening, this place is quiet today. I had therapy today on my knee. Therapy seemed to go well, I went up in my range of motion again, got the pedals all the way around on the bike, increased the weights on my exercises. But OMG afterwards did I have pain and swelling. One spot sortta below my knee and on the inside was about the size of an egg. I've been back on my vicodin since. It didn't seem to hurt that bad during therapy but afterwards. I was pretty down about it, but feeling better now. This is probably the most pain since the first week after surgery, but this too shall pass. Stopped and visited my Grandma after but had to leave and come home and get my RX and put my leg up. DH is pampering me tonight so there's a good benefit.

Apples, am thinking of you this evening and weekend.

Meredith, anything new on the house? How's your CA visit going?

This is the day that I have dreaded. My "mom" who I've talked about was out and about with friends, lost her balance and fell on some marble steps. She lived for a couple of hours and passed away. I was 65 miles away at the time when I got the call about her accident. She lived 40 minutes after I got there.

She just got done with her last chemo treatment on Monday and was sooooooooooo happy to be getting out with friends for coffee.

I will be MIA for a few days. Funeral Monday. She was a person that set the example of how we should all live our lives. She was kind to all, ready for a party at any given moment, and gave more of herself than anyone I have ever known. She always had a kiss for you and it was right on the mouth. Her hugs were the best and everyone got one and she never said goodbye without an "I love you".

Just wanted to let you guys know what's up. My heart is broken.

Apples, I'm coming in a little late on this, but you know we all love you. Say goodbye to the woman who helped make you the woman we love. How ironic about the chemo. I just said to someone today that we may make plans but we never know if we have tomorrow.

God bless you and keep you and cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious. The Lord lift his countenance upon you and give you his peace.

Apples, I am so sorry for your loss. It's amazing the connection we can have with our other "Mom" It doesn't take birth to love someone like that. Take care of your self and I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Ifso, I think it has something to do with your ADD that gives you the reverse effect from the Vicodin. My son always gets wired on drugs that make everyone else sleep. Give him caffine and it calmed him down.

Laura, I know it has to do with my ADHD. Same thing happens to my son who's ADHD. Had to take him to the emergency room after tooth surgery because his skin felt like it was crawling and he was jumping out of it.

I have a question. Tomorrow morning I go in for a fill. I haven't had one in several months. I know I can't eat before a fill, but...am I able to have coffee before? :Yawn:

Lori, are you taking pain pill before PT?? My doctor's P.A. told me in no uncertain terms both before surgery and at discharge... take a pain pill BEFORE Pt because they WILL HURT YOU!! And I'd go straight home... visit Grandma another time (LOL) and get the leg up and put an ice bag on it!!! I iced my knee FREQUENTLY, almost up until the time we left in the RV... so... about 6 weeks. It really helps with the swelling. Enjoy the pampering!!

I've done an hour of Water aerobics every morning this week, and 3 days of 15 minute session on stationary bike. Legs feel stronger already!

I have a question. Tomorrow morning I go in for a fill. I haven't had one in several months. I know I can't eat before a fill, but...am I able to have coffee before? :Yawn:

All the doctors are different! I was never told I couldn't eat before a fill, so always had Breakfast and coffee before I went in. Not telling you to go against doctor's instructions, though.. so if they're saying don't eat, then don't eat. But since liquids go right through, I don't see any eason why you couldn't have coffee before you go.

Thanks, Janet....yep. When I said goodbye to her I told her I would love her forever and ever.

Got home from being with the family tonight. Opened mail and there was a Halloween card with a special note from her in there thanking me for providing her meals and treats. (She fell backwards going into the post office on their steps and mailing my card). A $10 bill fell out onto the floor when I opened the card. We were always going back and forth about her giving me money. She lived on SS and I knew she should not spend her money on me. I figure that $10 was her way of having the last word. She was stubborn and got her way.

Will talk to you all next week. Family tomorrow all day, Sunday wake and Monday morning funeral. Thanks again to all of you for the kind words. I am doing good...not to worry. I am strong and accept what comes my way in life and have faith that she's made friends with half of the ppl in heaven and the other half is waiting in line.:Yawn:
