Someone else started a conversation about this in the Lounge, I think, but I wanted to start it here on the Texas board, also. Let's use this board as a place to offer or ask for assistance.

I live north of Dallas, and can't offer a guest room, but please PM me for my phone numbers if you have questions like where to board pets, local motel/hotel numbers, assistance agency numbers or whatever, and I'll try to get you some info. Others on the other thread have offered their homes and other help, so check for that other thread. Please post if you are leaving your home, what precautions you are taking, etc...and thanks to the Florida folks who have offered good advice.

Stay safe, Cindy

Great idea Cindy! I am offering to board a pet temporarily if someone needs me too. I don't have any extra room, but can offer assistance where I can. PM if you want my number.

I live in the northern part of DFW, Lewisville, and can help with birds or other domestic pets. I have a dog, three cats, three cockatiels, and three cockatiel eggs the first one is due to hatch on Sunday.

If anyone needs my help just let me know..

Things aren't going so well. I'd suggest those in the DFW area make sure you have enough gas and food supplies as I'm hearing gas shortages and food shortages just due to the evacuees coming into the area. God help us all!

Has anyone heard from Paula since recently? She never has called me. I'm not sure where she's evacuating to, but this thing is headed straight for her area. :) She's my band daughter and I'm so scared for her and her loved ones. :D And GINNY PLEASE REPORT IN!! NANCY - Claraluz, Lisa Green, Marie - New Hope.... please pray for these ladies and their families..

I had a pm from Paula, she was headed to a safer place, a friends house about 30 miles from her house. I told her she could come here if she wanted to.

Nance is at her brothers, it took her about 18 hours to get there, but she is safe.

Marie is in Loftin, I think the storm is headed that way!

I haven't heard about Ginny.

I filled up with gas yesterday, I also went to the store. I must say that people had big carts and flatbeds full of Water. They were buying blankets/sheets/pillows too, along with lots of batteries. I know they are saying some gas stations are closing for lack of gas.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
